PENALTY SYSTEM IS STILL A PIECE OF ****!!!

Is it just me or did the driving standards get worse about the time students get off for the summer? Or in other words, increased traffic during the summer months. I remember last year around the same time I stopped playing for a few weeks and played Fall Guys instead. This year Virtua Fighter popped up just at the right time.
 
Apparently that was for "forcing another vehicle off the track". Errrr.... :confused:

And then and I meet this guy causing havoc on the track and he didn't even got half the penaltys he should have.



Beware of this guy and be sure to punt him off before he do. It's not the first time I have to deal with him. While the pens were off, I took him off track after he bumps me wide 3 times. Then in the chat, he said he will remember me for what I've done. lol

I also got the reseting car penality. Seriously, this kind of thing should not even exist. shame :yuck:

I’ve played that guy many times and he’s always dirty.

Under the original strict sr rules I’d never see his kind in game.

this is why i hate this track , every corner is a punting opportunity , and with gravel traps everywhere its a dirty driver's dream
 
I was behind another Swedish driver at Brands Hatch earlier, he was right behind a McLaren and dives up the inside when we get to the straight, I follow, then the McLaren tries to pit right through us both.
I got two seconds for forcing a car of track, that's the McLaren pitting......

It is simply a ****** system, those two weeks without penalty where golden and almost no troll at all.
Remember that when someone get a penalty they can respond to that in various way, most of the time being pissed off (correctly) they try to mess up with other people, something that doesnt happen with this bs penalty system turned off.
There's a reason they don't use their system in the championships, because is simply broken and would be a worldwide embarassment if they had it enabled.

Yes but with no system it goes to honor.

The only fair way to do it is sr down to all players hitting others plus strict penalties for severe contact.

Without that at all levels there will be one or two in every room lacking honor or pride and they ruin the game for many players.

Just tonight it was an A plus player starting without qualifying ramming through the field two races in a row. If he was getting penalties and sr downs he wouldn’t ruin the fun for those who try to race.

With lax penalties like now it encourages those who lack honor, those small minded trolls who value another ten DR points over fun.

Tonight it was the guy diving over the grass to t bone me that got me to turn off the game.
A plus player, nice.
This guy had the game down, knew where to use the grass to get the inside line and knew how not to trigger pens while shoving ramming and punting to the front.
A plus player.
99 sr.

Every time I enter more than a race or two, I always walk away angry.

This failed worldwide embarrassment pen system causes this.

It benefits the low minded troll players, the cheaters, those with no pride or honor, those who don’t even bother trying to do anything except get their car ahead by any means possible.

Those are the people the system rewards.

I mean hey if PD likes this Mariokart caricature of racing for the esport, if they want to make a mockery of Motorsport they have succeeded.

When my opponent can drive off track onto grass to cut the turn to the inside, t bone me wide just near apex and then get ahead with no penalty it’s a joke.

Remember that time you’re speeding past the pit exit at Brands and the car coming out floors it uses you for a brake then gets no penalty as you are stuck in a sand trap?
That was awesome right?
Remember when it was an A plus 70k player?
GTS penalties (none in this case)
are AWESOME!
 
Last week Brand's Hatch was painful. Starting mid-pack and it was nothing but a full contact sport where you need to get rid of oppositions.

There is not enough red SR rating at the end of the race compared to all the bad behavior I could witness.

In one case, I miss a corner and I'm getting catch up, for the next turn I'm already conceding the position to the guy alongside me. He have all the room he want on the inside line but it was not enough for him. Just before turn in, he swing in my direction throw me off track. Dude what the 🤬
.
So instead of losing 1sec and 1 place, I lose 5 place and a **** load of time. Watching the replay, he didn't get anything.

I call them smooth punters. Just brushing you to unsettle the car and get no pens.

Unfortunately, this kind exists in droves in GTS.
The lack of being penalized brings this out.
It’s the little things too. Like today I was passed lap one by a WRX on C race he jumped out to a five second lead, but by lap five I caught him because he was cooking his tires.
Just before the chicane he did a perfect brake check on me to give him about a 2-3 second advantage into the pits.
Fast player, turned a couple 55 in race.
I caught him and fought him and he spun me off track and went on to win.

Every time I play lots I get so angry and toxic.
It seems like every time it’s “He’s not gonna go for that is he?” :::divebomb::::
DANGIT.

Throughout all levels there’s dirty cheaters.
Some skilled some unskilled.
There’s no escaping it.
I’m D E now. I can’t take it. Once you see and know what guys are doing it gets really maddening.

I guess you see why I quit now. It was the same for me. I enjoy the game by doing many races in a row, yet that guarantees meeting the bad apples every day. Since the penalty system went full bonkers / absent the ratio between good and bad races has been tilting to the bad side more and more. Instead of a couple bad races a day, it turned into a minority of satisfying races a day, sometimes only one. I was walking away angry from the game more and more instead of having a good time.

GR.2 DT Seaside next week, good luck :ouch:

The worst one are the skilled dirty driver. It's not obvious they are dirty but you know the way they touch your car, it was an easily avoidable contact and he did not avoid it. It was his plan.

When I see a car aproaching my attention goes too much on my rearview mirror, waiting for the stupid move, you can't trust anyone. How many time did I have to release the brake to avoid the late late "punt him just enough" driver and compromise my exit speed. :ouch:
 
With all this I read here in this thread, it is getting discouraging for me to even try the daily races. I will have to either practice practice practice and get better and not be a hindrance to other drivers OR just not race anymore, pack it up and go back to playing hitman, and I'm so bored with the violence....

I think, playing this game, a player needs to decide how they are going to deal with it.

Well after yet another day of blatant punting, dive-bombing, ignorance, lack of respect and every unpleasant adjective you can think of, I am going to park up until PD/Sony make the experience more palatable.
Cars are for driving, not using as weapons.

Join a team, race only in team events, try Dirt Rally 2. Just some suggestions.
 
Is there any initiative on Internet to make PD look bad. I mean, like flooding #mygtmoment with all the bad experience we get. That could bring some attention right?
I think that might be the only way to speak to them directly. But that still requires their Social Media people highlighting it to them.

PD don't care about #MyGTMoment now, the socials only post stuff from the FIA/World Tour events, I figured anything about GT7 would be shared here so unfollowed them.
 
I feel the current iteration of the penalty system is good if you are a clean driver. Drive clean and you are unlikely to get a penalty. So one way to improve racing could be to reward clean driving with DR bonus and not just clean race bonus for CR. I think it will encorage a lot of drivers to drive clean.

Iracing.

For me Im fine as long as I race sparingly, it only gets to me if I race several in a row.
