Sounds like a good time!
Unfortunately I'll be busy Friday and Sunday afternoon :guilty:

Kaza would you mind giving me some Wangan guidance sometime? I'm a complete novice when it comes to that. :embarrassed:

Sure, when I'm online aha. Although don't send me a PSN message, I can't read them when I'm on a game because my DS3 broke and the G27 doesn't have a PSN menu button. :lol:
 
Open to any help. I wont be on until Saturday its looking like :guilty:
What time zone are you? I have stuff to do Saturday morning, but should be free after about 2:00pm-isb. I'm on the west coast, so PST.

Any idea what car(s) you're thinking off trying? And also what spec you were thinking of, 13D or Zodiac? Insticts would say that 13D is probably easier due to the lower speeds...but getting maximum from a 13D car requires more commitment, especially through the high speed corners. 13D is all about maintaining momentum, whereas Zodiac is more "point & squirt". That said, many of the RWD cars at Zodiac spec, on SH tires with 750hp, can be quite a handful.

Also, @KazaMR2, I have a couple more cars at 13D spec for you to look at, not that you have nothing else to do :lol: I'll be honest, when I was looking through my garage and then the list of 13D cars, I was rather shocked to see these two cars missing from the list. Both of them are hella fast, premium, and are staples of the JDM world...yet for some reason, everyone seems to have looked over them (I'm going off the assumption that all the cars on the list are ones which people tried at some point, and then you had to spec it.). There's all kinds of weird cars on that list, but these two gems are missing, which leads me to believe that people were/are searching for some random car which happens to bend/exploit the rules of the class, as opposed to just picking a car which fits with the whole Wangan Midnight / TXR / 13 Devil theme of the class. Maybe I'm reading into it too much :P

Sure, I'll likely be on tomorrow to host the rally event, maybe a while after we can test the 13D cars and help Mayhexx if he's around. :cheers:

(Guessing it's the Skyline sedan? I think I did overlook that one as I've never tried it and no-one else has ever used it bar you. :lol:)
 
^If you mean the 350SP, I used that a few times.

Do you guys want to help me make a short video? All you'd need is a pick up truck.

If you guys do want to, I'll announce a day where I can open a lobby.

Skyline sedan and Skykine Coupé were the Skylines I was referring too.

The other two cars I'm talking about are even more obvious than the Skylines though....I'm talking S13 and S15. Both are perfect for 13D, but both are too fast...even the S13 with its 461hp Max.
 
I'm finally back home from all the darn night shifts.... Will be back online some time in the next 48 hours once my body is back in its normal time frame for being awake :lol:

Hehe, you might be able to catch some Wangan action later on then...

But for now, I've set a lobby up for tonight's FR Rally Madness @ Touge B class! It's at my custom map which is an off-road stage. :D It's very scenic and really fun too! :dopey:
 
Lobbies arent working right now, people are getting really mad :D
Only 5 lobbies up and thisis one if them.

I can be on for a while right now :D

I'm EST.
First thing that always comes to mind is a Skyline. :D I'm leaning more on 13D, but would love to try them both out. :D
Will you be on later today? I have to pick my mom up at the airport this morning, but ill be on probablu some time after 2 or 3 pm PST.

I agree, the PSN has been complete trash lately. I can't stay connected to a lobby to save my life, I randomly get booted off PSN....I was in a lobby yesterday where I was in postion 12/6 :banghead: The PSN on PS4 works just fine, my roomate plays Battlefront with no issues. I swear the problem with connection issues in GT6 has got worse as the game gets older, and they have done nothing to address the issues. Very frustrating!

They probably care more about GT Sport. :indiff:
Sorry I was busy yesterday evening.
I'm busy today too :embarrassed:

You can open a lobby whenever remember, there doesn't need to be a HR host there aha. :cheers: I'd join, but I'm a bit occupied right now. :indiff:

I was more getting at if I open a lobby, is anyone going to show up? I open HR Wangan lobbies all the time. I get more randoms joining than I do HR members :(

Aha... Actually I totally forgot what day it is...

Skyline Wangan event.png


- Rules -

Skylines only! This means that the Skylines from DR30 to R34 are allowed, where as the GTR R35 isn't as it is not a Skyline to clarify.

The Prince Skylines just won't be able to keep up at 13D spec, but that doesn't mean they are banned from entering.

The lobby will be at 13D spec.
I'll be on in a moment! I totally forgot about my own event. :ouch: :lol:

Edit: Lost connection to lobby twice over, PD's servers at it again... :indiff:

Aaand I'm done. 🤬 PD, this is beyond rediculous. The servers actually get worse day by day.


I think I'm pretty much done. I really like this club, there's some great people, but I just can't keep dediciating time to tuning cars for specs and then get nothing out of them, either because my play times are so different from everyone else, or because I can't stay connected to a server to save my damn life. I'm not quitting the club or anything, but I'm hanging up my Wangan and Touge helmets as it were. I'll still be around in the odd drift lobby, but most of my time is going to go into 450pp and 500pp circuit racing, as those are the only lobbies I can find on a regular basis. If I'm going to dump dozens of hours into a tune, I need to be able to actually use that tune more than once every two weeks or so.

Sorry for being emo :(

That's alright man, GT6 is getting bad connections recently, so bad that I can't even host a lobby without it crashing... :indiff:

I wish HR was more active also, but there is little interesting in GT6 for most people now, most lobbys only get around 4-5 at a maximum usually... :( Oh well, here's hoping for GT7...

Also, since I keep disconnecting from my own lobby, I think I've had it for tonight too, if you want, feel free to host another lobby anyone active! :cheers:

PS3 PSN has the issue, not PS4. I play SW Battlefront all the time with zero issues. Hell, yesterday, I was streaming the Bathurst 12hr in 720P while my roomate was playing big game maps (32 people) in BF, and neither of us noticed even a hiccup.

I also use Netflix on my PS3 quite a bit, and have never once lost connection to PSN. It's ONLY when I play GT6 that I have issues.
