Generic Solution(s) for better MP (console version)

Ok, what's your solution or suggestions on how to improve MP racing?!

- Private lobbies
This is definitely a must to add but bring negative parts as well, that means that creator of the lobbie can kick everyone out of the lobby even tho you're a clean driver (?!), happened in pCars trillion times.

- Give full control of it
Creator of the Lobby should have full control of the lobby and players, kicked player can't join the same lobby again.

- Ghositng car(s)
Someone who's driving in a opposite direction that car should be a ghost and after a 5/10sec warning immediate DQ and deported into the PIT!!

- Better penalty system
Cutting corners, ramming other, crashing into others should be implemented. When someone cuts corner hard 10/15sec cool down with ghosted car so he can't ram others, for ramming and crashing into others there should be some system that will recognize if you that with purpose or not. When with purpose 5/10sec cool down with ghosted car, when ramming then warning should appear if next time he ran or force another out of the track he'll get cool down and ghosted car for example. By repeating two/three time instant DQ!!

This is for now a few suggestion so if you've something to add please give solid suggestions to improve the game

INPORTANT INFO;
PLEASE DONT SPAM THE THREAD WITH STUPID CONVERSTION AND CHILDISH FIGHTS.

Happy suggesting

 

Able to change car and track within the lobby so annoying to have to start a new lobby.

 

Yeah but this won't improve MP's flaws and missing important features! But it's a good one for sure.

In the mean time until we get private lobbies having a track rotation would be nice. I think if we had track rotations you could then also add more variety of cars, and race lengths since we wouldn't require so many one off lobbies for just one specific car group at one track.

As for improvements for the actual racing I think there should be a three strike kind of system, if you cut three times you either get a harsher penalty like 30sec slowdown, or DQ. I'd say this for contact too, but id assume it's difficult for the game to understand who initiated the contact and wether it was just some bumping which happens or if it was deliberate.

 

I feel that this would potentially dilute the Sim feel? If someone goes off track in front of me I like to be the one who decides the best avoiding action. Its part and parcel of racing, people have accidents. In my mind its a skill to be able to predict best how to avoid said accidents, charging full speed through a ghost is no fun.

 

I think its impossible for a game to tell whos fault a crash or bump was.

 

As I said it would be difficult, the problem wouldn't really be with how severe the contact was, I'm sure that is pretty easy to quantify. It just couldn't understand who if anyone was in the wrong.

The iRacing points system of sorts could work I guess, but that would penalize both drivers regardless of the situation.

 

The choice of different cars and circuits within multiplayer, for e.g, the lotus 98t at spa, or the sauber c9 Mercedes at monza. The multiplayer has been locked to specific cars and tracks, more variety and addition would be nice.

 

This is a must for many

 

Agree on that. But crashing and get crashed are two different things right? So I supposed to know we needs a clever crash system or something like that

You can keep repeating the same things in however many posts you want - there is only one thing required - Private/Public lobbies with host kick - solves all the issues of who's in your lobby - there hasn't been one game that satisfactorily deals with cutters, rammers and noobs. Kick 'em and carry on- simples!

 

Private lobbies dosent solve everything,,what if your freinds decide to be a s sholes aswell? (then you are racing with the wrong freinds) if this happens i will shot myself, lol

 

Most of the above ....or for now join our clean racing community

My PSN Maxx69

We race on PlayStation and have regular championship races and events on pcars and are looking to fill lobbies on Assetto with respectful guys .
Friendly bunch of English speaking guys from all over the world , all with us for the same reason....clean racing

 

What do you mean - decide?

One thing I will say, a guy takes me out, I don't get angry, how can I be, when at the next turn he's on his roof. Tell you what, it's damn hard trying to race when you're laughing! ; )

 

the biggest problem with you proposal is there is NO racing game in existence where the system can tell if a crash was was done on purpose or from incidental contact. now there are some cases where that is easy to tell like someone driving backward or sitting on the side of the track and as soon as you get close he takes off to ram you. but then there are other where its a poor judgment call from the driver such as entering a corner too fast or trying to take a corner 3 wide when the corner is too tight and narrow for that. and causes a wreck. now in racing there will be some bumping and wrecking it happens in real life no race is 100% cleen that some think it should be. As for penalties well no racing game to date has ever gotten those correct either. hell in pcars as well as this game I have et to see the AI penalized with the slow down penalty for corner cutting. and lost track in games where I got did qualified when the AI or other players bumped me from behind and spun me out. also seen game wher the penalty system will give a penalty for corner cutting if you even touch a kerb.

 

Agreed. A must for me

 

I hear people being critical about Project Cars Multiplayer. As others have said, its impossible to be perfect but I must say PC have done a fantastic job. Private/Public lobbies in any race configuration using any car or cars. I can join in at any time up until the race starts and overall, I seldom get kicked (maybe I've been lucky). If AC can have what PC has for multiplayer configuration, I would be a very happy man.

 

An illegal contact penalty system could be added into AC. A driver who hits you at a turn, which requires braking , clearly has no intention of stopping, a heavy time penalty for high speed, deliberate contact could work? It would be hard to bring a penalty system that detects illegal contact from someone side swiping, or deliberately pushing you off the track. Some want to race, some want to wreck. I guess were all going to have to use that vote to kick more often to keep the grid tidy.

 

More or less I agree but as I say what I see in pCars were dude kicks other for being bad in the game. It's not"implement private/custom lobbies"even tho this should be a standard for such games. No one sound in your attention were you'll kick dirty drivers out but what when you drive 15min Qualy, do ur setup, struggle for P1, and be4 the Race begins you'll get kicked out-why? You were 0.5sec faster then the rest! (pCars syndrome, happened trillion times to me on Monza for example!)
