The_Shadow_LinkPosted 5/5/2012 12:01:19 PM | I can understand capping the speed boost gained from coins to ten to give those behind a chance. But did they need to cap coins gained per race to ten? It's never been that in the Mario Kart's that used Coins before... makes a whole lot of annoying grinding as well.

CubeTVPosted 5/5/2012 1:26:08 PM | What's worse is the coins collected in the Coin Battle do not even count towards your coin total. Same with Time Trials!

Did you stop to think that if the coins collected during time trials were accumulated into your total, then people could've gotten every single kart part on Day 1? Hell, just race on Toads Circuit about 20 times and you're good to go.

I don't understand your point. People have created coin farming communities (150cc / mushrooms only / players are asked not to collect coins once they've reached the limit of 10 so that others can / players are asked to vote for short tracks like Toad Circuit or SNES Mario Circuit 2 etc.). How is “race on Toad circuit about 20 times” different from that? |

Really? It'd be WAY easier. You could do it over and over again, without pause. If you're grinding in a community, you have to vote for whatever course, wait for the game to select the course, wait a second or two more before the race because of possible lag, wait for everyone to finish the race (if you're playing with more than 2 people), and then go back to the waiting room after four races to start another GP.
There's also some time in between grinding sessions if the person you were racing with had to leave. Offline single-player time trials could be done forever. And yeah, you could probably get all the parts in a day through that method, which you couldn't do in community races. |
OxygenSupplyPosted 5/5/2012 5:10:38 PM | In a mushroom-only community, races are done much quicker as _each_ item box will give you 1 Mushroom, 3 Mushrooms, a Golden mushroom or a Lucky 7 with 7 mushrooms. So even if it doesn't compensate completely waiting times, it's almost equal to grinding offline in Time Trials. Really, this excuse is not valid, online coin farming is pretty much identical to an hypothetical offline TT coin farming, so the fact that Nintendo chose to make coins only from races count towards the total has the only consequence of making people play less Time Trials and battles, which is absolutely stupid. Why would Nintendo want that? If they think nobody cares about these modes, just remove them, but don't act like hypocrites. |

You need 20000 coins to unlock the Gold Kart w/o playing online. So, in a course that allots 10 coins per race, you would have to race it 2000 times. Assuming it takes you two minutes to race, set up the next race, etc., you'd have to spend 4000 minutes or 166 hours "grinding coins."
On top of that, why are guys freaking about coins? Put in some time and unlock the parts if it annoys you that much. You don't even have to get coins to unlock most of the kart parts... StreetPass is there for a reason, y'know? And why are you unlocking the parts in the first place--to play online, right? How about playing online to get better at racing online rather than chasing some kart part that might make you marginally better?
