JustHatched 12,103 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 My goal is to get a race R* verified, but it would seem to be a popularity contest over quality. I won't say I have made great races but I think most are pretty good. SO my question is to everyone is what do you consider to be a good race? Easy to run or technical? Jumps? Long or short? ect...... Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Dodge 7,248 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think everything you mentioned is important. But most of all it has to be FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yeah I agree with dodge fun is key and also variety. I like a few surprises, tricky corners, jumps, obstacles and basically whatever comes my way. Some are incredibly boring, eg: 'Jumps, jumps, jumps' and another with a spelling error 'alot of money to race' Those straight line freeway, no traffic races just don't do it for me, it's not much of a challenge and it can kinda force people into ramming due to it being your only overtaking chance. At least with a technical track, skill will show through (fingers crossed) A good sign is if people are laughing then its usually a good race. I enjoyed the one dodge made and It's much improved without the cameras, that narrow alley is awesome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Seems as though the easier the race, the more people will give it a like. I've noticed, not many like a race which they suck at. It's easier to blame the track or the creator rather than accept you were not good enough. @JustHatched your races which I've tried are good, a lot of effort has gone into creating them, clearly.

BustyRose 107 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I love the races Hatch has created. I like all the different kinds, some are really silly but you know we are having fun by all the laughing going on. Who would have thought that a lawn mower could be fun? And I really think my tractor is sexy. Try all of the different ones and see just how much fun it can be. I like the super car but to me it is boring to do just those all the time. (Besides my driving sucks and this is the only time I have a chance to win one). lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think RSC stats for the number of thumbs up all my stuff combined is a bit off cuz it says I have over 3 million thumbs up. DIdn't realize my stuff was that popular Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

G-Town.Rebell 20 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Whats the name of the race you want to get verified ? It should help when you add this race to every playlist. I think you´ll need minimum 70% likes and many many votes/runs.Someone told me that everyone on facebook is conected with everyone on the world over seven corners, when .... missing english words. In easy words, get 10 guys who play it minimum once a day, they will find guys and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge 7,248 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I believe DC89 was running Scouring the Projects today. That may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handcuff_charlie 801 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) new verified jobs out, more questions about how jobs get selected persist. Strange played/like numbers.

revbouncer 1,431 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 He must have paid R* to get that verified. Money talks. Quote Rev's Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revbouncer 1,431 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This job actually has 15000 likes Quote Rev's Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handcuff_charlie 801 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Its totally screwy, I should know better than to trust anything on that half-assed RSC page. Half the new R*V jobs show less than 20 plays then others show 10,15, 20k plays, some show the creator name others just show R*V logos. I have seen my own creations actually lose play #'s and I did not republish/update them. Regardless the guy from the big racing crew, whose name I forget, claimed that he knew 1st hand that a race created by a crewmate or friend that was verified had less than 100 plays. So i am thinking there is no automatic trigger to become a candidate, you just have to get lucky....or it could be both, they just randomly pick some and try them out and also query the database for the next 2,4, 6, 10 most popular maps by likes/plays or whatever and then choose.

How prophetic. Pier Pressure II had 230 "plays", maybe half as many "likes", and IIRC was only promoted on one thread I started around February on GTAF along with a dozen or so of my other creations back when I only had made about 18-20 creations. It certainly appears there is a lot of right-place-right-time/luck involved in getting a chance to be considered for R* verification. 3 Quote "handcuff, should I join XDBX?"
