Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

Oh lol I forgot to do that

 

when using your owned vehicle and you destroy your radiator or engine gets damaged, than you reset the challenge you were doing it doesn't repair those components, while the rest of the car gets repaired (i assume this happens on every challenge, i encountered it in the movie studio police escape)

 

Just a little observation on mission system:

Mission and Jobs are unpaid when they done with a personal car, but in this case they should pay more imo.
When you use your own car, you risk damage of your car, so i'ts more risky.
Same for transport missions when you use your own tow car, job giver won't have to rent a car for you.

With tat in mind, is this possible to implement a cash bonus when you do missions with your own car?


On other side, I thinks is already planned for sure, but I really hope to see oil and tire consumption in near future

 

I don't quite grasp this system where you have your own cars that you upgrade and maintain, but the missions are done with provided vehicles (at least the first time around). Are my cars mostly just for driving from mission to mission?
Perhaps a difficulty system would make the most sense.
Easy:
You get the provided vehicle
Medium:
You always use your own vehicles, sometimes with limits like "must be a Covet", "must be capable of transporting a couch", etc. Obviously it'd be easier if your version is higher performance, but at least it means you have to spend money on building various vehicles for different purposes.
Hard:
Same, but damage is permanent, unless the goal is to trash the car anyway

 

Yes, and then for using as replacements for the cars you normally use in the missions - for better results

 

My opinion, what we have now - it's a failed concept, just a set of missions not connected with each other, will be suitable only for beginners who do not know how or do not want to build their car for a particular task. Career in my understanding is quite different, for example, as in "diablo2" you complete missions, gain experience, pump up the character and get the opportunity to perform more complex tasks, and here it is applicable if you replace the words "character" to "car", "experience" to "money", + add an economic component, buying -> transportation -> selling cargo and much more in the same direction, and then the career mode can be played for weeks, just look at the success:

 

Okay, I just tried it today. Not only is the 200BX completely missing, my Crown Vic and Bruckell Landscaper are also gone. However, I they still take up inventory slots. Luckily, for the time being, I have found an exploit to get free cars that I don't own(just use Breb's Random Vehicle Selector).

EDIT: It appears that it has changed my entire vehicle collection into part form, so I have to build it from the ground up every time I play. :/

EDIT 2: It isn't the entire car, just certain parts

 

Right now I see missions in career mode just as side mission to earn cash, points and in my opinion there shouldn't be option to use our car in these. Why? Because there should be main missions that require using ours cars that will progress... progress. Some of them might unlock something new for us to use or buy and upon finishing all of them we will go to the next map.

So for example. WCUSA could be a "tutorial" map where we would do every type of missions like legal and illegal races, offroad, rally, chases and escapes etc. After completing all main mission we could move to another map where each should have own theme like for example Utah would focus on offroading and rallying, ECUSA on street racing etc.

Doing only mission what we have in freeroam but with extra steps is kinda... meh? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Thank you devs! I just saw it's finally here

 

...It turns out that career mode is only needed to show everyone how versatile the game is? Providing cars for each mission... what is the point of going through these missions with your own car? for the sake of extra points and bonuses?) sounds absurd.

I take it you want to target casual players? How about a social poll? Are you sure your audience wants this kind of career mode?


I really hope you won't be disappointed when you spend so much time and effort on the development, and in return you'll hear from us that it's not what we expected from you for so long.


I hope that I am wrong in my fears, and that you will be able to please us.

 

Damn, Legran Tax is real!

Oh where was I, oh yeah. the preview to Career has been fun to mess around with, still wondering when there will be an option to paint your car.

 

I think there's no point in having the one star requirement, I find it annoying that I have to beat the mission before I get to do it the way I want to. I think it would be better to put up a little warning message to make sure the player understands that there may be potential issues instead.
Also, a third, high-risk-high-reward version with your own vehicle + permadamage would be great. Let the player up the stakes!

 

I understand that you want to please all players, but alas this model is suitable only for "Player Type 1", although I think that they will get bored after a few sessions, the problem is that with this concept there is no global challenge for the player, personally I will not build a car to pass the "career" because I know that you can do without it, it seems that further will have to come up with their own entertainment, I have a negative attitude to the use of any other cars other than their own in the "career..", The only place where it can be justified - some individual missions for example, for a policeman, where you are given a company car "explained by the game scenario»), and the rest of the missions you perform on your own car in off-hours).

In order not to hit in the mud I advise you to really create a social poll with voting on this and other controversial topics, perhaps it will help to understand what most of the "first type of players and the second" want.

I very often encounter people who have the same position as me, and not once have I heard any arguments against it.

 

I’m kind of wondering why Player Type 1 is even considered as target audience for Career mode. Seems like they can just stick to "Quick Play" or the existing Campaigns, as they’re obviously more into quick engagement rather than building in the long-term.

Tbh, this whole discussion has me a bit concerned, because this reminds me of what happened with Spore - they simplified the game to appeal to casual gamers and we all saw how it went :/ Of course this is a personal preference, but I always thought that BeamNG would have a Rogue-like career where any mistake could set you back big time (similar to SLRR), but now, I’m getting the vibe it might lean towards something more casual like Forza Horizon, except with realistic car mechanics.

 

You read my mind) I'm not sure there are "type 1 players" at all unless they are 7-12 years old

 

Hi, I generally have less hours of gaming per week than there are days in a week, and I am 30.

Most of us adults have responsibilities.

 

I wasn't referring to the amount of free time to play games, but the desire to play a simplified career mode for casual players! Are you one of those? Then you may consider yourself "type one players".
