why I don't play PVP... the reason for me not to play PVP event is one big problem and that is the carousel. you never ever cet to play the races or tracks you want to play because the carousel is always in your way. if the caruosel was only there after you made made up you mind what you wanna play, it would be fine. But as it stands now you have no choice because the carousel is the dictator that makes you play game types I dont wanna play.
That's because there are other people in the lobby who don't want to play what you want to. I don't know what you expect from the game. I would rather have a choice and be upset knowing I had a chance to get my race of choice rather than the game selecting one for everyone that nobody in the lobby wants.
Isn't it blindingly obvious that what he wants is to join a lobby and not have to play game modes he isn't interested in ? MOST games DO manage to let you join the specific game type you are interested in playing, or have a rotation of events/modes following specific themes.
I feel the OP 100% on this one. My heart sinks every time im in a lobby and Crown mode wins the vote.
Or even better, when you're doing Summit PVP and a Crown/Blitz is voted there, but the person who did the vote is AFK the entire event because that is what everyone does there anyway. Good times...
Maybe people going AFK is a pc thing as i've only seen it a handful of times at most on xbox in 2 years. I would personally like an option to enter a lobby for races or a lobby for the Crown/Blitz but the way the OP has worded his post its not clear 100% what he's exactly complaining about. Is it he wants to race and the entire lobby picks crown or is it just his option never getting selected at all out of 4 races picked?
I prefer to race playing alone but with a crew of friends all using headsets the other events are a million times more fun.
Sometimes I get in a lobby instantly, sometimes im waiting 20 minutes so seperating the lobbies in my eyes would only make waiting times worse as the player base isn't what it used to be.
If Ivory actually pulled their finger out and created some more races, crown/blitz locations, added races for monster trucks, drag and drift events it would possibly bring many people back to the game.
They don't even have to make new events ,just let us select what spec you want to race in on what track (within reason, can't select circuit or perf for offroad)
@,LarsOP.
You sir exactly got the point I Was trying to make. I Would very much want a free choise in what game type I would like to play in PVP. I for one like to race Dirt and asphalt, but dirt or rally style are my thing. So there for I would the option to avoid game types like Crown or Blitz. And so be able to race or rally with other players like me and with that the possibility to make new friends to play with. and I bet that there are many players like me who dont play PVP for similar reasons. every other race game out there gives you that option.
I've been wanting this as well. Ideally what I'd like to see is the current PVP Lobby renamed to Casual PVP Lobby, and set up a new Ranked PVP Lobby using mechanics from the Summit PVP as well as other restrictions (Hypercar only, Muscle only etc etc) in events to force better balancing. Oh and needless to say Crown and Blitz Brawl would not be available.Originally Posted by BlackLotusLV Go to original post
This sounds like way more work than we can reasonably expect though, I know. ;D
I actually prefered the old PVP lobby system, where they were region specific, so i would sit in LA lobby and do mostly Circuit races, and if im in Miami then i would be offered mostly Perf races. Yes the lobby wait times were extremely long for certain lobbies but I liked that i could choose. Mostly because I'm not a big fan of Street races and they seem boring to me, so if you join a PvP lobby where most of the players want to play street, its extremely not fun for me.Originally Posted by LarsOP Go to original post
this fun mode needs changing because they are not fun, they are Fairground attractions........
ps: i dont play PvP either because of these fairground attractions...... if there are 5 in lobby 4 choose race and 1 chooses crown, 75% of the time crown is picked. if no one chooses and the lobby picks over 50% of time crown is picked by the system..... it's about time they overhauled their overhaul of PvP because it's this fairground stage that has stopped me and many friends playing because we dont like bumper cars...
