I heard some of you say'd that smoke should be less... well I think smoke should be more and in different colors like in real life.. drift with no smoke will look horrible, and for that alone reason I would not drift, if GT goes back arcade again... simple as that.. for me they have to make it as real as possible, I would even want to taste that tire smoke (huge part of drifting...) ! :) and all these details will make game better! and drifting isnt rallying, you know your track very well, if you cant see it its your own problem, deal with it!

and in online lobby there should be "drift for real" for people who want to learn something... and "drift for fun" for people who want waste they're time! 👍

Agreed... Maybe it should delveop more for higher HP the supras poof out the most smoke pretty much.

But yeah let's leave the very little smoke or no smoke to forza and their so called simulator. Hahahaha burn.


Anyway. Another thing I have noticed lately is people are just plainly oblivious in random lobbies.

I was drifting in a train of about 4 to 5 people I am in third of the package. Here comes someone that joins in after catching up and then takes everyone back to front out. It turns out he was using comfort softs.

Then after he or she not saying sorry i ask politely to watch his car and if he or she can't follow me or anyone else don't follow me. Then here comes the exuse "your too slow" Hummmm ok bro. I explained we all were using a different tire grade then he says "once again you are all slow". Still no apology. So i let it go. Few mins later I see him coming again and starts to tap my car again.

So i then do the same thing while cursing him out (i don't care if you think i took it too far by cursing him out you show me no respect I show you none. End of discussion). He eventually started saying "why are you going so fast now?" I told him see how it feels a common courtesy goes far doesn't it. He left shortly after.

I mean if this is the stupidity and oblivious ignorant attitudes i am going to deal with when I am just trying to have a good time. I am just going to start staying in private lobbies and lounges.

Just no one knows how to properly tandem or have courtesy while doing so anymore in random lobbies.

Sorry for the rant hahaha
 
Remember, continuous mistakes are still just mistakes. It's the intent that determines whether or not something was truly a mistake. Assumptions in either direction can lead us toward an inappropriate course of action. Some people just need advice and are too afraid to ask... Some people are just trolls and need a foot in they... 💡 they just need to be kicked.

I agree with the first part of your post, but this part, I definitely disagree with. Let's use the example of Lock2Lock, shall we? Let's say, that person behind him doesn't mean to hit him, but he does because of the grip. He does know how to avoid this though, by changing tires.

By being selfish, sticking to his preferred set and ruining someone else's drifting... I call that intentionally. 100%

*You're welcome for the correction. ;)

I agree with you on most parts except the fact you want more smoke. More colours, and stuff... Yes. But not more smoke itself.

I strongly, very strongly agree with the italic part. If people know a track as good as they should, to tandem well, smoke isn't a real problem.

Agreed... Maybe it should develop* more for higher HP the Supra's* poof out the most smoke pretty much.

But yeah let's leave the very little smoke or no smoke to Forza* and their so called simulator. Hahahaha burn.

* No problem. (Your spelling checker had the day off, I take it? :D)

Anyway, I think you're right on most things. And frankly, I don't mind the 'rant'. What better way for a community is there to communicate, than seeing both sides of the story?

Maybe after a couple of these 'rants' people might start paying a bit of attention... And that's all I wanted in the first place :)

Yes my keyboard has been acting stupid lately making me curse this predictive text.
Thanks for correcting.

And yep if the rest or majority of the room was on comfort hards. Even though the room didn't have them restricted doesn't mean you have to do things that are completely pointless. I mean he could have went into single player. I mean it is just the common sense part.

But anyway

Accidents are not intentional, how many times does that have to be said to you? It's also in no way being selfish to use the tires he or she desires.
 
Accidents can be unintentional. Depends on the situation and how severe of an accident. I wouldn't say they're ALWAYS intentional...
 
If they're straight up raming you every chance they get THEN i would definitely say it's intentional.

Open Lobby Syndrome:
1. Where the driver thinks that being fast is the objective. Then sees two cars tandeming and tries to pass both at the same time and bumps into them.

2. Where the driver may not be as skilled and/or mature as most of the lobby and decides he or she wants to intentionally hit every drifter as hard as they can.

3. Where the driver seems to think that they are great at tandeming and when he/she sees a car drifting well, they will try to follow without any experience tandeming properly. In this case the diver doesn't know any better but if following is not working out for them, they will lead and stop in the middle of the road to wait for you so they can show off their "Awesome drifto slides" in front of you.

Dom you have killed your reputation on here. You take this way to serious, its just a game! Although you would fit right in over at Forza....

Yes, it IS selfish if everyone, or nearly everyone is on different tires and you're causing problems because of it. In that case, he would put himself in front of everyone else, which is selfish.

I won't call it intentional. Just driver's neglect.

Whatever you wanna call it, you can call it. I call it intentional.

My reputation? My reputation: Decently skilled drifter, very defensive driver and a person that hates morons behind the wheel. That's what it should be... Enough said. (Btw, why are you accusing me of taking stuff too serious when you actually care about a reputation?)

