Worst you've dealt with online...

I seen this a while back. I didn't know if to laugh or be angry at the immature community.

Could you repost that, but just blur out some of the letters in... yeah that word.

And you will also see hosts kick people that are winning, although the host will still lose.

I have never, ever, ever (and I'm not exaggerating) been kicked from a room for winning or doing well. And I've been in a lot of rooms. I'm sure it's happened, but someone that will kick you during a race would have just kicked you after the race if that feature wasn't available, and in that case, I'd rather not waste any more time than I have to in that particular room. I don't see this as an issue.

Plus, what Morgoth said:

Power can always be abused. This is not a reason to force the room to put up with a troll for an entire 30+ minute race or to force the host to have to completely abandon the same race(or beg people for a restart) in order to deal with it.

Pause game, kick jerk, resume race with only a few seconds lost. I sincerely hope they add that feature in the next installment.

Racing on the Nurburgring 24 Hour, in a 6 lap LMP race. Me and second place leading by 5 seconds. Keep in mind that I am driving a full HP Mercedes Sauber with half of the tires left. Second comes beside me and nudges my back end so hard that I end up wheel spinning in 5TH gear and losing it. Finished in 9TH. When I confronted him his reply was simply "lol"

This is why a rating system would be awesome. I was leading in a race like this at Circuit de la Sarthe and a lapper took me out in Arnage with 2 to go trying to be a hero. Finished 4th. He finished 13th.

So was in a gt500 room tonight entered as a race was in progress so made a tea and sat and watched the race all seemed pretty clean fast racers odd nudge here and there but nothing bad.
Next track selected was Fuji (my strongest track)
So selected my hsv weider and started the qualifying (10mins from the hosts message) first flying lap I put in a 1:33:1 clear 2 seconds from the next guy so straight away I get a post on chat screen saying I'm a hacker (lucky friend was in room to back me up to say I wasn't) so straight away host changes room settings to recommend cal sonics so again do a lap and I'm a clear 1.5 seconds ahead.
Now the host changes room to grid based on last race so I start at the back.

Race starts I pick my way through cleanly up to 3rd before I have to pit then put in a few fast laps and jump them when they pit gets to lap 14 coming on to home straight the host drops out and types a message saying bye bye and kicks me.

Clearly can't stand having someone beat him fairly

Damn, that's annoying. Same has happened to me in a room titled "Fast racers" In first by 7 seconds and the next thing "You have been kicked from the lobby"

 

[a15kko]

I'm afraid to go online from reading most of this thread. lol Afraid of being that guy that messes up the whole lobby for everyone

Guy rants on about Sebastien Vettel being terrible and him only winning because he has the best car and says its wrong.

Proceeds to pull out a McLaren F1 GTR Racer in a 650pp room.

Proceeds to lose to 3 RX7 TCs.

Proceeds to rant that were in better cars and leaves...

👍 thanks

The real problem is that kicking someone requires the host to leave the track, lose their position on the track, their lap time etc. PD needs to implement a kicking feature that allows hosts to pause on the track and kick someone without having to go back to the lobby. If hosts can kick on the fly so to speak, I think you'd find a lot more of these clowns gone a lot quicker.

Or on the fly like the settings HUD?

Kick everybody who's in front of you...

...then kick the ones who passed you while you were busy kicking the frontrunners, etc. until eventually you're the only one remaining in the lobby.

Huh. And I always thought that the McLaren F1 GTR was the best 650PP car in the game.

 

[Firehound427]

I figure it's not just about the car, it's also about the driver, an example which seems to be shown here.

 

[R5]

Exactly. The only reason we won is because the track had corners. He crashed 17 times at the 'Ring. We bumped lightly once.

Geez.

Well uh... go Mazda?

EDIT: You are bi-winning since you have a quote from me and the lyrics to a Daft Punk song in your signature.

he must be dumb or something because the car doesnt make the racer win.its the racer itself.

Try explaining this to people who do nothing but drag. LOL

 

[grashopper]

It's a lot of both. I'm sure if you stuck Vettel in one of the less financially well off teams he would win far less. And if you stuck another driver in his car I don't think you would see quite as much success. You need a good driver and a good car to compete...unless the rest of the drivers are a bit crap.

 

[Ninners]

Joined a cop lobby on London,somebody is throwing a fit after he was told to change car for speeding multiple times, he was cussing and swearing and foul mouthing with spaced out words to avoid the swear filter for 30mins and he didn't stop, the host decided to keep him there as it was funny to watch his stupid messages pop up every 20secs, eventually he left after 30mins of swearing, he didn't even drive for 30mins, he spent all his time on the text box, people these days, it's just a game

 

[vovillia]

I so had it with the crap I dealt with online that I just stopped, I either had to baby sit 10 yos who can't drive and crash everywhere, or on a rare occasion, I find a decent group to race and get kicked out because my slow connection made them all butt hurt

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I decided today to try out my newly tuned chrome orange Elise 111R on a nurburgring track lobby; it was fine and even was having a nice drive with someone in a Lancia Delta, but then hell happens. Some idiot in a hacked Takata NSX shows up on the 2nd lap and lags all over the place. It's hard to enjoy any driving when something like that appears to rams you several times since he can't properly drive his overpowered car. He then left a bit later and I resumed my driving. I have said this once and I'll say it once more; I HATE hacked cars.

The ridiculously overpowered hacked cars are a complete nuisance due to abuse of hacking powers, but hacked cars that have well programmed drivetrain, engine and chassis swaps or even wing deletion can be tolerable if you're around people who know what they're doing. I don't like hacked cars either but I at least learned to live with the ones that are tolerable.

I have no problem tbh with the normal, realistic hacks. I'm just referring to the one's that give cars as much or more speed than a stupid redbull x1 and are driven obnoxiously.

Agreed. Some people will go to stupid lengths to ruin the experience of others for the sake of their own amusement.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ones up to 1,000 hp I have no problem with, its the ones with the X1 power, handling and acceleration that I HATE. Half the people I see using them can't keep them on the track for less than 5 seconds, then they proceed to use other people as their brakes since they can't stop them.

 

[R5]

I heard that you can use engine swaps again. Is it true?

Anyway, had a brawl with 1 Audi R8 and 2 Veyrons while I was too in a Veyron (the R8 and one 'Ron were in Rams hitting people in the lobby, so I used the Veyron to counter their Rams) and they eventually gave up and resorted to Fiat 500s. But one didn't and he tried ramming me (now in a Minolta) in his Mustang Mach 1. Couldn't stop laughing.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Oh God, I'm in a drag lobby with some kid claiming they're livestreaming us to YouTube (the channel they supplied does not exist... ). They're typing in BLOCK CAPS and continually claiming they're trolling us.
