There should be an option in battle zone if you want the gates or not. Personally, I don't like the gates at all because even if you do really good like no damage and good drifts people can pass you by with invincible drift or something. But sometimes it can be fun like I got from 15th place to 4th place :xd:

That is why I think ijji should implement an option for the gates.
Please vote!

I second this notion
with some sort of exp% bonus as an incentive to use the gates I suppose

It would be even better if they could make a less inflexible situation than gate:no-gates customizable gates, pick and choose whats available from all the gates, make it all repair, or all 50s or all nothing, whatever you like, you could even make them all drift cities for a crazy race no matter the place. Of course, that's rather doubtful to happen, so yeah, it would be great if there could be an option for gates or no-gates, especially on maps like High-level mountain pass, in Cras, Drift Cities make that map completely pointless, they don't even need to turn.

I think there should be. The gates can be really cheap. One time I afked for a bit at the start of the match and after a few gates I boosted nonstop all the way to first. Cheap much?

agree to no gates game mode but what will be in place of it? it will jus play like NFS if theres no gates... ie) drift button well maps that have 500000 diff ways to turn would be fun w/o gates

We don't mean no gates in that way, rather it would be no power-ups, you could still have the gates just acting as checkpoints, but they don't give anything when you pass them, so the tracks would be the same as always.

that seems like a OK idea but no power up's at all? =( why not just try weakning the drift logo one and the untouchable?

Just make it so you can get 50% boosts and 100% boosts or repairs complete, nothing else.

I don't see the problem with gates. If you have any skill at all, you can maintain first place even if someone uses a Drift City.

But since they are so much complaints, it would be nice to see a section without gates.

Yeah there should be an option to it... but the gates do make the game a little bit faster which is the point of the game. Going at a constant of 145mph isnt so great.

I don't really see the problem with gates. Infact, I've won some games because of gates and lost them because of gates and its just luck man. I still have fun anyway.

But that's exactly the reason why some people want them removed; they put too much luck into races.

yes i agree there should be an option for races with gates to be included or not.

without gates, it would allow racers to race using more of their driving techniques and power of their car rather than base it more on the luck factor.

however, i've noticed that having gates sort of balances the game, those with weaker cars can beat those with stronger cars with better boosts. i've noticed that whenever i'm leading the race, the boosts i get are either nothing or 50% boost, thus allowing others to catch up pretty quickly with a drift city boost :doh:

i've seen people who can barely do a decent drift beat those who manage to perfectly drift through every corner, only to be beaten by a drift city boost -_-

I was just thinking they should have an option for boost free races. When going up against real players and not AI, I think its better to race straight up. Custom gate races is a better idea though and it should be an option not a must. I don't like how 1st place makes you a sitting duck to get passed by powerups.

I believe the only fair power ups are hyper boost, repairs, and 50% and 100% and Team boost 50%

Even hyper boost is iffy in my opinion, but another big issue is the way the damage you take changes depending on what place your in, you can be in first drift around a corner and nick a tree and you end up losing half your life, do the same in 4th or 5th and you lose nothing, shoot even just in 2nd you'll lose a tiny amount compared to first. Also if there are only 2 people in the race, 2nd place will never take damage, first will take massive damage.

Make it so that everyone gets the same powerups per race, but the gates they get them at is still random.

Things like gates just before a turn, if you get a hyper boost there you can be screwed over unless you are really on the ball and start your drift early. Thats part of the fun and skill if you ask me. So randomized powerups are important.

However it sucks to lose after getting nothings and repairs only to someone who got a whole bunch of drift citys and hypers. So at the end of the race i think everyone should have gotten the same powerups.

Also the powerups you can get should still be random, so some maps everyone gets loads of good powerups, whereas on other maps everyone gets nothings.
