when kaz says "it pains me"

I feel it.

 

[GTvsForza]

Really? I just got to work and the servers are back. Well, weekend grind time.

The event rewards solution to having users replay the same events wasn't to lower the rewards for that race but to increase them for all the other races. 12 million dollar cars are ******** and were in Sport too where you didn't even have the option to pay real money for them.

No.

 

[Nowax]

I do hope future updates gives us better payouts for new events.

"We will in time let you know the update plans for additional content, additional race events and additional features that will constructively resolve this."

I am fine if they add extreme races that are relatively challenging with high payouts and keep the current payouts the same

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

No.

Huh, well I'm hoping for the best but expecting... more grinding.

 

[Veinz]

I appreciate the statement but he could have went into a little more detail regarding future content, just to calm some people down.

How does this paragraph going about explaining the decreased payouts on events make any since, the last part of the paragraph seems to conflict with the first
"and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again."

Decreasing the payout requires the player to do even more events

 

[Baka_Marimo]

"We will do something eventually. In the meantime please enjoy the nerfed payouts."

You must be very naive then.

I think Kazunori is referring to the 1.07 update.

Really? I think you're right.

"We will do something eventually (after bilking all of you poor, impatient saps with MTX). In the meantime please enjoy the nerfed payouts."

FTFY

even Gran Turismo couldn't avoid the classic Live Service crap

"yeah we'll fix it one day, now give us 70 euros"

Yup. We want users to enjoy lots of cars and races but we also want to make things rare and expensive like they are in reality is also a bit contradictory.
I understand what he's going for, but it's quite a shallow response, especially the part where it "pains" him to not be able to explain more. Like, sure, don't want to overpromise now do we? I do appreciate that a statement has at least been made, but it doesn't really tell us anything new.

 

[Zlork]

Glad to see the raged community made them reajust the payouts.

They didn't correct it. He explains their choice and promise contents and races in the next updates

I THINK the thought process here is to give you a few different options to make your money instead of one singular one, but we all know we're gonna default to the shortest option.

The pain thing is because it's not PD's decision, it's them being silenced as to not talk about the requirements from higher up.

 

[Nomadpt1]

Well, no changes to the payouts so I keep an eye out for any further updates but until then I'm out. It's just no worth playing right now since most of the game is going to be grind.

 

[RaY29rus]

What I think he says is "we didn't mean to make you pay or grind, we wanted you to play the game and buy what you can now, while we are adding new events, which will slowly allow you to buy more expensive cars".

 

[Magog]

Yes, please share. I absolutely ruined mine!!

@AeonGaiden

My Camaro settings. At 955HP it's still a beast to drive but it's a controllable beast....

Still doing the same 5-7 lap races, which still nets you 90,000 cr. per race plus 150,000 cr. for the series!

I think what he means is with future updates they'll introduce things like more missions or seasonal events that will come with better payouts. I'm just not sure why we have to wait for a future update instead of having them locked behind something like the completion of GT Cafe. I mean, at the end of the day they're just events. Could they be waiting for Sophy?

 

[mwoodski]

Man, you can tell that forums in general have slipped off in recent years because whenever anything seems to happen you get multiple people posting threads of the exact same content rather than it being consolidated to one...

 

[outofspace]

I don't know if that's relevant but this episode of the Up to speed video is sponsored by Gran Turismo 7! I just found it weird and cool 😀

Its good they are addressing it but I just see a bunch of words. If they really didn't want people to be stuck repeating the same events then they wouldn't have lowered the payouts on most of them without adding any races at the same time. This has just made the problem worse. They will spill any old bs at this point just to keep as many players as possible from deleting the game.

 

[GTboyz]

Just started playing NFS Heat while casually waiting for the server to go back up. Now that it's online, I ended up more interested in keep playing NFS...
Gonna force myself again to play GT tomorrow since I'm still on Cafe Book 14 lol.
