The Grand Race QOL - Safety Measures

[blazing oak]

You probably already know how chaotic it is, so I'll just cut to the chase. (If you don't, just check it on Youtube, it should be self-explanatory.)

The Grand Races are fun, as they are, but I think we can agree that it needs some changes, to say the least. Here are some of my suggestions:

• Non-Contact Start: A non-contact start ensures that all players have a fair chance to get away from the grid without being hindered by collisions. 25 seconds is a reasonable time frame for this, allowing sufficient space for everyone to spread out.

• High-Speed Collision Prediction Mechanism: Implementing a system to predict potential high-speed collisions is a smart safety measure. This could help prevent situations where multiple cars collide in a chain reaction, leading to chaotic pile-ups. By providing warnings or taking preventive measures, the game could enhance safety during intense moments.

Overall, these races should remain full-contact, as they were meant to be in the first place, but we still need this. With these, in my humble opinion, the Grand Races would be a lot more enjoyable and fair, without disrupting their entire core value.

You're already getting all of the GR fun out of the GR... I disagree. But, it could be nice to have some "ghost recovery" after reset 🙂

On one hand I agree that the GR is fun, but still chances have to be made, imo.

I'm not expecting penalties for collisions, forcing off the track, etc. (leave that shit to the sim racers).
But the least they could do are the changes I mentioned. It improves the experience, while retaining the nature of the GR.

It's a win-win, either way. 🙂

I used to think Grand race needed a lot of fixing too, but then I noticed the biggest problem with the grand race is that it's the only multiplayer mode and it's a casual mode. It's honestly really fun for what it is, we just want to play something different.

They need to make a mode more competitively driven. Like an 8 player, no collision, 1 map, 1 car race. Like the normal race every other racing game has.

[blazing oak]

Honestly, what I suggested is nothing too big. We can still keep it as it is, for the most part, it's just that these changes would make it a tad bit more enjoyable, that's all I'm saying.

And yeah, we definitely need more modes besides this and Demolition Royale.

If you guys read the lastest patch notes there was mention to new pvp elements on the future.... when only they can tell

[blazing oak]

Yes... I know about that, they have been talking about bringing the Live Battle races (or something similar to that) from tc2 to here, a while ago.

But yeah, we don't know when

[hushed mesa]

A separate ‘ranked’ or competitive game mode would add a lot and keep the chaotic stuff of the original game mode

[blazing oak]

The Grand Race could be it. But I'd still say that it needs this stuff, at the very least, in order to make things a little more fair for everyone.

Plus, if casual modes were to be implemented, the Grand Race could still remain the most rewarding.

[hushed mesa]

Yea for me and my friends at least the grand race is the funnest thing because of the crashes and chaos. having it removed for safety and not being a separate gamemode would probably ruin the fun at least for me and probably others who feel the same

[blazing oak]

If you read, the idea is not to remove collisions entirely.

I'm pretty much providing some alternatives on how I could make this experience better for everyone, without disrupting the nature of the Grand Race completely.

Imo, the 25 second non-contact start is a must.

Pls fix the FPS Drops on PS4. You cant drive with 10FPS after both patches this an last week
