On the other hand, you give up the challenge of trying to race with skilled drivers who won't punt you. I miss that real racing but careless avoidable contact with full damage on is a loving curse. I'm in, unless it's collisions on. It's not accidents I want to avoid. It's intentional, avoidable contact for the sake of gaining position.

I love the ghost leagues for strictly hot lapping. I like leagues because I'm not tied to one night. After the first couple of days I was 12 or 13th overall but havent played since. I get to watch other players and how they do. I'm in professional now and hope to get bumped up soon. In C class this week it's nice to see all the lessons and mentions of how to carry your car through the corners at the optimum speed finally pay off. Even if it's just rivals hotlapping, I've won 37 out of 103 races (yes I kept count). Not bad for me. Now racing is racing and need to get better with that.

The whole process of setting up and executing a pass, or defending my position from someone looking to pass me, those are my favorite part of racing in games like this. On the other hand, the online in this game is just atrocious, it's really astounding how much worse it is than previous Forzas ever were. I don't know what the hell the deal is, but every hopper and league is just constant intentional wrecks and failing that, insane divebombing that's not intentional but no less dumb.

Dr. Faustus posted:GTCC Dr. Faustus posted:Constant intentional collisions are a feature of racing clubs, and I refuse to be a part of that. Okay, look, I'm going to address this and extend the olive branch a bit here. Our group, in this new larger format, has a hard time racing anything above probably C class with super clean passing. Exercising caution with large amounts of power seem to be our serious stumbling block. We've had some really great races in the lower classes with almost everyone enjoying themselves for the night. Intentional hitting is not something any of us have encouraged or condoned, so don't paint with such a wide brush, my friend. Give us some A class poo poo and the tears will flow like the monsoon rains. I really hate some of the poo poo we have dealt with involving behaviours, but we're all adults and at the end of the day what the gently caress can I really do? This week, we've reigned in the car selection and tracks to slow everyone down for some chummy endurance racing. Lots of laps and time to get caught up with people and race. Not a ton of power and momentum coming into the corners and the "comedy" cars have been excluded from the choices. If any of you would like the cleanest racing we can attempt as a large group, this would be it. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3743099&pagenumber=33#post454762833

I'm going for 100% achievements. I'm working on getting the achievement for $50,000 worth of design sales. If someone can help me and buy some of my designs, i'd be more than happy to do the same in return. I shared 35 designs for the 1997 Mazda RX-7. They are under the keywords Goon1, Goon2, Goon3, Goon4, Goon5, Goon6, Goon7. Each one has 5 designs. Giving a thumbs up to the design also adds credits. How ever many designs you can download and thumbs up is appreciated. Send me a message to my gamertag (Hepnotik) and i'll download your designs and tunes.

Important to note that you can also make a dummy account that can download and rate things to help with this stuff as well.

What the h*ck are leagues anyway, I havent bothered using a gold sub yet so I cant access them. I cant belive people had a problem beating the rivals challenges in FM4 though, pretty sure I managed every one and i'm poo poo.

I like them because if you do well you rise in position and at the end of the week the results are examined and you will be awarded Forza money based on your ranking. It's actually pretty cool. (I don't like the collision-on leagues because pubbies think nothing of driving dirty as gently caress to win. They will wreck you, PIT you, block you, anything to take you out of the competition.) If I have anything wrong, hopefully someone will post a correction.

If you play with pubbies enough you learn to deal with 90% of their shenanigans. Even get a good sense of when to counter-steer against them. Or if you think they are going to hit you slow down so they pit themselves. It's a game within the game avoiding the pubbies shenanigans. Plus with the leagues there's not really a huge difference between 1st and 5th place anyway. Last place gets 100 points, every place ahead gets +100 points per position. Big problem with ghosts leagues is so many tracks have off track short cuts that you can take, and with the results being pure hotlapping, there's no reason not to take them.
