There was a point, where I was excited about forza. Excited to see what new cars they added. Excited to see what engine swaps I could do. Excited to rush home from work or school just to mindlessly spend hours fiddling around with favorite car. And excited to race onkine, against other people. A majority of this is still true. But one aspect, the most important one at that too, has vanished for me. The excitement to race online. It’s been replaced with hatred, anger, disdain, vengenace, and a sense of betrayel. It’s at the point where now I spend more time trying to find a lobby I can enjoy rather than enjoying a lobby. And it’s your fault turn 10. You guys have the power to change this one minor problem that keeps your game from greatness. This is the only game I have come across with a multiplayer feature that dies nothing, absolutely NOTHING to prevent people from u in in the game experience for others. People that wreck in this game bring down the overall value. I’m not talking about the people who occasionally drift of the track and cause a collision, not all of us have perfect lines and sensitive hands. I’m talking about the people who buy cars like the limo you guys added, btw thanks for giving them an even bigger dido to use, and dedicate a whole evening towards being your way, slamming you into a wall, Pit manuevers, waiting LAPS just to spin you out again, anything to ruin your race. It’s frustrating. It’s annoying. It needs a solution turn 10. It doesn’t even have to be a drastic solution. Something as making the kick player system more noticeable might work. Or we can go all out and put out a flag system where intentional wrecks remove you from the race AND lobby. Rack enough black flags/kicks and you are no longer welcome among clean racers are now in forza “jail”, a lobby just for wreckers. GTA has done it. COD also dedicated time to get rid of friendly fire. Your game is now big enough where you have to dedicate resources to keep the quality up. Forza is now that popular nightclub downtown, and you now need a bigger, and beefier bouncer to keep the image of the place in tip top order. Do better turn 10.
In regards to the trolling, I agree Turn 10 is just as at fault as the trolls themselves at this point. There is an easy solution that I beleive has been suggested on these forums before (if not I am giving it now), simply ghost anyone who is a lap down. The player does not un-ghost unless they can get back on the lead lap. There will still be the issue of the trolls crashing the first turn, however, I think this system would be a major deterrent and would keep them from even trying due to boredom being a ghost.
I totally agree with OP.
Bring back the votekick system from Forza Motorsport 4!!!
You could SEE on your screen if there was a votekick going on.
What’s your excuse to remove it since FM5? People abused it? Most of the time it was the crashers themselves who started the vote on innocent people, so that they could continue staying in the lobby. (impossible to have more than one votekick active) The simple solution? Allow multiple votekicks visible on the screen, with the number of votes left and everything.
In FM5 there was nothing on screen and it didn’t work and most of the times the game crashed if you voted!!!
In FM6 there is nothing on screen and nobody gets kicked!
It’s over 1 month since the game came out and there are more and more wreckers.
I have real races with this group. I am sure there are other groups in your timezone you could join.
Not trying to troll you, but it seems they have done something about this already. Have met a few people chrashing, but that is very rarely. Most onlineraces Im put in contains clean positive racers, that enjoy racing over chrashing. Can it be that you “get even” with people chrashng you some times and maybe put in wreckerlobbies? Then this might be the reason you are put in lobbies with wreckers. Not accusing you, but I rarely experience what you explain, so my guess is that they did do something
This simply doesn’t make sense.
How would he be matched with wreckers if his xbox live rep is green?
Dont think Xbox rep has anything to do with this. Try to race a few races without any chrashing, let wreckers pass, and just finish some races without chrashing. I drove like my grandfather first week to avoid chrashing, and now I rarely meet any wreckers.
Agreed… I as well think this may be the case…
Tune 10s answer to this problem are the leagues. Not to say there are no crashers, but there are definitely less of them. I do think by adding leagues they have left the regular lobbies filled with most of these ignoramus’. The truth is as forza has become more geared towards mainstream players instead of mostly racing fans, online racing has gotten worse and worse and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Most people that want a more hardcore experience or more sim like racer have mostly moved on and it’s left an even smaller group to have to deal with the overpowering number or griefers. If they want to make the game more arcade that’s fine, but the physics will have to be adjusted like they were in horizon 2 where the cars had more weight to them and we’re able to take some hits but still maintain their composure. It’s sad to see what has happened to this series over the past few years, but i dont see it changing much,they’re not going to give up sales over this problem.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ +1
After racing in leagues this weekend, particularly S class ghost and sim league I have had a much cleaner, purer racing experience.
The only problem is the timings of leagues, they’re not open 24 hours so playtime in them has to be scheduled where most of my online play in previous Forzas has just been when I feel.
Did you guys ever notice the cars fancied by the crashers? Trucks, SUVs and now Limos. Those cars don’t belong in online racing. Oh and what about the guys that stay in the lobby but never play, creating a continuous roadblock at the start of every race? What about the fact that the crashers appear to be “selecting a car” the whole time during the lobby, so you can’t know what they’re up to? Turn 10 needs to put people around a table to figure these things out. It’s not good enough.
Just to touch on the cars that stay and dont move… Alot of the time this is lag and they are actually racing but YOU dont see them…Thats why when you think you are in 2nd place and cross the finish line you all of a sudden finished in 4th… Its becuz those stopped cars were actually racing…
Leagues do help alot… I started in enthusiast level and got wrecked all the time by trolls… But I always finished the race and didnt get even with them… Ive moved up levels in leagues and the racing is much improved… Trolls can not level up because they are too busy wrecking people and finishing last or not finishing… Of course there are exceptions to the rules… Some guys that are high up in level,turn you around by giving you that faint touch in the corner at the perfect time and keep going… But they say “rubbins racing”… So there will always be that no matter what.
