If you imagine an 18 stage rally with no checkpoints at all, then a strategy which takes advantage for Codies' fail would be to split it into 3 segments, each of 6 stages. So: 6 fast, then restart game and do that 6 slowly, then the next 6 fast, then restart and do 12 slowly and the final 6 fast. End result: you never have more than 6 stages of wear and tear on your car, and you only have to drive the entire rally twice. Not exactly prohibitively difficult for someone who wants to do it...
You also get to throw in an extra restart any time you like if you have a crash (which could of course add anything up to another 17 stages of boredom each time it happens).
@Neil rdrc I mean no disrepect towards anyone with regards to what is said below. It`s a generalisation on your quote above and of people today.
If people, do what you said above. In my book, that is a questionable fail on the Developers part in a Game
.
What happened to honor and fair play in general, with gamers, without exploiting,cheating or using a work around to get a second chance or become no 1 in a game? (not directed at anyone just in general)
I remember the good old days when people had respect and honor for their fellow gamer's and didn't exploit, cheat, etc. Ive seen it change in the last 5-20 years from being respectable in general to becoming rather toxic for games
, especially with regards to the younger gaming audience 10-18 on consoles and pc's who have little, to no respect for their fellow gamers
But some do have respect !!!
Codemasters should allow people who make Rally Leagues, like RDRC the option to allow NO RESTARTS (unless already added) in the league options when it`s made, Like in the Daily's , Weekly's, Monthly's. That way, the problem will be solved but it wont stop the people who are cheaters, Like the ALT+F4 exploit was a unwelcome one, as i watched so many people on Twitch who exploited this in Dirt Rally, as this way, If you go all out and if you crash really bad, Then you can restart. It was VERY BAD, Until the devs fixed it, Finally .....
No i did not use it, encase anyone asks.
I expect serious flack for what i posted above, but its my own opinion on the matter.
I mean NO DISREPECT TO ANYONE OR RACEDEPARTMENT.
