This is the first SRL I've participated in and it's a blast! And surprisingly, I'm pretty good at it*! Bungie pretty consistently hits home runs.

*Until I get randomly matched with bluerunner and he keeps knocking me off the track. I can't believe he totally kept doing that.

Yep. Super fun. Love racing with talkative DBOers. Love the new tracks. Loathing towards that darn forklift.

Rubber banding is implemented through wider gates for those trailing behind.

If you're last, you have the widest gates and fewer people contesting for them.

During the times I was bringing up the rear, it seemed like my handling was much tighter. When I was leading the pack, my back end was slipping around more.

Maybe it was all in my head too.

Like if you had to make the noise of a late nineties Chevrolet van trying to get on the freeway via a short ramp on the left. But I don't want that sound, I want a guy making that sound.

Probably true for the most part. I also think the narrower margin for error up front just makes you notice sloppy handling more. As far as I can tell, the response to steering inputs is the same regardless of position.

I'm never really watching the speedometer, but it should be easy to look at that and compare top speeds in various positions.

Rubberbanding and crashing

Rubber banding is implemented through wider gates for those trailing behind.

If you're last, you have the widest gates and fewer people contesting for them.

I mean real, honest to god rubber-banding, where the top speed of people in back is higher than that of people in front. Uploading a video as we speak where I give the other players a 9 second head start before I even touch the controller, and then I proceed to not be very good at racing for a while, and I still get 2nd place. The gates *should* be the only system in place to help this, but the races feel far, far closer than they did last year. My buddy, IGolding, was one of the top 100 SRL players in the world last year, and his best time ever on Infinite Descent got beat by 5 seconds in one of our races last night by a guy wearing no SRL gear whatsoever and who crashed a bunch of times during the race.

There is something fishy going on.

Speaking of crashing, when you wreck your bike you come back you now come back ahead of where you died and already going full speed. This has moved me UP in the past - it's super broken.
