You're just rambling right now, no coherence in your statements.

You're just deflecting rightful criticism left and right like you have any sort of stock in PD, for some reason.

Disagreeing with some of his decisions isn't insulting him. Not everyone feels the need to be a loyal servant of Kaz. Unless you can quote me directly insulting Kaz.
Calling him stupid and an idiot is most definitely verbally attacking. Open your eyes.
 
I suppose it's good that Kaz actually addressed the issues rather than a wall of silence.

I quite like the endurance missions but seem to think the prize money is only awarded once so has no benefit to replaying them iirc

I personally don't mind the fact they've slightly lowered the prize monies although I think they've reduced them too much in some instances and not increased some which I feel they should have

It's an opinion on one's competence, in the same way that I may think that Virat Kohli is "finished" as a top-level international cricketer due to his lack of big game-finishing/winning innings and steadily decreasing batting averages.

So pretty confirmed what everyone expected, the game has a time span of years and with the current state of affairs he might even loosen up a bit on the credits. I will stay around and when everyone of those that isn't satisfied are gone these forums will settle down as well.
 
Is anyone verbally attacking Kaz actually necessary? I'd think the moderators here should know better than to allow it.
If that's the tone you want to take, let's play ball.

Did you report it? I can tell you right now, looking through the reports in the control panel that you did not. But you were reported. If you're going to play dumb games, expect to win dumb prizes.

Now, drop it. That goes for you and everyone else, and it isn't up for discussion or debate. Drop it, or I'll drop it for you.
 
Multiplying it by 10 is excessive, you honestly thin a 5 lap race against daft AI should pay out 500,000-800,000?
Eh.. I'd much rather have too many credits than no where near enough. The price of tuning is more expensive than ever and many cars, especially JDM road cars have ballooned in price. If inflation is going to hit the in-game items I don't think it's at all unreasonable for the payouts to at least keep pace. 300-500k for a 5 lap sounds like a more reasonable amount though, so like 5-6x current payouts.

Please remove all of my posts from this thread. Thanks.
 
Also find it weird how the game has a used car dealership but you aren't allowed to sell your own cars.... There's a few menu cars that I don't really care about, why can't I sell them?
The general consensus seems to be it's done this way to further stall credit gains.

Personally, I wish we could sell them anyways. Don't wanna give us credits for them? Whatever, but at least let me discard them and manage my garage the way I want it to be.
 
In the long term I expect more events will be added, and there is talk of seasonals but in the short term the only thing PD/Kaz could do is have boosted race payouts for the people who have shelled out full price at launch to take the grind out of it a bit. Doing this would have gained some much needed goodwill after the server outage. There must be some pressure on Kaz from above to have MT in the game, and the reqisite economy that pushes people to it, reading between the lines.

Nice that he reacts but is it me or isnt he saying just..... uhhh nothing? Yeah..... just wait, but for how long?

Real shame i will play it because i like it but i dont like what is happening now.....
This really did feel like a non-apology, just a bland statement to save face. The game is not perfect, and this whole ordeal shouldn't have occurred, but all we can do for now is hope for the better.
 
Do people not see that MTX prices were hidden from reviewers so that people would buy the game thinking it'd be okay? And that they intentionally waited to nerf the credits so people wouldn't be able to get refunds easily, and to give enough time for more people to buy the game who had waited for post-release reviews?

It's a scam. A rug pull. They got your money and now they want to lock you in and force you into the MTX. If you refuse to buy the MTX, they don't care, they already got your $70.

yeah I'm sure they've done the projections on where they have to set the credit prices and credit payouts in order to maximize future revenues. I'm sure both will change as they study consumer behavior more closely.
 
I read it again and my only conclussion is that he lost his mind,

Because we MUST experience how it is to experience how it is to earn a 20 million car in real life in a game! I already experienced that because i cant in real life!

I cant effort expensive cars in real life that why i play a game and now i also cant effort cars there?! What is happening! I play games to relax not to WORK EXTREEM HARD for cars where i already paid for when i bought the game for 100,- i PAIDED for the game, the content in it! Its just stupid what is happening here and how HE thinks. Yes to play for something is nice but its to EXTREME how it is now. I will never own those cars because of my REAL LIFE and other games i want to play when i have time. Its crazy what he is saying here..... just... wow.....
 
Well that escalated quickly. He gave a statement, which lets us know he is aware of the issues we feel.

He off course doesn’t have a solution yet, because he and the team have to come up with a solution. Despite all suggestions from this thread, they will have to come up with something they want to do. It’s their game.

So be patient and let’s see what happens.

Adding onto this, the career mode is structured just perfectly to string you along for around 30 hours before it comes to an end. That's enough time for reviewers to never figure out what's wrong. None of them ever did before release. Very few people realize how abusive this game's monetization is before they finish the last menu book. It's designed so cleverly. It's enough time to get you hooked. It's enough time to get any refund request refused. They didn't care to provide anything more because they didn't need to, they've locked you in.
