Who's at Fault? - Discussing Racecraft and Incidents

And here we got another case of "Yellow flags are for pussies", starting at 1:03 minutes.


@Minolin what do you think – is there a chance we get SA penalties for not slowing down in double yellow sectors one day?

 

0:10 a serial killer on the grass was planning to kill everyone and black mercedes dies;
0:18 black&purple mclaren decides to ignore track limit because he need to overtake;
0:37 green porsche was too fast to go on his line(and there was no room to overtake because of track layout/next corner and black&white car just ahead);
0:38 black&white seems to spin out by itself;
0:40 black&purple mclaren try to overtake with no room when the green ferrari decides to kill him (he shouldn't try to re enter overtaking other players);
0:46 smash&crash time!

the real problem in my opinion is that no one care about other players, everyone try to overtake or go on his line like hotlap mode.

 

I plead guilty for doing a bad job at braking into Les Combes. Can't even blame it on the grip as the black & white #2 Audi was alongside me just before and managed to brake even later.
At least this was just a tiny "kiss" that neither triggered the SA system nor sent one of us into a spin.

This, paired with a certain amount of ignorance towards the situation in front. Little initial accidents so often lead to carnage, because people are not willing to react accordingly, and those who lift the throttle or even brake get punted from behind.

Watch me at 0:54 flashing my headlights desperately in hope not to be collected by the next cars – it went well here, but has gone wrong too often.

And at 1:12 I intentionally chose to go over the grass to minimize the danger of a collision if either the Audi or one of the Astons moves (in rememberance of my lastest Monza incident), but both the black Merc and red & black Porsche behind me just decide to give a flying F and do a full Leeroy Jenkings instead, ending at least four races at once.

 

CP server split 1. One player having great fun. Very aggressive moves from him in braking zone of 1st turn.


SA system was overloaded this evening.
I see that some player with nickname "V."One_Ko" Dimitrov" participate in AOR league Tier 1. Did he drive this aggressive in AOR or it's only on CP servers.

 

One KO but he race to KO them all.

 

That was nowhere near the braking zone.
While the Aston does indeed block quite aggressively, the Merc totally overreacts, moves too far to the left (although there was plenty of room in the middle of the track) and collects the bentley.

Boy, this is embarrassing to watch.

 

This is embarrassing indeed. Had one public quick once race with an AOR guy starting at the back, well, he murdered half of the field on the start. Fast does not always equal fair and smart...

 

Yes, it's interesting why they didn't behave like this in leagues racing, where they would get lifetime ban for that. And on CP servers they feel free to do that type of sh*t.

 

I cannot believe it was oneko. maybe someone stole his name?

 

Somebody obviously has neurological defects, and should not be licensed do do anything in on the net, and including RL.

 

The first one was a dumb error on his part and maybe the day just went from bad to worse and he became impatient. Even really good drivers can have off days.

 

Big difference between having an off day and deciding to ruin everyone else's race because you messed up though.

 

And the big question is.. "whats the suprise?"
Nothing new at least for me. Have seen it since day one. Lately wasnt so much to say the truth but its nothing new at all.

For some reasons i ranted quiet a few times about an implematation of a new SA tier to be far away from that stuff. but even got "joked" by the devs about it.

i literally unistalled the game already. makes no sense for me being with +95SA and find that on track race in race out.

How fun is to have a guy that try hard at the race start ( i dont see a block of any sort from the guy in front, he did the normal thing and cover the inside for the first turn with a very good amount of space from the cars behind), just for the car behind being way to much stressed and has to overtake no mather what and loses total awareness of his space on track and wants the full track for himself and f*ck all others. In his head he has the right to do whatever, and others need to avoid him but he doesnt need to do the same about others...

This is literally the racing experience i have in ACC in a nutshell.

I can count in the one hand fingers the amount of times i did have clean fun enjoyble battles with another driver in ACC, and even those most of the times i was the one going of track to avoid touching just to be able to be fair and clean.

Not saying i dont do mistakes. of course i do.Even more than i think i should be doing at this time. but for my one mistake every 10 races i have others doing 10 mistakes every one race.

There was this one statistic i saw several years ago about online races that was something like this: ( about race finishes)

25% of times its your mistake
25% are others mistakes ( that finish your race)
25% external problems like internet, family, etc...
25% u finished well (on your rightfull place)

The statstics for ACC must be something like :
3% your mistake ( since usually u dont have time to do a mistake by your own before u are taken out by someone else)
70% others mistakes
25% external problems
2% u finished well

 

week 13 in a figure 8 track in this one other game, has more probability of u to finished the race withtout incidents than a 10 minute race in 90 SA server in ACC.
Even in Wreckfest against the AI that can sometimes drive straitgh into u, i have been more prone to finish avoiding contacts than i can do in ACC against humans.

 

In the second video he is pausing for traffic just not doing a very good job of it. I don't think he's deciding to ruin every bodies race, just not exercising enough caution to ensure he doesn't ruin other peoples race.

 

did u saw the whole second video? or.. is there something else u have to say ?

 

No, I thought the rest of the video was just a replay of the first part, I didn't see him reversing into people selectively.

 

I think the black Merc is at fault

 

The question is why on ACC there is no "voting for kick" as we had on AC. Ten seconds and this kind of scumbag will be kicked from server, simply.

 

Honestly, I cannot remember one single AC race where enough votes came together for an actual kick.
Most of the time an active admin was needed for that.
