Worst you've dealt with online...

[Master__Shake_]

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”.

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

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.

I feel the same way when I run these people online. Whether is a "realistic hack", a "joke hack", chassis or powertrain hack, extra parts hack, whatever - it didn't come that way in the game, so its not a legit car. If PD wanted to add stage 5 turbos and triple clutch, they'd have a DLC unlocking them.

The only silver lining for these hacks, is that you can make clone cars that resemble cars never released in this game. But they're intended for A-spec and never competitively used.

PD made the Yellow bird and the Stratos and other cars handle poorly for a reason.

Slightly off topic.

Without being too rude.

They are two of the best handling cars on the game. It's a lack of skill that makes them hard to control for most people. They just need to be controlled very precisely, and a good feel for oversteer (which every good driver should have) is required. The speed that you can chuck these cars into corners is fantastic and they are the most fun cars to drive.

Also, pd didnt make them like this, thats what they are like in real life.

Painfully obvious chassis swap on a Viper ACR.

I call the person out for this, they say its just tuned.

I tell them its hacked because your wheels don't stick 5 inches out from the body and left the lobby.

Idiot.

👍 I often cruise online with one, 700HP Blackbird replica from a Yellowbird on comfort soft, and it does takes a skilled driver to tame, it may not be fast on street tire, but it does have good speed in corners, I particularly like this car on Tokyo R246, Sarthe and SSR7.

Speaking of cruise lobby, I have my patience tested when one guy kept blocking me when I tried to pass him on the straight, and when I get to be beside him he decided to ram me He did this more than 3 times, when I drive slower, he shunt me on purpose. He left after got bored trying to catch up when I was speeding He didn't even said a word the whole time, spooky ...

I made Harada Z31 500HP VG30ETT wangan midnight replica ( stock weight, no swap, just engine tuning and custom ratio on stock gearbox ), drove it earlier, after that block/ram guy left, there's this wangan fan who kept asking me to trade, I said I don't do trade, want the car, add me and it will be shared, he can borrow glitch it if he really wanted the car. He kept repeating asking me to trade ... and when I ignore him, he was very rude, calling me names and asked the host to kick me ... and I got kicked

 

[Team THRT Drift]

👍 Same.

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

I guess that's it. The satisfaction of roasting trash talkers is especially fun.

And a good source of stories for this thread

Indeed.

I was in a drag lobby (again) and I was using legit cars in the lobby. I then asked the host if I could use a hybrid.

He says: As in a Prius?

"No no, as in a hacked car."

Host: “Oh. What is it?"

To which I explode with euphoria at the fact that there is still curiosity on this subject.

“It's a Saleen inspired Mustang, around 716 HP."

Host: "I love Saleen's! Bring it out!"

So we drag race and I get to race a couple of chill draggsters. I beat a couple, but I also get beat by a lot.

At this point, a person joins and is just chillin in his 300ZX. He sees my 'Stang - Nighthawk black with black American Thrust rims - and asks if I would trade.

I said: “I'm flattered that you like my car, but it's not ‘for sale'"

He doesn't ask me anymore. Instead he goes around and asks everyone else for their cars.

To me, that's pathetic.

I again asked the host if I could bring out another car, he says “Sure, as long as you share the specs". So I did. I brought out my 2JZ 80mm Turbo 180SX of around 726 HP but HEAVY AS HELL!

I got thoroughly "roasted" in this car. It's fast, but not THAT fast. The guy who was asking for cars is now demanding for my car.

I said: "Tell you what. You beat me 2 out 3 races, and you can keep it."

After he saw that I was losing against everyone else (well, almost everyone) he decided to race me in his 300ZX.

He lost - badly. He then decided to rage by calling me a hacker and complaining to the host. The host however, was on my side and tried to calm him down, but after much profanity on the chat, and later through the mic, he kicked him.

It's not like he lost his car, for Pete's sake!

I know! People always have hilarious encounters! I only get crappy ones!

Also, your the part about the LFA in your signature is perfect. "Overpriced V10 Supra"

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I need to add you sparkytooth. Do you drag race?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Ah, the classic kid asking for someone's cars and getting mad when he can't get them. I bet it was the same kid using profanity towards me in GT5 a couple months back.

 

[sparkytooth]

If you look at them for as long as I do, you wonder why Toyota didn't just call it a Supra.

I need to add you sparkytooth. Do you drag race?

No . I'm a jack of all trades except Drag racing.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

No . I'm a jack of all trades except Drag racing.

Ah. *snaps fingers and points like a gun* Gotcha.

