So i don't want to come up in here and just complain, I love this game.. but there is so much that this million dollar company can do to better the player its not even funny...
Here is a few things i have noticed in the "TWO WEEKS" I've been apart of the community...
1) Lobby jumpers = I find it so unfair and down right wrong that anyone in a 6-7.0 vehicle and just jump right in to any lobby they please just by joining a "friend".. Its not ok.. i mean there is plenty of new people on here that dont understand that concept of whats going on or know better on account of that car is 100%^ times faster/better then there little Civic Type R I do see this is something of the biggest issue that should be addressed.
2) The forums = These are the thing that keep most of the game on its toes, selling,reporting issues, finding teams..Etc, They are so darn slow on loading ANYTHING on any device whether it be my 900$ phone to my $7,000 built pc... loading screens take forever, to post something or comment on a post u have to refresh to even see it there. that should be work on as well..
3) Engine damage = How in the world does a vehicle foul out, and a vehicle run all the way down the lane and they get the same exact amount of damage?? Thats not right at all.. makes no sense...Didn't even leave the start point.. that should be addressed ...
4) Why does the letter on Facebook when we play from PC continuously have to change? why are they so difficult to see with all the clutter behind that horrible font? And why does the mouse even have to be used for racing? Can't we just use the up down arrows to shift? one button to launch and one for NOS? why make things so hard, they are bad enough ...
5) Ignore= What is the purpose of this button if it doesn't work? I hit ignore I can still, see there chat, I still get race requests, I still get friend adds for them to join on me in my D class room with there R class vehicle???? WOW not ok
6) A serious server upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is it I pass the finish line IN SLOW MO mind you, ahead of this vehicle by half a car and STILL lose the race????? the lag this game produces around turf time is ridiculous....
7) Acknowledgments of Admin= As I've made it clear here Admin really doesn't give two fucks on what we think considering nothing has been said here...
But on other note when there is a issue and a new topic is made, why don't admin ever say anything to help... Like a error screen or maybe can't connect to the server..sheeesh IDK.... seems that you only have a hand full of admin around here Ryys be the only to ever reply to anyone so which i've seen.
So far that is my point of view, I do understand EVERYONE of you have a different point and that's alright, we are all different.. But i just think if some things like this are brought to attention more maybe they could be attended to.. My biggest concern for the racing community is #1.

As to the changing launch key they claim that is to stop hackers which I'm sorry is just a load of bull. You don't think people can hack on Android or iPhone?
Besides which hackers could very easily have it setup that as soon as the needed launch key is displayed they hit that key before the launch button lights up so the hack knows what key to emulate.
That alone makes the reason for the random keys completely redundant.
Lobby jumpers seriously need to be addressed, I am getting sick and tired of sitting in a 12 second lobby only to have my ass handed to me by a 8 or 9 second car that has jumped in.
Friend requests should require authorization so people can't just blindly add you and then use you to jump into the slower rooms.
Ignore, I am told, only ignores private chat. Well sorry if I want to ignore someone I don't want anything to do with them at all.
The excruciatingly slow forums are just a joke, I am on a 500mb fiber connection and I still have to wait over a minute for each page to load, the rest of your website is fine so why are the forums so slow?
Engine damage should only be taken into account if the race is actually run.
And furthermore get rid of "invalid race, race was a tie" I still ran the damn race if it was a tie then either award both drivers the win amount or give both half either way I should still get something for running the race.
We also need some form of official car trading system, the number of car scammers on the servers that cie games is doing nothing about is disgusting, bring in and official car trading or car auction system and the scammers will be massively reduced.
I have spend real money on this game but no more, until at least some of these issues are addressed my wallet will remain closed, and I recommend others do the same.
Very well said, I am highly pleased to know someone else is on the same page and will speak up about these issues. These really need to be addressed and i do feel we need some acknoledgement on these matters, I pay to play this game i dont play for free, I cant tel you how much money I have dump from my pocket just to be ignored as such..
this post has been put up in order and STILL no acknowledgment from so called "staff/Admin"....This just goes to show how careless things are, Maybe this company is about revenue rather than the people that produce the money for them... Its very sad CIEgames, I expected something from you guys.. maybe a "Oh we are working on this BUT" or " this is why this is happening"... Nope... Horrible... Money changes people...proven fact right here..
Suggestions and feedback, but as it seems this area is more "suggestion" and no feedback haha
Have you know Admins here are garbage and i will come out and say it IDGAF anymore,. ive drop hundreds of dollars into this game in hopes it would better the player and make a change, nope.
