The Races Are So Stupid

[c_l_n]

Why did they make it so that the first person takes so much damage, yet the player in last takes no damage at all. Why did they add these super boosts and the drift city boosts? Why are the chances of getting a special increase for the people in the last places. Did they do this to make the races fair? It obviously isn't fair when other players have WAY better advantages, no matter what place they are. Its so stupid when someone in last place gets a drift city logo boost that sends the from 8th to first, or moves up the ranks majorly. Theres a fine line between skill and CHEAPNESS, and DC Battle zone pasts that line by far. The only boost that should be available is the regular boost, and the gates should only fill up your boost by 50 or 100%, not depending on what place you are in. All the skill in the race gets wiped out when players can just all of a sudden go twice as fast as you and take no or less damage. Ok i'm done rambling :doh:

[Achmed]

Hmm...i tottaly agree...itd prolly be better without the boost's

[Ozaki]

No ur stupid

[rpk1991]

ok i agree but boost are what make the game that much more fun... i just wish it wouldnt be so overpowerd... or atleast give us the option of turning on and off whatever boosts as we please :thumbsup:

[Dfdk]

... Dude.... if you don't like it, do the obvious thing, DON'T FREAKIN PLAY THAT PART OF THE GAME!!!

[DirtyMexican1327]

Well, I find that the only time a Drift city or turbo boost really get someone from last to first would be at the beginning. But seeing as how they probably suck and will crash alot, you dont need to worry about those peeple. And its also kinda nice that if you messed up, u can get anotehr chance, just not be screwed the entire race.

[k0r3aN_pR1d3]

"if you can't stand the heat, don't play the game."


Learn how to dodge cars. Then the race is considerably more fair.

[CookieMunstr]

hm never noticed the part about 1st place gettin less durability O_O +rep for u xD

[Lirium]

It's perfectly fine. If you can't adjust to the game, then it's your own fault don't complain about the game. I love the Drift City boosts. Here's a tip: When you're near the first gate, try to go in as one of the last people, so you get good things like Drift City and Hyper Boost while the nub that blindly rushes the gate hoping for something good gets nothing or 50%. It doesn't make much difference if you're last at the first gate since everyone's really close together and you can get in front of them easily.

[Commander]

In the end, most people get a boost when passing through first gate ><

[Chang_Nation]

err, i mostly go thru first gate and i still win. it also depends on luck, when i am in last place i rarly ever get any drift citys or hyper boost. what is bad is that first person gets dmged most thats what i hate, i mean first person works so hard to try to keep alive while the back people get all these boosts and are like immortals. the game can never be 100% fair anyway

[Em0Cyanide]

if u noe how to drive ur car properly, u can prolly just lead from start to finish with nothing and normal boosts. Corners are the best way to increase ur lead. Make sure u get a clean exit from a corner and u can make sure that the ppls behind u eat ur dust.

[Ereny]

I think that boosts make the game all about luck...and dodge cars dont help ... when u get a drift city
or hyper or any boost u get from the last to first ... which makes the game all about luck ... and
the person at 1st doesnt get those boosts so the game is totally unbalanced...least i hope they
make a mode without no boosts ...

[c_l_n]

Yea you all have great opinions. Let me just restate what I was trying to say. They made the game to be fair right? Well I think that it would be fair without the variables depending on your race position. All cars should take the same damage, and have an equal chance of getting specials at the gate.

[Broken]

I don't agree about damage but the boost I agree with.

If all car took same damage, Unlimit would be teh pwnage for a v5 car, so what I'm saying is, if you want great speed you need something to even that out (ie. crap durability)

[keys]

i think the game is perfect the drift city IS SUPPOSED to take the last place person to first. Same with all the other power ups. but really it's not all based on luck if you have skill and the other person has none at all without a constant stream of drift city's the skilled person will still win. dodging traffic is probably just as important as making sure you drift well. at least that's what how I've come to understand the battle zone.

[c_l_n]

@broken: I think you missunderstood. Aside from your car's durability, the person in forst place takes a massive amount of damage for a crash. As the ranks progress lower, the amount of damage their cars take for damage decreases as well. Las place take hardly any damage at all

[Chang_Nation]

yes cause it gives a chance for him to get back up along with the crazy boosts, i say damage should be same and boosts should depend on distance. sometimes at last gate some1 behind you gets a drift city and wins... and stuff like that.

if we each had equal chance of getting drift citys and such then if first person keeps getting them who can beat him? what if its because he also has a better car and parts. is that fair?

[Juice_-]

No ur stupid

Why is that? Hes just expressing his opinion and you shoot it down.

#1 Why do you play this game and have to come to the forums and complain?
Nothing to say but this... LoLuMaD??!

So basically what you are saying, is that REGARDLESS of effort and skill, the guy who sucks, should somehow be able to win? You can add all that fluff that you stated, but at the core thats what you mean. I disagree completely. If someone is very focused, driving very well, only getting a few boosts here in there due to being in 1st place, then here comes some hot shot with drift city boost, hyper boost or even invincible rush. Now, give them the same skills (even momentarily)...Guess what? The guy with the boost is going to win.

How can you call that perfect?

I realize there are VERY, (read: VERY) limited situations where your argument applies, but the rest of the 90% of the time, doesn't apply at all.

wtf? lol ur shooting it down to ...

