Whenever they add custom lobbies, I'm sure GTP exclusive lobbies will make looking for clean racing easier. I have a few ideas for hosting some races that will be hosted similar to how the GT online section of this forum are.

GTP lobbies would be awesome. 👍

...Looking at my stats page right now, level 50 is just over 14.5 million XP but my actual XP total is 22.75 million and I only run a few challenges a day (mind you, the current top person has almost 800 million XP...)

Happened to have another glance at the top 50. Top place guy has almost 1.3 billion fame (not sure if it's the same one though) with second and third in the .75 billion area. How do these people find the time? I'm almost at 30 million and the top person on my FL has 50 million Fame/XP...madness, I tell you.

Level 50 even seems like a stretch for me, I've done around 350 events according to the single events tracker and I'm level 39.

You'll fly it and be there before you know what happened. Your trouble is that you're too damn good at it the likes of me has to re-do events a few times to get those elusive stars, and that of course racks the XP up.

I also found going after the accolades helped, especially the vehicle ones - a good chunk of XP for getting them levelled to completion, plus you get all of those face-offs too if you pick a circuit to build up your mileage on.

I'm not too good, I just stick to events I won't get crushed on.

Hey all,

I was doing some racing in DC the other day, and noticed that the mileage i raced was not being added to my club total (the club had just unlocked the bac mono, had 0 miles). Is there any trick to getting mileage to count for club accolades?

The servers don't always update immidiately, and other times, server problems causes your various feats to not sync with the server.

Ok, so there is a chance that the mileage will show up at some point?

I get occasional updates on XP etc that I know aren't due to any of my club mates, so I think you are safe in that assumption.

Holy sweet baby jesus in your baby jesus cradle, just finished the Elements tour (yeah, I m late to the party)... That last race with the Zonda R through the snow storm is quite intense. 250+ kmh at 50 m sight distance makes for sweaty palms. But I finished it and won all the stars, so hooray for me!

See, I bet you're glad of the practise I gave you now with that challenge in heavy snow, at night on Hurrungane reverse even if it wasn't a Zonda R so not nearly fast enough.

I think I still have a star or three to get on that one...

 

[wdreamsmaycome]

that race was sure crazy, never had a DC race where I could see that little btw, does anybody know if NA and Europe play together in DC or if they are separated? it does seem there's a lot more people playing DC in EU so I was wondering, late evening in the US (say, 6-7am GMT) the online seems fairly dead unfortunately

 

[MeanElf]

I'm not sure to be truthful. I don't recall reading anything about regional servers, but that might be one of the things they are trying to stabilise the online aspect. If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Looks like a sneaky little update happened on the quiet. Not sure of the extent, but I happened to be re-doing a drift challenge in Norway and I saw that the northern lights seemed brighter, more florid than previously (I know they are different each time, but this seemed different.) The other thing, the onlookers appear to have warmer clothes at last!

Even game spectators dress better than me.

I wonder if we will get a teaser of the next bit of content this week?

So, I decided to buy the Elements tour pack an hour ago to keep me busy. Bloody hell, this was a fun event.

There should be a crazy Venom event in every DLC and I'd buy it on the spot!

Sorry for the photo spam but I'm extremely happy with this.

Let's hope so.

Let me go and capture an alien...and I'll be back!

You're right though Classic, they are surprisingly addictive. I never really liked the Tamil Nadu tracks that much, until the Venom hot-lap...even though the language has been somewhat interesting whilst I'm doing one.

Well done on the 20th global position too 👍

This 'Unbeatable' trophy is a pain, Ive beat more than 5 of my own challenges with one other friend involved but I still don't have the trophy! Also, I have 1,083,373 drift points but no Hoonatic trophy, am I missing something?

Have you been playing the game when those challenges expired?

That might explain it.

 

[BarryB]

Even then, it doesnt always trigger. Its a bit glitchy, but persevere and it should pop up. I need the drifting distance thing and cant drift for toffee, so I cant see me ever getting my platinum trophy because of that.

 

[neddyie118]

I wonder when we will get any news on this months dlc because we are nearly halfway through the month and this being a shorter month?
