At last an EventLab that is a pleasure to drive on. Top track from @honz12 :+1: :trophy:

But… in their wisdom the devs saw it fit to have no AI?
What’s the point of adding a fabulous race track if we can’t actually RACE?
Absolute scenes.

Trial was fun, its nice to use the underpowered cars sometimes. You definitely get to enjoy the drive because you notice the race taking a little longer than usual. :laughing::laughing:

Custom race was very cool, didnt even have to restart to get it to work! :ok_hand:

Agreed, I even chanced it and ran my Acura RSX with a FWD tune. 1st + 2nd place. Easy team win. Happy with that one.

Unless I mis-read the track you switchback and run some of it in reverse, which would have been carnage for the AI.

8

Yes there is a switchback. The original blueprint is an anything goes with AI & 3 laps. It’s a great race, shame the devs have zero vision.

9

That kind of sums up the trial now. Rather than a competitive event where you have to drive well to be successful, it’s now a countryside cruise and you can leisurely take in the scenery, which I could also just do in Freeroam. There’s no jeopardy or risk of losing. No criticism of DRC of course, and each to their own, but that isn’t fun for me.

10

No offense taken, I dont make the rules I just play. I’m no longer emotionally invested as I once was. Removal of ranked was the start of nearly all competitive nature being shifted out of online play. Participation trophies/XP keeps the minority/casual players happy.

When the AI gets a cheaty speed boost and tries to pull past you on the finishing straight, so you bump them to the side and absolutely murder them on the finish line barriers.

12

I also used an Acura RSX that I had selected yesterday. Mine was a FWD with drag tires. Finishes of 2nd and 1st. Could have easily got 1st in the 1st race but an AI rammed me off the road at the start which had me at the back of the pack longer than I wanted.

Trial was stupidly easy to the point that all the AI was at the back and our team was in the front 1 - 6 for both races.

It’s got to the point now where the Trial and Horizon Tour are pretty much the same.

AI scored 100 in the first race and 500 in the second. I was the only person ahead of Pablo in Lookout Circuit.

I don’t like Anything Goes and I don’t like AI that isn’t tuned when the humans are. I’m not sure which I hate more: nerfed AI or impossible to beat AI.

Can’t say I’m sure everyone thinks the Trial is easy, or maybe cares enough to put much effort into it. Attempt 1 was successful, 1 person quit in race 1. Here’s race 2 results. 1650 to 1400

I wouldn’t be surprised if the people in the back were too busy fighting with each other to try to actually beat the AI.

I am surprised to see Pablo so far in the back. He finished 2nd in the Lookout Circuit against my team.

I looked back on the mini map, no fighting.

The first Copper Canyon race cracked me up: I found myself in 3rd thanks to teammate infighting, and then proceeded to watch my two teammates in 2nd and 1st plow into a pillar and off a bridge, respectively. Suddenly I’m in 1st several seconds clear of the field. All righty then!

Well, it looks like we have ANOTHER broken convertible. The Emory 356 C CABRIOLET reward car’s top doesn’t work. You can tell it was meant to have a removeable top because the open/close HUD tries to load, then fails to do so. It is the same bug that still affects two of the MX-5 Miatas, the two Honda S2000’s, and the MB SLK. In two of the podcasts, the devs said they would finish applying the fix, and this was after they added the convertible bug to the “won’t fix” section of the known issues list. Just another example of laziness and outright dishonesty from the devs.

Sounds like some really unskilled drivers to not be able to beat the nerfed AI. But it looks like they either didn’t know to or couldn’t be bothered to tune their cars. The player in the Buick is prestige 3 so you would think they would have a little bit of experience and know how to apply a tune.

For the most part, the Trial hasn’t been too bad for me over that past few months. Tonight had a couple of griefers try to shove me off track, I’m pretty sure intentionally. They failed. But that’s the worst it’s been for a few months now, which still wasn’t so bad. We won, despite the best efforts of our team.

And yeah, AI speed boosts; I’m pretty sure I saw the 2nd place AI accelerate in the air on the Extreme E championship. I hit a ramp, sail down a hill, and the car behind me yeets right behind me, and the dot on the minimap actually starts closing the gap. Unnatural acceleration is bad enough, but come on! the wheels need to be on the ground for that to be possible.
