Worst you've dealt with online...

[Mac K]

I was hosting a Super GT lobby last night with a few friends and a few GTP members showed up over the course of the evening, it was great fun until this guy decided to drive backwards and ruin everyones race, I paused my game to ask him what he was doing and he continued to ram me and everyone else.. Needless to say he was kicked shortly after. After that I setup a 450 PP lobby and was having some surprisingly clean races until the Nurburgring was voted.. I love the track, but it's impossible to race on if everyone isn't atleast trying to be clean. I was running in 5th trying to get past the guy in 4th who was driving down the middle of the track, I honked at him twice and flashed my lights to let him know I needed a bit of room, yet he continued to drive down the middle, he eventually moved over so I got closer and he turned into me, sending me spinning and causing me to ruin2 other people's races... Last night was a blast online, it's just a shame that you get those people that ruin it for everyone every now and then..

Why the butthurt?



Level has nothing to do with it, you can't see each others levels anyways...

Sorry for double post BTW.

You can.. in the lobby menu, hover over an ID on the right side, press triangle and you can view the profile info! 👍

I was on La Sarthe, speeding down the straight when what was practically a wall of drag racers appeared. We had a head on collision inadvertently, taking out 2 guys in Enzo's. Luckily they didn't have mic, because they then went ape. The next 10 minutes was spent laughing my head off as they attacked me. I escaped and further down the track, and parked in front of the pitlane entrance. I put my handbrake on, and as try came up behind me, I paused, and they sped right through me, and into the pits. I floored it in the other direction, and that was the last I saw of them...

I love that kind of cleverness. I did that to a friend who deleted me afterward. He went ballistic on his mic and i kicked him for . He cried in a voice chat later my other friend started.

This is certainly not the worst I've encountered but I can't remember when was the last time I was so pissed at this game.

We were racing a 2 lap race around nordschleife (sports hard) and everyone was talking of taking Ferrari California as a sort of a one make race. Well I decided to have none of that, saw the PP was suitable so took out my Yellowbird and decided to challenge the fancy pancy soft-top ferraris.

Race started good, I got first place on the grid and immediately it started raining (which made me even more reassured I had made the right choice given that the others had their roofs down ). I kept everyone behind for the first half of the lap by trying to keep the car straight and powering down the straigts (that thing really flies). Braking into most corners the person behind me hit me on the back which sent my heart racing every time but I managed to hold it and keep first place (I admit I had to brake a bit earlier than normal with that car. No-one had any ABS either.)

Approaching the corner before Ex Mühle the french guy hit me again but this time a bit harder which sent me flying to the wall and I lost two places. This made me quite annoyed so I quickly jumped back in to the stream of cars (a very close race between 9 competitors) and was really looking forward to the straight bit a couple corners later. When we got to the straight I put all my might into my right foot pressing the pedal as hard as I could and the Bird was really flying past the two people who passed me and I was back in first place.

The twisty section before the straight was really tough. I was sweating and my hands were trembling as I tried to contain my right foot, not to press the throttle too much since I knew I couldn't afford to slide at all. At some point I lost it a bit and a car got alongside me but luckily there was just a bit of a 3 second straight there and I powered past him to keep first.

Finally I got to the last straight and looking at my rear view mirror I saw a line of Ferraris trying to get a tow but confidently I stepped on the gas and actually left them behind though they were slipstreaming all the way. Approaching 300km/h at the end of the straight I got a big moment when I almost lost it braking into the last corners but I had built a bit of a lead on the straight so I managed to hold first place though I was almost in a 90 degree angle while braking.

Second lap started good but the french guy was hitting me more and more. At times I was really struggling to keep it straight but I was still holding first until Ex Mühle came up. The guy hit me again sending me on the grass and I lost 4 places. At this point I was really pissed but I had to keep calm and contain myself not to lose too much time, I got back on track and got to the chase at the half way straight again. I managed to pass the french bastard and got third place. At this point I thought I'd just hold the distance and power past everyone when the straight came but the frenchie wasn't done yet, hitting me yet again sending me to the grass again.

In the end I finished 5th. All the sweat and blood I had poured into that race was for nothing. I felt like I had ran a marathon and all the while the french guy had probably been sitting on his couch fiddling with his controller, and thanks to him there was nothing I could show for all that work.

 

[WORBZILLA]

Basically all the people who get the Redbull out in drift lobbies and think it's funny to ram people.

 

[finnracer]

OK8 - I have had quite a few problems with the xxxx and ramming (I'm hope this dosent apply to any xxxx members!!). Must be really frustrating especially when you are driving a clean race in the Yellowbird(How did you achieve that!?).

For some reason the xxxxx have been pissing me off for some time online now 👎

Joining in with this 'nationality debate'. I joined a room named 'Stock cars Clean' hosted by a French chap. The key part is the title was written in English. As soon as I join I here him say what I interpreted as "Oh no an English b******". He then kicked me :/ Not only is he racist but he's also ironic, taking into consideration the 'key part' of it all.

Btw for anyone who doesn't know the French and English have quite a substantial rivalry.

