    With the Minor update that was released today, the new trails i think (and some others do too) are way too big. I think they alter the game completely by blinding you, and yes, it's starting to look like sass. I know, you want to say to me, hey, your a plat, you can just turn the trails off. Yes, i have done that, but why should i have to subject my trail (something i would have paid $15 normally) just to play the game without a major distraction. The trails don't have to be extremely wide as they are. I hope you will see where i am coming from.

    Problem is, is that all materials have to be to the power of 2, and in this case they're being resized to 128x128. I can experiment with making them smaller, but that's the unfortunate price to pay at the moment with these trails. Think of it this way, if lots of players on the server (lets say we had 35 actively always playing), it would be even worse with or without these new trails. So either way, the option is there for that purpose. You still have a trail, you just cannot see it.

    Why not make the option to disable trails for non-plats alike?

    Cant resize to the power of one, and Bundt is a plat, just he's saying he wants to be able to see and have trails on.

    Alot of the players arent plats so they won't have the ablities that we do. I see what your saying Bundt I was in there and it sorta lagged me a bit but I was fine. But i dont think [BB] will ever turn out like Sass :eek: (At least I'm hoping not)
