Drifting in online games - A Warning

[Boffin]

You say no other drifters feel the same as me?











Also if it makes you feel like a SUPERmod then just do it already. I COULD CARELESS

Actually mate, you've got 3 people (one of your numbers actually said they get out of the way so I don't know how that proves your point).

It's down to the fact that I'm not skilled enough to get multiple quotes on one post, but just count mate.
I got The359, Pauly, the moderators and a few more on my side saying it's best for drifters to pull over.

I guess a pinicle point from the side of the grippers can be deducted from many posts from many users. There is enough space for everyone but if you (the drifters) let the grippers past first, the two sides can be separated and get on with what they are there to do in the first place. If you don't, we'll follow you and screw up your drift. If you get in the way if us, you ruin our race.
Two wrongs don't make a right.

As for the respect - you have me on that one. But this is because you drifters turn to ghosts after a while. when that happens, all though it's inconvinient, most of us havn't a problem there - it's just when contact between a gripper and a drifter can be detrimental for both sides. This happenes at the start of a race (or should I say drift session)

The point here is the fact that we do get out of the way.

Yet the "racers" keep posting about warnings like they can ban us from GT5P online. I can sit there in every race and ram into people and nothing will happen.

OP is just making empty promises with his "warning."

bottom line move over at the start and thas that beyond that is not my problem or fault

seems like this is going to be an on-going argument until poly decides to make an online drifting channel. should start a vote thread then maybe pd will listen to our cries.

It been said heaps of times mate, if you get out of the way, we're your friends. We have no problem and we have respect for you because you get out of the way as you acknowledge grippers will go faster and you will be keeping them up. If you get out of the way, there's no chance you could possibly get banned.
The ban sounds like a long stretch for me too, I don't know how actions on a separtate game can get you banned but there's probably a way. The warning is a bit of a stretch too because The359 can report, but not ban anyone.
Take it more as a suggestion, a plea, an effort for both sides to get a long, if not from The359, then from me.

You know that crystal ball only works for Doritos, right?

HAHA

But maybe DORIFTOS will work 💡


Anyway, 359, how about just leaving this warning be, and come back when it happens again?

I think that sounds good. Oh, and make sure you get names written down. If your whole race is ruined, why not spend that wasted time gettin' back at those guys, eh?

Besides, Grippers *Ahem* are starting to take away OUR drifting time

I'm talking banned from the actual game, not this forum. The actual game will not ban you for drifting. This site has nothing to do with what I do in the game. If I block him in the game, then he can't come here and report me for it.

I just want to say we don't have the grip to pull over in like 1 second. Wheelspin is a factor since we drift low grip tires...

..it's just when contact between a gripper and a drifter can be detrimental for both sides. This happenes at the start of a race (or should I say drift session)

I'mma just say this, each drifter or racer has different tune setups. Some drift stock, some goes for huge HP, some go underpowered.

It's mainly the tires that takes us over, unless others drift high grip tires besides S1's. We most use N3's, & my Lotus Elise for example, has least weight & max HP as I said, rolling N3 tires around. We pull over as fast as we can to avoid the people behind us. As a Lotus drifters, I sometimes start in the front, but manage to get out the way in time & im talking about the start. (Or should I say drift session)

 

[Delphic Reason]

Drifters do not lose anything by getting out of the way. Grip racers will lose something if they are blocked, or have to get out of the way (i.e. the race). How much more clear can this be?

This is ludicrous.

How many more times does it have to be said?

The point here is the fact that we do get out of the way.

No, some get out of the way. There have already been a number of people saying they will not get out of the way in this very thread. If you get out of the way, why are you taking offense to this thread? Weird logic, to be sure.

Ok, so our respect (Drift side) is to be careful, & pull over so the racers can have there race or move over. What's the grippers respect? Just curious.

If the drifters just move over when grippers go pass (this is a minuscule amount of time), there is no problem. The grippers don't have to do anything, because no one is in anyone's way period.

I have been doing this since the game came out, and honestly I don't see what the big deal is. It's never caused me any trouble in getting the drifts I wanted to achieve, and everyone was happy. Just move over. Why all the pride? The grippers aren't stealing your thunder. They're just trying to get a good lap time (often during an online competition) and this can't be done with random cars blocking the road for no reason.

Your asking us to do something that we already do, so why are you continuing to argue.

For the love of.....

For the last time. If you get out of the way and are a courteous driver, this thread is not directed at you. Just because you do, doesn't mean everyone does, and bringing it to people's attention is the only way to help foster better driving habits among the masses.

I see drifters blocking and messing with grip drivers all the time. I also see plenty of drifters who are courteous. So, no it is not something that you all do.

 

[bergauk]

Just out of curiosity.. what happens if theres a drifter thats actually driving fast enough to be ahead of the pack? Should he have to pull over because he is drifting? Or should he continue being faster than the rest of the pack and wait till someone gets near him to stop drifting? I don't own the game or a PS3 yet, but honestly I do wonder about the common sense rules that are placed on the drifters in the game.

I'm getting tired of this.

if you sit there in every race and ram people you won't last long here. You may well think that the OP is making empty promises, but I'm certainly not.

Try me.

If I block him in the game, then he can't come here and report me for it.

He can, and I will act on it.

Another empty promise? Try me.


EDIT:

I'm closing this thread as everything has been made perfectly clear. If certain members here fail to grasp what's been said then perhaps they need to go back to the beginning and start again.

I will post another thread soon detailing everything that needs to be followed whilst drifting online.
