Online ramming is just killing this game

I hope by shutting down the Oct update he means wrapping it up and no more fixes added to get it ready to ship and not cancelling it and adding it to Novembers update. Is there a track coming in Oct?

Yeah I think he meant that theyā€™ve stopped work on the October update and any new fixes with be in the November update.

The current AI used for the penalty system should be able to detect the (no nice way of saying it) idiots who are only interested in disrupting a race, and by this I mean - weā€™ve all been in a practice session where thereā€™s 1 or more idiot driving the wrong way around the track, or just intentionally ruining practice laps by ramming cars, (and 9/10 itā€™s these same people who conveniently forget to brake on turn one, causing chaos). I think there should be harsher than in the race penalisations in practice sessions for this, or even a very bold WRONG WAY on screen and a countdown timer to either disqualify them from the race or turn their cars around.

What cars are p2w exactly?

@Forza_Dids I believe those got nerfed.

R8 Audi and VW Golf are the stand out ones

There are good races to be had in public hoppers. You just need to get lucky

The golf was nerfed at update 1

I think they are jerking your chain with Pay to Win.

I mean the only DLC is the car packs and the Premium membership. I donā€™t know if any of those would be considered pay to win.

If you want to know the best cars on any given track/class combo go to Rivals.

Me on the other hand I try to get the highest NON leaderboard car on the Leaderboard. Have done that in every version of Forza.
In Forza 1 I was 150th in the world and never used the Honda CRX, which was the Leaderboard car for 3 or more classes due to the ā€œBroke Aeroā€ bug on the front of the car.

Forza 2 I was 250th in the world not using any class killers.
I just think the game is a whole lot funner trying to finda good car that the top guys donā€™t use.

Plus you can always just race smarter than all the idiots, and avoid the first few classes and race consistent.

In multiclass I have pulled top three overall from a lower group car, just by driving smooth. Thatā€™s fun to beat higher class cars giving up PI.

Ye Iā€™m guessing he was trolling . I have played this and previous Forzas more than I probably should have :joy: so I was pulling his chain really

Iā€™m starting to believe that this topic is feeding the community toxicity and the trolling. What happened to people having mature conversations in this community without attempting to get underneath each otherā€™s skin?

I know you said. Prestige 3 as well. All without using a pay to win car. Highly impressive

I hadnā€™t had any rammers until recently. Ironically they happened after I had gotten my rating back up to S.

I was rammed multiple times by the same person on the last lap at Mugello because my tires were going and I was defending my 3rd position (not weaving or anything, just not leaving the insides open; it was only my fronts that were bad, and my car could accelerate faster than the rammerā€™s car). Three times the rammer took both of us off track. The first two I recovered in front of him, the third he finally sent me way out into the kitty litter. He got less than a second worth of penalties for all of these kamikaze moves.

The second one was somebody going bowling off the start at Nurburgring GP.

Road America tonight. Iā€™m in group 2. Two Miataā€™s in group 1 are fighting in the barking zone of the Hairpin. I go ahead of them. The one guy completely pitts me for no reason at all.

Hence the reason I made the post of Toxicity is Killing this game.

Ridiculous that people can wreck other players races, just for spite.

In their recent article about FRR, Turn 10 mentioned ideas surrounding Racing Etiquette, how to promote it rather than enforce it. So we have to wait and see what comes out of thisā€¦

That happens quite often when u are on defensive.

I got my biggest penalties (all of them not deserved) when I slowed down not to hit the cars in front of me. Because when you do that people behind you ram you and you get the penalty not them. Donā€™t expect clean racing till they fix the flawed penalty system.

That paragraph is the best example of what is wrong with Trun 10

Talk about double speak.
We have guidelines but havenā€™t published them.
We want people to play properly, without telling them how to play.

Idiots.
