Time Ghost

[LucasNog]

*In English*

I would suggest that the ghost mode has a longer time limit to stop.

This afternoon I stopped during a trip towards Calais, I had an accident, which damaged the truck and I couldn't continue. It would have to load an autosave.

Due to the annoyance I closed the game and decided to come back later, load the autosave and continue the journey.

I went to try to load the game now. I made 3 attempts, in 3 autosaves at different times/locations and all the roads had players. I believe some were players off the road after my game loaded.

In one of these attempts I tried to go to the shoulder but I believe there was not enough time to leave the track without harming the other players.

I would like to request a change in the ghost time when there are many players nearby so that we have enough time to leave the track and go to the shoulder and only then enter the road.

Gostaria de sugerir que o modo fantasmas tivesse um maior limite de tempo para ser parado.

Hoje a tarde parei durante uma viagem sentido Calais sofri um acidente, que danificou o caminhão e não daria pra eu prosseguir. Teria que carregar um autosave.

Pelo aborrecimento fechei o jogo e decidi voltar mais tarde, carregar o autosave e continuar a viagem.

Fui tentar carregar o jogo agora. Fiz 3 tentativas, em 3 autosave de horários/locais diferentes e em todos a estrada tinha players. Acredito que alguns foram jogadores para fora da estrada após meu jogo carregar.

Em uma dessas tentativas tentei ir para o acostamento mas acredito que também não deu tempo sair da pista sem prejudicar os outros jogadores.

Gostaria de solicitar uma alteração no tempo do ghost quando há muitos jogadores perto para que a gente tenha tempo suficiente para sair da pista e ir para o acostamento e só depois entrar na estrada.

When there are many players nearby, it leaves a timer with a time of about 90 or more seconds so that we can do something before loading.
Some computers are not so powerful and sometimes they don't even load the game and cause accidents to others.
Happened to me today. While the game was loading for me, for the others it was already being thrown into limbo.
And a warning on the screen:
"Ghost mode active.
You are in a high traffic area.
Go off the road"

 

*Português BR*

Quando houver muitos jogadores proximos deixa um cronometro com um tempo de uns 90 ou mais segundos para que a gente possa fazer algo antes de carregar.
Alguns computadores não são tão potentes e as vezes nem chegam a carregar o jogo e já causam acidentes aos outros.
Aconteceu comigo hoje. Enquanto jogo carregava pra mim, para os outros já estavam era sendo jogados pro limbo.
E um aviso na tela:
"Modo fantasma ativo.
Você está em uma área de grande fluxo.
Vá para fora da estrada"

I suggest not using auto save to continue driving when there are many people. It is best to use f7+enter. I usually use f7+enter directly to avoid traffic accidents

[LucasNog]

English

 

Your suggestion is valid but does not apply to some cases. I was on a trip from Heilsink to Lille, with a double trailer. F7 would take me to the original garage, wouldn't it? I was less than 30% away from finalizing the delivery. So, according to that thought, would I lose the progress I had already made and have to start all over again?

 

Português BR

 

Sua sugestão é valida mas não se aplica a alguns casos. Eu estava em uma viagem de Heilsink para Lille, com um reboque duplo. F7 me levaria para a garagem de origem, não? Eu estava a menos 30% de distância para finalizar a entrega. Então, segundo essa pensamento, eu perderia o progresso que já tinha feito e teria que recomeçar tudo?

Never load an autosave. I've seen too many players appear in ghost mode and i have to react/adjust my driving, just to avoid hitting them or being falsely reported because they didn't want to load in a city. Especially on CD, the road is NEVER clear to safely load in.

 

By the way, you can use /fix every 500 seconds. I always save mine for when heavy damage is caused. And if i can't move, i F7 out of the way.

 

See my sig? The very first message about new suggestions.

What you could do is do /disconnect in chat which will (obviously) disconnect you from the server, to which then you can move around freely and have more time to park somewhere more safe for you and other players when you choose to rejoin the server (via launchpad.)

So it would be better to have a timer warning that the ghost will end in X seconds. About the FIX, in many accidents it is not possible to use it. The truck/trailer is stuck to the ground, is crooked or on top of the road guard/guard rails.

 

Português BR

Por isso seria melhor um cronômetro/temporizador avisando que o ghost vai acabar em X segundos. Sobre o FIX, em muitos acidentes não dá pra utilizar. O caminhão/trailer fica preso ao chão, fica todo torto ou em cima da proteção da estrada/guard Rails.

