I hadn't even considered this. Great observation.
Just about everything in this post is tripe (Le Mans is used for autodrive levelling, not actually doing it; you'd think if you'd gone to the trouble to check this you'd have watched the video showing it), but this:
is the most tripe.
You already attempted this "whataboutism" in another thread.
@Quakebass already detected you must have also been "smoking good stuff".
If a 1932 Alfa 8C w/ 142Hp can lap the track at one of its fastest configurations (before the Dunlop or Mulsanne chicanes, iirc) in at 5:41 (avg. 88mph), I'm pretty positive the modern sports car can lap under 11 minutes.
Because they're AFKing whilst the majority of us are playing?
No ones demanding you own the game, but if you're going to say things like this:
People are going to expect you to follow through. Actually, can't say that I expect you to follow through with a single thing you post, really, seeing how you've gone about things so far.
Like who? Can't see a single person in either thread doing that here. Once again, you're exactly the person you're complaining about, which is just odd.
It's crazy how far you fly from one end of the time spectrum to the other.
What sucks for me is that I liked to make unconventional builds. So if I had a ton of credits I'd pick something random that I wasn't sure how it would perform and do my usual tweaks to it, and if it didnt work, scrap it. Now I have to invest a significant amount of time before I can even get that going, and if it ends up being fruitless in the end, then that's where I get bummed about it.
This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Forza Motorsport’s Car Upgrades Changed After Fan Complaints
Barely a week into Forza Motorsport’s life, Turn 10 has partially walked back a key game mechanic following a poor reception from fans...
Which track has an 11-minute lap time with any car? Also, the progression is linked to sectors not the amount of laps. So the time taken depends on various factors such as how good you are at completing the sectors with a "good" or "great" score and overtakes. I hate the system but let's not post falsehoods.
The reason you should own the game to comment on this stuff is it would mean you've been able to test it yourself. With the game driving the car you gain around 16 levels per hour on Homestead Oval at 500 PI. A slower car will level up a bit slower, a faster car a bit faster. You can stop it every now and again, say after 1 hour and 2 hours, and make the car faster with the upgrades available. It takes a little over 3 hours to get a 500 PI car to level 50 with the game driving the car. Driving it yourself will do it in under 3 hours.
Yeah, but it takes 5 days to max out the levels.... /s
Bought me a C7 Corvette earlier today after finishing the first race-serie. Took it to Indianapolis Brickroad and raced it 100 laps x2. Was lvl 31 after first race, got 133k and well over 6000CP, on "easy". Maxed difficulty incl gas/tyrewear just as a test and won again, but "only" 142k, that`s not much of a bonus.
Good thing this game dropped in the autumn - it would have been a waste of energy to let a computer game playing itself consume ~1 kWh of electricity to unlock items for one virtual car in the middle of the summer, where there's no need to heat our houses (in this hemisphere, at least.) People did the same thing with GT7, by the way. During the European energy crisis where people were encouraged to save energy.
It's not ideal, but I run it on a low power PC that uses a total of 80W while running it at low res 30fps, so it's about a quarter of a kWh per car. Still would be better if it weren't necessary.
I think you're the one who's smoking here
