Gran Turismo 7’s Invitation System Is Broken: Here’s How We’d Fix It

[Lomic]

A Lamborghini invite is keeping me from filling my garage, 513 of 514 cars.

waited mine for months, and to this day I've had 29 invites, including only 1 Lambo (and 7 for Citroën...)

About 6 weeks ago I finally got an Aston Martin invitation after waiting near bang on a year.
Invitations should be linked to your Collector Level if PD insist on keeping them.

Just open it when you buy three of the same brand.

I rarely get invites. I'll never complete the Ferrari extra menu.

I don't understand your post.

I don't understand your post.

It's a suggestion of how the Invitation system could work better.

Great article, let's hope PD gonna take some notes. I mentioned this before in similar topic, but situation doesn't change: it's now almost 2 years since I've started playing, and from the very beginning out of all invitation cars I was only interested in the Ferrari trio, but to this day I still never got a single Ferrari invite. I'm usually only being able to play during weekends, so the odds of never being able to own Enzo, LaFerrari and FXX seem extremly high. At this point it seems like the game is just intentionally trolling me. Surely I could just grind daily routine on SSRX with Tomahawk every day, but this sounds like a good way to get tired of playing this game, and even then, the chances of obtaining the invite are still very very far from guranteed.

I personally really like the concept of exclusive cars, back in a day it was actually very interesting to do the required tasks to earn some unique yellow Ford Mustang in TDU, and it's kinda crazy how a 2006 game implemented a very similar idea so much better.

Half a year after this I finally got the Ferrari invite. Bought two of each just in case. Current invite system is still terrible but at least it's not personal anymore

The invitation system is bad game design simple.

Getting a Invite should at least unlock the said invite car permanently.

Been wanting to buy a few more Enzo myself but nope you own the car but cant buy anymore.

How about this: show proof you own a certain brand, get an invite for that brand if one exists. If your current daily is a Ford, you should be able to buy one in the game.

It is a good idea, but it will be "complicated" for most brands, except if you are Jay Leno 😅

I think they intentionally troll you on one brand different to each player or at least just troll your wishlist. Since the Veyron was added to extra menus (well over a year) I have gotten every other brand invite 3 plus times. Ferrari especially....gotta be 6 times. Yet I see the Bugatti invite almost weekly and never get it. 80 percent of time with the other invites I get them. I get Veyron parts and see the Veyron itself in the troll wheel as often if not more often than other cars. Never once.

I can't see how this is not done on purpose. They take a sick pleasure in your disappointment or something.

He won’t be able to get a Ferrari (not that he wants one)

It’s garbage and probably would have more vocal outrage if many players hadn’t just been gifted all the invites around launch due to other issues.

I’ll never get the Ferraris and the game has been out for years. Just tie these cars to max collector rank instead of this BS.