I understood. It is an acceptable suggestion. I didn't know this command /disconnect Even so, there are times when the game takes a long time on the loading screen and when it opens the ghost is already at the end or it's over, so the damage has already been done. I again suggest the option of time/flow warning and guidance to exit the road. The game can detect this. You are logging on top of another player. While superimposed on another player the ghost remains active. It won't harm anyone and you get safely back on the road when possible.

 

 

Português BR

Entendi. É uma sugestão aceitável. Eu desconhecia esse comando /disconnect

Ainda assim, tem momentos que jogo demora na tela de carregamento e quando abre o ghost já está no fim ou já acabou, daí o estrago já foi feito. Volto a sugerir a opção de tempo/aviso de fluxo e orientação para sair da estrada. O jogo pode detectar isso. Você tá logando em cima de outro jogador. Enquanto estiver sobreposto em outro jogador o ghost permanece ativo. Não vai prejudicar ninguém e você volta em segurança para a estrada quando for possivel.

The best solution is never load an Autosave! And before you log off, make sure you are parked somewhere safe away from traffic so next time you load up the game, it doesn’t matter how long it takes because you will not be in anyone’s way. 
 As mentioned there is also /Disconnect 

 

alternatively, if your computer is that slow loading up, maybe you should also consider not driving busy areas like C-D

 Como mencionado, há também /Disconnect 

 

alternativamente, se o seu computador estiver com o carregamento lento, talvez você também deva considerar não dirigir em áreas movimentadas como CD

I understood your point perfectly, however there are times when autosave needs to be used, as was my case. A Skoda collided with my vehicle and left it all damaged. My options were: load an autosave, F7 and go back to Helsinki or cancel the job. /fix wouldn't help me as I got stuck on guard rails.

 

Regarding loading time, it's not my computer that is slow. It really is the game that sometimes takes some time to process the screen.

 

Finally, I suggest again: Why not use this system that I suggested?

Time ghost + warning + keep ghost active while overlapping another player. It would prevent many accidents that occur for this reason.

Entendi perfeitamente sua colocação, no entanto há momentos que o autosave precisa ser utilizado, como foi o meu caso. Um Skoda colidiu no meu veículo e deixou ele todo danificado. As minhas opções eram: carregar um autosave, F7 e voltar pra Helsink ou cancelar o trabalho. O /fix não me ajudaria pois fiquei preso no guard rails.

 

A respeito do tempo de carregamento nao é meu computador que é lento. Realmente é o jogo que as vezes demora algum tempo pra processar a tela.

 

Por fim, volto a sugerir: Porque não utilizar esse sistema que sugeri?

 

Time ghost + aviso + manter o ghost ativo enquanto houver sobreposição em outro jogador.

 

Iria evitar muitos acidentes que ocorrem por esse motivo.

About exit safely, yes, I always do that when I need to exit the game. I go off track, save the game and close. The situation I mentioned is different. I was involved in an accident and there was no savegame as I made the trip non-stop. I loaded autosaves with time difference. 5 minutes, 8 minutes, 12 minutes and all had heavy flow. Anyway, I missed the delivery because, hoping to load the game at a point with weak flow and go off the road, one of the autosaves I loaded directed me to the Heilsink SAL.

 

 

Português BR

Sobre a saída em segurança, sim, sempre faço isso quando eu preciso sair do jogo. Vou para fora da pista, salvo o jogo e fecho.

A situação que eu citei é outra. Eu me envolvi em um acidente e não havia savegame pois eu fiz a viagem sem fazer paradas.

Carreguei autosaves com diferença de tempo. 5 minutos, 8 minutos, 12 minutos e em todos havia fluxo pesado. Enfim, perdi a entrega pois, na esperança de carregar o jogo em um ponto com fluxo fraco e ir pra fora da estrada, um dos autosave que carreguei me direcionou para a SAL de Heilsink.

Unfortunately, that is the risk you take by playing on TMP. I personally don’t feel like extended ghost time is going to work, it will just lead to more people loading up an autosave, driving while in Autosave and be Carnage when everybody comes out of ghost mode.

Regarding your post. There is no need to load an autosave. Just F7 to the repair station. You won't be in the road, in ghost mode, or stuck on scenery.

 

Let me ask you this, why do you feel the need to load an autosave? Besides the skoda crashing into you, what warrants you to load an autosave instead of F7.

 

If the game takes that long to load, consider turning your settings down some.
