Eje005 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Trolls obviously speed to further their agenda for ramming, blocking, and other forms of pathetic griefing. Yet probably a good 70% of people who otherwise abide the rules will speed. I don't get it. What's the point? It saves you like 5 minutes maybe, but what exactly are you saving? You're saving yourself from playing the game? Isn't playing the game the point? If you don't enjoy driving from A to B then why play the game? And if you do enjoy it, why are you going faster and therefore lessening the time it takes to go from A to B? Enjoy it. Personally I enjoy obeying the traffic signs for both safety and entertainment reasons. Stopping at red lights is part of the game, if you stop obeying the very few rules the game gives you then all you're doing is following a road at unsafe speeds. I don't get it.

SgtBreadStick Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Speed = Fun to most people because going slow when you don't really need or have to is kinda boring also if someone is gonna be late for delivery. Thats in most cases but in other they just do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats in most cases but in other they just do. Speed = fun in a game where you're meant to go fast, or in a game with more robust physics to fight. But going 80 down the highway is pretty much exactly the same as going 80 through Bakersfield. Mechanically there's no difference. From a completely mechanical point, speeding actually gives you less to do (hold down accelerate) where as obeying and changing speeds at least gives you actions to perform (shifting, or if you drive automatic at least letting off the gas once and a while).

Forraz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 People don't have patience. They speed and speed until they crash. And they won't stop until they replicate this in real life and either get a nice ticket / suspended license or get into an accident. Myself I stay at 80 max as I don't find speeding fun.

Kazuma Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I could ask then how can you enjoy the 90 km/h speedlimit? It's extremely slow and BORING! Some people love the speed and it's fun.It gives more challenge and makes the trucking more interesting 6 minutes ago, 1nYX said: People don't have patience.

OMG this logic fails so hard im not even sure if you are joking or not. This is just a videogame so obviously we would speed like that because it's not real life.Just because someone drives fast ignoring the speedlimit does not mean he drives like that in the real life too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You drive like you should. Do you speed in real life? Nah man you probably would not. Want speed? There is the racing corner over in the other end of Gamestop. There is even Truck Racing games.

chipmunk197 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 speeding there is no need to do so just a better way to crash 80km/h you can relax and cruse along and you use less fuel and still drop off in time iv never been late and iv always gone at 80km/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I guess most people speed to either complete a delievery, or a speed run? Or some people might just want to drive fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirestarteR93 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Pros: takes less time to reach destination easier to overtake when you don't have a limiter a lot safer to drive fast when everyone around you is doing it You don't risk to get killed (you can always load a savegame), you don't have to pay for fines Cons: Trucks get really thirsty Emergency stops take a bit more time Risking to flip over/fly out of a turn when you don't pay attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychobleeds Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I tried the not speeding thing and all that happens is you get some fool bobtailing it or a car flying up behind you and ramming your load so that is why I speed but not to bad where most of the time i take external loads so i am limited on my speed anyways.

antrax737 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Dude I dont know, I dont find it fun, I find fun in having my own rules beside real life rules, so on motorways i do 90, on highways i do 80 and in cities i do 50, If i wouldnt have to follow that I would get bored so fast, also I like 150% control over my truck... Comments above explained well why people are speeding, SCS should make up something that would make driving by limits the only normal thing to do, at the moment it doesnt matter, i feel dumb sometimes driving 50 thru city...

.StεvƐ. Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Most of the time people speed for 1 of 3 reasons, to troll, to reduce stress from a long day or to test their skills. Look at it this way, what can you define as excessive speed? is doing 60MPH on a winding country back road considered excessive speeding? is doing 120MPH on a deserted motorway excessive speed? Its down to interpretation, some may say doing anything above 55 is speeding no matter where you are, others will say anything above national speed limit is speeding. I know personally that I stick to more realistic speeds, 55-60MPH on back roads, 65-70MPH on Motorways and Dual Carriageways. That's the limit of my skill in knowing I can successfully stop in time to avoid an accident that happens a head of me, or at least take avoiding action to avoid wrecking. Most of the speeders you see who are doing 80, 90 even 100MPH no matter what road they are on usually wreck themselves, its always satisfying to cruise at a set speed and watch speeders scream by only to pass them around the next bend because they've either rolled over or wrecked into a wall. Ask yourself this question, why do people insist on overtaking? and why do people insist on overtaking queues of traffic sat in a jam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to overtake is less of a pro when you don't need to over take someone because you've stopped caring about speed. Safer to drive fast when everyone else is doing it? Not really. Idiots will hit you regardless of your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrax737 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 @Eje005 people wont overtake you so often and from my experince 70% of people driving in that heavy traffic (NL, B, G) have no idea how long they are, so you avoid them if you dont give them a chance to overtake you, by driving at speeds they do...

[S.PLH]Warrior Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 is a good question, so why ? i think a huge amount of players playing this game are also playing need for speed, now you may say, WTF what is that for comparison XD Well it is obvious tho driving from point A to point B as fast as you can, and not following any rules whatsoever, only in need for speed the police are going to chase you down off course and most of time they catch you hehe, now in TruckersMP the police don't really chase so is easier to drive fast without the police following you. anyway this game is +3 rated so i think we should not take is so seriously XD off course there are players you follow every sign and stop at every traffic lights like me.

I know it´s hard to unterstand why people speed with a Truck like crazy. I allways drive to the speed limits,stop at red lights and stop signs and the most important i allways stay friendly and let other players pas if they try to overtake me Play how they want, but not to the detriment of other people. They may not mean to crash into people, but 90% of incidents I've been involved in are because the other guy was driving recklessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrax737 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 @flyingdutchman Yo, 2 quick not serious questions 1. you think they think, they are play 2v1 now? I mean as fast as possible from a to b (nfs) and no police (ets), to me it looks 2v1 xD 2. Y U no get away from police?! You know that you dont stop at stop sing when they are chasing you right? xD I had to do that, hope you dont mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopensgo291[youtube] Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I speed a lot but not around corners or if I'm on a single ride with a slow guy coming up I'll just stay behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESS5 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 People dont have patience and want to arrive faster. simple as that. meanwhile why people drive slow? 1. they just want slower pace gameplay 2. want a very efficient trip by saving gas 3. want to simulate the real driving experience by following the traffic rules. 4. all of the above I drive slow because it's relaxing and safer. cruising while listening to radio and enjoy the detail of your truck, while dodging any reckless player & troll. driving at 40kmh for city area, 55-60kmh for country road, and 65-70 for highway.

Amazing Red Panda Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 For me, I play slow because following the speed limit with car/truck is challenging. And saving as much fuel as i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killua // Ireland ^_^ Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I like to speed and also don't obey red lights (except for in cities or if traffic is coming from the other way) Yes this is a simulator but it is still a game and not real life. Some like to go slow, obey speed limits and red lights etc and find that fun while others like to speed and find that fun. Just because alot of people speed it doesn't mean they are all treating ETS2MP like Need for Speed. For me I find it boring going slow, especially on those big empty highways. Impatience also has a small part to play in it at times as alot of people don't have much patience, If I'm 100% honest I can be impatient at times too Even while I'm speeding I will see some people going faster then me (some alot faster at time) and fair play to some of them that can control the trucks at suck high speeds on corners and country roads (I slow down on corners and windy country roads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[S.PLH]Warrior Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 @antrax 737 the first question I don't really get, wel my brain may be still sleeping for a proper thought. For the second question in nfs there are no traffic lights if I'm remember correctly xd and no I don't stop is a race game obviously, but since ETS is a simulation game with rules that is different and many players seems not caring about it,that was my point really xd Is okay I like constructive criticism xd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
