Try telling them that. No matter how clean you race there’s always one noob who does it, only thing you can do is report them or go to a different lobby if it bothers you alot.
A turn? How about the idiots that try to run you off of the road in the straights! I have probably blocked and reported over 100 players since I started this game last November. I hate these guys so much and there seems to be an endless supply of them.
There is a difference between acting like a jerk and racing aggressively. I drive aggressively when racing and try to make as little contact as possible. Considering that some tracks are narrow as well as the fact that a lot of driveatars like hitting the contact part is harder than you think.
Drag racing is always a hassle. People try to push you out of the course if you are gaining on them, and will try to pit you. I have pretty much stopped trying to race online roadtrips in the game because it is always a bunch of unskilled drivers trying to race in S2s. I whip out the stock agera (i swear that car is op on asphalt) and get rammed or worse. The problem is that there are no real-world consequences for their actions in the game. The only thing to do is to leave and report.
I’ll keep my opinion short:
In my opinion, EXcluding playground games, the aim should be to race with the minimum amount of contact. No deliberate contact. I believe the same etiquette should be used for horizon as motorsport. As for playground games though, anything goes!
I don’t know if AWD is so much a crutch with this edition of Horizon as much as AWD caters to the tracks and map so much better. Conversely, FM4–I thought RWD was the way to go. I haven’t got a chance to pick up Motorsport6. Cutting corners–I am with you for the most part. When I see a clear path between checkpoints that will give me an advantage I am going to take it.
I’m usually the player which is calm, considerate and fair towards others. But, that’s where ramming me off the track on purpose changes that.
I mean, I’m sorry that on the occasion the car chosen is a bit quicker but no need to be sour about it and ram into a player like a puss. I’ll give a nudge back just as a (slightly childish) gesture that being a dick isn’t amusing. Failing that, I’ll just set races to ‘collisions off’ in future.
