Love something. Really? I get it,it's a video game. Its seems all the posting on how bad the penalty system is/was has made it worse. Kind of like texting your ex over and over till the cops show up. Different kind of love but anyway. Yes I once too was in love with this franchise until they released this piece of crap. Now you might understand why I divorced it.
Looks like the same guy both times and it's definitely intentional. Some kind of personal vendetta maybe? Is there something you're not telling us, Sven?Just kidding of course. Probably just some idiot who doesn't like Canadians. Or just some idiot.
It's very common that people divorce and then go on to find other people who love them.
Oh well, these pictures are a perfect example that showcases what's the problem today. It is not possible to avoid that certain players are incorrect as in the video, but the PD could at least prevent the victim after being hit and dragged off the track also has to suffer a penalty in seconds. Even the acts of revenge are the result of bad management. In races, everything can happen (someone has often said it here) it can also happen that the one in front of us uses different trajectories than usual, perhaps because of others in front of him, but it is always the job of those who follow to adapt and be careful. At least I do so, within the limits of my abilities. So you cannot justify a contact just because in front of it they made chaos, who is hit (even without bad will) will feel damaged 2 times seeing no penalty for the hitter and therefore revenge will start, which is not fair but is the consequence of a broken system. The sum of all these things makes the game become horrible and unplayable for those who want to do it in a certain way.Ignorance is bliss?
Does FIA know they are endorsing this?
2 and 7 sec penalty for me and engine damage etc
This is why I quit playing this game. One step forward 3 steps back. I play AC,PC2 and actually Nascar. I've played every GT game,been staunch supporter of PD. This is not the "Real Driving Simulator "Oh there was something before that. He's a fast player (turned out to be an alt account from someone from the UK) who had a crappy race and fell back. He was impatient, dive barge passed me to get back to the front (last right before the chicane) then kinda messed up the chicane so I got next to him ahead of him on the way to T1. I was on the outside on the way to T1, he was on the inside drafting another car there a bit further ahead so inched ahead. Last second he swerved back over to the racing line taking my view away of the braking point and slammed on the brakes, I bumped him he went wide. Had he simply kept the inside line, nothing would have happened. That first hit happened at the end of that lap. I had engine damage so went in to the pit, shouldn't see him again. But he screwed up again later, I passed his ghost then he did the second hit from way behind after which he quit.
The next race he finished 2nd with fastest lap, behind another alt account from the UK. (I called him out before the race, he said some nasty words whatever, real temper that one) I did a Monza race in between where I got 2 BS penalties, dropped to SR.A, then my 3rd FIA race went great (in SR.A). I finished 4th with clean race bonus, didn't get rammed off once. Not worth that many points but far less red ratings at the end and less cursing.
Just some idiot that probably can't get away with his hot headed driving back home.
Interesting view. You think PD intentionally made it worse because people complain about the penalty system
Anyway the main reason I posted those two hits is for the penalty system. Have you ever seen more intentional hits than that? Why does the ghosting not kick in in FIA? Is this what FIA wants?
This is the focus, if there was not a driver ranking (which moreover influences the points achievable in NATION CUP AND MANUFACTURED SERIES) no one would give a penalty, we will race to those who are harder, demolition derby style. But the ranking exists and you can climb it up with improprieties, or slide down without blame, something must be done, being able to get out of a broken race without losing DR would already be a good thing, it would be a starting point. Don't lose points due to a lost server connection also well. Losing the ranking because you are not up to it must be accepted, but not because of the crazy children.
I'm sure when lost server lost Dr point, 1100 for me
Yeah that happens to me too but usually its just dirty drivers complaining that others drive dirty. They may not punt someone off but then they do overtakes with door smashes, swiping across the track not using radar like a pleb and push someone overtaking them off.. Another good one is people who are understeering in a corner with someone next to them continue to floor the gas so they run the other guy wide or off track instead of releasing the throttle, giving space and having actual sportsmanship. It pisses people off, they remember and they more often than not will retaliate. The guy driving like a pleb doesnt remember or know what he did so to him the guy going for revenge is a stranger - _- it happens all the freaking time.
I also tried these techniques, I said at least I avoid wasting time or being thrown off the track .... leaving the road open seems not enough, they must hit you, taking the position is not enough they want to make sure that you don't try to take it back . They always try to delay you or accelerate you to take some penalties. If they are already developing the GTS sequel and this seems to be their game strategy then I think they won't get my money.I never complained about the penalty as it's better then nothing, but I think right now it is at one of the worst shapes:
The traditional and usually stupid overtaking maneuvers which consist of, go out of the slipstream, to the other half of the track, dive into the inside of the corner, even ifs on brands hatch, if the guy in front keeps the racing line (aka don't parks hes car in the outside so the super lightning fast person can pass), the lightning persons rams some part of the lateral of the car, very likely sending out of track. Then the penalty system comes in as gives the penalty to the guy that was just keeping his line.
If you just try to have a regular pace that is very difficult as on most of the corners you have to 'park' so they can pass without messing.
I hate all of this ******** "oh i'm defending" "oh im cutting his slipstream wobbling from side to the another"
fortunately, on long races the best strat in the end is park, let them by, they will crash into someone else in the front, so you may benefit
But for what reason I feel many people worry so much about the SR, it no longer has any value now, indeed I have noticed that often the races in the lower SR classes are cleaner. Some time ago you really felt the difference when you entered S class, but now what does it mean? With a lottery-style penalty system, a fairplay ranking does not make senseMonza just killed my SR rating, in one day of racing it fell from S to B, managed to get it back to A, but it just seems like it's a lottery with penalties out there on first and second chicane. For example, get punted hard from behind while braking for 2nd chicane, because of that punt cut the right-hand turn at the chicane and get two wheels in the gravel trap, car that used me as a brake goes through cleanly and then uses me also as a barrier while im in the gravel so he too doesn't end up in it - 2s for exceeding track limits and 5s for colliding with the other car penalty for me. Seems about right. Also there seems to be no penalty whatsoever for crashing into someone from behind at braking, so happy punting everybody.
The problem is I genuinely love racing at Monza and endure this broken penalty system for a hope of one great race in 5 attempts, but it's just starting to become insufferable. I can't accept the fact that I have to let every "late braking hero" to pass me by just to have at least somewhat clean race and still finish above them in the end.
