Close the vehicle suggestion category

[Stormlend]

Following the recent topic of @ira_nomas , I think we should think about closing this category, and they summarize perfectly why:

@ira_nomas

When suggesting cars, people have their own standard. Like adding stats, blueprints, etc. However, some of them ended up being low-effort, nonsensical suggestions that’s don’t any chances to get added into the game.

@ira_nomas

After suggesting over 1K suggestions, I slowly to realize how difficult for devlopers to pick a car to add into the game since some of my suggestions had little to no infomation on the Internet.

@ThePeach_PieHQ

annoying how people will spam suggestions of stuff that won’t get added because it fills the category so much that devs will never even have a chance to see any of the cars people actually want in the game, and I think that that takes away from the likes of others.

Finally, I would just add that almost every interesting vehicle to add to the game has already been suggested, so it wouldn’t have a big impact if the category closed.

yeah no this is not a good solution
also my thing about “NPC posts” was completely unrelated and shouldn’t be quoted here, it’s heavily taken out of context

[euph]

yewnos would disagree
he still finds interesting stuff every now and then so why would you wanna take that away from him

[Stormlend]

I had to go and I made my post at the last minute so I barely had time to re-read myself. Idk how the quote ended up there
Sorry about that

this is absolutely not true at all, people still find hidden gems scattered around

also, if you close the vehicle suggestions category, they would just spill into the normal CC2 suggestions category, so this wouldn’t work at all even if it was done

the shit that clogged up the vehicle suggestions was a result of outdated and lacking guidelines to keep the whole category in check, there’s hardly any reason for people to suggest joke vehicles at this point because you have to suggest something that you really want to see ingame

[Totemoyoi]

He has a good point. But is it really a problem of many people doing that, or maybe its just one bad apple in the basket?

Also, the only person checking forums is Panwellz, and oh boy he manages to find some 3 years old suggestions with no categories

[Totemoyoi]

Perhaps, a better solution would be making the limit 5 suggestions per day, as there is no reason to suggest more than that

[euph]

there is a cooldown
i have to wait 4-5 hours to suggest again after x amount with an additional 2-3 hours
then i wait about 15 hours to suggest again after hitting the daily limit
be happy i cant suggest 20 vehicles within 5 minutes or whatever

[Cosmoxide]

I’ve brought that up with some other people, but unfortunately you can’t change the limit to how many suggestions you can make in a single day without affecting everything else, which makes it something that isn’t feasible

[Totemoyoi]

Another way is to put it in rules, to prevent that issue in future

[Cosmoxide]

the issue with putting it in the rules is that because it’s not bound to a physical limit, there’s somebody out there that’s gonna try to bypass that limit because they can inherently do so with the tools on this forum, which makes dealing with that sort of thing a lot harder to work with than what we currently have

I’m not against the idea of it, it’s just that it’s a lot harder to uphold, and we could be catching random stray people who aren’t aware of it

[Totemoyoi]

Only solution would be to try and talk it out with Kaylee, but I dont think she cares

[Yewnos_100]

old concepts, tuner demo cars and sometimes even mainstream cars - like I was really surprised when the st165 celica wasn’t suggested
sometimes you have to dig deeper, sometimes you don’t

[euph]

yea true
ive found a plethora of hidden gems myself earlier today that even im surprised havent been suggested

[Totemoyoi]

and issue with tuner cars that pan isn’t interested in them at all (and there’s very few contribs who could make one with a cool bodykit)

I’m a bit late to this conversation but everyone here heavily doubt this would happen tbh. There are still a lot of hidden / obscure vehicles everyone can find to suggest.

[JerryAxel]

ye like that aston martin special series i pulled out from the shelf

[Alanzcool]

i’m still shocked he was interested enough to make the garage mak s15, lbwk r35, and the 2 rocket bunnies

[Totemoyoi]

All these are ugly overrated kits, I was talking about ones with style
