I loved F1 2018, but i am so much disappointed by the unability from CM to answer here. It is so frustating...

@Faya Are you aware of this topic? A response whould be great...

jep... Ich glaube bei CM arbeitet momentan ein Mitarbeiter an den F2 2019 Autos und alle anderen sitzen an GRID.

I love the f1 games, regardless of its tons of flaws. Even F1 2018 had its flaws and bugs. But we had the possibility to play together against other A/S or B-safety drivers and had so much fun. ...a reason to overlook all flaws. ...I think codemasters knows how small the playerbase is compared to F1 2018.

"Just play unranked" Yesterday we were 6 people together who wanted to play lobbies together. FAIR ONLINE LOBBIES. So we started an unranked lobby.^^ Its impossible to have fun there due to the crash-kids that don't have to fear any consequences after not breaking in curves and taking others out of the race. We want to play together with other drivers on good safety ranks. Its so frustrating that we are not allowed to do that. I guess the game will be dead in 2 or 3 months. 💔

I guess not a single cm employee is active in this forum. They are probably working all on GRID. I love f1 games but this is so disappointing...

"There will still be people out there that will disagree with this thread. I hope all players that usually play ranked alone won't dislike this thread straightforward." You say that like it is obvious, but you don't mention a single reason. If there was only one good reason for "no way should you be able to invite friends to ranked lobbies."... You can play competitive as teams or at least together in almost EVERY OTHER Esport game (and besides in F1 2018). Why shouldnt you be able in F1 2019? That you want to play competitive shouldnt mean that you have to play alone. F1 is a game that you usually dont play alone - you play with friends. You team up to play in leagues. But most times league races are just once a week. If codemasters doesnt give a damn about these people, communities/leagues/clans, and their wish to play competitive together this game will have the lowest playerbase in the last decade.

have a look at this thread:

I hope this thread gets a little bit of attention... Topic: F1 2019 don't let us invite friends to ranked lobbies anymore. Why they probably done that: To ensure, friends don't boost each other to ranks they don't deserve. To ensure, friends with D rank don't get invited to S or A lobbies. This leads to: Many players stopped playing lobbies at all. The playerbase is obviously smaller than in F1 2018. S-Lobbies are rare. To find lobbies at all, they put S-players in C/D-Lobbies nethertheless. Most time you will find no ranked lobby at all 25% lobbies are dead. plus: ranked is not a bit fairer than in F1 2018 My personal experience: I am a community leader from germany. We are 750 gamers and 70 active F1 players (in our 3 leagues) at the moment. Our community and the friends from other german communities loved F1 2018 and loved playing ranked together. We don't have a single unfair player with us. Almost everyday a few of us played ranked together and we enjoyed that a lot. It is a good distraction from league races. ...Why would you play alone when you are in teamspeak with other people. Now we as a whole community stopped playing lobbies... From what I read hear and on reddit, ranked is not a bit fairer than in F1 2018. D-ranked players still play in the same lobbies as S-ranked players. Also boosting was never a problem in F1 2018. Not like in other games like rocket league (where you still can play ranked with friends and it works great). "Just play unranked" Most players just play to compare themselves with others in competitive manner. And almost every other game let people do that with their friends. PC-Gamers trend to play games in teams und often don't care about unranked modes at all. Also unfair players are allowed to crash you in every second corner without any punishment. You can't avoid this people in unranked. Suggestion There will still be people out there that will disagree with this thread. I hope all players that usually play ranked alone won't dislike this thread straightforward. 1) There is a simple solution: Bring friend-invites back, but still don't let C/D-players join S/A-lobbies. If there is one single S player in the lobbies the invited C-player should get an error-message "You are not allowed..." 2) Or go even further and flag the lobbies with safety-tags. Every lobby has a tag with its safety rank. "This is a A-lobby" - and you should be allowed to invite just the friends with a minimum safety rank of B. Of course: In a C-Lobby you should still be allowed to invite S-ranked friends as they should be aware of possible D-ranked players in this lobby. @Faya Kind regards, iosis - Co-Leader Airborne Multigaming and leader of the Airborne Racing Leagues

not being yble to play ranked with my friends killed the game for me. Its a mess.
