Well as always if you want to race you need 99 sr.
B race is proving that to me now. At my current sr there’s group 3 cars, on an excellent track for them, there’s me, looking to have fun races, but there’s no one else in my races who is like minded at sr B and C. I’m just playing to play, relax.
I’m not going to farm sr on C race. I’m just gonna play. I’ll use whatever car I want, drive however I feel like.
I’m thinking my main is retired for good.
I’m thinking many others feel the same.
I am seeing them at low sr.
I’ve seen guys go off onto grass, cross the whole track, smash people off and continue with no penalty at all. I’ve seen the same driver do this several times in a race and not get penalized.
I’ve no idea why they won’t go to a shared fault penalty system.
Honestly, I’m not ever racing seriously again on main unless the pen system is completely reworked.
Thing is is I haven’t cared and just raced alt only for a long time now anyways.
But, after not playing at all for a few weeks, then returning back and seeing what it is...man...
Don’t get me wrong, yes, there’s fantastic racing to be had in GTS on America’s, but only if you are at top .5 percent.
Now, average B B America’s room is still fun to have access to for a quick race whenever you want no qual or a half assed qual. It’s fun. But it’s not racing. It’s a video game, and that’s ok.
I do have a serious question for myself tho and that’s if I had the dough and everything what’s the attraction of ps5 and the next title?
I’ve never played these before Sport so trial mountain has no nostalgia for me...
Gts servers will probably be kept on quite a while...
I don’t care about bolting on an exhaust virtually onto a vid game car.
To me GTS far as setup menus features etc is fine.
The one thing that’s always held it back is a wonky pen system that tries to assign blame instead of doing it the better way and blaming both drivers or all 3 etc.
Why would someone like myself want another title?
Honestly I won’t fall for “NEW IMPROVED PEN SYSTEM”
I dunno, just playing dailies on an anonymous scrub account is about the most I can invest in this.
Don’t get me wrong that’s still fun, but it’s not racing.
I love the quick hit sprint race format of the dailies.
I’m not a person who can do a more “sim” private lobby of say 40 laps on a track.
To me sprints are enough.
I don’t even know where I’m going with this.
I respect anyone who does play serious and tries to see what they can achieve, but I already did that and know where I stand overall if I put in the time and effort, and it’s not easy at all.
I guess going forward I plan to stick on gts as long as possible.
After that who knows...
Only thing I know is this: any online racing game is only as good as it’s rating system and pen system.
Better physics is secondary to the most fair competition possible. Graphics, sound, all of it.
I think on dailies there’s many players who feel as I do.
Imagine this game, as it exists right now, with a rating/pen system that was more advanced and actually clear about the reason for sr downgrade or penalty.
Imagine it with Industry leading pen system, that 80-90 percent or more of players like and understood.
If you can imagine that you see where I’m coming from.
There’s no need for another title for online at all.
They just need to scrap the idea that blame can be assigned. They need to start fresh.
One race from a person with a long history of FairPlay should not result in significant sr down.
It’s really the Achilles heel of GTS, this system (mess)
