Is this still open? I had several in mind:
- On my calculation, the current "Buy class A Truck" category need net income that is around the same as the old "Lisbon to Warsaw", which is 9-10 times "Unlock New Country". Since "buy truck" might need to run same route all the way... bring it back maybe? Though personally I'm not sure if I can do a run that long.
- And while we're at it, I'd add "Rome to Newcastle", similar net income to "Class B truck" (5-6 times "UNC").
- I am also thinking of what I call "Around the Home". The objective is to deliver to every city in starting country(ies). Make subcategories on each country, except join those having exact same set of starting cities.
Thanks for your suggestions! I added Lisbon to Warsaw and Rome to Newcastle as misc categories... I'm thinking about adding Around the Home
[quote=Rules on "Lisbon to Warsaw" and "Rome to Newcastle"]Timer ends when 'Buy' button hit in the truck shop.[/quote] Might need fix.
Am I the only one who thinks that "Rome to Newcastle" and "Lisbon to Warsaw" category rules are bad? In other trucking games, the X to Y category speedruns are just pure driving, and unlocking isn't necessary. A 6hour speedrun just with trucking seems weird, it should be just pure driving right? Unlocking doesn't need to be a part of the run. 6hours, come on. :P
Have to admit that @DdariQ has a good point there (even though I am the one throwing in the "Rome-Newcastle" cat.).
By the way, did we forget (or simply ignore?) about the Career menu in Notebook? https://imgur.com/yjjqv7H https://imgur.com/tzyI53Y I think this is pretty much the "completion progression" in this game, with Master being the 100% mark. I haven't see the requirements beyond these two levels, but I predict that getting Master will be really long, like Animal Crossing 100% long.
Will the "Rome to Newcastle" and "Lisbon to Warsaw" category rules get changed/fixed? Based on my feedback above. Thanks.
But why remove it? That's not what I suggested. What I suggested was that the unlocking part shouldn't be part of the run, it should be a New Game+ purely driving from City to City. "In other trucking games, the X to Y category speedruns are just pure driving, and the unlocking isn't part of the run". So I'm glad to see there's New Game and on top of that New Game+ got added to City to City.
I think Lisbon to Warsaw could be added back to City to City. Rome to Newcastle is like the longest distance from South to North. Lisbon to Warsaw would be longest distance from West to East. Two different routes through Europe as challenging categories are fine. For ETS2 and ATS there are multiple City to City categories too. So why not have more here as well?
I'd be keen to see some additional City-City runs added, maybe some that didn't require unlocking at all to do even without NG+ (that would just allow for better trucks). Perhaps the longest distances within the specific starting regions?
@ajchimaera I was thinking about that too, yeah. I can add City to City runs, we just need to figure out good ones that would make sense.
