Hi all, since this is the place now, here’s a question I wanted to ask to the community:
Is there such a thing as a “fast lobby”?
I’m talking online public multiplayer. I found myself wondering that after greatly improving my own laptimes while using the same car in same-ish conditions on the same track (Mugello, day time, Forza GT3). Great lap (for my standards)? Luck of the draw? Emulation from other faster drivers? Or could there be “faster lobbies?”
Matching doesn’t really work, so it’s basically luck based on when people join within a few minutes. If you end up in a lobby with a bunch of super fast guys, it’s likely because they joined as a group. The system in place simply doesn’t work. It wouldn’t work with a higher playerbase either unless we were hitting CoD like numbers.
Yes, some conditions are faster than others, primarily dependent on temperature. A large lobby size will also help as the track will be rubbered in faster and times will improve accordingly.
Good idea for a discussion thread.
