[skydragon49]

Oh boy! I'm really excited. First the bikes, now the private lobbies, new cars coming in December.

Love ya Driveclub

Already rolling out the update? Nice. Anyone want to give a private bike only lobby a go tomorrow evening or wednesday?

I downloaded 1.24 and I am excited about the new content at November 17th. It is good they added look left and right to the steering wheel because I look around the interior everytime I drive a new car.

You can also look around the interior in photo mode and the garage photo mode too.

[QUOTE="thomZ, post:.

I don't really want to spend 3+ hours on each level :/[/QUOTE]

Totally agree with you, ive given up on the elite levels, Elite levels in my opinion should have been a seperate event for those that like to do that type of thing, now my XP is just mounting up, although i asked DC why would i bother with 2XP when all i do is "bank" it because Elite levels aren't my thing and they said the way elite levels work will change and banking XP will come good...quite what they mean though i have no idea.

Edited to explain i'm currently level 63 so i have tried. better to try and fail,than...ah sod it!

They said some time ago that you will be able to progress, ie: gain levels but wouldn't have the green elite level number next to your driver level if you chose not to do those challenges.

Hope so, although i'm quite happy being 63 (level not age)

Level 80 attained, where's the next 5 Evo?!

I've been testing private lobby with my 2 friends and it is works smoothly. It is really fun! I test with car and bikes.

- In private lobby we should able to filter Online Driveclub friends. I have a lot (100+) of DC friends and having difficulties to invite driveclub friend who currently online because I need to scroll while waiting their names in the loading dots finally appear.

- It would be great if we can put some AIs on private lobby racing.

Gotta say, love the bikes. Abit difficult to get used but then again, that seems to be the case with me in every game I've gotten with them (which is not much ) so hardly new. Got some pics I'll post here soon. Not gonna lie though, I'm finding myself very willing to level up quick so I can get the Ducati (Dat sound) and the Honda.

 

[thomZ]

...Awesome, can't wait to get to Level 80 when I finish work.

Level 80 attained...

Damn... In less than half a day you went from lvl 75 to 80 ? It took me 3 hours to go from 60 to 61.
What's your secret man ? XP x4 ?

Congrats.


EDIT : I think I understand : you earned enough XP in the past but you were stuck to lvl 75 because of the game. When they released new levels, you automatically went from 75 to xx level and just had to complete ELITE Time Trial challenges. The magic disappear

! Yeah I already had 75 million XP, All I had to do were the challenges which took about 20 minutes all in.

@Maxrevv Thanks for invite in Private Lobby great drifting but my wireless internet crashed! ..catch up soon

I can say they work really good for the few races I attempted 👍

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I wish I didn't have to wait until next month for more cars. Feels like an age since we got new additions but in fairness they have been plentiful since launch and they just released Bikes.

Still hoping to see the Lexus LF-A, Honda NSX Type R and Maserati MC12 some day.

Ah well at least I have PCars with the Toyota TS040-HYBRID to keep my craving for speed satisfied.

 

[Zonda5]

Looked at the settings in private lobbies and the class of car thing could be set to "any". Does that mean you can race hot hatches against hypers?!

Class-based racing is something this game should be able to do...don't a few of the challenges pit cars from Hyper and Super against each other? I think I remember an Enzo vs 458 race.

Did anyone notice that they finally fixed the terrain clipping when the camera zooms in on your front wheel at the end of a race?

You can create groups on the PS4 within your friends list, so that should be feasible. I think the patch notes for the last big PS4 software update mention it in more detail.

Is there a way to remove the player's name when viewing a single player race?

In settings you can remove the player tags under HUD settings. I'll just go and check how I did it.

EDIT: under Settings and then Display you have player tags - it's either an on or off situation. You can remove them from photo mode too, in the camera settings.

Does anyone fancy a race later about 4pm gmt - Not too competitive just for fun really and test out a 5-10 lap race etc at Tamil Nadu 02 (easy and fun) and to test it all out properly maybe more than one? I will come on here later to see if anyone is interested:tup:

 

[3stripes]

4 PM GMT I think is about 6 PM here, so I think I could make it home from work by then. Interested.

Um, not in game ps4 level, but the game level. You click on Private Lobby menu, there is lobby member list on the left. Then press Square button to invite.

There is my problem

Actually, I quite like the ELITE challenges but it's sad they are not rewarding. It's supposed to be the thoughest challenges (even though, it took me only 2 laps to complete the lvl 60 TT and 3 laps to complete the lvl 61 TT...). If they are "that" hard, they should bring you some XP points ! You do the challenge then, yeah you earn maybe 9.000 XP point for the race (clean sector, drift, etc.) and that's it... Strange.

Now I'm just driving around the same track, doing the same drifts, whith the same car (Lambo for 2XP this week) and that's it... There is no fun in that.

Hear hear. Count me in.

Yeah there was, if I remember there was also a race where you were driving a Bentley against a whole grid of cars that were the group above in the original tour.

Multi class racing would be good, there's already some overlap between the classes (like the performance class RUF and Nissan GTR being faster than a few of the super cars), and it would mean that you could put fast drivers in one class and slower drivers in the faster class to keep it competitive, like a handicap.

We used to do something siliar on SEGA Rally on the PS3 since that game had a high skill cap, kept things very competitive for both the less-experienced and more-experienced drivers.
