Lets play online

I feel like road racing and A class. I’ve spent all day tuning this car to be perfect for A class road and I really wanna test it against human opponents. Plus A class road is just the most fun for me.
Accept and quit out 20 times until the game finally decides to let me play that.
“Welcome to A class road racing” Finally!
The event is about to start but despite you already choosing and eligible car and are sitting in it you can’t actually participate juuuuuuuust yet.
+2 minutes waiting, more if someone has an original xbone that loads slowly
+3-5 minutes for the race to run
+2 more minutes for everyone to collect their rewards, get their tictoc dances and fast travel to the next location
“Welcome to S2 dirt racing!”

Genuine, honest curiosity here; Did the people who worked on this part of the game ever play any other multiplayer game ever? Was it actually playtested at all? Where was the adult in the room to kindly but firmly tell them “No”?
Anyone would think it was a deliberate act to make multiplayer as awful as possible.

Yeah it sucks. The good news however is they have hinted that in series 6 there will be filters so that you can choose what you want to do.

I’m reserving a mountain of salt for this because honestly unless they also fix the multiplayer to have actual lobbies all this change will do is cut out the first step. You’ll still end up being forced into other types of racing after 0-3 races.

When looking at PGG’s promises you should assume the most half-assed minimum effort solution to be applied.
