Since this weeks OMP Tournament I was just racing the Multiplayer occasionally. But this time there were lots of cars involved which are fully upgraded or at least close to it.

I don´t have to repeat what is going on - same happens to me and I share ecxactly the same thoughts.

But what adds up to this in a negative way is the buggy gameplay in multiplayer mode.

1. Sometimes I leave the opponents rather far behind, reaching the finish line first - but on the table afterwards I am placed second, third or worse. I don´t understand how this can happen.

2.Starting sequence - normally there is the countdown, then the lights appear and after 3 seconds = green lights -> Go! What happens instead several times is: The Race starts without the lights all of a sudden. No proper Countdown. Plus I encountered a new problem: The race starts and in the same second an opponent races past me as if he had a flying start! Plus: Sometimes the game doesn´t count the laps correctly. I HAVE TO DRIVE AN EXTRA LAP!!

Screenshot proves it:



And you know people: I played RR3 from the beginning (maybe almost 3 years now?) invested around 400-500 bucks in al the years. And if there was an issue what made me file a complaint to firemonkeys (about 6-8 times) I NEVER got a satisfactory reply from support. NEVER. Always the same standard BS messages. "Did you reinstall the game?" "Make sure your internet connection is ok" blablabla. This is besides their greediness the most annoying thing of all. Premium Price tags should go along with premium support. They are making enough money to care about the customers more. Same with the car winning events - as if the challenges weren´t hard enough, sometimes there are bugs which make it impossible to win because the game does not registrate that you actually did everything as described (for example following a car for 1000 meters or so)

Ok at least, I received the McLaren 675LT, the Zonda R, the Formula E and maybe 1-2 other cars for free. Also i did not complete the Ferrari La Ferrari Challenge and suddenly I had it in my garage without any announcement.

Also they made me an Elite-Racer which makes me receive double daily rewards. But I don´t think I have to make a kneefall  for it since I spent more on that game than on any other in my whole life.

But back to the human misbehavior in Multiplayer racing. As mentioned before, this time I took it serious and really wanted to score in his period. I think my skills would be sufficient to crawl on the first three (or maybe not :) )

But when I reached 1000 points some idiot, which can´t accept that someone drives a bit faster, pushes me off the track and so I´ll lose against some 500 point paricipants, results in the last place and 100 points are lost. I always go down to 6-700 in a steady cycle - rarely because of failing on driving.

Yesterday I was so angry, I looked two guys up on facebook and wrote them a message like: improve your skills instead of making a demolition derby out of it. One guy was actually a really nice person who apologized to me and we had a cool chat afterwards. Who would have expected this. (I messaged them in a rather polite way btw.)

One example was the worst: I was racing with the Audi R8 V10 close behind somebody with a Ferrari FF on Melbourne the whole lap. Suddenly this sucker lowered his speed in the last chicane to make me crash into him, because maybe he knew exactly that i will take him behind this spot. He did the same on purpose on other tracks at suitable spots. Never experienced something like this before.

I know it is just a game and I should not take it too serious. But spent another 30 bucks on upgrade completion on some cars and when real money is involved for advancement, it starts to bother me a bit.

To find a valve for my anger, I started putting vinyls with a clear message on my cars. Don´t think it really helps though :D
