Road Degredation

Postby Skandrannon » Tue May 15, 2007 12:44 am

Nothing tool fancy to suggest here, I was just thinking that as people improve road more and more, they will eventually get to a point where every single road in Cantr is an expressway. I was just thinking of adding a feature to roads that make them degrade slowly over time. Or perhaps you could add those prefixes to road like "Brand New" or "Used"

i believe at this time the userbase is too small to be able to mantain the roads unless they degraded at an unbelievably slow rate, and then the degredation would just be ignored.

Especially in isolated areas. If we started losing the sand roads down to paths, many vehicles would be trapped. Thats no good.

It would be cool to see. It would need to be VERY slow though, so as not to become a burden. There are many towns that could stand to have a few buildings and unused paths slip down the quality chain. Some characters need something productive to work on.

I like, but only if linked to usage and, if implemented, weather. And, as said already, very slow...

Improving every single road in Cantr to expressways takes such an enormous amount of time that even when the Cantr population doubles in size or multiplies tenfold it would still take real life centuries to upgrade them all.

Very cool, i like the idea :lol: ..and racteyme many vehicles is not very likely to happen but it could, that's very lifelike no? It's highly unlikely something goes wrong but possible, and provided your char spends a lot of time it can be resolved. Time you don't 'have' but hey, you're still alive. Even with roaddegradation cantr-travelling would be lots more reliable than in real life.

PARENT WARNING some harsh language may be used







Road degradation is just more shit for all to deal with that is not needed.
I do not care who think what or why what I say.


Why do people want to find a way to fuck everyone and everything?

first off : Skandrannon you have no idea how things work on Cantr yet. Play a good bit longer first. (name too long I will call you Shand)

Zanthos : I agree 100%. Players and characters going by the day.
Too few to do the work.

wichita: Agree so as log as it takes 300 games year useage to degrade enough to take one day to repair degradation.

Frits : sorry to bust your Cantr bubble, but in real life there are far more alternate routes. In Cantr not so many.

There are far too many that want Cantr to be a modern spaceage rocket, gun shooting game. If you want that go play some fucking Unreal 2004 or what ever the hell that shit is you want to play.

I only joined this game because I thought at the time it was a slow, not a (we will fuck you over) game.

Jos. Do you want to know why players are leaving? That is why.

Jos you have lost your way. You have left your Cantr team loss their way. Bring back the charm of Cantr or let it die.
Hate to be blunt, but fuck it. I have to say what I see.

Jos I know time is a big problem in the real world. Just remember those towns before you decided to make them digital. Just remember when you started it all from the very BEGINING. Just remember how you had seen it when you were young.

I love Cantr...
Jos if you can not keep the longer playing Cantrians... why bother?

Perhaps I should drink a few if you can not understand those you talk when not drinking or smoking.

Let me make this real clear.
Not a drop in me. Nor am I under the influence of illegal or legal substances.

I only see Cantr taking a giant shit dive. Quit adding to the game and fix what is broke.
They know what is broke.
Why is Cantr server upgutting right now?