Now I get it. Thanks. 👍

Ahh, the "winner=hacker" principle again. How unexpected.

I know! People always have hilarious encounters! I only get crappy ones!

Same.

Now for my story. Let's just say I got kicked for no apparent reason again.

EDIT: I just came back from a "fair-play" shuffle room on Trial Mountain. It had collisions disabled. That didn't affect me, since I started from pole and was never touched. However, the other 3 racers would've taken each other out had the host enabled collisions. I eventually won by 0.618s. It was close, but I was never actually threatened.

EDIT2: Later, I took my race-winning Camaro SS to a cruise room (FYI, I tend to take the car that won the race for me to TGTT or Cote D'Azur for a "victory lap"). There were three X1s and a hacked SVT Lightning. I left.

 

[sparkytooth]

Ho do I have a story for you kids

I was just in a varied PP room, quite a rarity these days.

Venue was the Nurburgringing Nurburgring. I entered the room when it was at 525pp, I pull out an under PPed C7 (521 was the exact PP level), I struggle to get into first as the room host (The star of the show today), was in an MP4-12C, he screws up and tails me until he screws up in the mid part in the ring, I go forth until we head to the huge straight I like to call the runway. Guy in the Z in first place has a crappy gearbox that can only remotely help him in Kart Space so I catch him easily, I WAS USING A CORVETTE C7

I win the first race, second time around he kicks it up to 550pp, I pull out the ever so glorious Pink Phantom and destroy them all mercilessly with her sheer exhaust note and pinkness

After we dominate R2, he advises me that I'm lagging:

Classy Host: Sparky, you're lagging an awful lot, I'll have to ask you to leave if this continues.

Moi: Lag?

Host: Yes, lagging.

Me: But everyone else looks fine from my view.

Host: Of course not. You're a moron, that's why.

Me: No need for the hostility buddy.

Host: I didn't read what he talked about next as I was looking for a 575pp racecar and was tuning it. He most likely called me an idiot as it was the only thing I could read.

Host: You were throwing smoke and sparks all over the place.

Me under the impression that this effect was because of my tendency to drift over corners when I'm in an overpowering lead that cannot be broken even by the might of the master of the universe him/herself: It wasn't lag silly, I was just drifting through certain corners the whole race (I like to do this type of stuff, it feels so gratifying, the LFA is also quite tail happy even on RS tyres )

*When you are the one lagging, everyone is all over the place in the most ridiculous display of jaggie smoke in the history of the world of Gran Turismo, I did not see this during either race.

Hosty host: No, you even stopped and shot off really far (maybe it was this guy as no-one else complained about my lag). You don't know how lag works, don't you?

Me: Of course I do.

*I know when I lag. I'm definitely not lagging when I kick your ass twice over, first with an under PPed Vette that is supposed to be useless for online racing, and second time directly from the starting line with a V10 Supra and a 12 second lead by the end of the final chicane. Lag would have had me quitting both races out of frustration.

So Me: Let's just race.

Host: Don't tell me how to run my room.

*/)_- I wasn't telling him how to run the room, I was just trying to stop his ****

Host: Starts telling everyone to only use race cars, I don't bother asking him if I can use Ultima so I go look for a decent race car. He then starts calling people idiots /)_-

Me: It's kinda hard to find a good 575pp racecar (after ending up with my R32 TC).

*I wasn't even talking to him, it was just a comment.

Host: Enters a snob rage. Saying that he does not care if you cannot find a 575pp racecar, it isn't too hard. I had already pulled out my R32 TC.

Me: Dude, just chill

Host: Sure, I'll chill

Some other dude: Sparky you can use the power limiter (Thanks pal for the advice )

I was about to say: You don't say. But the Host kicks me

*I already had my R32 TC OUT ON THE COURSE and ready to trample all over the other 7 drivers AGAIN

I send him one final classic message:

Stay classy.

And I thought Canadians were generally nice people

Happens to be that me, being a teenager and very foulmouthed myself is more mature than this name calling A**hat.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Here we go.

I was in a drag room..... [surprise surprise]

It was titled, "Keep it realistic"

I join. It's all quiet, and fun, for the most part. I was getting destroyed left and right by AWD monsters.

There's this racer in a Challenger that wants to race me. Then, there's a guy in a 3DX Evo that wants a rematch. These two guys are fighting over who can race me and what-not, so I leave the queue and take a ride, up and down the strip. Come back down, guy in the Challenger's waiting for me. I line up to him, and I hear someone get on the mic.

