gtplanet drift rank?

129
Hamtarro, DK-GT_RookieBoa
sorry for my english :)

i had an idea for us drifters, probably a stupid one but i thought i would share it anyway

what about a rank system based on the overall average driftscore for all tracks. the idea is to take your highest overall driftscore for each track divided with no. of track

for each rank there could be difference of 4000 points
0-4000=NOOB ;)
4000-8000=below average
etc.
or something like that, this is just a rough draft

ofcourse this would have to be done by each individual user
 
IMO, we cannot really rank any members because drifting various upon the condition. Though that we would have to have a panel of veteran judges and have a public vote to rightly place the member.
 
if they should be 100% accurate, then yes judges and or complicated systems would be need. but since people in here, tend to be fair players i would trust their rank,
but your probably right, it various on conditions.
it would be pretty cool though :D
 
Yes but not all gt drift pros use drift mode so that wouldnt be fair to them. So it would just promote a false sense of skill. If anything like this were to happen we would need judges.
 
Drift trial mode isn't all that great. It promotes you to use N1 tires to achieve a high score by going slower. I high score should be given for going through a section faster well maintaining a good line.
 
Its also how well you control your car. alot of people start thinking its really easy becuase someone will see me do it, just becuase someone makes it look easy doesnt mean it is. im no pro but my highest score is 16012 with my blitz.
 
until a tandem drift system is made, the only way to rank players on these forums is by using ranks from the drift trials. I say billos247 should be the one to make an official gt planet rankings list since he is the top drifter here.or maybe we can sort out a weekly drift trial championship? just a suggestion.....

Who makes him the top drifter? We will do the ranking the old fashion way if you guys prefer. Videos and Judges like the old GTPDC days !
 
I think we forget this is only a game lol , and yes i might be one of the top drifters at getting points but that doesnt make me a great drifter ive seen a lot of videos and theres a lot of people out there better than me (drifting the whole track) , and as for judges i prefer the letting the game decide what you get but i would like to drift the whole track for points not just sections .That would be a challenge ,and i think a lot of people would want this ...
 
Who said games couldnt be competitive? Although If we do start up the GTPDC's again, I think we should at least wait until GT5 actually comes out. No point in doing it until it actually comes out. Either way im down to judge NK, and maybe even run if I have the time.
 
Yes lets wait for gt 5 just warming up on prolog , outlawzpl nurburgring yes please ( lets hope the tyres dont blow up before we get around )

I wouldn't mind either though its been a long time since I have judged.
 
Imagine the score on N1's (Nurburgring) :) & how focus you'll have to stay 4 whole lap (15min? :)). I wonder if they will give us empty rankings on tracks from GT5:P (ehh obvious...)
 
If we do have a competition like in the old days, we are most likely going to do a challenging section of the Nurburgring with many turns, bumps, uphill/downhill.

unless anyone can beat his scores on the rankings list then he is the best here. if anyone thinks there better then the only way to prove that is to beat his scores....its the only OFFICIAL way of ranking players for the time being
 
I beated one/two of his scores but it didn't take much time 4 him to kick my ass:) Same with x-neko-x, once I beat one of his scores, he's back after 10-15min ( wtf? text messages or what? :D )

But we are trying to discuss a GTP TOP DRIFTER and I don't believe we have a scored board yet.
 
easy i can make you a list right now

1 - dking
2 - asy
3 - kord
What are you on? its more like Dking, Widge and myself, then asy, kord and whoever else.
Somehow, this is going to be harder than it seems.
LOL Indeed it is going to be. Its going to be GT4 all over again if you know what i mean.

Rankings should only be taken from OFFICIAL sources, not a half ass competition between 5 or 6 people,thats just crap....Whats needed here is some leadership from someone that has PROVEN drift skills, is well organised, is not bias and has good communication. In my opinion Billos247 is the top candidate, with the biggest scores, best technique and has the ability to improve on his scores in very little time. Anyone who says otherwise needs to put their egos aside and recognise that he is OFFICIALLY the best here, i mean come on, who else on here has ever beaten a score set by stepmania!!??... for all those KIDS who think there the best drifter by using s1-s2 tyres just because there "faster" need to grow up and realise that drifting isnt all about speed it is about CONTROL hence the reason more points are awarded using n1-n2 tyres
 
You are officially the dumbest person on this site if you think drifting is about going slow. Holy ****. I can't even comprehend in words how stupid you are. Go tell the Formula D and D1GP guys they should go slower. Those guys whip it mad hard. Oh and for the record, the tires they use for drifting are almost if not in fact r compound tires. They don't drift on worn down pieces of **** like what N1 and N2 would be. Come challenge me online. I'm one of the worst guys on XAT and I'm still sure I could hand you your ass.
 
And the only reason people use N1 on the drift trials is because the GT5P scoring is so far flawed it's not even funny. It promotes you to go slow as can be to increase your score, hence why everyone uses N1 tires. 5th gear burn outs are not drifting.

yea your'e probly right anyways all you guys are amazing and it's a pleasure to drift with ya'll online

I havnt seen you much on gt5p tho lay.

Oh boy...
1. Who are you calling a kid?
2. Do your research Speed, Line and Angle. So tell me where drifting isnt about speed also?
3. The points system on GT5P is serverly flawed. Drifting is judged on Speed, Line, Angle, the most points is awarded to the person going the slowest through the given line rather than the person thats doing the exact same thats much faster. Tell me thats not flawed.
4. No one is "offically the best here". The best dont even use the drift trial modes.
5. I was joking with patt, no need to get butt hurt.
6. This guy v v just called you out, dang.

You do have a point there. Could have been a little less harsh, but either way.

I was on for a while until I managed to find another job. Ugh working full time kinda sucks sometimes.

And the only reason people use N1 on the drift trials is because the GT5P scoring is so far flawed it's not even funny. It promotes you to go slow as can be to increase your score, hence why everyone uses N1 tires. 5th gear burn outs are not drifting.

See im not the only one that thinks like that.

Got to say, it's true. The drift rank scoring system is bad for the fact that you need to go slow, but at the same time staying near the line. I tried with N3 tires, which gives you more grip & more angle.. Yet, I still end up in like the top 20th or 30th.

I drift with these guys & as much as I seen these people drift has nothing compared to drift rankings & scoring.
