Worst You've Dealt With Online...

FS7
To me that's a clear example of host that doesn't know the game very well, PP system isn't very accurate.

Back when I played GT6 online I'd always set restrictions by horsepower, weight, drivetrain, and class.
Best choice. But obviously you gotta be very careful and know which cars you want to join in the race.
One common mistake I see is hosts only setting an HP restriction. Just bring a lightweight car and boom, you smoke the competition.

For race cars restricting horsepower, weight & class is generally good enough. I wish there was a way to allow setup changes but allow upgrades, or an option to ban specific upgrades like turbo.

For road cars it can be very tricky to setup balanced races if you want something that other than one-make races. I generally use stock cars, restrict by horsepower, weight, drivetrain, and tyres, and depending on the car I ban tuning too.
 
Got a little story here.

So yesterday, I was trying to find some decent lobbies for getting gameplay. I happened across a 700PP LMP lobby that appeared clean.

As soon as I joined, the PP was raised to 750 and it was set to Sarthe II (great.). I got out my LM55 and loaded its top speed tune. The race starts and I get a head start. We enter the first corner, someone hits me. As I'm spinning I see one of the three R10s fly through the chicane. Great, this was a dirty lobby. After we get to the other side of Sarthe (and one too many jostles) I got ticked off and just told off the drivers.

Got kicked out as I was leaving the track (My GT takes upwards of 40 seconds...) and simply said thank you to the host.

So I got a bit salty, but one of the host's friends decided to be a 14 year old and sent me a PSN message.

Sums up about every public lobby in any game. "Oh n0s, IZ l00Sn 2 @ cLEEE3En drivR, L3tz Ruin AH rACC nd dstroe Du lOBy WiT tunZ of F#%$Boyyyyyz lick ME!" or the infamous "HACKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screams into mic like a dehydrated rabbit*."

Why is it that I can't help but read this in the voice of Jar-Jar Binks from Star Wars?

Thanks, moderators. I'll keep this in mind going forward.
 
"Quick Match Rhapsody" by TeamCZRRacing - adapted from Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen


Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a Quick Match

No escape from reality

Open your eyes

Look up to the screen and see

I'm just a clean driver, I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go

A little high, little low

Anyway the race goes, doesn't really matter to me, to me



Mama, just reported a man

He put his bumper to my back

“Had no brakes,” and now I’m dead

Mama, race had just begun

But now he’s gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooo

This idiot smashed me off

If I don’t ragequit this time tomorrow

Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters



Too late, the race is done

Sends shivers down my spine

Knuckles aching all the time

Goodbye everybody I've got to go

Gotta leave you all behind to race each other

Mama, ooo (anyway the race goes)

I don't want to die

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all



I see a little silhouetto of a man

Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the Gran T’rismo

Dirty drivers and lightning very very frightening me

Gallileo, Gallileo,

Gallileo, Gallileo,

Gallileo Figaro - magnifico



But I'm just a clean driver and nobody loves me

He's just a clean driver from a nice family

Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come easy go will you let me go

Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go

Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go

Bismillah! These races are too short let me go

Will not let you go let me go (never)

Never let you go let me go

Never let me go ooo

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go

Beelzebub has a game mode put aside for me

For me

For me



So you think you can smash me and spit in my eye

So you think you can crash me and leave me to die

Oh baby can't do this to me baby

Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here



Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Nothing really matters

Anyone can see

Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me



Anyway the race goes

I'm just a poor boy
With a ten second penalty...
Cause I'm easy in
Keep the flow
But you've come from high
Down to low

EDIT:

Anyway the hairpin goes,
Doesn't really matter...
Too deep
Tooooo deep



@TeamCZRRacing You've found a gold mine!

What bugs me the most is the jerks in the quick matches that seem to have figured out the parts of the cars they can ram with and not get a penalty. I've seen more than a few, usually in GSX/R's that can give someone a huge punt and keep in going.
