Talk:Need for Speed: World

Wii?

Has this game been official announced for the Wii platform, as the article states? I follow a lot of Nintendo news and I haven't heard of this, and after a quick scout around the internet I can't seem to determine whether or not World Online is coming to the Wii. We need to reference this information.--LostOverThere (talk) 08:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Not free anymore !

This game is not free2play anymore and you have to purchase it WikiBahal (talk) 15:17, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

It seems as though you're one of the "Electronic Arts isn't doing enough" people. The game is free to play until level 10. After that, while you can still play it, the game won't progress further until you pay to get the starter kit. You can play the game until kingdom come without paying.

World is free2play now, see article. Loonybin0 18:15, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Errors

Hey guys,

A couple things about World are incorrect here. First, there is no co-op play currently in the game or planned. Secondly, players are not able to play as police in the game. Also, World is Free-to-play. These need to be removed. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NFSKirk (talk • contribs) 22:34, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Can't you remove the errors yourself? You're free to edit the content . I don't know anything about this game, so I'm not going to modify the article's contents.  Davtra  ^(talk) 02:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Car List Layout

Whoever last edited the car list from being a single column to three did a pretty good job, but if I might make a few suggestions:

1) Instead of marking some vehicles as "(previously) only available as a free gift", include EA's own catchphrase "Top-Up". Perhaps something like,

^b (previously) only available as a free gift from 'Top-Up'^*

^c only available as a free gift from 'Top-Up'^*

...

^* When a player makes a purchase of 17500 or 8000 SpeedBoost.

2) I guess just generally a little more detail: cars that can be purchased for in-game cash (IGC) only, cars with police versions without lights, cars from special events like Rose and the Beast from Valentine's day, other art director cars, promotional/unique cars like the A1 Clubsport and the Team NFS Z4 GT3, classic cars vs current cars maybe. These are things I will work on when I have the chance, but would appreciate some help. I'd like this to be a handy reference for players. Thanks.

Currencies

I am also thinking about a section detailing the difference between in-game cash and speedboost, and how it will soon be switched to EA's new universal f2p currency (announced on World's website 10/14/2011).

Last paragraph removed

It read:

EA have released patches for World, failing to mention to users what is being download automatically onto their systems without authorisation or confirmation. The latest patches have had no affect to World. EA need to pull their finger out if they want World to be as successful like the previous Need for Speeds (Most Wanted and Carbon)

Horribly written, and completely biased.

Warning

There should be warning that (as of january 2011) this game has very serious bugs that prevent people to fully enjoy it. These bugs include out of sync cars during races - sometimes even 2-3 seconds difference. (Some cars start seconds before others, some cars suddenly "jump" before others during race, sometimes you finish race just to see several other people finish after you with better time than you, etc.)

There are many reports of different crashes of this game. This game should be considered a free game and compared to free games. It is not done so properly as other new commercial titles.

I cannot edit this page to add it by myself, so I'm writing on talk page.

Unfortunately, unless commented on by reliable sources, bugs aren't a notable occurrence. Thanks! Fin©™ 14:58, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

then at least acknowledge that there were major changes after v5, multiplayer is borked and the game is basically pay2win , the drop rate is too low, its highly unlikely getting the best parts for free... im not asking to flame the game but at least warn new players what their going to get when they try it. their support forum is not a reliable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.53.166.118 (talk) 14:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Forums are not considered to be reliable sources. I'll grant that from personal experience, everything you point out is true, but the fact is that this encyclopedia runs on verifiability. Without reputable sources making similar claims (sorry, but forum post do not count), the mention cannot be made. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② 21:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

If you really want to write about bugs and issues, you can use this as a starting point since complaints on forums isnt enough. (original post is by a developer stating there are issues with the game for a few weeks and past patches were ineffective so there might be a server shutdown/roll-back of sorts in the near future)

This game is full of bugs and is constantly blasted in the NFSWorld forums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.62.92 (talk) 22:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
