NSN Silvia S15 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Really starting to get f**ked off with these idiots now! I always try and race cleanly and avoid contact where ever possible. If i mess up, I apologise/give back the position. I can pretty much win 90% of the races where the cars are ghosted, but as soon as I play a Rallycross race or anything with trucks or buggies, I soon find im in a lobby full of idiots who still have yet to find out what the left trigger actually does! Far too many idiots repeatedly sideswipe you too. Seems there is no etiqette left in racers these days. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris666 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 That's true. I hate that, too. If you like, add me and we race some clean laps: ChrisDeath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullseye281 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I've been playing the DiRT games since '08, and realized a long time ago that DiRT is just another word for "Bumper Cars." If you don't commit to a "if you can't beat'em join'em" attitude real quick, you're just gonna end up having to buy new controllers and fixing holes in your wall. Just another reason that I avoid multiplayer altogether unless it's absolutely achievement mandated. Like Maka, I just stick with the non-contact Point to Point races whenever possible. Unfortunately, that won't be an option for the Shibuya DLC (if you believe the rumors, it looks like one of the 'chievers is gonna be for winning a Rally-X multiplayer race.) Bumper cars, here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIN REKA Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I know how ya feel, man. Hell, I'm trying to get my white hexagon back and stay in the back of the pack and I still get taken out. Its frustrating. After I get it back, I'll just skip the contact enabled races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullseye281 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Jam Session, not Pro Tour. Whether you're going to have to do it in Jam or Pro doesn't matter--either way, the point is that it's still going to suck (hard) because you're still talking about a bunch of guys who are gonna be specializing in bouncing each other off of the guardrails the whole race trying to get to the front.

Rifle Elite Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Everyone rams in this game because they either think thats what Rallycross is about, or they cant win properly. I also think the average Dirt 3 player isnt a diehard racing fan so thats why you may see more dirty driving in here, tahn for example Forza. My win ratio for Rallycross is around 70-75% now, but if cars are ghosted Im pretty much guaranteed to win, as I have a lot of top 20 times and I have beaten top 5 drivers in ghosted races a few times.

If any of my friends were into Dirt instead of sticking to their sports games or FPS', that would be a great idea. Until then myself, and thousands of other players, will just have to deal with the dicks for a few races. Small thing in the grand scheme of life.

That's what I was referring to, dude. ... which I avoid like the plague, bro. I learned that the hard way--the limited attempts I have made looking for strangers while hunting for achievements have resulted in hooking up with just too many mental 8 year olds. Not worth it at all. Nope, I prefer to keep my Friends List limited to actual friends who enjoy getting together for a few hours of fun. If that makes me the online equivalent of the grumpy old man who yells at the neighbor kids to keep of his lawn I can live with that. Like I said before--ain't nuthin but a small thing. All I ended up doing was host my own Jam Session using the 4 Shibuya tracks and waited 5-10 min for someone to join. So, in the 1st race when he spins me out--no biggie, accidents happen. But when he does it again on the 2nd race, it doesn't take a genius to know what kind of player I'm dealing with. The 3rd race, I just return the favor and put him into a wall. Win. Achievement unlocked. 1250g. On to the next one. Edited August 6, 2011 by Bullseye281 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightninUpBugs Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I miss the days of clean fun racing, a lil bump here or there...whatever but slaming cars as u go into corners instead of using ur brakes is a load of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlight racer Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 They're probably just get used to driving with the AI... Those little bastards like to hit you hard when they get the chance. I love it when you are running head to head with one, and the bastard AI suddenly tries to do a PIT maneuver on you, because you are racing the line they want.
