Dannyharwood Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ok races on gtao can be fun, but it isn't fun when people are sore losers and start to go the wrong way deliberately and try and crash into you, happens a lot in criminal records. R* should make a thing where if you are going the wrong way for a certain amount of time it resets your car and if you keep doing it kicks you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XJpostman Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Point to points eliminates this. I know, I know... circuits are more fun but maybe throw a point to point every so often just to screw with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Roc Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Ok races on gtao can be fun, but it isn't fun when people are sore losers and start to go the wrong way deliberately and try and crash into you, happens a lot in criminal records. R* should make a thing where if you are going the wrong way for a certain amount of time it resets your car and if you keep doing it kicks you Your solution is absolutely what they should implement, resetting them after they've gone the wrong way for x amount of seconds; then boot em if they do it again. This is why I usually leave a race lobby if there are 3 or more palyers in a same crew; although it is gratifying when those losers commit to wasting theirs and our time with such a chump tactic and you still win. My middle finger celebration never feels better than times like that....plus air thrust is another great option to celebrate with now!

Yes its a crew, check us out on the social club if you want, or just contact me directly. My gamertag is the same as my profile here. And yes, it is a shame there are a lot of drivers that play this game especially in public lobbies. But there are also a lot of good drivers too, you just have to know where to look.

Being in an invite only lobby makes a difference, inviting players is way more affective if your in a public lobby already when trying to host a job. Also I have the default setting as closed, and need to open it up before inviting others, if I accidently click to invite all before opening it up it doesn't seem to invite anyone even after you open it. Therefore be in a public lobby and only invite after you changed the setting to open if you also have the default setting to closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar7in Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So I'm doing a race I know well, on my own to test out my lap times in my new Turismo and a guy enters the race in an Adder. This is refreshing as sometimes its hard to get people into created races. 20 seconds into the race and I'm ahead when the guy decides to repeatedly ram me into a wall and then pull ahead. pipping his horn. Anyway I catch the guy up and line up to pass him but he employ's blocking lines to stop me passing. Then he tries the same ramming sh*t again so I take revenge and send him into orbit. over a bank. After a full minute of trying to catch up I'm so far ahead the guy quits the race after calling me every sh*tty name under the sun. Childish I know but I always try to race clean as its so much better if you beat someone fair and square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right on by the way with the payback; I like to race straight up as well (unless it's the final checkpoint and we're battling for the win, then anything goes) but if someone is trying to spin you out and you get the chance, you have to get them back.

Mar7in Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I love racing despite all the arseholes do you not miss racing? Thanks for the bumper tip.

I've gotten this alot also. got in a random race lobby a few days ago (I always go to random lobbies as none of my friends play GTA) , 2 other players were in there and the host set it to GTA race. both cars immediately spun me out and went to the first rocket spawn and stopped. as soon as I past, they both blew me up... went to the next checkpoint, stopped turned around and waited on me... repeated through the whole race... and then there are the idiots that just keep ramming you for no reason... now I can't say that I've never hit someone (usually happens when slipstream kicks in and I'm too close or too boxed in to slingshot), some people act like they have to slam into every player in the race everytime they have the possibility... and then if they don't get first keep going back and forth trying to hit every player actually trying to finish the race....

MadHaTT3R Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 but this is gta a game of no rules do as you want , its not a racing game , What kind of game is it? It IS a racing game. And a shooting game, flying game, RPG, etc. There is GTA races for those who enjoy carnage and there is standard racing (which rewards you for clean laps no less) and even Rally races for those who enjoy technical racing. It is what it is, so everyone can get enjoyment out of it. I always see people saying "Its GTA", but what does that even mean? That you have to be on edge every second? If so thats to bad, because it really does offer so much more than that to the player open to other ways of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sick of trying to host races but get hardly anyone to join yet if i join a lobby it always fills up Is there any tricks to getting more people to join ?? Its on both consoles bud, just look on the social club I'm sure you'll find it easily. I dont crash into people when racing an i hate when people do it to me or spin me out , but this is gta a game of no rules do as you want , its not a racing game , people in races will sabotage for fun an trolling , try forza or gran turismo if you want a real race Yes it is GTA and being so it is expected that chaos will ensue because it almost always will. But it has a great potential to be a good racing game, its the beauty of GTA. It can be all these things at once. But its also a its downfall in a way because the lines between these mindsets players get into is often disrupted by others who just want to dick around. I honestly expect a lot of dirty driving when playing without my friends, so I'm always kind of planning on how I am going to go from defensive to offensive driving during a race, unless of course the other drivers are playing clean. Bottom line; its the nature of the beast. If you play with likeminded players then trust me, this game shines bright, but when your alone and unafraid then things can get ugly. I've gotten to where I can accept a bit of shenanigans here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
