Except it's not yet "out of the gate". I think many of you understand this, yet forget for short periods of time that this is a closed beta/testing phase.Off topic, but it's hard to believe PD didn't already code in a DQ for getting 4 wheels off the track.On the other hand, kind of humourous to recall some of the rumours about what FIA track certification would mean to the game when they can't even get this most basic principle correct, out of the gate.
one word "brake check"I guess it made sense in my head...
I'm still adamant that different penalty severities for different infractions are possible if not easy to implement, especially with track boundaries. Higher penalty for infield/shortcuts, lower penalty for slight infield runoff.
Perhaps for vehicle-vehicle contact higher speed/impact collisions could result in a higher penalty? I don't see how the game wouldn't have the data for the difference in speed between the vehicles at the time of collision. A higher-speed collision should be a larger penalty, and perhaps to avoid exploits as you said, for both cars. It would cover situations where people try to use other cars as their brakes (the receiver will feel short changed when it occurs, but it should encourage less belligerent behavior from those that usually commit these offenses), and situations where cars are stopped on track post-wreck (it won't be perfectly fair for clean drivers trying to avoid wrecks, but as a whole it should encourage more cautious behavior towards risky drivers and on-track incidents, enrage crashed drivers to move off the racing line and make more intelligent track re-entry strategies, and have people rely less on ghosting [as I see a lot of people approach wrecks assuming they'll ghost thought them]).
Right now slight taps in pack racing near the start of the race are considered equal to hard rams and side swipes, and I'm finding it difficult both to improve my SR rating and to accurately gauge how dirty or clean drivers are with the current system.
Actually betas are for whatever the developers need it to be. Instituting track limits, and determining what constitutes a clean lap while testing the game with hundreds of testers is precisely what betas are for. If even the physics of the game and track details are still being refined and added to, what makes you think a closed beta test version is somehow beyond that point? Fact of the matter is you have absolutely no idea where PD are with the game, not even a wild guess. So when you speak like you are somehow sharing their offices for the sake of denigrating the game, it gave me pause when I read your post.
Yes, so before you go telling people that this is a beta and things will change, you should probably hold of on the argument about what is lacking and what isn't until the final game comes out, no? I mean that's what your using to disagree with someone's else's opinion on the same matter. So far we definitely know it's not there, but we don't know what will happen in the future so his point is just as valid as yours in this case. Nothing wrong with going off what is presented to us.
So you're saying none of us have any certainty about what a final product will be like. That I can obviously agree with. However, you seem to also be saying that if one of us goes on to proclaim that PD cant get something right "out of the gate" as if he IS certain, then I have no grounds to say anything about that? That part I don't agree with. Especially because I'm the one using the whole issue of uncertainty as my point.
Track limits and clean laps are Sim Racing 101. You don't need a beta to figure out that cutting across the dirt and shaving 20 seconds off a lap needs to be fixed. It never should have made it into a beta to begin with, it should be an essential element of the coding process. One doesn't need to share an office at PD headquarters to know this.
Track limits and clean laps should be Sim Racing 101, and yet both PCars and AC released on PS4 with poor track limit implementation.
No idea what they're doing with that track but I've said from the beginning that the track is unsuitable for competitive racing in a game with a safety rating. Organized club races with like minded individuals, no problem, but the same can be said for any track so it's not exactly a virtue. IMO it's a waste of resources in such a small and tightly focused game.
Have you raced on Brands hatch or the ring? If you are not top 5 and can't get off fast your SR is going to suffer. I blame it on the people who just don't have respect for racing. @bdj57 sorry man I didn't answer your question I think they took it out the Beta because of the major complaints. Hopefully they do as you said and give us a night version.

Bro people don't care that's it, and honestly if GTS didn't have SR or DR online would be even worst. There is no accountability for people so they don't care. If we held Sport mode competition at GTP it would be a completely different experience, you wouldn't have to cringe your teeth before a turn worrying about being punted off the track. You would be called out on here for that. As a whole I am enjoying sports mode but you get those days where you just like really.
