Anyone Up for Some Chocobo Racing?

[Kilandor]

Well I was playing with the new FFXITools some. And I came Across these. I dont' think anyone knows anything about them. This is the first i've heard of anything like it.

This could be pretty fun

Nah, Chocobo Circuit's already been posted.

There's some pics of a Galka walking around, I think he MH'ed the area or something.

But, besides the lack og pics and the wait, everything about it is gonna rock.

Why you think I made a Robot Chocobo? Endurance baby... Endurance...

I'm concerned about lag now for people wanting to race. If theres no way to only allow people to leave the way they entered, then this is how everyone's gonna move between nations from now on o_o;;

Re: Anyone Up for Some Chocobo Racing?

In regards to traveling from nation to nation, I am sure it will have some restrictions, as like you cannout use the Sandorian "teleport" per say, if you are from Bastok, or windy and vice versa. Just an idea, and they might add a certain rank restriction to race and definatley a level cap to race. It would be ironic to be able to race a chocobo at any given level when you are unable to ride one prior level 15. Just another tought there.

What concerns me is the lag. Recently we seem to have alot of lag issues in the game, people and mobs not showing up etc. I will be very interested in seeing how this develops.

Last but not least, the actual mechanics of the races. I can vision a system similar to FF7's racing sytem buy that again is purely my opinion. It has to be something where you have to keep attention at your chocobos stamina, fatigue etc. and not just pushing a directional pad... I am very very curious in this and I think SE has a HUGE potential funfactor if they develop the chocobo thing the right way!

Re: Anyone Up for Some Chocobo Racing?

Well, as it stands, Chocobo Riding can be very strategic. I'm sure I'm not the fastest running around from place to place, but when I have someone to race, I usually catch up to and beat them.

It's a matter of guiding your Bird properly as well as knowing the layout of a track, same as any racing.

As far as Bird Stats, I believe that will come into play while raising them. I plan to do a whole lot of that once I'm able. I just hope they don't have N20.

And for the Multi-Nations thing. I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a Nationality Issue, considering you can't become a "citizen" of Jeuno or AlZhabi if I'm correct. It will most liely be a Air/Water ship type of terminal or a "go-back-to-the-stables-you-came-from" type of warp. Either way, I don't see it causing too much lag since the area itself is small.

But I belive Max Capacity inside of a regulation Chocobo Arena is only 1250, so I'll be sure to put the Fire Marshal on alert.

Re: Anyone Up for Some Chocobo Racing?

Where did you hear about this maximul number of people at the chocobo arena? And I am wondering if there will be a "ncp fake" crowd or spectators or if we will be able to go and see the race.

Something that just came to my mind, I hate to bring it up but the thought just stroke y head. This chocobo thing sounds interesting but.... lets face it... speed hack! How will SE prevent this? If this is possible this event will do down hill before you can say "on your marks"

If you're speedhacking in the Chocobo race, it would be pretty damn obvious.

Then again, the only reason that you can speed hack, is because all player movement is client-side... but when you're siting on these Chocobos, and they have stats that would be determined server-side, I'm assuming they could make it so that you can't control your movement client-side while you're on them or something... maybe.

Max Occupied Space comment was a joke.

I apologize for being facetious.

They released screenshots of the Chocobo rasing awhile ago.

Re: Anyone Up for Some Chocobo Racing?

Why would they need to prevent it?

Just make it use a Runic Portal system, and add Portals in the other four cities.



Like a "Choco Warp" or something, costs Gil/IS/CP/Choco Points or something to get through.

Re: Anyone Up for Some Chocobo Racing?

im supper excited for this. My opinon on the getting from place to place will have to do with the golowing pad viewable in the pictures on the choco-circuit thread(not sure the link). I belive to couter the traffic there will be some sort of racing licence quest. or mabye if there is a lvling system for you chcocbo there will be a min lvl cap for the races/licence.
