Remove Front Wheel Lock.

Post by PINNEDTOWIN »

At this point MXS has reached a new level of speed and competition. When you have this many fast riders laying around in the first corner because they lightly bumped another rider and proceeded to fall over slowly until they hit the ground then slowly get back up it just looks silly and makes for bad racing. I think that front end lock works for higher speeds but could we at least remove it for low speeds? At least give it a try in the 02 server and see if it does improve the race quality.

The slowly falling over is what I really don't like.

i have to agree on this! every week its the same deal. going slow then you just touch a wheel and your going down and then its just the same for everyone behind aswell

I do plan on loosening up the dabbing force restriction. Probably not enough to satisfy anyone though...

JLV. In real life you arms and legs to save yourself from falling over if you are going to fall after bumping someone else. Not only is it unrealistic, it is ruining the racing and the main cause of these insane pile-ups in turn one.

The whole thing to me that makes it so bad is when you rub someone while going at slower than walking speed after a pileup started and you want to weave through.

Then you fall over and clog the track even more. And then the next guy. Then no one can get going because of it. Then you fall down 3 more times trying to get going because you can't weave through even if you try to be patient.

Right now it rewards you for just banzaiing and trying to plow through the pileup because atleast you won't be in the pack when you get up. Seems backwards.

Doesn't help the rider sticks to the bike making it half a track wide with no gap between to shoot for... but that's a whole other topic.

And I didn't race tonight, so this post isn't coming via a rage about the race. The first 3 laps of a race make this game look horrid with bikes flopping upside down with riders stuck to them and 12 rider pile ups with guys flopping around like fish.

Not trying to be cruel, but would love to see this issue taken seriously and fixed.

Also it would help with battles and passing eachother, atleast make it more interesting.


i agree and know we have made out point out many times about this issue, maybe have a feature to test for only large event races only ? like arcade mode for the server ?
