spaceelf Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 It's available now, you can download it off their site. I don't have the greatest connection in the world so it annoys me that joining a race automatically means 8 players. Half the time I can't load the races, and I have absolutely no idea if its my connection or someone elses. This is a really poor design for something you're expecting people to pay for. So I think I've pretty much given up on this game, except for the occasional cop chase deal until November when Criterions NFS comes.

djdanster Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 So let me get this straight. The game it self is free to download, but the extra's eg. boosts, you have to pay for?

spaceelf Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 No, you get plenty of those during gameplay. There's just a level/area cap on what you can unlock if you don't get the starter pack.

Is the cap daily use, or for all time? trying it.. :) I was playing it from the early private beta testing right up to the public beta. It was my original understanding that EA were going to charge to play so I stopped playing it. I suppose I will have to give it another go!

Swerz Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Downloading now. Let's hope it's not a complete waste of time. Cause I can see this being a good concept, let's just hope they put it into practice well enough to make something of it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/884236-need-for-speed-world/page/4/#findComment-592972602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajua Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Is it really free? Are there any crippled features other than powerups or levels? I read the official website but I couldn't any info about this. Meanwhile, I will download it to try it and see if it is any good.

YounGMessiah Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Anyone know why I cant chat? I type my message and push enter a trillion times and it wont send my message through; whether its whisper or group or whatever.. Am I missing something?

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 30, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 30, 2010 So I checked this out late last night, I was in the Beta at one point but really only checked it out a few minutes then forgot about it, but I have to say I like it, but my biggest question is... Do I really only have those 4 events to choose from and the stadium to show off? Is that the "catch" of the Beta? Or am I missing something? It says so far I have won 3 races, so I guess I need to do one of them, so will that open up more? Also is there a way to see if you already did an event, as I know the events I did already do are still available for me to choose, and I placed 1st in all of them, or can you just keep doing them over and over? I also initiated a pursuit and did one of those real quick, got out of it real easy. I have to say though, I kind of like it, it is more along the lines of the older NFS games, which I always really liked. I am hoping there is a bit more, but if not, I may actually spend the $20 on the starter kit if it provides a decent amount of gameplay. It says the starter kit is available until December, so I will wait to see how that pans out and what people say about it's value. But I do kind of like it. @ YoungG - I have not tried to chat at all yet, next time I am on I will try to see if I can.

cropcircles Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Seems to be a trend seeing Tiger Woods PGA TOUR? Online and The Hunter http://www.thehunter.com/pub/ where you have to pay for upgrades. Web browser based games seems weird to me. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/884236-need-for-speed-world/page/4/#findComment-592974440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 31, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2010 Anyone figure out whats going on with the chat lol? Its not that important, but I have a couple buds on there that I cant type to.. Just checked it out, and it works no problem for me. But I do have a possible solution why. Out of habit, I just run everything as an Administrator, so are you trying that? Right Clicking the icon and choose "Run As Administrator." I would not be surprised at all if that fixes it, as almost anytime I have any issues with a game, running as an Administrator fixes it, so that is why I just do it all the time right now. Let me know, but chat definitely worked on my end. Also, it is indeed a bit buggy, lots of objects just popping up out of nowhere is the biggest issue I have.
