Being rich has its perks I guess but think it would be more fun to earn upgrades over time. Unless this is just a temporary beta testing thing @flyinghead?

I tend to agree with this view point. Maybe we could take a poll on what the starting cash should be. With 4 million you can buy every upgrade immediately. Its similar to Grand Turismo 7 where you have to race to earn credits by racing. I'd say maybe 500k would be a decent start but that's just my two cents.

I agree that $4,000,000 is too much. It's useful during the test phase but it's very far from the $10K of the original game. $500K seems like a good compromise given there will be less active players than back then, but I like the idea of a poll.

a vote sounds like a good idea, i am just concerned that i am going to get stuck with the shitty class D cars for the next couple years in that game, considering that i mostly get 2 player races working were you earn very littly money and maybe loose money depending on how much damage your car takes.

Maybe we could up the reward amounts to help boost progress. That way everyone casual and non casual can earn some good money. I'm also not too great a racing games so this would help me progress some haha

Somebody come race with me! I got a lobby going! I wanna try this!

I'm 1st on money and driving points actually but I think original experience is always the best way.
Phantasy Star Online you need to play hard for years.
Why should Speed Devil's be different?

I think server would be reset and start money be the same than original ($10k) and same to prizes.

Maybe keep a mention on Lobby painel with beta tester nicknames would be better than give money in game.
I think everyone have same money, same experience than original will be great.
Just my opinion and the majority of players on Brazilian community.

Maybe flyinghead can create a GameDay or gamenight with doubled experience to help get more driving points and more players join together.

Peace

i se the point but in the original days there were probably hundreds of people playing each day. These days i can if i get lucky and find the time and people play that game maybe 2 times a month. I really don´t want to spent the next 10 years grinding and getting somewhere last place everytime by not being able to afford upgrades.

Yeah I agree with both Holsten and Xiden's positions. While I don't think the starting amount should be maxed out as it is now, the reality is that not a lot of people are going to be playing this online and they aren't going to be doing so very often. Setting it to the original value would be authentic, but that amount was decided when thousands of players were anticipated to regularly be online. Keen to see a vote for a starting amount.

For those having trouble to connect; my DreamPi was working perfectly (Alien Front Online, Chu Chu, Browser etc) but couldn't connect to Speed Devils Online.

The problem? An ancient DreamPi installation. After reinstalling my DreamPi with the latest DreamPi 1.9 DLE Speed Devils Online works flawlessly

Yeh the only grinding chance will be the monthly/every other monthly game night

I get it in when official was booming but today why be better than anyone I vote equal access, limitless
