Hello
As i used to own a trackmania nation linux server, does Trackmania Turbo offers the possibility to setup a personnal server ?
Thanks

I guess reading is not one of your strong forces?

They're not allowing private servers anymore since the console plebs aren't allowed to host their own, so we can't host our own either

Well, at least they were honest and said that it was too complex and took to much time,
time which they didn't have because they sold TM to Ubisoft which is known to rather release fast than good and come up with a average port with no differences from the console version in terms of gameplay aspects. That's the danger of choosing Ubisoft as a publisher.

It has nothing to do with Ubisoft being the publisher, such arguments are unnecessary.
Rather the reason is with the intended simplicity of usage of the game.
And the choice to keep Maniaplanet as the creative platform. At least for the moment. ;-)

Hmm, don't you think it's strange that TMN, TMUF, and every part of the TM² series had dedicated servers and then they sign a deal with Ubisoft and suddely we get a Trackmania:
1.Without Dedicated servers
2.Without being able to hide cars
3.Without local and world records
4.Without being able to change keybindings on day #1
5.No more than 100 people on a server
6. Uplay mandatory

All those things that made Trackmania what it is were all blown of the table.
I tihnk it has everything to do with Ubisoft being the publisher, i know for sure that they told Nadeo to get rid of all those functions to create a game with the vision of Ubisoft instead of Nadeo's awardwinning vision.

Unless something happened in the first four or five hours of release that I'm not aware of I'm pretty sure we could change bindings pretty much from the start.

Sure. They made many things same, but also many things different - on purpose.
But if it was only missing time that made them not finish everything, they might perhaps release a dedicated (let's say for PC, as cross-platform won't work this soon) in a later point of time.
But I have not read anything about a possible dedicated server for Turbo yet.

Alot of people are having issues with keybindings on controllers and Nadeo is already working on a patch, It only happens with controllers though, not on keyboards. i should have written that more clearly.. xD

Yeah, well it didn't work out for them then when seeing all the negative reviews compared to the other Trackmania's.

Don't get me wrong, i'm totally in love with this game so if i'd write one i would write a positive review, but it's just a fact that they've could've done so much more and that all the good things about Trackmania were replaced with more simple things. :)

No problem. I have a similar opinion. And you seem to give your opinion quite reasonably, thanks for that :)

It's always nice to have a respectful discussion with someone, so thanks to you too!
