Worst you've dealt with online...

[D_M]

Just over 300 HP, no mics. Not sure otherwise.

Long story behind the no mics one. Suffice it to say, I don't have a headset and most of the mic people I can hear are swearing their heads off or making stupid comments anyway.

Some people set their rooms to sport hard tires and all aids off, then say there is no to race against. Those settings severely limit the pool of drivers that they can draw from.

or deliberately sitting up their arse without passing, I hit the kick button.

Wait so you kick people for NOT ramming into them or passing?

This is a genuine clean racing tactic. Sit behind someone and dont hit them or pass them and let them make a mistake.

I use this alot online as I find people more prone to making a mistake if I just mirror them from behind, rather then try to overtake them and have them ram me off.

I also would much rather be in second place and make a clean pass near the End of the race then overtake early and get rammed off later on.

What I see online

30% drag/Nascar servers
10% cruise servers
20% regulations that suit the host
30% the connection is terrible
10% Genuine well moderated racing with headsets

I see something different

1% Cruise
2% Drag
3% Trade
4% Drift
5% Clean or Kick 👍
6% Nascar
7% Mic or kick
72% Easy money & XP SSR7

 

[RacerPaul]

Sometimes I set up rooms to suit some of my lower-powered cars like my completely stock 135i. No one ever joins
All the rooms are in the 400-500 HP range and no one joins rooms with lower limits

Sounds like my kind of room 👍 I'll send a friend request

Agreed, no doubt about it 👍

 

[scarslasher]

Probably has to be a certain race at Daytona that would NEVER start. Add to that, there was some idiot Tank Car going in reverse hitting people.

I don't mind "fun rooms", but when a room's titled to sound like a serious race, I expect a darn serious race.

 

[White & Nerdy]

I might send you one later. Drop you a line if I ever try to do that again.

Was playing on a Nurb free run earlier when someone started text chatting about "he's police" and "stop right there" etc. I assumed he was faffing about flashing his lights in peoples rears but then I got on the track with my R10, got about 1/5 of the way through the track and I see him on the side of the road. Take note, continue on a full speed. Then notice a few corners later the guy is behind me. Then feel him tap my car from behind. Then have been block me through corner, and lastly park next to my car and chat something about stopping or somesuch.

Was doing pretty well through what I got done of the lap too.

It sounds like they were playing "Cops 'N' Robbers". It would be nice if they put that in the title of the room, though, or at least let people in the room know through text chat.

If you're racing with friends (on your friend list, I assume), then why not create a lounge via community tab. That way, only people on your friends list can join the room.

Just so you know, only your friends can join your lounge directly, because only your friends have access to your 'community' tab, but your friends' friends can join indirectly by following your mutual friend into whichever room they happen to be, including your lounge.

 

[250 GTO]

I joined and all Danish game, thinking it would be fun to race with some "locals" .... In the first race some idiot slides of the track and back unto the track right infront of me, hitting me in the process. Then after the race I hear him say to the others that I can't drive for S***, and that I hit him. So I politely tell them how it happend, which makes them call me all kinds of names and then kicks me out.... I was pissed!

 

[ghsnu]

Had to deal with 3-4 ramming ass holes last night.

Apparently driving a fully tuned yellow Fiat 500 (older one) is an offensive act and let's anyone ram you :/.

It's sad that the Internet is full of immature idiots.


Forgot to add that the host left, and I became host and kicked 'em all out until the game decided to kick everyone out .

 

[GeneralJesh]

I prefer kicking asses with a pink Fiat Panda

 

[Limelight788]

This is what angers me the most about GT5 online players.

I go online and find an unrestricted room. The host has a slow car, probably because he hasn't gained enough experience yet and was not gifted a fast car. Me being the experience person I am, brings out my Le Mans car (Mostly XJR-9 LM Race Car '88) and despite fairly winning a race, instead of the room host at least restricting the game to suit them, they get butthurt and kicks me out.

Sorry but if you're not going to set restrictions and you don't have a very fast car, you can expect a more experience player to overpower you. Kicking the person out because of that instead of changing regulation (Which I would deal with either changing my car or leaving without whining, as there's always other rooms) does not make you mature, it makes you look like an immature kid who can't stand not having his way.

This happens to me running my pink Honda Odyssey. Often someone gets butthurt about getting beat in their tuned Lamborghini by a pink Minivan with less HP and kicks me out.

Its not my fault the grass is not as grippy as the track maybe you should stay off it.

 

[TuneR-]

As i'm usually on drift servers, almost every drift servers has kids with veyrons or x2010's etc. driving on the grass and spinning out and whatnot.
Is it so hard to read that it's a DRIFT server?

I believe I've seen you lay the smackdown using that thing lol

 

[GTShadowKing]

Some days ago I joined a room with some ramdom guys to do some GT500 races in Trial Mountain. Almost all of them with Calsonic GT-R's (P) and me with my Xavani Hiroto (S)
First race: I won the race cleanly, very cool race:tup:
Second race: Had troubles overtaking...still place 3rd
Then, before 3rd race, I went to free run with my Ferrari 430 Scuderia a bit to relax While I was in my second lap of free run, after the first tunnel, the host rammed me, but I didn't hit the wall of rocks by a little bit, and has he was overtaking, a trade paint with him and stayed at the front. My thoughts: "WTF do you want?! Is that so?!..."
10 seconds after this, he kicked me out
I then PM him saying: "Why did you kick me?"
And he said: "BIG ****"
Then I replyed: "Whatever"
Then he replyed again: "BIG BIG ****"
And I didn't said nothing, just went search another room, but then he peplyed again saying: "BIG BIG BIG ****"

Dear GTPers, may I ask, WTF is wrong with this guy?! It made me and then

 

[burgermaster]

I have to jump in on this comment here. Yeah there are jerks in every game, but here I notice the distinct lack of the high pitched teenage voice that I found in other games. So that means we have a large abundance of "adults" who act just like their teenage counterparts, just in a more grown up game.