Which you've been doing yourself. But also, you say if problems are caused. Which means if everything is fine and dandy there is no selfishness present? Does this mean if I joined the CH group and created problems I would be selfish?Your logic is quite poor.

Reputation doesn't necessarily mean things are being taken serious. Have you ever gone outside of the drift forum? Besides the opinion section? People like you destroy the reputation of this forum. It's quite a shame, but you do give some of us a laugh here and there.

Just that there tells me you take it way to seriously.

I don't care about my reputation nor anyone else's for that matter. But everyone use to like drifting with you, now we can't even stand you in the same room. You have turned into nothing but a b:censored: now over the past month or two.

You claim to represent KDF but from everything you post, its blatantly obvious that you represent nothing if what KDF stands for. Do us a favor and stay off gt5 for awhile, go out and spend time with your family. Do whatever it takes to ease your stress over trying to get everyone to do everything you do.

We aren't you, and at this point don't even wanna be.

Rant over, sorry guys.

I won't mind people on other tire types than me. As long as they stay far away from me. As soon as they start messing other people up, yes they are selfish.

Than why make it a topic? And no, not everyone used to like drifting with me. And I don't like drifting with 70% to 90% of the drifting community. So what? Not really turned into a b:censored:, just started finally saying how I really felt. Had enough of the immaturity of some people, on and off the track.

It's me that's the b:censored:, because I gave Toretto a hard time about his vocabulary and childish reaction? Frankly, last time I met him I acted completely normal, and I will remain doing so if he doesn't use that vocabulary again.

Not only Toretto though, everyone using that vocabulary, in that way, gets that reaction.

Do us a favor and stay off gt5 for awhile, go out and spend time with your family. Do whatever it takes to ease your stress over trying to get everyone to do everything you do.

KDF: Keep drifting fun. Fun, can't happen when you get rammed every 3 corners. Discussion closed :/

Besides, you have no right to tell me to stay away from GT5, really.

We aren't you, and at this point don't even wanna be.

Rant over, sorry guys.

Well, obviously that goes both ways.

I just had an argument in a drift lobby, some people defending CS tires. I'm sorry but anything besides CH is WAY too easy to control and actually HARDER to 100% combo a full lap. Too much grip.

Explain to me how that works.

I don't really care what people think of me, like SPANK, but you appear to. Honestly until you said you were in your 20s (Correct me if I'm wrong) I thought you were a 13 year old (14 really) who had no clue about drifting. But you do act as if you're 13/14.

Of course you don't have to listen to me, but at least stay away from GTP for bit.

What point of placing yourself above others = selfishness don't you understand? And you think it's me thats 14?

I act as if I'm 14? Right, how so? Because I hate people that use different types of compounds, just to be faster, and in doing so they ruin the fun for other people?

Anybody who thinks they know drifting because they drift on a video game are mistaken.

Anybody who assumes they know someone else they never met before, is mistaken too. Don't make that mistake again.

Don't comment about my drifting, so I won't comment about yours. Ingame, or real life. Deal?

You're as obnoxious as a 14 year old, or more so.

You do the exact same thing.

You have put most of your personal info on this thread or in the game. I think we know all to well.

And you can comment about my drifting all you want but remember this before you do;

1. I have a life and don't spend all my hours on a video game.

2. I may not be the best, but I enjoy every minute I put into drifting on GT5.

And I have the cure to all of this and we can close this pointless thread.

STAY OUT OF OPEN LOBBIES!

I failed to do what I wanted to do so let's just put it simply. "CHT CHT, BURN!"

1: Me neither. You still obviously don't know enough about me?

2: Yeah, if you think it's fun what you're doing, go ahead.

3: Even some people in VDC are guilty of lacking some of the common sense I tried to bring to light in this thread. It's not only public lobbies.

4: You don't know me. At all. If I would ask you if you knew my birthday, you wouldn't know. You mentioned my family... Obviously you don't know a lot about that either.

Then stop playing the game or just deal with it. You would never survive as a real drifter.

And nobody knows who you are! Last we thought, you were a twenties lesbian who has a baby on the way. You argue with your "wife" a lot. And your Facebook is filled with images taken from Google.

Have I struck a nail on the head? Lol

Not really, you're just making extreme assumptions, think you know all, and that you're better than others. But yeah, lets just have people ram each other , why not. Just throw in a couple X1's to add to the fun, shall we?

Plus, don't go personal on someone when you can't win a discussion... Looks bad.
And on top of that, don't lie. Posting false information is against the AUP, Spank.

Your rep is none of those things(trust me). :ouch: It's more like an overly opinionated, overly self confident, know it all wanna be. Who seems to put herself above everyone, and only believes her opinion matters, and is in fact, the only correct opinion.:(

Just saying :indiff:
 
Can I repeat what you just said?

Really? And you call ME childish? First, you start an unnecessary discussion. You proceed to insult me by comparing to a 14 year old, and when I ask for any kind of decent argument for those things, you start repeating after me. Grow up.

Have you actually ever seen me drift? Or talked to me? Don't judge me on what THEY want to make you think.