I was on the Top Gear test track the other day. Minding my own business, just trying out some tunes I had done. I then find myself getting rammed for no apparent reason. I ignore him, but he still insists on ramming me. I asked him to stop. In return I get called a "dirty canuck" (which I get called a lot when playing GT5 online). I left and later asked him why he did what he did and he said " You were bothering other people, I just put you in your place". Some people have some nerve. I ignored him as I don't like to waste my time arguing with ignorant racist people online.

 

[Bobert power]

The japanese hate me now. I was plaing a race with some nice people from Japan. We decided to use K-cars, but i didn't have one. So i asked if i could detune a tank car, and the host agreed. Turns out they couldn't drive so i won by 2 laps on Fuji. They were MAD. They claimed they were going to kamikaze my house when i was sleeping. I was mad and upset because i love Japan, but these people were crazy. I doubt i will ever play GT5 for awhile since i got F1 2011. The gt5 online has gotten to my head alot.

 

[Downhill Dino]

... They could always be from another country. It is possible to make your account with a false country. I have never heard of such Japanese people to say that!

it is kind of like killing people for entertainment in ancient rome. they wanted a little provocation.

 

[nitrorocks]

This happens sometimes. Last night we were all in LMP and GT cars, and this person joined in a Fiat 500 and another guy in a stock Citroen C4. We started the race and they tried crashing us, but they would miss and they went into the wall head on and flew about 39 feet in the air with dust. Flying Fiats and Citroens. I was laughing so hard!

No we won't. We can all see what the cheetah in your avatar did with the last one who broke that rule

As for online. Since the ABS restriction is available I've been hosting some lobbies with it off so I could get used to it. Had some fun races until random people started joining. The first got in the room and a couple seconds later he said: ''put ABS on''. So I said:''No, I'm practicing with it''. ABS-off even was in the room description. The race started and he entered the first corner without braking ramming a couple of people and left.

Then another one joined and told me I had to put the tyre restrictions off and ABS on. I kicked him before the race started because I didn't want to have another first corner crash and my PSN got spammed with hate mail. Probably three or four more joined and told me what I had to do.

I get that people don't like certain restrictions but why don't they just find another lobby or create one off their own.

Many of us aren't, we may mention the certain nationality but it's only to give a bit more detail to our event

It's maddening bro but a percentage of the global adult population seem to never develop mentally past about 12yo and act accordingly... Sad but true.

Okay then.
I was in this lobby: 600pp CLEAN when the host changes the restrictions at the last second and gets in a X2011 but because he sucked at driving he lost to my Audi R8 by 5 seconds. Kick.

You used a Tank Car in a K-car race?

 

[GV27]

I just entered a public room and suddenly, even before the room was loaded, I hear a kid's voice: "Oh he's Spanish!", followed by a teenager voice saying "Kick him". Yeah, I got kicked even before I got in. That was quick!

 

[GReeK_W1ZaRd]

Hmm....well. I believe the worst players all gather in Top Gear Test Track. I stopped racing online with strangers, I race only with my friends. We understand each other better. Im sure there are some nice, clean drivers out there. However, for no apparent reason, French people seem to hate me....a lot. We were racing in LMP cars in Circuit De La Sarthe, then we are on the straight and he ramms me into the wall. After the race was over, I got kicked.

See thats the funny part, but i was clean driving. They kept getting in my way to make it look like i rammed them.

Damn kids, eh?

 

[MustangCobra95]

My friend just told me that he encountered a kid watching porn with his mic on. He said him and everyone in the lobby could hear disturbing sounds...

I haven't done much online racing (largely because I almost always lose when I race online), but I've been lucky when I have -- the worst that happened to me was getting kicked from a lobby after I spun off the track at La Source during the first lap of a wet race at Spa.

Here is a helpful idea. Look for rooms that appeal to you and see who is on the room list. If you see anyone you know, dont join.

I hate people like you. What is so hard about allowing driving aids? Let people use what ever driving aids they want, and if they drive dirty kick them. If you want to practice without it, you don't have the right to disallow people of their racing preference. Also, if people want GT5 to be a simulator, allow ABS and traction control, real life cars have those.

What's so hard about going to a different room?

 

[masterrawad]

people don't make good rooms anymore. even if someone makes a decent room, hardly anyone joins. this is what i see in gt5 just a few hours ago:

-DR@G nO GaYrOns (13/16)
-JDM meet no 🤬 (4/16)
-Trade/Chill/ no 🤬 (15/16)
-DRAG JDM HONDA MEET (10/16
-LMP @ La Sarthe (1/16)
-Drag/Chill/Do watever (8/16)

I had a bad one the other day. So I joined the lobby at high speed ring just before the current race ended, and jumped in my acr viper, as the others were in high powered street cars. So after a couple of them left before the next race, it was just myself and the host in his mclaren stealth.

Race starts and I'm in the lead and can hold it, but he caught me in the corners. I stayed on the inside leading up to the s bend to block the inside pass, and he tries to go on the outside and fails. He tries again at the final hairpin, and runs into the wall. He continues to try to divebomb me for the next lap, until he jumps out and kicks me.

Not once did I make contact with him, or swerve over the track to block him.
