People will be active during the summer, because of vacation. This will give a temporary boost in activity, but it will not last. Am I being cynical? Perhaps, but all I see now is talk as usual.

Replays are better than ghosts anyway, you can do so much more with a replay.

From what i've saw, the ghosts give you some sort of feeling that you are playing against other people live, but this is like a magic trick, an illusion, and once you know the truth, it's not as exciting or wonderful.

I do not take pleasure in comparing Rope Clash to WA and calling it inferior, it is only an inferior game because WA is like the holy grail of roping physics, I don't think anything will ever match it, there is no shame in this.

Ghost racing is more common than you think. I remember back in Mario Kart 64 time trial mode. You race against your own ghost, and that was pretty cool. Perhaps something like that could be implemented. into WA. But if you are to race against others, you would need their replay.

There are no displeasure stating certain facts. Though World War 2 did happen, I do not take pleasure acknowledging such facts. But then again, maybe we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for WWII. Neither would Rope Clash.... But stating obvious facts, or ehm objective opinion, can be a form of encouragement. So I took pleasure stating something I am proud of, and I hope the author isn't crying about it and make it better and remove p2w element.

Sure, if I have 3 hours I'd pull my laptop out. If I have 5 minutes or even 30 minutes I'm not playing WA - for that hassle there's nothing new for me to experience, no more magic. ProjectX still gives me that experience, but it's hard to find games, and it has poor compatibility/performance. I really want 3.8 to come out and for this new scheme format to be taken advantage of.

Does anyone know if it would be technically possible to add ghost racing to WA?

Remember the line ''Limited parameters'' j0e? I think you are exhibiting this trait wonderfully in your post. There's tons of magic left in WA. But with a narrow mind that has exhausted all most resources within the parameters, then it is hard to see past the horizon.  But you and others do not allow yourselves to go beyond, but instead clinging to the usual worn out phrase''None of my friends plays WA anymore. WA is dead''. It is not, regular dudes like you and I still plays it. Try something new, venture into the unknown.

Sure some of my friends don't play much or nothing at all anymore, but that's not to say the game is dead. It is the pursuit of activity you ride on, and what you take with you, will be part of the ride. I play a variety of scheme, particularly Zar schemes, it is the scheme people often come to my game for. A beacon of activity and fun. You need to find your beacon, as well as everyone else. The past is dead, get over it.

Ghost racing huh? Sounds like a module that could be made.

Also WA is superior, compared to this inferior PC rope clash. duh.

People carry laptop easily in backpacks.... 

Why would anyone stoop so low and support these types of business practices? It is like supporting EA, Activision and Bethesda's monetization. You become part of the greed, and you will continue to bleed.

The dumbest argument could be ''Don't pay, you are already experienced. Let the noobs pay.'' Pride & Accomplishment at its peak.

So this game could be a fad, WA is indeed superior.

The update seem significant enough for a reissue, and If it is marketed properly, it could accumulate more players.

Nope not gonna read those wall of texts

I did.

It was Informative, it is subjective, and people can interpret it their way, as far as they allow themselves too.

Are there any 'must have' PC games out nowadays?

I'm always looking for something to play but can never find anything interesting. For the record, I'm not into 'battle arena' type games, the vast majority of first-person shooters, most MMORPG's, sports titles (except racing), etc.

What is good nowadays? I want to play something new but every time someone suggests something to me IRL it looks dumb as f@#!.

These are my suggestions
A Plague Tale - Innocence
Hellblade - Senua's Sacrifice
Batman - The Enemy Within
The Wolf Among Us
Life is Strange
Vampyr
INSIDE

All of these are story driven games. I am not sure if they are 'dumb as a f@#!'' but I liked them.

Lmfao, you've been sucked in and manipulated so easily

It is actually shocking and depressing to witness that people allow themselves to be manipulated. People's mind are so fragile and weak, the only truth they see is the limited parameters that's made for them.

You have the limited parameters - you haven't played the game. I haven't been manipulated - this is a great game. It's not perfect. Let's keep this thread for suggestions/feedback. TUS forums are turning into a cesspool.

''I haven't been manipulated''- That might be something a manipulated person would say 

You could make a separate topic ''Rope Clash Feedback & Suggestions''.

I highly doubt the author will be able respond to all the major criticism in this thread now. Even if he did reply, it would probably be in some generic corporate manner that would leave more skepticism.

