It sounded good initially but I'm having my doubts now. I haven't even opened the game yet (Varisty exams).

Maybe I'll buy it when I have cash again

It seemed very MP based and that's why I'll wait a bit until they fix their servers for "larger than expected" numbers of people playing.
 
It looks like we were supposed to get a free track this month?
Were? It's still only the 22nd...;)

I thought the first month would have no new stuff, but then I saw I was looking at the season pack DLC. I did get a Merc from the store though (not the pre-order one, but another) so I'm assuming that's the car for this month.

No idea when the season pass will run until. Other games (well, Borderlands 2) both of their season passes are still available and the game is over two years old.

EDIT:moved to the correct thread...:embarrassed:

Yeah, the AMG GT is the free car of the month for October. :) No news on the free DLC track though. :confused:

That's how I understand it as well :) .
Does anyone know up until when the season pass will be available for purchase?

Evo's never said when or if the SP would go away, so I'm guessing it'll be up there for a while.
 
I m going to wait and see if they hold their promises about the free stuff and if they will finally get the game going in the way it was supposed to before buying the seasons pass. 2 weeks in, multiplayer is still ***** and doesnt work half the time, connecting still takes forever, still cant send anybody challenges, global leaderboards never record my times, still cant access my driver stats... It is a pathetic joke.
 
Forgot to mention earlier. The online matches earlier this morning were all themed around mountain locations. I wonder how often they change those?
 
...Edit: Ha, just read this:

So apparently, I wasnt the only one weary of the always same 6 events.
I've seen a fair amount of variety in the few times I've been/could get online; there were ten lap enduros, UK cars, Euro cars, Team events, circuits and P2P for all four groups (or is that five...?)

I don't spend an lot of hours online though, so I couldn't say how frequently it all got switched around, hence my post about it above. Wasn't it last Friday that they switched the number of available events to six from twelve? That should be returning to twelve again I'm guessing.
 
I'm really liking this game so far.
Of course there are still some issues, especially with the server, but overall I give it a 8.0-8.5 (may go up to 9 if DLCs are good).
Graphics and sounds are great, driving physic is good (I was expecting an arcade style while It actually feels more like a simcade).
The only problem is online players, they are for the most part ramming children.
They ram you even if you are on their same team while they should help you maintain your position in order to gather more points, real fairplay kids...:grumpy:👎
Oh yeah, Evolution should add a replay mode (and of course a photomode which is already WIP with dynamic weather:drool:).

Replay is also WIP
 
Just downloaded the AMG GT from the PS store, but it didn't appear in my garage! Am I doing something wrong?
Just had a thought, what level are you? Maybe it has a specific level attached to it. I mean, you should still be able to see it if you have clicked download in the PS Store.
 
Ahh, now of course I've got to try and remember what level I was when I downloaded it.

If it's still not visible, then maybe it has something to do with the implementing of patches at the time which may have disturbed the process. Is it showing in your library on the PS Store? If so, you could re-download from there.
 
Okay, its definitely not a level specific car, I just hopped into my second account and the Mercedes AMG GT was there, with the store symbol. I just went there via the in-game link and downloaded it.

If it still isn't there in your garage, then maybe you'd best get in touch with the store.
 
Why do I see stage times of 11s an averages of 800Km/h 900Km/h 11000Km/h?
Hacked already?
That or an exploitable glitch, as I can't imagine anyone controlling anything at such speeds. To be honest, it's been like that from pretty much the first few days of online being stable, maybe longer.

I don't think level has any affect. I downloaded it quite a while ago when I was no more than level 9.

Yeah, I posted an addendum after looking myself yesterday.

Any idea when the weather effects will be released via an update?
I got the impression that they will say when, once the game's online is deemed solid. One of the recent update messages on FB said they would announce it then.

Of course, the current message has been swamped by idiots who are blaming Evoloution Studio for not being able to play online, and clearly haven't seen that PSN itself has been having problems.

Hi everyone,

We know we have been quiet over the last few days which was because we wanted to offer you news when it has a meaningful impact on your experience of DRIVECLUB. The feedback you offered has been invaluable to the team because it’s informed our updates to iron out the major issues affecting you as quickly as possible.

Our diagnostics show the majority of you are now able to get online and racing. This increased stability has meant that statistics and accolades are updating efficiently now, so hopefully you have been having fun boosting your fame and watching how you compare to your friends and other racers around the world.

Today we also released a server update to optimise multiplayer matchmaking so you will now be matched with more suitable players based on the type of internet connection you have, which means matchmaking should be more reliable. This update will also fix some bugs we had with clubs where some players couldn't join or leave a club.

Improvements continue to be made to the servers and our next significant game update will be released this week. This will boost connectivity and provide a better overall experience.

Thanks for your support and we will provide more news as soon as we have it.

I played last night for 3 hours and everything except Challenges was working really well.

I went into single player time trials and the leaderboards were great. you can get lap comparisons for all individual cars at each circuit. As you drive around a circuit steadily decreasing your lap time, the game automatically loads the next coule of ghosts in the list for you to get past. it was really well done and the best part of the game so far. At one point I was in the top 2 in the world for a car/track combo (certainly won't last).
 
Had the same experience on the Hot Venom Lap the other night. It ws good to have the ghost car working, gave you something to chase and an idea of different lines that might work a bit better.