This person's really pissed off. In the confusion of things he's cursing out the guy in the Challenger. Some things I won't mention. We do a run, and I win, by a landslide. (My 'Maro is meant to pull, not launch)

Now, the guy in the Challenger, thinks IM THE GUY who's swearing my butt off. He thinks I'm pissed off that he wouldn't let me race the 3DX Evo.

The guy in the Challenger, then calls me a hacker. I man up to that, and say

"The title of the room is 'Keep it realistic'. A 1300HP Twin Supercharged 455 Camaro IS realistic."

Before the guy in the Challenger can read this, the mystery-man yells

"Kick (this person). Kick him NOW!"

And the host does accordingly, from a man who swears like a middle schooler.

Mind=blown.


*Inhales*

Now, when the guy in the Challenger is kicked, the mystery-man reads my comment about my 'Maro, and says

"Camaro's suck. They, suuuuuuuuuck"

I'm thinking: "OK, to each his own opinion." I stay quiet. I want to figure this out.

When he dissed my Camaro, I knew it's not the guy in the 3DX Evo, because he practically loves my Camaro. He's respectful, honks a bit/flashes his lights immediately when he sees me.... it was cute

Now, I hear

"Y'all ain't ready for this. Y'all can't beat this."

I look at the lineup, and it's a guy in a 1300HP (he claims- probably a lot more) Supra. I watch, and this thing SHOOTS down the strip. That was not realistic at all.

So he goes around, calling people out. Dissing them if they back off, dissing people in general.

He's so cocky, that he PISSES ME OFF to the point where I want to find him and beat him to a pulp.

I decide to calm down, turn down my TV a bit, listen to some AC/DC, Credence, etc.

Out of nowhere, I hear this trash-talking, waste of oxygen, carbon life form say after being asked why he's so fast:

"It's a good tune."

To which I EXPLODE on the chat!

I called him all sorts of things. In my family we have saying "Libër Shpije" which translates to House Book. Let me explain. This means, that the person used all the fowl words out this imaginary book.

I called him EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING!

There's nothing more I hate than a hacker who doesn't admit he's a hacker, but calls it a good tune.


Dammit, my phone's battery is dying. We'll continue this in 30min.

Right. *picks up box of anger, inhales it back into system again.* [Stephen Colbert reference]

So I call him out, and he denies it every time.

Someone asks "So how do you do it?"

He responds "it's just a good tune..."

I say "BULL****" [not an actual word, therefore AUP was not violated]

The guy who asked the guy in the Supra, now turns to me and says, "But you did the same thing Z_AK"

"Yeah.... it's called hacking"

"Oh see. He say's it's called hacking."

"What's that? Hacking? No.... it's-it's a good tune."

I have never wished for a mic in my life, 'til today. He challenges me to a race. I go to line up. Im waiting for this guy. Then, all of the sudden, EVERYONE [including me] disconnects from the lobby.

If it wasn't for the AUP I would tell you guys his PSN ID. I wish that we could all just hunt him down in lobbies.

Let's just say this about my experience after touching the online mode again this night:

 

[Team THRT Drift]

@sparky, just saw it....

Haha! Me neither. Just finished my post above. In retrospect, it's just me ranting on about some guy, whom unfortunately, I did not get to shut down. PD did, for me

Hahahaha!

That video is so ridiculously 80s all it needs is a Delorean and Neon covered Mullets.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

That video is so ridiculously 80s all it needs is a Delorean and Neon covered Mullets.

Nah, just the DeLorean would do.

 

[GT5Power]

Whoa, guys. Those are some quality stories. I really enjoyed reading them! 👍

And Sparky, keep on pwning with that LFA of Pinkness.

EDIT: I got the boot again. Dunno why

 

[sparkytooth]

Indeed I will, I always do and always will. Ultima is my new 570-585 pp beast machine.

I destroyed an entire room with it last night, it was detuned from it's ultimate form even. I got DC'ed while winning though because GT5 wasn't gonna have me curbstomping everyone else more than twice

 

[GT5Power]

Oooh I got another story. I joined a room with no PP limit (mistake #1). The host was in an X2010 (Shocker.) I pulled out my LFA for the laughs and, even though I got owned, it was fun fighting the others for second. I came second -and last-. 4 players quit during the race. The host left. I changed it to LMPs at Eiger and smoked everyone by 45 seconds.

 

[sparkytooth]

Reminds me of a Nurburgring night race with a bunch of Fiat 500s and the host in an X1 trolling the racers. I pulled out a Volkser Kubelwagen instead because why the hell not?

Fun racing was had indeed. Kubelwagen only goes up to 80kmh, even slower than a fiat 500 but I could atleast push them around, I also had more torque.