Well I guess because GT is targeted at an older crowd but that doesn't mean the immature atitude will stop.

 

[funkyDucks]

I joined a NASCAR race to have fun in a well mannered serious lounge,but boy I was wrong.Everyone in the session was American and had an unhealthy hate to people who live in other parts of the world.
I am not a NASCAR fanatic so I wouldnt know the rules but I left the pits for warmup and got the head eaten of me for doing so.
Later on I was spun out and was careering to the barrier at the top of the banking.A car came up from behind and hit in to me.The driver first insulted me by saying I wouldnt be smart enough to understand NASCAR and then gave out for being up on the banking.To finish it off he claimed that I (the spinning car) hit him.

I dont hate Americans,I race with some every week,but the DieHard fans need to take a break and embrace other nationalities and cultures.

Last night:

Join a room, hear the room owner and his buddies make jokes about my PSN name. I ignore it. Have a race in a Supra, was going ok until I spun (hadn't set it up properly yet). Out came some jokes. Prepping for the next race in the SV, get kicked because I spin a few times due to being out of practice. Pathetic people, I hate my countrymen at times.

 

[Felix]

The one that has burnt itself in my mind is this one Jerk off kid who was running his mouth off at everyone in the room with "noob" "**** car". What he forgot to do is check the sensitivity of his mic because we could all hear the porn he was watching on his pc and at one point we could hear him "excercise" between races.

I think we should message all the PSN ID's of ramming idiots we have.

Random payback is random. 👍

Black lists usually end up being abused. That's why shaming is forbidden in so many gaming forums.

I sometimes run lowish pp races on Nordschleife and do get people to join even with the tires restricted to spotrs hards. Time zone thing?

 

[DEATHSARTHE]

Around 4:00AM, nothing going on online so I hit up SSR7 drags. Host was sleeping, had been sitting in lobby for a few hours prior. Room is damn near full, 14 other players and me... and I acted out how I thought Paris Hilton would drive a Veyron. Needless to say, people didn't care too much for it and before I knew it, I was trolling the **** out of the people for like 2 or 3 hours. Then I went to sleep. Probably got reported a couple times lol.

Just funny how serious people can get and I always find it interesting how far they will fly off the handle over a video game. I got everything from racial slurs (even though they don't know what race I am) to death threats, even people calling me out to fight them in their city across the country. People get so damn frustrated and all the while I'm telling them if they don't like it to go open up or join another room but they out right refuse to and continued to push themselves to becoming more frustrated lol and it wasn't like I was going anywhere because it had to be one of the most entertaining things I've done on GT5. It just takes nearly little to no effort to troll GT5 lobbies and the payoff is risky but at least guaranteed entertainment.

 

[Destinkeys]

I bet you enjoy kicking cripples, too. Nice. LOADS of enjoyment to be had there.

You'd have loved Nuremberg in the 30's...

Unfortunately I have to agree with you mate, I am an aussie but I have been living in the UK for almost 7 years now, so I show up as UK online obviously. I get all sorts of abuse about being a brit and it almost always comes from Australians, I cant be bothered replying to any of it because there really is no point so I just get on with it. But the intolerance of outsiders displayed by my fellow Australians is, quite frankly, embarrassing.

I was racing maybe 6 or 7 Australians at Monza yesterday and was rammed off the track by some clown in a Ford GT, who then outbraked himself into the first chicane and I followed him in (stupid I know, my mistake). So he gets all uppity about it and him and his mate spend the remaining 4 laps bumping and ramming me off the track before booting me from the room. I suppose at least they had the decency to let me finish the race and get the $$ and XP.

Well that is just about the most piss-poor attitude to an online racing forum I have seen yet. What a joy it must be to have the honour of a bloke like you gracing my lobby with your presence. Do us all a favour and unplug your router.👍

 

[DEATHSARTHE]

Soooo... nerd rage w/ death threats and racial slurs over a video game good? LOL. And then you question my "honour" and joke about whether or not I like kicking cripples? Don't quite get the connection between trolling GT5 and kicking cripples but harsh words to say the least.

The terror continues??? Part II on GTP forums.

EDIT:
Actually I got a lot to say about this... was just gonna let it slide and move on but it's too absurd to just let go. The people in my situation above put themselves through it. Nobody was forcing them to stick around in a room with an obviously over-bored gamer who just can't sleep. They could've just left and joined the other lobbies that were open then and there was quite a few believe it or not. But nope... they stayed logged in with their cars and did nothing but add to their own frustrations. It's interesting arguement because the people involved had just as much freedom to leave as they did to stay, and I told them this over and over... so from this perspective I couldn't stop laughing and they just couldn't help themselves. It really says more about those people than it does me.

These are the kind of people that walk the streets everyday among us in society... frustrated people who if given the chance would phyiscally harm or even kill/smite someone over actions in a video game. It's even more sickening that they put themselves through it even though the option to leave was always there. It's kind of alarming. Nerd rage is a hell of a drug.
