What's with running your team mates off the road

[XPGDEADONE]

This is the exact reason I neve join a convey in games like this. So I’m trying to get my seasonal group races, that you have to do, out of the way.
So far every time I start all that happens is my own team mates pin me to the wall repeatedly. We are not racing each other people. We are supposedly on the same team working together. So what is the point of this. Did the people that already earned there cars just decided to make sure no one else will get theirs. Because that’s the only thing that would make sense for your own team to do this. And no it’s not accidental like I originally thought. Because this has been multiple races. Different players. And they will even turn around and come the wrong direction down the track and slam you.

Honestly this is just absolutely ridiculous. Thanks a lot for ruining the game for others. All these races need to be eligible for solo play.

This is one of the main reasons I do not play the multiplayer portion of this game.

Some people just like to cause trouble. You either need decent mates to complete the multiplayer challenges or you need to do them early in the week.

As the multiplayer is often toxic, once players have completed it then there is no incentive to replay hence by the end of each game week is mostly griefers and players who are still trying to complete but struggle against the drivertars.

I remember last week in the co-op races against unbeatable drivatars, one of my team mates very deliberately made a concerted effort to ram me well off the track and make sure I couldn’t pass him. Even though we’re on the same team. I hadn’t given him any reason to have animosity towards me because in the previous races in the event we’d won handily and had a big lead. I can only think that he didn’t like me being so much quicker than him (through hurt pride or ego presumably, because we’re on the same side), OR, he was sufficiently stupid that he didn’t understand how the event works, and that he was harming not just my but also his own chances of winning.

We ended up winning the event due to me and another player, and the toxic player did poorly throughout, yet he still won the same as we did. We deserved to win. He did not. I don’t enjoy helping people like that win things. (I don’t mind lower skilled players who try their best, I’m talking about players with a bad attitude - why should they be rewarded?)

The problem you describe is the exact reason you should ALWAYS JOIN AS A CONVOY. If you play with your friends and people you know with skills to beat unbeatable drivatars that is an easy win 100% of the time. Other than that, if you are content on just queuing up with a bunch of randoms, see my previous post regarding trial events (at least you are attempting the event at the right time of the week, it will only get worse as the week progresses):

@JurassicJoeDawg

That’s why it is always best to complete the Trial the first day of a season, when there are still good quality players available to be on your team. Once all those people start getting their completion, you can expect them to stop entering the event, which will eventually leave you with the bottom of the barrel players still trying to win the Trial. I will always prioritize the Trial event to the first part on a season. Common sense just indicates that players still participating in it on the last day are probably people that are not of the driving caliber that can easily beat unbeatable drivatars. First day I was able to win it in one try. 4-0. 4 competent players + 2 incompetent players. There are also the toxic players that will repeatedly enter the Trial after they have already completed it, with the sole intention of making people lose, in order to make exclusive cars even more exclusive by sabotaging the ability for others to get them. This was extremely evident in the Trucks trial a couple months back, when players would intentionally block their own team or ram them. Also, evident in the Rip Rod Drag event where people that already won the rip rod would continuously enter to with the sole goal of preventing others from winning.

And I am willing to bet when a wallriding fix gets rolled out, that is going to drop the number of players able to beat unbeatable drivatars, because the wallriders that would otherwise leave unbeatable drivatars in the dust, will now become one of the incompetent drivers dragging the team down.

Some people do it on purpose, but a little lag and people that follow the driving line like a religion are usually the problem for me. Sometimes all it takes is an AI to warp into your bum in a turn and its over for the guy on the outside.
