Title: Item system impressions
Post by Yasten on 08/27/14 at 16:42:21

I'd want to know what you have as impressions on the new item system online...

What exactly is different?

I've read a lot of contradicting opinions.
I don't trust the majority of people to have opinions about something with so much randomness

I don't have an opinion because because I get a disc error often in GP/online so can't really play much

I think there are too many blue shells, should be a limit to 1 per race, and not enough sound blocks

to me it seemed the same as usual. coins cockblocking when i need an item, blue shells running around, mushrooms when i'm too far behind to catch up.

i think people just got different luck than usual and think the item system was changed.

All I ever seem to get (when not in 1st) is triple mushrooms.

Ouch!!! I must have seen a Blooper in 11th... I was like *raging* Couldn't even get close to 1st... I even got shut out by the worst thing ever... Never want to know about MK8 again lol... I feel like MK8 has changed too much... Even without a new mechanic. [smiley=flush.gif] This is how I feel... Flustered.

I got a star in 2nd, a shock in 8th but at all I don't see any fireflowers or blue shells. Frontrunning was nice because no reds hit me and I got less coins than before. You sometimes get owned in the crowd by 3 greens but it is way less than before the patch.

I got owned by a shock while frontrunning at RR... Over a gap >:(

The new item balance is even worse, I have no idea how they made the old sytem seem better...

I haven't noticed anything in particular, besides that WWs are still annoying.

Do you mean they tried to fix the item balance with the patch? :-?

I don't think it has been fixed, but I'd give you the point. I think it's worse myself.

Pretty sure nothing about the item system has changed. All I get in 1st-3rd is still coins. Might've seen a few more blue shells overall, but I attribute that to the group I was playing with being worse than usual. (Drove without touching hop/drift for a race and still got 1st.)

It seems exactly the same to me.

Too many reds in 2nd, how are you supposed to have a good time frontrunning? -_-

I know it's an old post. But idrc. The item system is just messed up. It's like only TTing and battle in MK8 is acceptable.

In my experience, the game should be called Red Shell Kart 8.