[Commander]

Doesn't Invicible Rush suck more than a Drift City rush? =$

It's far shorter =]

[Em0Cyanide]

ya the damage should be equal for all. repairs are the leading few cars' worst fear... there was 1 time where i was leading and 2 turns away from finish and i accidentally drifted into a car and repair... i lost like 4 places >.< boosts are ok. like i said, as long u can drive cleanly, there is a low chance that a average player with imba boosts can beat u

[reg1to10]

dam you ppl are so stubburn its a free game its a copy of a game from korea
so just play it or go do something else
theres always xbox and ps3 that have racing games and you can go online
so just be happy its free

[Kelystic]

A race without those GATES, but better car physics, will improve the game A LOT.

Come on, do some GRIP racing.

[Ozaki]

Its DRIFT City. u can read that?

[Streetsweepa]

stop complaining and stay in 6th or 7th and get the good items but at the same time try and stay in distance of first den u will win. jsut stop crying ur just ruining a good game

[k0r3aN_pR1d3]

If you want realism, there are plenty of games out there that offer realism. We don't need another ultra realistic driving experience game.

[agito13]

No boost?? kinda boring without it~... when you're in boost mode, it feels like in the fast and the furious. Everything would be a bit blurry and then a truck would cross the road and you would say "WTF" !! rofl !!

[NoobyPwner]

Who knows maybe they'll have the option to turn off gates.

[reaLimit]

Guys stop making threads like this, just agree to make it choosable, gates or no gates in the race room, just how you can choose what map.

[Terry0412x]

If you don't like it, don't work with it.
In other words, stop playing if you hate it so much. Geez.

[SungHoon]

rename this game to "boost city" >.>

dud wtf i didn't mean that at all no need to get all postal at me. all i'm saying is i don't get why people are mad at the power ups for doing what their supposed to do. i should have used a better word than perfect because it's true that it's not hell no game is(thats right i said it halo freaks). maybe they could create some sort of system that judges the players distance from the lead and then give out the power ups accordingly. as for the guy who sucks should always have a chance... only to a certain extent then if they still can't win well it's their fault and most players that have skill can beat last place when they get a drift city anyway. i think drift city shouldn't practically drive for you if you hit a wall at 90 degrees and i don't think second and third place in a close pack of the top 3 should be able to get anything other than a 50% increase like first place. but that would take time much like everything else that people are suggesting. the things that we are suggesting if they do actually use them we won't see them for a LONG TIME. they already have a schedule of features they plan to release so they have to release those things first and plus they would have to program them into the game and release them in skid rush first most likely and test them there for a bit and then after a month or maybe even months will we get those ideas here. that is all assuming they even consider any of these ideas.

duh if you don't like it. then don't play the game! gawd i hate ppl that complain about a game and won't just shuddup and leave it alone!....now....i feel better...you going to stop complaining and either get good at racing or ur going to quit the game completely got it?

[Possible]

Smh, what most of you are failing to see here is the fact that if you drive right, your probably going to win. You guys saying you drive perfect races and lose to a DC booster are most of the time LYING. I watch you you wreck, and you do not turn acceptable and all that other jazz. Learn the tracks, drive right and you will succeed. Know when to boost know when NOT TO BOOST, and plan ahead before a turn. That is all.

[Dengotu]

lol well said... read my sig demon :)

[parkyo]

The boosts is what makes the game fun, but seriously boosts alone can't give you victory. Your driving pretty much decides if you win or not.

[kat2dx]

Exactly right. A noob with DC or IR is likely to have it run out just before/during a corner, end up on the sidewalk due to carrying too much speed through a corner, eat four trees and maybe a wall, and repair, where you should be breezing past them.

[ReyMafioso]

i agree with this guy its kinda dumb that people in first place is basically screwed no boost or less boost and way way less durability i mean i had a durability based car with 200 durability i was in first i hit one bus in the intersection and had to repair what kinda unfair crap is that

[Shinji27]

i have to agree with the people that say that its all up to the driving skill of the player. I personally love the boosts, they are really fun and awesome and make the game WAY more challenging to play. Its seriously hard to have a DC or a Hyper-Boost and still drift/turn without slowing down too much or eating it on the sidewalk. There have been at least 20%-40% of my races that I've won by being in first the entire time, receiving only 50% boost or nothings, and then second or last corner one of the trailers comes flying by with DC or hyperboost and just SLAMS into all the traffic or the wall and I just breeze on by and take 1st again. If you know how to avoid traffic and correctly turn 90% of the time then other people getting DC or hyperboosts shouldn't really be a problem at all.

Supporting those that stated that DC+Hyperboost are nice 2nd chance options I have to totally agree. I realllllllyyyyyy get ticked off when I'm in that giant mess of cars at the beginning due to my low acceleration and THEN one of the newer players that got a nice small boost or something from the first gate goes way up ahead and somehow causes enough traffic to completely clog up a turn or straight away and then everyone starts zig zaggin every which way and you're like "zommggg which way to go to avoid teh trafficSSS" and then you end up way behind because somehow you attract every piece of traffic like a fun-loving magnet :(. In those cases I especially love DC + Hyperboost becuase it allows me to zoom past most of the traffic and traffic hitting players and then guess what, I don't experience anymore clogged traffic because I can actually avoid the traffic now! :P

Any how...just my little old 2cents :D

hahaha well said dude XD thats how its like for me to XD

[NeoShinobi]

This game has a lot of features but it totally lacks the options on everything.
