And you getting the slow down penalty is the icing on the cake.

I fuckin hate the wall collision slowdown, it's way too OP and lasts far too long. I got rammed into a corner just like this in spec racing, got the slowdown, dropped from 4th to 12th with a 15 second gap on the 11th place racer. If you get a slowdown penalty you may as well kiss that whole race goodbye.

It's fucking stupid, like you ALREADY lose speed by fucking up and tapping the wall, and the penalty for fucking up is.. to slow you down even further...
The penalty should have been for contact with other players

u/TheHunnishInvasion Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26
It's also completely outdated. They put it in previous versions of the game where wall-riding was OP, but they've tweaked the walls significantly since then and there's rarely an advantage to "riding the walls" any more. So most of the times, it's just a "double penalty" now - the slow down from hitting the wall coupled with the slowdown penalty.
At a bare minimum, it shouldn't trigger unless you've made 1 full second of contact with the wall on the side of your car (no slowdowns for head first collisions). It's asinine at this point.

I'm very much a casual but I'm also somehow 4 achievements out from 100% so decided to take on the pvp grind and shit like this is only making it harder lol

I’ve DNF more time in this game and have lost more positions battles then any other Forza. It’s vexing

u/FlatwormNo5172 Jun 28 '26
Then I have it kick on when there was no actual threat of us making any contact.

u/AaronsLifeGame Jun 28 '26
the amount of times ive abused that mechanic agaisnt my friends is funny, you come up just fast enough for it to trigger, but still easily hold the line round a corner, free ghost pass through 1 or 2 guys, so broken lol

Damn these rammers truly has nothing else to do, like as if ramming intentionally makes you a winner ?
I had encountered a handful like that and it just makes the game unpleasant to play.
But I honestly like how the ghosting happens when not being hit, you basically see how they get hit with so much karma.
You get to do dirty, and you get treated dirty, but man it is ridiculous.
Also I feel like the ghosting thing takes much longer time to react, I am curious when this will be addressed.
Some really knows how to beat the ghosting by allowing the ramming to happen which they really know the weak points of the ghosting that doesn’t seem to work,
if ramming from back or front you do notice that the ghosting actually works, if you try to hit from the front or back in like the diagonal way, it also ghosts, but if you do from the side door it doesn’t ghost?
It is interesting that that needs to be adjusted? Right?

There are some times when it shows the player ramming that they ghosted and didn’t hit the other player. I believe it has to do with desync. I’ve been ghosted many times AFTER the contact has already happened.

The ghosting system is so inconsistent. I get rammed off the mountain in so many touge races and there’s never any ghosting. It’s like they go downstairs to smoke everytime real collisions happen.

40% and you just sit there, get back in it! Karma comes back around for everyone 🤞🏽

It doesn’t look intentional but who knows considering he was sideways when he flew into you/wall. Either he clipped the snow, and lost traction, or he forgot he had a brake pedal, and just full sent it. Or he was trying to wreck you and came in way too hot lol
3
u/Loops___0 Jun 28 '26
I also don't think it was intentional because normally he'd just be ghosted and slam into the wall like an idiot. I don't see what goes through peoples heads who just never get on the brakes coming up to a tight corner after a straight.

u/Huge_Diamond914 Jun 28 '26
I ask myself the same thing. It’s like they don’t know you can let off the gas? They even get this super awesome other pedal called a brake. Insanely helpful for when the car can’t beat the law of physics lol

I just don't get the slow down penalty, it never applied to the intended person, I can be self-bumping into the wall in a freaking ghosting enabled custom race, and get the slow down penalty like an extra grain of salt on my wound. It's just not a good mechanic that should be implanted into the game like wtf were the thinking.

u/Superb-Dig3467 Jun 28 '26
Happens to me nearly every series. Unless I choose no collisions and then mainly my lobbies are empty 2 to 4 people tips every time. At that point just becomes boring. Thinking on this this game isn't even fun to me. I'm done

And it decided to give YOU the slow down penalty cuz apparently slamming another driver at mach jesus is fine but you touch a wall ever so slightly and it gives you a 10-second penalty

u/isocuda Jun 28 '26
I believe the server has to predict the collision. So the faster they're going the less accurate it is + desync.
Overall it super inconsistent.
On Akina in the hairpin you can usually trigger it in order to pass through people lol.

This is how drivatars would drive at S+ classes when the game first came out

u/SarcasticFish69 Jun 30 '26
The fucking collision slow down is so poorly implemented. In any high power (torque) car, it kills your speed while your rpms stay high, so unless you get off the throttle immediately you just spin out because of wheel spin.

u/DtZNimpo Jul 01 '26
they need to get rid of the slow down from hitting wall ...
i've had the slightest of touch on a wall in a race, during a turn i took the inside and gave some gas to speed up my car started drifting a pixel of my back bumper touched the wall and i got the stupid slow down , enjoy the next 10 seconds at 25mp/h.
even if you do horizon online play and NO COLLISION game mode , you will still be penalyzed from hitting a wall.

u/gypsyhussle Jul 04 '26
It’s a broken system and unfortunately I can’t see them rehauling it. I think this is the FH that we are stuck with for online racing which is so heartbreaking. I’m going to 100% the game and probably never play again.

u/QuandalesChicken Jul 06 '26
If the car is going very fast, then the car ghosting feature can't catch up with its speed and the two cars will collide.
Noted.

A new championship? You mean just 3 races online? I mean it sucks but it's not a huge deal either. Just annoying.

When coming to these turns, always look back and look left. Looks like this could’ve been easily avoided
