Hello!
I've been playing TDU since last Monday and I've been having a great time with all kinds of people who are nice and such. The game is a blast playing online, especially after I got hardcore mode, sometimes I find guys who also have hardcore mode and is into drifting and we go drifting together without even knowing eachother.
That's just great!
Now before you go all crazy over the attitude, I'm not pushing every Brit over the same edge, no no, I met this other Brit who I now got on my friendlist and we drifted some today etc. he was really calm and relaxed guy.
So, as I was saying, I really enjoy the community, but how come that there are ONLY Brittish guys who are being total assholes? I'm not the ignore type of guy, so I usually stay at the same spot drifting around as usual and listening to their insults about my accent and etc. Though I do not try to escalade the whole situation, usually I just sit and listen, maybe laugh about it too, or tell them off. But I'm never getting aggrevated over it.
Every single fella I met at TDU has been nice, bust most Brits I've met has been total assholes.
Like this one day I was racing around the Oahu Raceway in a green Camaro, and there were like four-five Brits doing some laps at the track by motorbikes, since my car was a lot slower I tried to let them pass all the time. But this one guy among the group of Brits was laggy, and I never see him crash into me, but he used some very vulgare language swearing over my green car.
He basically told me to F-off and told his friend's how f-ing annoyed he was by my f-ing green car.
But I didn't mind him and just continued to drive around the track. But these Brits stopped at the last turn all the time, and my green Camaro had a hard time trying to steer away from four bikes that were parked all over the road.
And everytime I went pass them, they begun racing again, and everytime they begun racing, they caught up on me, and everytime the caught up on me, this guy sweared all about me all the time.
Eventually I had enough when he said "This f-ing green car is all over the track and can't f-ing drive" and told him "Shut up, I can drive" in a rather ironic and friendly way. (Yes, it's true)
That's when he went overboard and just threw insult after insult at me telling me to f-off and get off the track. I told him to simply calm down and I'm just here to have a good time.
What's up with that?
Today I met a Brit in a Saleen who constantly crashed into me. Then he asked me something like "Do you know how to do the eight trick?" or something, but I couldn't understand at first what he was saying, not because of language issues, but because it sounded like he breathed into the mic as he was talking.
I told him I didn't know what he was saying, eventually a friend of him came up and he asked his friend the same thing. His friend showed him how to do it, so I thought "oh, I might as well go check it out, because I wanna know what it was all about", so I went to the big turn at Oahu raceway and this Saleen guy started to ram into me. I told him to quit it but he immidiatly turned out to be a real a$$.
He complained at my accent and such, tried to insult me with "your mother" jokes and called me a "German". Well, I thought it all was pretty silly, so I didn't get aggrevated at all. Though I did talk to both of them, but they were both arrogant and insultive all the time.
Eventually I left because my dad was going to watch Formula 1.
Now I'm sitting here and is pretty darn tired of the attitude problems among all of the Brits (except a few) that I've met on TDU. These were only two examples, I've had about four occasions when this happend, and everytime there have been more than one Brit.
Also, I'm not a person who pushes everyone over the same edge because something one person does. So if there is any Brittish fella on this forum which I take for granted - don't be offended, if you're not one of these guys, then you're fine and I'll be glad to drift or just cruise with ya one day!
Anyone else had problems with these type of people?
PS. I know "ignoring" is the solution to most thing on the internet. So no need to tell me!
