Ideas & suggestions for next beta/full version

I think it would be great if the CPU jumpers’ animations were visible (Like in The Past), but there could be one button to switch to the next jumper and another button to skip all jumps and go directly to your own jump.”
Because only looking at The Stats gets kinda booring. Many people (Like me) look at The jumpers and maybe copie something to get better at The Game.

My idea for future World Cups — split the tournament into two sessions:

QUALIFYING SESSION:

• Everyone takes part (I think the number of players on the server could easily go up to 500–1000).
• The qualifying session would be three competitions with three rounds of jumps each — nine jumps in total (no separate qualifications inside each comp).
• Nobody gets eliminated after any of the jumps.
• The session would be scored using ratings instead of points.
• After it’s over, we divide all players into smaller 40-players groups — the last one might just be smaller.Then we take a 5-minute break and move on to the main event.

MAIN EVENT:

• Each player gets access to the server they qualified for (example: if there were 244 players in quals, Server A: 1–40, Server B: 41–80, Server C: 81–120, Server D: 121–160, Server E: 161–200, Server F: 201–240, Server G: 241–244 — optionally, Server G could include players who didn’t take part in the qualifying session).
• The in-tournament qualifications are replaced with a warm-up session.
• The competition itself works the same as usual — two rounds, and the top 30 players get World Cup points.

I think this kind of format would make it fairer, since every player would end up in a group where they can actually compete on a similar level. Right now, having 100 (or before, 200–300) people in one qualification round just doesn’t make much sense.

I really hope this suggestion won’t get ignored like the previous ones about adding new game modes.

Hi,

I would like to suggest a few small usability improvements related to the “Select hill” menu and competition flow.

1. Hill numbering
It would be very helpful if each hill in the “Select hill” menu was numbered (e.g. 1, 2, 3, … according to the order in the competition). This would make it much easier to keep track of the schedule, especially in longer competitions or custom calendars.

2. Replace hill while keeping competition settings
It would be great if there was an option to replace a selected hill with another one, while keeping all existing competition settings (rules, start order, qualification settings, etc.).
This would be useful if you want to change a hill without having to recreate the entire competition from scratch.

3. Display competition date before each event
Since a competition calendar with dates already exists in the settings, it would be nice if the competition date was displayed before each event (for example on the competition start screen). This would improve immersion and make the calendar settings more meaningful during gameplay.

Thanks for considering these ideas and for the continued development of the game.

Offline game has received great updates lately. Can online game get some love too?

Some suggestions for online mode improvement:
(I may have already proposed some of these few years back)

1. More leaderboards and stats - track stuff like "biggest rank movement in past week/month", "most new NR/WR", "most tournaments played in past week/month", "most top3 records achieved in tournaments" . Also would be cool to highlight new NR/WR achieved in online modes - make a log of those visible, something like "new records from past x days"

Why: it promotes online play, give players more reasons to play etc, more sense of achievements


2. Option to schedule own tournament in Private server - to be able to run player made competition, third party tourney circuit etc.

Why: promotes online play, option to organize own tournaments with prizes and use DSJ as a platform. Mediamond gets more money from both server sales and online key sales.


3. Bigger KO tournament - the Central european four is lot of fun, but it is only once per month and only four hills so it lasts for about 5 minutes? I'd personally love to try a full KO WOT some day - same rules like european four, but make it a 32 hills tourney etc. Or just make it possible to configure in the private server and we can then schedule it on our own as a custom unofficial tourney.
