Category setup

Heya, I've noticed some issues with the current way the categories are setup:

  1. Solo-Runs now require 4 players aswell
  • Because you can only set the player count per each category (thanks again Rasta for doing that :) ), you currently can't submit Solo runs, because SRC asks you to input all 4 names there. My proposed solution would be to split Solo & Crew into two categories, but this also ties in with my next point:
  1. Every single mission is listed as a "Full-Game Run".
  • This makes it a bit disorganized, because there are currently 6 categories each with "Solo" & "Crew" variants (with the issue explained above), with up to 34 "subcategories" for the individual faction races. My proposed solution for this would be to move all the individual faction races to a new "Individual Level Leaderboard", while leaving the "close to full-game" categories on there (stuff like 100% Story, all (short/medium/long) faction missions, visiting the USA, etc.), while having a IL Leaderboard with seperate categories for crew & solo, and each faction mission added as an "individual level". Only downsight of this would be that (to my knowledge from moderating other games), full-game leaderboards can't be moved to IL ones directly, the runs would need to be re-added individually. However, I think these solutions would be greatly improving the experience of runners on The Crew SRC.

Also, I'd like to offer my help in doing these changes, if they get accepted, aswell as moderating the game in general. While I'm (not yet) really "known" here, I do have experience moderating another other game for several years now (see my profile), and have been in close contact to other runners of the game, like In4Fun. If you want to reach out to me on other platforms aswell, I do have links to some on my SRC profile, otherwise just dm me on there or something.

Thanks in advance already for concidering this :)

Would be awesome if these are adjusted, I'm sure it takes time but the resulting page would look much better and simpler. I can totally trust Curry, him and Rasta would make a great team IMO.

Heyo guys, Freshly mod here, I just wanted to ask you if you had more suggestions about category management.

About original post:

  1. I don't remember this. Is this still an issue atm ? I've never had this when submitting solo runs.

  2. It's true that all individual missions being listed as "full game runs" doesn't quite make sense as we know. Individual Level section is currently empty in fact. Subcategories have been used for that purpose. Do you guys think moving everything (and every individual run) to Individual Levels would be much of an improvement ? As you said, it would require to move every run manually and validate again. Well, I've just done that with the Crew runs that were categorized as Solo, it isn't that long of a task. Creating the new structure would be the thing that takes a lot of time I guess. I believe that us few active guys here are used to how the categories are sorted as of now; but what about anyone who just visits ? Is the current scheme decent enough ?

  3. @CurryMaker: you proposed your help a while ago, I'd like to ask you if you still are interested ;)

Thanks already for your feedback
