Question about NROS & TEN

by Ligwo » Wed, 26 Mar 1997 04:00:00

I just read the article in the interaction magazine and it
raises a couple of questions.

Is NROS already taking place now or is it in the process of being
put together?

What is TEN (Total Entertainment Network) and where do I get
more information?

Question about NROS & TEN

Just wondering....

Will the skill level system on TEN be any different than it is on
Hawaii??  

Will the NROS Realistic Divisions be separated by Skill level only?
Will Laps Per Incident be a factor?   What about laps led?  

Also will track diversity be a factor, or will "one trackers" be
rewarded as equally as those who put effort/time into
each track?  

Lastly should a 5% race count as equally as a 50% race?  Its
easier to run 10 5% races and rack up a high skill level,
but running the longer runs requires pit strategy, tire management,
and consistancy....Which I am hoping is what the NROS will be
all about.

Thanks

In the latest Issue from Sierra doing their propaganda spiel, they had
some good info on NROS. A lot more then I've gathered perusing here
for months.

Bottom line is the NROS division will be different then regular
divisions <assuming Papyrus/TEN allows other leagues. That hasn't been
mentioned yet. They may not allow them>.

Skill updates will be similar to Hawaii. You'll be moved up or down
based on your driving performance, and whether you***Ed Martin off
<This I mean by cheating, or whatever>.

Races will most likely be judged by Incidents and finishing Position.
Similar to Hawaii. Race distance will likely not play a part.

This is my personal conjecture based on what I've seen.
The people who know this are keeping it under wraps.

       I disagree on this one.  Even though it is true that there is
some difference in the two sims, the online experience that is
gained from racing other human drivers is the relevant point here,
I think.  Many of us have spent *alot* of money beta testing on
Hawaii.  And yes, it's true that Papy/Sierra didn't receive profits
from this venture, but the money was spent all the same.  I think
you can agree Julian, there is a major difference getting used
to competing against predictable A/I and unpredictable human
opponents.
       Just my 2 cents worth.  :)
