Worst you've dealt with online...

[sparkytooth]

How are the pics going Sparky?

Good luck RCG17, nothing has changed though. Same idiots as a year ago.

1. I'm driving my Ruf BTR on Chamonix full with weather. It's rather nice on snow and yes there will be photos.

#Danbait

I'll get to the LFA set later.

2. The idiots have gotten worse than last year.

 

[GT5Power]

That host was awful. .

Tell me about it. I once ran into a host that kept changing the PP so he could use a certain car. And I mean PP values like 694, 729 etc. Seriously, is it so hard to detune or tune a car according to the PP limits? -_-

And Sparky, I edited my previous post. You might wanna look at it

 

[Furinkazen]

That was awesome. That host was awful. we need to find another group and try those races again.

Host says hello! Kiwi, Sparky, my two racers

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Sparky, would you mind PMing me a tune for the LFA? Mine seems to be useless.

Good luck RCG17, nothing has changed though. Same idiots as a year ago.

Then they better be ready for me. XD Thanks though, I'm going going to do my best.
My cars will be prepared. Luckly, I've been looking through the tuning forums on here a bit and trying to get a better understanding how to properly tune a car.

[Man of Mister]

Here we go.


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.

I'd be with you all the way, if only I had the time to go Hacker Hunting.

 

[GT5Power]

Hacker Hunting? Sounds like fun. Count me in.

I'm off for the night, who knows how many thousand posts I'm gonna miss till tomorrow afternoon...

New TV show: To Catch a Hacker

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

hehehe, guess what. I have a new story already.

A cop lobby with an AFK host, full-heavy mechanical damage on, & on circuit de la sarthe. What could possibly go wrong right?

Oh, a lot can go wrong. I've been trying to do a time trial run on here for the heck of it in my M3 CSL, but I can't complete one. Why? Because assholes keep hitting me or get in the way by driving the opposite direction on the track. I was screwed the second I drove my newly tuned M3 out of the pits as some honda civic driving idiot suddenly slows down in front of me and I slow down to avoid hitting him and a jerk in an integra punts me from behind. That was attempt 1.

Attempt 2, I get far into the track and complete the warm up lap so I can do a timed lap next. I run into an asshole in a Viper SRT-10 Conv. and he starts to treat it like a race (I hate people that do this), I overtake him twice since he's bad at cornering, but passes me because he has the more powerful car. I overtake him at the first chicane again as he slows down too early with me powersliding around the corner a bit. He catches me by the second chicane and keeps up then and overtakes me until we run into a moron in a Corvette ZR1 RM that's drivng the wrong way and I hit him head on and my M3 lost a lot of it's power. I give up after a couple more corners for my timed run. The Viper driver types "F@g".

Attempt 3, just my fault. I crashed into a corner for going in too fast.

I'd be a hypocrite if I did that, but why not?

Not much probably..

“Hello? Anybody home?"

LFA Team

Actually my tune setup for my LFAs are rather basic. Ultima has everything on it while the phantom only has drivetrain upgrades. Suspension is rather basic with slightly stiffer springs, a much lower height as I don't like stock LFA height

The machine itself is a good handler all around even on sports tyres, just the right amount of manageable wheelspin. Stock weight distribution is rather nice too.

Errr... Wasn't expecting you to come in this thread Furi

Back on topic: was in a TGTT room and the host in a 1200 hp Veyron challenges me to a 1lap race. I pull out a 500 hp Lance Evo TC and win by 5 sec with the host cutting almost every corner. He calls me a hacker and kicks me...

1: You went to a TGTT lobby.
2: Those was in a fully tuned Veyron
3: He cut every corner

Yup. Just a regular Top Gear lobby.

GTP constitution Section 1 article 5 dictates that you mustn't enter Top Gear Test Track open lobbies. Tsk Tsk Kiwi

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

My matte black LFA actually kicks some ass, would do better if I was a better driver.

 

[sparkytooth]

It really bites if you're not paying enough attention.

I must add you on the PSN.

-Kids ramming others with X1's
-Excessive swearing
-People just parking their cars for hours along the track
-Getting kicked because of my flag
-A good room that unfortunately abuses Sport Soft tires or even worst, racing Soft Tires.
-Excessively tuned cars everywhere
-And when I join a room with educate people who race clean and we end up having a blast, then we all get kicked out of the server after just two beautiful shuffle races and the room disappears for good.

One of those happens to me every time I go online lately. I remember when GT5 online was a semi-decent place to go

I throw myself at the mercy of the courts. There weren't any better lobbies unless Indy drag racing is better....

Yup, I learned that the hard way today when I got into the first decent lobby in a long time.

Your charges have been pardoned on the grounds of no better rooms.

Looks like it.

Quite simple. I certainly did not see that coming. Now all I need is a Matte Pink

Maybe add me too? I'm looking forward to some good racing.

Wow. Exactly why I never join cop lobbies

 

[GT5Power]

Hmm...

I just read this thread. Someone made a post about the online servers of GT5 closing (unlikely but possible). So, if this does happen, do we say yay or boo?

We'd already be playing GT6 by then.

 

[GT5Power]

Hopefully. What will become of this thread when the online servers of GT5 close? Because some people might keep playing GT5, you know.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

We'd already be playing GT6 by then.

I know I will be. I could make even better tunes probably in GT6 than in GT5 & have more cars & tracks at my disposal. I don't see any reason for me to go back to GT5 after that.

 

[GT5Power]

Nostalgia?

 

[sparkytooth]

Problem is getting 4 LFAs in GT6. I can't really be nostalgic about GT5.

 

[GT5Power]

Just out of curiosity, why do you need 4 LFAs?

 

[sparkytooth]

I need to rebuild my entire current group of LFAs for GT6. Ultima, Phantom, Drifter and Yellow.
