Suggestions for online races

Hello.

First of all , I apologize if this is not it suitable means.

I would like to suggest an idea and I hope that you have in mind for online races .

It is a system similar to levels very famous games like League of Leguends or Counter Strike Global Offensive .

That is having a players rank and suit that range depending on your skill . If rank up better .

I say this because so careers in Assetto Corsa would be fair and more fun , because if there are professional players with amateur people amateur people will get bored of playing with professional people and may end up leaving the game.

I would like to know if you have any of this for the races are fair and not make the mistake like rFactor , you can play with professionals.

And from my experience , it's much more fun to play with people your own skill, the races are much more interesting and improve your skills gradually.

I hope your answer, regrads ERO .

 

it indeed works well for team vs team based games, but not with racing games where it's everyone for them selfes

 

Maybe, but the races are more interesting for all against people who have your same skill or similar. Because if you play against people on the start of the race and in turn you out a lead of several seconds, it gets kind of boring. I think.

 

Are we even sure if Kunos will have anything to do with hosting races, or will it all be down to users/forums setting up there own, similar to rFactor?

Bring on the T1 carnage . . .

 

well i agree to the idea to split pro's from amateurs like i am.....
my experience with PC online sims is Zero....we made in Konsole times on Forza Qualifings to have a good equilibrated Grid
as i'm not a Alien i don't Need to race with them but with equal leveld chaps skill Level will improve also....

 

Kunos will have nothing to do with hosting races. They plan to do dedicated servers, just like NKP iirc.

also, I'd rather drive against people who are on a different skill level than drivign against drivers on the same lvl who have a bad safety

 

Yea but over a random race field skill levels are going to vary widely also, there might be 2 to 5 aliens, 4or 5 fast people, couple middle of the packs and the last few the guys that just do the sunday drive thing and finish eventually.

you will sort out into one of those groups.

even leagues and what not its generally the same.

yea if everyone in the field were dead even skill and car wise it could be the most exciting thing ever but that does not happen in real races well you got stock car type racing, where you lest have dead even cars and still that field widens out a good bit over the course of a race.

 

indeed, there is no such thing as all drivers being close to each other skill wise

 

It would not be necessary either to separate, at least gives a level or range profile of each pilot.

So if you enter a server can know that level can have the other drivers or people make servers paara Level 1-2 or Level 10-20

It would be more fun than professional people.

But you can always mix, but knowing against whom run.

 

Maybe if there was some kind of rating within the Career mode that could be applied to a filter when setting up races, people/forums are able to setup races allowing access to people only of similar rating.

This option, can of course, be omitted and allow anyone to race in servers that allow it.

 

Why make definite decision for potential drivers, instead of in collaboration with them? If you can see the level of drivers in a race "server" you can make the decision by yourself if you want to participate or not, or search for another race.
If you want to set up a custom race, let the leader decide the terms for that specific race.

 

Here is the easy answer:

The grid is determined by finish placement of the last race, new players are placed randomly in the remaining spots. The skill will automatically stratify the longer people play, just like playing the AI you just need to survive the 1st lap.

This solution also lends itself to league play as the 1st race can be a qualifier, then the server resets and then the real race begins.

Hi ERO.

That's what friends and communities are for.
I don't and wouldn't want any outside interaction deciding or even suggesting who or where i race.

Who cares about winning... I've raced with some really quick guys in the past and never got bored with it.
The really good and most enjoyable times i've had in simracing is battling with guys in the middle of the field,
or at the back of the grid.

As soon as MP appears...
If you're serious about AC and simracing, go and join a league mafrien, you'll never look back.

 

Racing should be racing, there will allways be good and not-so-good drivers, so everybody races everybody, that's the fun of it, there are not 2 F1 championships for Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso, etçª and other for Kobayashi, Vergne, Kvyat, etçª, like in all sports (and simracing is not different) everybody has different skill levels and should have the opportunity to race who they want where they want...

There will allways be winners and losers, so...

P.S- Keep it like rFactor style and success is guaranteed

 

I think it's right to do the classes, at least for entry level racing on the track with those who have never sim course is devastating for everyone, if for example you do not know a blue flag or other rules of the race will be a frustrating experience for everyone, new kind of sim will have to practice a lot on how you run on the track before and did not think about winning or exceed, this is what you do on the arcade game.

 

+1
As long as everyone keeps it clean and fair the racing will always be good

 

I just think it would be excellent to balance careers

 

In my opinion all you need to know is the laptimes and some sort of safety rating to know who you can trust or not on the grid.

I dont have a lot of experience online but I raced quite a bit back in the day on LFS and the most fun I had was racing with some guy with +- 1 sec of my time, no matter if it was for first place or the last. Mobile roundabounds were frustrating (including myself)

A simple thumbs up or down for each player at the end of the race would be enough and let the servers decide if you can race there or not. Just like this

 

With all the telemetry we get from AC, surely an app can be written (not by me, I`m useless, sorry) that can tally points for incidents?

Off-track would be easy, contact can be done based on if damage is caused. Can it determine who caused it? Maybe not, but neither does iRacing (does it?)
