Title: Yay Destruction Derby =D
Post by: [NP]Monte Montague on July 30, 2011, 09:01:44 am
No not really.  :neutral:

Am I the only person who thinks there are far too many Destruction derby's and they are not being carried out as great as they could be?

When I think of destruction derby's I think of old rusty cars and rusty 4 by 4's, with rednecks in them.

Is there any DD where as people role-play it as a proper good old country destruction derby and not just this exciting "ROOF DD!!!" "TANK DD!!" "Skate-Park DD" "You haz received a ticket for destruction derby arena".

I really stopped taking interest in DD's like in my 5th on Argonath, is my point clear enough??  :trust:
What do you say?

I think they're pretty boring to be honest.

DD's are awfully boring. One of the reason is cars are restricted to the same smallest category.

Also because people join for the z0mg 1000k prizes that are always offered, so they don't ram and just move like worms on a dead cat in the over-filled arena.

I like DD's even when I lose, quit moaning about them. :)

Attended one with Corey, we won. I still don't like it, everyone sees it different though.

I can't say Destruction Derbys are boring, some are some are not. I like the unique ones, like maybe underwater.

Though some have the ability to cheat in events and win and get away with it just because they are money hungry. That I do not like.

Well yes, most join for the prizes and end up not ramming one and another.

A destruction derby with no destruction, yeah!  :rockstar:

Solution? Change the way the DD is made  Instead of making it a last car standing match, make it a first car blown match.
However people should not ram into stadium walls or such. They can only lose HP by ramming into each other.

Also called contra DD.  :D

Actually you people should think out completely different events, rather than just making a DD "with mods". That's still a DD, thus it's still same old boring shit.

Lol, only one rule would be needed: RAM!

Naw there were 2 other rules

1) Golf karts & go-karts are not allowed for obvious vehicle-health related reasons.
2) For a person to win his vehicle must burn when it is on all 4 wheels. If his vehicle is overturned, he is disqualified.

Ohai I forgot about this thread.

But yea, DD's are still incredibly boring...


I'd not mind if they stopped calling them events and just "Crazy Cutt3rs Car Crush-a-thon" and such.
Like Red Bull X Fighters... They don't call it "Bike Stunting".

@ Mikal, you would only understand if you have seen almost for a year a DD at-least twice a day everyday with minimal creativity and lack of organization.

I'm online everyday, I only see like 1 DD every week and a half and I usualy win or come 2nd-3rd.. I'm guess you just don't like DD's because your not good at them.

"Crazy Cutt3rs Car Crush-a-thon"


Love that name, 20,000 points for you!

On a serious note, if you dont like DD's think of some events. For example, head down to Ocean docks, to the bridge connecting the docks to the mainland. Getn an NRG and ask people to corss from one end to the oter on the bridge railing(not through the road ofc!) in under 10 seconds flat. They should not use the acceleration to fly across to the other side. They must be on the railing till they reach the other side. If they fallinto the water they are out!

Or organise a death race in the ocean under the watchful eyes of admins - how it works(I just thought of this of the top of my head, it will have its faults):


Aim of the event - to win the race(doh!)

1) 2 people on one boat - any boat of their choice
2) One guy drives the boat, the other has a gun of his choice
3) The gunner can shoot the other boats's gunners down. If he shoots the sailor down that gunner and his boat are disqualified.
4) Last gunner and sailor to stay alive wins
5) The race will be held in a limited area of water - say the water hole near Back o Beyond.
5) Race is from point A to B, say from LS docks to SF Docks
6) The hoster of the event will /cbalert times when shooting can be done, say "/cbalert Shoot!" and then, and only then, can gunners shoot each other. When the hoster says "/cbalert Stop Shooting!" the shooting MUST be stopped or the respective players who dont stop shooting are disqualified.
7) The hoster can say Shoot and stop shooting within about 10 seconds, that is, the shooting can happen for a total of 10 seconds, after which he can say "Stop shooting!". Then at another point, he can say "Shoot" again. The 'Cascades of Carcasses'(just a fancy name for those shooting zones) can be decided by the hoster and will not be known to the gunners until announced.


You guys can come up with better ideas, just look around the map and use your imagination  :)