I am not DOUBTING the game is fun, it is the author's replies and handling of the situation that makes me doubt. With these types of ideology, it is a cause to concern, that's what I think. 

Then again, if people genially loves this game and other games with similar practices, sure. I can't stop them. To me, it feels like recipe for disaster.

I have this game, so if anyone interested to game, let me know.

People are of course free to voice their opinions. I'm just trying to give Mesiba the benefit of the doubt (devil's advocate), since it seems he's just about done with this thread. He's made a very good game and I dont want to scare him off. Also trying not to disrespect my worms friends here. To an outsider we can appear collectively (myself included) as a rabid, obsessive, sometimes unreasonable fanbase. I don't think anyone in this thread has said anything too unreasonable, but the collective impact of all those posts at once is probably overwhelming.

Just realized it's only been 1 day since Mesiba's last post. This thread moves fast!  I'm not too worried about p2w issues but am still hoping for clarification on one thing... and then hopefully we can move on to other aspects of the game.

My only unresolved question: will the 5000 coin "prestige boost" ever give a player higher stats than a normal non-paying player who has earned full rope stats? I think (and hope) the answer is no but would like confirmation.

I would not classify anyone in this topic as ''rabid, obsessive, sometimes unreasonable fan.'' All I ever did was to voice my thoughts, and give critique. If this user Mesiba cannot handle legit concerns and opinion, it does not belong on the Internet, and does not make a great front for his game, or anything in the gaming industry with such mindset.

We all here are not a collective, you and I are certainly not one, and we don't see eye to eye on some things.  To me, it seems like you endorse microtransaction and p2w mechanics. It feels like you want to bury this element of the game, and focus on the positive. To turn a blind eye to something negative, will only make it grow and fester, and pay to win is certainly not a good thing. You don't seem to care of how such ideology of microtransaction affects adults, but particular children who are more susceptible to shady monetization. There's no reason to train kids to gamble.  Apparently, this is the way of the world, and you seem to embrace it.

Luckily, as I stated earlier, this whole microtransaction business, is being blocked, banned in certain countries, and some countries such as the US are pursuing new laws to make it illegal for people under the age of 18 to play.

Finally someone who tried the game. IMO it's good not having a leaderboard and giving noobs the impression that they're breaking records. Do you want them to see that Cleroth finished a map in 14 seconds, when they're happy about beating it in 58? There could be a hidden leaderboard somewhere maybe.

People should be able to voice their thought about anything without having to have tried it. It doesn't make a valid opinion about the business practice of the game invalid. People that are interested, should be aware,  that is why being critical is important. Because who would want to follow so blindly as a money tool for a game publiser, who's sole purpose is to dry their customer wallets out, and even admitting to it.

I thought so too Sensei & I agree.

But after reading the author's line

QuoteP2W has become a standard way to monetize in the mobile game industry, That's just the way it is.

Even if he did make changes to have cosmetic items for purchase, I still would be skeptical. Because he can easily reverse the changes. Game publisher have done this before, or had games with no p2w elements, and later add them. Because ''That's just the way it is''.

Hi guys and thanks for all the feedback
About the pay to win discussion, Comparing to other mobile game with this system, I believe this game is a lot more skill based.
P2W has become a standard way to monetize in the mobile game industry, That's just the way it is. I'm just trying to get paid for the work I did.
I'm not here to defend this mechanism, if you won't play the game because it has microtransactions, I respect your decision.
I would rather the discussion will be about cool new ideas/changes to the game

Hah! Right on, there's no way you come out as a victim of this. There's millions of people that have fallen victim to these type of shady monetization like the one in your game. There are other ways of getting income instead of feeding on the weak.

What's more disturbing, you openly justified & admitted that it is ok to take advantage of people in this business practice. Yet, you hide behind your little game, so you can harvest sympathy, & support from experienced players. Yet, it saddens me that such players supports such ideology.

Why on earth are people so blind and willingly go along with such nonsense? There are more honorable developers here on TUS & WA than this.

Imagine if Team17 released this, and a PR guy came to talk about it. I guess It wouldn't be well received, and I suspect that many of the arguments made by me here would be more thought of.
Or even worse, if he succeeds with his game, and Team17 hires him, then all future Worm tittles would be full of monetization. *Shudders*.
Then again, one could argue that Team17 was already worse *facepalm*.
