Just an Idea here, I was wondering If someone had already created a similar thread but I couldn't find any. I was thinking about having scheduled events throughout the week for players who are interested in racing in GTA online. I know we have the crew vs crew battles and Broughy hosts endurance events and such. However, these don't come around too often and I was thinking that If we had these scheduled events then It gives people in the crew something to do throughout the days when maybe there isn't much happening. As I am often on my Xbox daily I would happily host events every few days as long as there were enough people available to play.
This also opens up the opportunity for players to race on playlists and tracks which haven't been used before. The results could then be posted and a league table even produced showing who has the most points and then by the end of each week/month the overall winner could win a prize (optional) or just main bragging rights haha!
Anyway, let me know your thoughts on this and whether you think It would be a good idea. If not then we can just go back to racing in playlists every now and then.
Thanks
Craig!

Jojoba oil, Pringles and a pair of tights are a great way to spend a Tuesday evening.

If this garners enough interest, I can make a sub board for it.
Currently I added a calender to the board you can click on it and see official events. As it is right now, anyone in staff can add an event to the calender.

Great idea. It would actually be cool to have a weekly user created playlist. Members submit their races (maybe with guidelines) and someone throws that into a playlist. Then we can get together on Thursdays (or whatever) and run custom created races. Maybe even to the point of having some contests and we can throw together a few NODO Playlists for fun and profit. I know we have the Broughy verified stuff, which are cool too, but it would be fun to see the cool creations that this crew comes up with.
I also think it would be nice to have some of the more popular playlists in a thread. I find that when I race with NODO that they often play these playlists that have lots of cool tracks, that I have never seen before. It would be nice to get some practice on some of these tracks, and it can be a pain to remember to bookmark and create playlists on my own. Especially when there is a way to share a playlist.

Yeah for sure, I'm fine with dealing with these events on the Xbox side of things, however for the Playstation 3 side we are going to have to ask around and see if someone will take the lead on that end.

Sounds good ikayos . Quite a few responses so far and I'm sure there will be more to follow. Just gives people something to do rather than race random lobbies and also adds the competitive edge to the races. |

Broughy1322 or a member of staff could create a sub board for this then it would be great, even if it was just for testing to see how it pans out.

I was thinking about something like daily racing events, with set time, set playlist, but nothing official and who wants to join can do it at anytime.
Example:
Monday 16PM GMT- BV 1/2/3/5
Tuesday 16PM GMT- GP season
Wednesday 16PM GMT- rock* greatest hits
Thursday 16 PM GMT- GTA 5000 season 1, round 1/2/3/4
etc...
i would host playlists everyday but every time i do it my xbox freezes, especially with more than 4-5 people...
naturally this would be nothing serious, just something a little more organized than what we have now (just random playlists at random times). Let me know what you guys think.

Sounds good Redbeard9295. I don't mind hosting the playlists but I don't have all of them on the console, If someone could link them all so I could add them to the game that would be great. |

Maybe one day's event could be a 'guest playlist', where one of us hosts a playlists featuring our own tracks for people to enjoy. The added benefit of this is that if one person can't host one day, someone else can start a playlist for everyone.

The added benefit of this is that if one person can't host one day, someone else can start a playlist for everyone. Of course, the playlist and the host too will change most of the times, it also depends from the time we have available. There should be posts (in this thread or in another) announcing who will host the playlist of the next day, which playlist it will be and at what time. For example: if I know that tomorrow i'm free and i can play, i say "tomorrow BV 3 at 16pm uk time" or something like that, and the people who like my post are telling me that they will take part. It's just a basic idea but it would be really nice to have something like this. Had the idea watching the Apex stalkers' forum. |
