Yeah, they definitely make it too easy to recover SR. What may help is to add 100 points to the SR range (199 max). Keep S at a 20 point range, but double the points range for A, B, C, D, & E. 💡
.I would expect a 99 SR "clean driver" to have less than one incident per 4 lap race, so at least this small part of the system is correctly calibrated in my opinion.
Until the clean 99SR driver is subjected to a few bumps and a dive-bomb in one race. Then he is dropped into SR hell where he can't prevent other incidents unfolding courtesy of the surrounding drivers. And now he has to regain maybe 50 SR in races where a CRB is what,6 SR?
Your SR is -5 for quitting,what you earned or lost before quitting is yours too.
back in GT 5/6 me and my group of friends would judge weather or not you stay in the room by days on the game and miles driven. if they had low amount on both they were removed from the room. wondering if it would be possible to group people that way. So your an A/S but as stated you get boosted up quickly when your ranked lower say even you put down fast laps in qualify its different when your in a crowd and actually on track racing. you have to be able to adjust on the fly breaking points , different lines, knowing who you can trust or who is super aggressive and may sprint away but come back to you later ETC......
As far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't even display the other drivers' ratings before the race. It's pretty damn irrelevant.
there is so much that can be done to rattle another player. But lets face it the really good / fast players dont get rattled. You always tell an over aggressive driver they are over aggressive all the time even when up by over 2 seconds they never let off I try and remember who they are and just wait till they screw up and ease on by for the win. i always like to see if i can rattle somebody by ducking out in a hard braking turn just to make them think a dive bomb is coming. Over aggressive guy goes in to deep and misses the corner. (without me hitting them) really good guy stays on his line and continues to leave me in the dust LOL......but this all comes with experience / time on game not a ranking you can manipulateWe did the same with my group of friends. When I host a room in Sport I do the same. If I get complaints about a specific driver I'll sit out the next race and watch them then decide on a verdict, but generally speaking it's best to have people with more experience than those with less to get a better shot at a clean race (save alt accounts and such but those aren't the point).
And onto the next point, the qualy to race difference is absolutely true and something most people don't get. For instance, surely the Audi R8 is the quickest car around Nürburgring GP (for example), but a V12 Vantage can ruin your day because if it's driver is good enough to keep up with you, the Vantage's engine plus slipstream will do his job for him and he will eventually get past unless you put on a masterclass of defensive driving. I like to go into races with a clear mindset, zero expectations, and see everything with the good side. Helps my psyche tremendously as I'm not shoving myself down but rather pushing myself up, for example if you're in a lobby where the pole sitter is .8 or a second faster than you, and you're in 2nd place, then you can think in one of two ways.
Either "wow, that's quick, I can't keep up with that". Or "I've been put in this lobby for a reason, I can win it". Especially if you play your cards right.
Also helps if you don't get divebombed in the first corner but that's besides the point.
I was a long time GT Planet LurkerWhen I got into the Dailies to accomplish those trophy goals, I had to find a group to vent with, then I saw your thread so jumped in the week before last I think it was. And yes indeed, hope to see you in race in the near future!
I still don’t have those trophies either, I should really try to go for them one of these days. What race have you been doing? I’ll be jumping on a little bit here.
Back to top-ish split of SR (94/99). Not gonna bother anymore.
I mean, it's all fun and games and laughter and "wow how could they do that? Ha ha ha", until you're ACTUALLY trying to get the SR to go UP and not down. Who the actual 🤬 thinks it's a good idea to have 1 bump cost you 10 SR, in a race that gives you 6 maximum? And the fact that a clean race bonus is not a bonus, it's just a pat in the back? You get 5 SR by crossing the line from what I've gathered, no SR downs but no CRB. With CRB you get 6 SR. The 🤬? That´s like giving a waiter a $0.25 tip and saying you gave them a tip and smiling like you´ve done something good while they look at you like you´re a 🤬 🤬!
When you have to race like this to every person that decides to outbrake you into turn 1, and not being able to race hard simply because the axe may fall on your head while PD say "oops" in every race, and panic everytime there´s a car in your rear view mirror (will they divebomb me? will they try to outbrake me? Should I just let them go?), and in fact, looking at the rear view mirror with one eye and keeping one eye on the road, it´s not enjoyable. And even then, I´m not at 99 SR, because I bumped the brazilian because he braked way too early and I got an SR down, pretty much telling me 2 out of 4 races I´ve done to regain SR were pointless and I went down to A again!
Absolute marvel, this game and it´s stupid SR system. Marvelous. Why do they even take SR that seriously at PD? Why is SR linked directly to DR preventing you to progress or hitting you for racing incidents? Just... Just do the 🤬 away with it. 🤬 the SR system. Just do away with it. Have shared fault and contact points like I´ve said some time ago in the penalties thread (pretty much 20 contact points per week, if you reach the 20 you are forced to sit out for 6 hours. Do it again and you get 12 hours, then 18, then 24, then a week, then a downright ban from the game), and let people race each other hard and fair since they know that shared fault will penalize them both if they´re not careful. With the SR system you might as well be just practicing social distancing, especially on a race where YOU CAN´T MAKE BACK A SINGLE SR DOWN!
I´m just gonna go eat and lie down, go look at memes, do something more enjoyable, while I let the time pass until the upcoming FIA race. Not gonna risk my ratings again.
At least I´m almost up to 37k DR, which is the stat that should matter
(There were silent -1 SR deductions for getting hit that could easily exceed the paltry 5 SR you could gain for a race)
The bonus is the 50% extra (too low) credits and meaningless xp
