Worst you've dealt with online...

[Team THRT Drift]

Everyone is OK with this.

Let's not turn this into a hybrid whining thread.

*Off in a corner*
Can the 'Stang's join this?

So my latest hybrid, a RUF BTR with 430HP, only customize the low rpm turbo and engine tuning, heavier at 1379kg, 4 speed gearbox like real life 930 turbo, basically a replica of this :



less potential, less PP ( same HP ) and slower than equivalent "original" 430HP RUF BTR due to 4 speed long gearing, is a trash dirtbag cheating hacker car

Guys, cut it out!! Seriously /)_-

Seriously Guys, this is the "worst you dealt with online" thread, not the discuss hacked cars or tuning thread.

Well, this is all I got:
*joins cruise lobby* *people are drag racing* -_- and some guy is blasting his fricken annoying music through his microphone. See, this is why I hate lobbies that allow mics. This and the fact I can't play my custom music.

I also hate lobbies with mics allowed because you have the risk of people shouting profanities when have family members around, annoying children, and probably the worst: people that use the PS Eye mic, which picks up every single sound in your house (Stupid yipey dogs, crying children, family members screaming in a foreign language, etc).

Read my whole post, it's an example of how some lobbies are nice, some are just plain rude.

At first, I could only see one paragraph. I was about to make a post saying it belonged in the Hybrid Showcase Thread, but I saw the rest of your post.

Oh god, is that why I could hear some annoying noises from some mic users? Jeez, I don't want to hear this nonsense when I'm racing.

ATTENTION: This is a no troll feeding zone. Thank you for your cooperation.

I thought you added me to your ignore list. Isn't it against the AUP to lie here?

Exactly, hackers have taken over this thread.

My post was about the worst I’ve dealt with online. That is, new people joining my lobby and accusing people (long time friends) of being hackers.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

After 3 lobby joins, I quitted the game. Too many drag racing, "hacked cars only", "cops", & stance cruise lobbies flooding the server and I can't find one normal race lobby.

Racing lobbies diminished a long time ago. Way before hacking started.

Sorry, didn't see your added paragraph later on

Was busy on the Jalopniks.

 

[Com Fox]

One time my ears were in real pain by someone making some annoying noise when I was busy in a drag room (it sounded like nails on a chalkboard ).

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I was in a cruise room a couple of days ago. It was titled Real Cruisers Only. I joined, and it was EXACTLY that. I had a lot of fun. The host and a couple of cruisers had mics on and played music that for once, I actually enjoyed through someone's mic. It was the first time in ages that I had such a great time. The guy was a good host, kept everything in check, and we all had a blast in the tunnels

Then, I joined a drag lobby.... killed the mood. Complete ruckus, chaos, and general cacophony. Typical, of a drag room nowadays.

 

[Gravitron]

You “realistic hybriders”, aka trashy dirtbag cheating hackers, are really starting to have an impact on those of us who just want to enjoy PD's GT5 online.

Again, last night someone, a good racer, someone I might even consider friending, leaves my room in disgust, because he thinks the race winner is a hacker. I try to tell the guy I have known this person forever – long before the hacking started, and they were always that fast. But why should he believe me when there are so many hackers online?

This is becoming more and more common. Don’t tell me (Johnny) that this has anything to do with anyone’s ignorance. If anyone is ignorant it is you hackers, thinking that your “realistic hybrids” are ok. They are not. PD made the Yellow bird and the Stratos and other cars handle poorly for a reason. It is PD’s game.

You hackers are by far the worst thing to happen to GT5 online. BY FAR!

I can kick a crasher from my room. I can tell a noobie to use more brakes in my room.

There is not a damn thing I can do to convince someone I run a clean room when they are so used to seeing rooms full of hackers.

I realize you're venting about a personal issue that recently occurred, but do not generalize and stereotype with such scorn,
the above is pretty close to abusive behavior.
I'm pretty sure the few hybrid'ers in this thread are not hackers.
There *is* a difference, but you've lumped them all into one bucket.
Hackers are cheaters, hybrid'ers are not.

Their intent and motives are polar opposites from each other.
And since GTP has taken the stance that only the methods of altering cars outside the game's parameters is taboo, you'll just have to endure.

Whoa, I missed two pages overnight

Chrunch, please calm down. What about Orido's hybrid BTR that's slower than the regular one? What about the slammed cars that do not differ in performance from the original ones? Also, hybrids aren't everywhere. I haven't seen any since September. Thanks Gravitron for having the situation under control.

/hybridtalk. I hope.

@Team THRT Drift: Lesson learned. Never join drag rooms.

And yet, I still come back. I don't know why.

 

[GT5Power]

Much like me. I keep going to "clean" rooms even though I know I'm going to experience the dirtiest race of my life.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

👍 Same.

Sure they're terrible in every respect but it's great fun roasting suckers

 

[GT5Power]

And a good source of stories for this thread

 

[Voodoovaj]

Hybrid hate IS the worst I've dealt with online. That's my point. Everyone needs to run their own race and stop believing themselves to be unbeatable. The derogatory language used in lobbies in unnecessary.

This game isn't perfect. It has massive flaws. The Yellow bird has been given a crappy chassis because tires were crappy in 1986. Put modern top notch rubber on it and see what happens. I find it hard to believe that a Porsche 911 became such a legendary race car because of it's inability to turn corners

I know someone who can drive Yellowbird on Comfort Hard at Green Hell pretty quick and no aids, including no brake assist. Maybe only some can tame it

I had some good times at cruise lobby - SSR7 last time I was online, the host was considerate, he set 1200HP limit and 1000kg weight limit, damage light, and sports soft tire limit, hybrids allowed, we do some rolling drag at the tunnel, some chat, generally nice people. My Devil Z replica ( Japan's Yellowbird ) gets some good words too, I drove it strictly with comfort soft to stay true to it's roots, did some high way battle with it against hybrid and non hybrid with sports soft tire - good fun. There are also times too when some new guy insulted my car in disgust The usual cheater name calling etc, they don't want to see my S30 side by side with them . If only they drive it, they'll know it's very hard to handle, 600-800HP L28 TT 5speed on just over 1000kg and street tire ...

No doubt. The entire "if it adds PP it's unbeatable" crowd tend to be the ones that are rude, poor drivers, and most vocal about anything that might call their prowess into question.

I think I'll just change my entry message to "light weight and wings are for the birds"

 

[GT5Power]

Guy saying "ntino ur a girl". I wish I could pop out of his TV and punch him in the face.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

Well I just had to kick another integrity challenged hacker. He said he only did “realistic hacks”.

I said “there is no such thing as a realistic hack”. “a hack is a hack”.

One of my friends typed “exactly” and “lol” when he saw the guy leave the room.

It is kind of a shame, he had been there quite a while, he was a clean racer, the room was borderline full.

I haven’t decided whether or not to PSN block him.

He didn't use the term hybrid, so I can’t say he learned that bad habit here.

I wish PSN or PD would offer some kind of Terminix service.

 

[Ninners]

Along as he isn't bothering you on the track or lobby, I don't get the reason why he had to kick him, yes it's a realistic hack but that's harsh.

Every six minutes a race starts. The guys that qualify take it seriously. If they see you in a Stratos, they are going to expect you to be driving a Stratos. Not some Frankencar from hell.

 

[GT5Power]

I met someone who was spinning all over the place. In front of me. It was on the Nurb, so I couldn't just swerve out of the way. That cost me more than 10 seconds.

EDIT: I joined a shuffle room and expected good racing and courtesy and blah blah blah. The host said: 'hi im the host good bye". I was kicked. Seriously?
