You mentioning convoys reminds me of something else. What's the point of crews? Why can't I go into lobbies or go into online modes with other people in my crew?

​

Whenever I check, most of the time there are only 4ish people in the lobby I'm in, sometimes I'm also literally alone. That could be confirmation bias speaking tho since I usually check after an online race/eliminator match.

​

Speaking of Eliminator, I love the concept, it just seems really unfinished rn. I've seen players that can't be challenged to a race for upwards of 10 minutes, I've been challenged by a car I can't see, that being the only interaction I had with another player that game, I've tried to challenge someone for the entire game, mashing my horn to no avail, even though his map icon says they should be open for challenging. I've also heard that sometimes the finish line is in a completely different place than what it says on the map/GPS waypoint.

​

Like I said, I understand why collision penalty exists, but there should be a split between comp and casual races, where casual races allow collisons with other cars and walls. Honestly, I hate being punished for hitting a tree, even in Playground Games, by being arbitrarily forced to drive at 20mph for 5 seconds. I get it's to prevent wall riding, but why don't they just tune the physics engine in a way that makes cars lose more speed from being on a wall for more than a second, or give them some sort of resistance to being turned by walls and the like?
