[NEWS][CONTEST] The Online Leaderboard of X4: Timelines will be reset soon!

[Tomonor]

Hello X-Fans,

We hope you had a fantastic Holiday season! We want to share some important news about an upcoming change:

THE ONLINE LEADERBOARD OF X4: TIMELINES WILL BE RESET WHEN THE FLIGHT MODEL UPDATE IS RELEASED.

This reset is necessary due to the fundamental changes being made to the flight model, which will make comparisons with the older scores unfair. While we cannot provide an exact date for this change, we can confirm that the Flight Model Update is expected to be released in Q1 2025.

To make things interesting, we’re announcing a competition for a special reward:
Reach the Top 100 spot in any X4: Timelines scenario before the reset is applied, and you'll be rewarded with a special Mellow Mocha paint mod!

Just a heads-up: You'll only receive one paint mod, even if you make it into the Top 100 in multiple scenarios!
For clarification: unlike in regular "Beat the Community Manager" rounds, you don’t need to post your score this time, as we will use a different method to evaluate scores.

We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and we sincerely thank you for understanding.

Well lucky me I guess ;-)

.... Please consider rethinking this model. Even in Elite Dangerous unlocking a paintjob unlocks it for all ships of one type forever.

I would frankly very much prefer to have ship paintjob editor built into the game. Similar to racing games. With decals, projective paint and all. You could look at err.... Street Legal Racing: Redline for inspiration. Though later games like Grid likely had similar features.

If you're playing in the beta, do your scores still go to the same leaderboards?

Mellow Mocha is a good one!

Bah, just leave me alone with leaderboards. I just want the achievements.
Playing on beta whether it´s harder in timelines or not.
Hopefully i´ll reach 5-stars before deadline.

Edit: This doesn´t mean i´m not honoring the great work which has gone into this game franchise for over 25 years. It´s just a mere opinion.
End of elaboration, thanks for the points ;)

Great idea Tomonor!

Hello everyone,
I understand the confusion, because posting screenshots has been mandatory for participating in previous Beat the Community Manager events, however we are tracking this event from our database. Thus, posting screenshots of your standing of the leaderboard is not required here.

Sorry for the confusion.

We always had this option.
The difference lies in how we handle contests. This one is deliberately focused on the Top 100 players of every scenario, while the Beat the Community Manager contests require active participation on certain scenarios, thus the players must share a screenshot of their standing.
