Why do people complain about bumping in SRL?!
Its a competitive race! Any idiot can drive a sparrow through a gate unhindered. It would be boring and there would almost be no way to improve your position in the race since all sparrows have the same stats.
Ever played Mario Kart? Twisted Metal? Split Second? Star Wars Podracer?
If you want to race without getting bumped, go play with your sparrow in patrol

#Destiny

5 RepliesWe need an upgrade. Every 15 gates you get a charged ability based on your subclass and it let's you use a grenade or melee (a subclass powered bump/boost for ramming) If you save up your gate count to 30 you can use a modified version of your super the ability lasts 3 seconds so you can't just sit on it. Gunslingers get 1 golden gun shot with combustion. The grenade would be tripmine. Melee is charged Blade dancers get a Shockwave that goes forwards or backwards Grenade is skip Melee is just a charged bump Nightstalkers get a grenade that releases tethers or smoke Grenade is wall Melee is charged Sunsinger gets flame body, whoever they bump into catches on fire for 3 seconds Grenade is the one that doesn't stick Melee is charged Voidwalker gets a small nova bomb to launch forward or backwards Grenade is shatter Melee charged bump Stormtrancers gets electric tendrils in a small radius on all sides for 3 seconds Grenade is arc bolt Melee is charged Defender gets an immunity bubble for 3 seconds Grenade is suppression (stops boost for those affected for 3 seconds) Melee is charged bump Striker gets a Shockwave that emits 3 blasts Grenade is flashbang (huehuehue) Melee is charged Sunbreaker get 3 hammers tossed out at the same time going various distances similar to the shatter of a Voidwalker that leave sunspots. Grenade is incendiary Melee is charged. Yeah there's some op shit, but quite frankly being hit by any of it would suck. Also gate charges go away after use, so if you have 28 gates and you use a melee or grenade ability, you lose 15 gates so you are back down to 13. And considering there's usually around 60-70 gates total across a complete race Noone could spam an ability.

It wouldn't be Destiny without frustration and questionable mechanics, gg to Bungie for keepin it real.
-
Baja rules man. If your slow you get bumped.
-
I don't care, I've got my S licence soo fuuuukkkk uuuuuii
-
Because people complain about this game no matter what. Most of them would be younger then 17 and have no real problems.
-
Because people don't understand the mechanics. I was playing with friends and without knowing it, bumped a friend off their line. Playing against randoms, I try to bump people off their line - and I go flying. I understand that bumping and grinding are part of the race. I just want to know the mechanics of the game.
-
1 ReplyThe problem with bumping is that its inconsistent (like almost everything else in this game). If there were actual mechanics that you could learn and master in regards to bumping it wouldnt be a problem because you could learn how to effectively do it to other people or avoid it.

1 ReplyBumping is one thing... bumping me off a 300 foot cliff and then taking 10 seconds to resplendent is annoying
-
6 RepliesI'm more concerned about going dead center through a gate and it saying I missed than anything

Edited by SNIKTSNIKTSNIKT: 12/16/2016 4:11:36 AMHa well said. Got a message after a race today.... "Ever hear of a clean race, retard" This after he finished 3rd instead of second....😢 Of course I never got bumped at all.

i got rammed off the side from a guy that was hiding behind a pillar, he costed me 1st. yes, im salty

SOME shoving is to be expected, but to the degree that is present in SRL is just absurd. It probably wouldn't be so bad if everyone wasn't stuck at the same top speed, even if you hit the gates and get a sudden boost, as long as everyone else does too (which is almost a given) then you are guaranteed to almost constantly be surrounded by a shoving mob of other riders or have that same mob within inches of your tail pipe for most of, if not the entire freakin' race (which is what happens like 85% of the time, unless there is a massive pileup at some point). On another note, Mario Cart and other games like it should not be used as a reason to justify aggressive behavior in SRL because unlike SRL, Mario Cart and other death race style games implemented their in race violence correctly as deliberate violence, and not as a bunch of precisely timed pushing and shoving to get through one tiny little gate (which is often placed at an inconvenient angle, or in an inconvenient spot and penalizes you for missing it), not to mention in those games you could upgrade your vehicle or grab power-ups along the race track that would give you an advantage, in addition to the fact that each vehicle had unique pros and cons, which is not entirely the case with sparrows. People complain about the pushing and shoving in SRL, because they have a legitimate reason to complain about it, not necessarily "because they suck at SRL" (which is an ignorant and childish way of dismissing things by the way).

2 RepliesAgreed! Although there are a couple of Sparrows which have different stats like Timebreaker and Tumbler 😊
-
It's the fact that it feels like [i]my[/i] sparrow is a styrofoam plane and theirs is a hurricane chasing tank. Why can someone throw me off course at the slightest touch and make me waste my dodges to get back on track, but if I try to do the same, it just ends as if they bumped me. What the actual -blam!- I liked being donkey kong in Mario kart. I'm not used to this shit

[quote] It would be boring and there would almost be no way to improve your position in the race since all sparrows have the same stats. [/quote] Tell that to me, i got from fifth to first in the final gate, the final lap. GG

They are babies who have never played a racing game before. I couldn't be having any more fun with it this year. Bring on your bumping, I'll still blow the lead and come in 5th. And I'll have a big ole smile on my fave in the process. Race on Guardians and continue to smash into each other

2 RepliesBecause they suck at SRL.

1 Replyit's cool we've all done it and had It happen to us
-
Because we live in the age of entitlement where People think they are owed something. On one hand it's sad, on another it's pretty funny.
-
I don't know, it's the only thing that makes the races even remotely interesting
-
I'm not even aware when I bump and PIT other racers, so I don't get upset when it happens to me
-
It's because the player isn't actually bumping you on their screen half the time
-
1 ReplyNo idea. I get bumped and still manage to get the wins I need to advance. People come up with any excuse they can for why they are not able to do well in an activity. They are the same people that whine about the meta.
-
I wish boosts only gave you a 'boost' and not your max speed. That way the 'short cuts' would be more viable. Literally the only reason I use the same path all the time. Because if I don't I'll miss a gate and my top speed.

Only problem i have is hitting the enemies..
