Meetup etiquette?

The real problem is to have a goal on a trackday meetup, so here drift, because as it is actually, peoples consider it as a drift lobby, so for some, peoples who don’t drift shouldn’t be here.

If you do the same with a race meet up, so peoples who just want to cruise around the tracks are gonna be a problem for those who race/lap because slow cars are going to be on their way, so then, we should have an other meet up for cruising too ?

Some peoples also like meet up for their diversity because that’s where you can find differents kind of things at the same place.

We should have a meet up without any sort of goals, no drift score, no laptime.

I quite agree with the principle, although the fact that there’s a score gives players something to play with if they want to.
I don’t like drifting, but I’m using the FK race that’s being promoted, so I know I’ll find plenty of people there. It doesn’t seem to bother the other players though, even if they don’t drift…
I’ve raced at the Nurb’ too, and enjoyed a few clean overtakes like on an open day, and sometimes I’ve caught some buffers at very high speed.

As it’s open to everyone, that’s part of the game, there will be good players and others who don’t care about the rest, that’s just the way it has to be.

The idea of ghosting under certain conditions, in particular AFK and countersteering, remains an avenue to be explored

I simply don’t want to have to drive around groups of 4 cars that drift, while I just want to drive normally on FK.

I had this happening and it was annoying, I disturb them and they disturb me.

I understand…
We just need to find the best compromise to create lobbies that are relevant to everyone, and that can still accommodate enough players.
Multiplying the number of lobbies will not only confuse the player, it will also divide participation.

It’s a great new feature, but we’re going to have to think about how to fine-tune it!

Or an option when you are on the menu, you select a category Drift/Race/None, it ghost every peoples who haven’t selected your category.

Drift score activated on Drift
Lap Time activated on Race
None as a free mode

Headlight flasher and horns could help, at least we could signal other players that we want to drive past them or whatever.

I think they should add a race version soon I know they was worried about splitting the player base but from lobbies I’ve been in they are nicely populated

Yeah but Fujimi kaido drift meet ups , is for drifting and car meet ups. It’s in the name for a reason Not racing so you have to follow the road rules for that playlist . If you want to race be respectful or just go play track day . :slight_smile:

Exactly ! Now that would help out a lot . I really wish this was a feature and even hazard lights :slight_smile:

So on insiders forum i asked this question specifically to the devs and they confirmed that it is perfectly fine to try to race at the FK drift lobbies.

So were gonna keep doing it cuz its the only way to get on track there in meetup

See and that’s exactly what you are supposed to do :slight_smile: . We need more people like you that have respect for others , but of course there will always be griefers in every mode . I just don’t get the whole ramming mentality lol

But the drift meet up is actually the trackday, i don’t join FK drift meet up because i want to drift and have no problem with those who drift, but that’s the only place where you can be on FK with random peoples on the track

Drift meet ups isn’t actually for track day if it was it would say Fujimi kaido track day ,but I also don’t mind if you guys use it for track day just be mindful of us drifters :blush::saluting_face:

While there isn’t a regular racing FK Trackday, the Drift Meetup is also for the ppl that wanna drive normally there.

I am mindful about drifters, we are not talking about drifters as it is a problem, but about what is supposed to be a meet up, named a drift meet up.

Because of that, they’re peoples who consider since it’s a drift meet up, peoples who don’t aren’t allowed here.

I want to be on FK because i love touge.

On touge you find racers, and you find drifters. If i was into drift, i wouldn’t have any problems with racers, i’m more in race and i don’t have problems with drifters, because i’m first on FK for the touge culture.

You just can’t named the actual only place for find peoples on this track “drift meet up” because not everybody is specificly into drift

Tbh bro I think you are acting a bit entitled, especially in that chat screenshot. I don’t know what that guy did, but you are too aggressive.
It’s a meetup, so you trying to score points or post a clean lap is you taking a risk. It’s not people crashing into your Rivals session. It’s you trying to set records in a public space that isn’t loaded with rules or goals. I do agree that people should be respectful to each other, but it applies to all lobbies and even in regulated lobbies people will make mistakes. Deal with it. And as someone mentioned, both activities allowed in FK meetup.

“go to track day” attitude asks for a “go to drift rivals” response, just saying

Entitled how’s that being entitle , he rammed me 3 times that’s called griefing which can get people suspended . I was very respectful, and again I said 4 times you guys can race just be respectful but somehow that offended the people who aren’t good at drifting ( which is okay ) but don’t make it my issue . I’m simple saying have respect on the road like you would in real life . This shouldn’t even be a argument :skull: it’s just common sense

I’m not saying you aren’t being mindful why are you guys taking things out of context smh :person_facepalming:. I said multiple times idc if you guys are on there just be mindful . That’s just in general , not towards you or anyone else . :slight_smile:

Because that’s what we read

  • The way it’s worded sound (at least to me)
    “We’re drifting here, so be careful racer”

It shouldn’t be to racers to be mindful about drifters.

It shouldn’t be to drifters to be mindful about racers.

It just should be to peoples around the track, no matter what they do, to be mindful to others

I have to agree with @opudalo1337 here. I don’t want to comment on the other driver’s actions and what he did or didn’t do on track. But to this outside observer, it’s not surprising at all that you got a less-than-cooperative response from the other person when you refer to them as “kid”, “troll”, and tell them they don’t know how to drive, and to “learn to drift”. Your last message in that screenshot may have been respectful, but you have to take a certain amount of responsibility for setting a bad tone prior to that.