Here is my other thread that has been ignored http://racingrivalsforum.ciegames.co...mes-and-amazon
Racism is complete bull**** and i am 100% against it, to have racial slurs thrown at me and NOBODY say a god damn thing nor even erase it is sheer bull****.
The fact is knowing the "PLAYERS" aren't heard and look over makes people leave this game.
1) Lobby jumpers = yes, its bringing u how it actually is on the street buddy.. Theres no actual such thing as strict verification for any random guys on the street.. U only based ur judgement based on what u see or wtv knowledge u have over ur opponent's car.. Theres no promised made anywhere that only ppl on ur lvl or rating will be in any public lobby.. Look at the lobby number.. No promises.. Actually im glad of the filter function added because theres no such luxury when ur driving for real... Use ure head.. Dont accept random pinks.. U had full control not to accept.. There is no unrejectable pink request.. U accepted it.. Be responsible for it urself.. BUT!! U know where the qualification of being in a lobby matters though?? In an actual tourney or event!! Like the Turf event we got! Lol good thing its regulated there.. Where it should only be...
2) The forums = Its a free forum.. Theres no subscription fee at all charged to anyone with an account here.. Have u read the t&c of the cie contact for the game to us Users? No promises at all that such an online platform to discuss was made to us, and yet it was still provided.. I want to thank cie for hosting this for Users, at least there is 1 site i know thats universal for Everyone.. K why is it slow? Cause bandwidth cost money.. Ur internet may be 500mbps, but imagine being a server where theres 100,000 trying to send n retrieve data from u all at once? 500mbps from the sever would reduce to a really poor.. Solution? Upgrade, ur right.. Whose to pay the additional cost though? How will those cost be transfered to Us the User? Id rather have a laggy forum thats free and i know is universal then having to pay to it which will make it exclusive to some.. Leading the rest to do their own site.. Lol more risk to me thats what that sounds like...
3) Engine damage = Principles of the race are : Win = +, Lose = -, Tie = nothing.. Taking ur suggestion of sharing points, lets not forget about sharing the deduction on sc then? Hm wait a minute.. + and - = nothing anyways..
4) Why does the letter on Facebook when we play from PC continuously have to change? - It adds an extra layer to prevent or discourage botting as it makes it that much harder for someone to utilize personal bots to farm the game in one way or another automatically on its own..
5) Ignore - if i were to ignore a truck coming my way as i was crossing the street, I would not be able to see or realize the truck is even making any sounds to alert me.. Me ignoring the truck Does not make me disappear or be unseen to the truck., lol. Ignorr means not to care abt another Noun (ppl, places, or things). It is entirely Ur own views, and attention. Has nothing to do with the Noun being ignored's attention and awareness.. What u r describing is a different function all together commonly referred to as "Block" in facebook and ig.
6) A serious server upgrade - yes this happens sometimes.. How many times out of 100 though? Significant? The game utilizes some projection function to the races to keep bandwidth transfer btwn Players low (so the game be playable internationally) which i think is brilliant. Its not perfect but at least theres replays for us to see what really happened.. What i do is i switch to a quiet room and just skip through the replays and just watch what i want to from the lobby.
7) Acknowledgments of Admin - this is a community forum.. The feed back and suggestion can come from Anyone in this community... Are u sure u have any legal rights to think the Admin of cie should respond to ur forum post on a community site? Hmm, again for this you should really be looking at sending the tickets and email directly to CIE (where theres
Actual company SOP timeline they have to obey and are subjected to internally). Not here. Im sure if u bothered to read the Help menu in game, theyed explain all this to you and save ur time...
K learn to chill and stop crying
1. This is because its suppose to be a game that you can play with your friends. When you deal (sell/trade/buy) in the game this is necessary thing.
2. The forums unfortunately in that department has been a hit and miss and admins are hoping to upgrade the forums but the game comes first.
3. Great suggestion will let an admin know about this. I know this has been brought up before but will bring it up again.
4. Haven't really been on the facebook version of the game
5. havent had to ignore anyone either lmao
6. You are not running against your live opponent during the race. You are racing against what the person usually runs. Only after the race are the results sent to the servers and the winner is determined. You are NOT running against him at exactly that time though. This has been brought up and there should be a thread to explain this more in detail if you need be.
7. The admins work with us moderators to upkeep the forums. The admins have other things to take care of and like Mud Digger has stated the one and only admin that is in charge of the forums has been on vacation. Most times a moderator will answer your questions and if worse comes to worse we will let the admins know.
For future reference as well this should go under the bugs thread seeing that this deals with more what is wrong with the game. Hope this helped you!!!! Thanks for bringing these things up!
