Middle of track stoppers

Post by Brina927 »

It's been twice that I was going to make this topic but ended up not because I couldn't figure out a way to solve the problem. But I figure I'll just post it and maybe someone else can :D It seems more and more often that some idiot stops right in the middle of the track or corner and sits there forever. Wether it's because they're doing it to cause crashes or going to the bathroom it's annoying. If you're going to stop, get off the track. Yes, there are sometimes you can take a different line to avoid hitting them but it's not like you can always see and know where they're stopped at(With my luck I never do and end up on the ground). I just wish there was some way that after so long someone just sits in the middle of the track you can't run into them. Maybe they get put into some type of ghost mode till they move again? Idk =/ To me it's a problem, not sure if anyone else feels this way.

If they do not move for a while they are kicked from the server, this message appears: "Random fell asleep", "Random disconnected", I do not know how much time is needed for this to happen though.

That takes quite a while. I suppose that time could be made shorter.
If you are not riding then you shouldn't be in the server.

It's set to 5 minutes right now. It's nice to have a little time when you're organizing a race.

Well that's why I was suggesting some sort of ghost mode or something like if you don't hit the next gate in 1 minute ur invisible till you hit it. I mean yeah sometimes I go off the track to do something real quick and I can be gone for a bit. It's just on the track that's the problem. If only there was a way to tell =/
