Legendary cars dealer refresh

[gambleboyen]

Exactly.

... You were gaining 1 million "commonly"? That was just your huge luck. You can't get 1 million without a 5 or 6 star tickets, 4 star tickets are like a 0.5% chance of getting 1 million.

The updates didn't change the payouts of the Roulettes, only the animatons. 500 hundred samples, and prizes below 100k (which are comical) are over 85%.

Hey, didn't someone say that luck was not part of it, taht it's just a string of predetermined prizes?

Or has that been disproved?

Well... It is all predetermined but the luck is... in getting GOOD predetermined prizes in the first place.

I've been doing a bit of a study on those, and it's a big surprise that 2 3 and 4 star tickets are more common than 1 star tickets. 3 star tickets being by a considerable amount the most common ticket drop.

5 and 6 star tickets are still really rare. And these two are the only tickets that almost guarantee you a good prize. 4 star tickets are also good but most of the time they give you junk like 30k or 10k credits, even sometimes 5k (yeah, 4 star tickets can give 5k credits, unbelievable).

Overall, the odds of a prize that's valued at 100k or less (includes cars, parts, credits) is over 85%... And this isn't taking into account some "questionable" prizes like Invitations which for people who already got those cars (and as it stands, PD offered them for all of them to all of us for 1 month) is basically nothing as a prize.

Basically, almost 90% of the tickets give you nothing. I've been playing since the 3rd of March and got tickets every single day as well as the menus and have gotten 0 Engine Swaps or Special Car Parts.


BTW, might as well mention that LCD and UCD exclusive cars are not prizes in the tickets. Only Brand Central cars are prizes (it's no wonder almost all people only get VGTs and Gr.3/4/B cars in it or the low value Hyundai and such).

 

[incredirog]

I think that just refers to the roulette spin animation, the prize is selected at random, within the allowed probabilities, the instant the ticket is generated. also I disagree that 1 star is rare, it’s by far my most common ticket, multi day streaks on 1 star.

Does this mean that from saturday the cycle starts again?The early cars,especially the Alfa 155,should come around slightly quicker than the first time?

If they go in the same order, yes, the Alfa should appear somewhere around May 11th.

I tend to get 3 start tickets most commonly

I’ve brought every car in the legends so far (in the last 3 weeks) apart from this. Still too many I want before it. My only bug bear is when will we see it again.

In about 2 months time.

 

[TypeRDC5]

You likely wont see those cars for many many months. Im waiting too.

Yeah it looks like it will be a while judging by the the list of legendary cars thread 🤦

 

[Pizzicato1985]

Absolutely. Really damn worth it!

But wait, what ABS are you on? I'm on Weak.

Now I don't know if I want the road car or not. This is 8 mill cheaper than the road car and it's a lot of fun to drive. If the road car costs 18,5 mill then I'd rather get the 917k tbh.

I've always left it on default and now that I think about it I'm not sure what that means. My assumption was that default applied ABS to cars that actually have it IRL, and is not used in cars that do not. That's the way I've always used ABS in games like ACC, PCARS, iRacing, etc. Glad you asked that question as that's the only assist I've left on and really don't know how it's affecting my gameplay. Time to do some experimentation...

RE the F1 road car, I honestly believe it's the best road car in the game. It's quite easy to drive even compared to "lesser" cars that can get nowhere near its performance, like the E46 M3, which is genuinely harder to drive for me at 500-550pp than the F1 is at 700+pp. But that's just me and each person's driving style can drastically effect how well a car handles. Some people love the 787B and say it's stable; I can barely make it a lap without slamming it into a barrier, lol.

Not saying I'd buy the F1 over the 917k if I were you; I missed the 917k last time myself and it 100% takes priority over another F1. It's just too bad there still isn't a "test drive" option as I know a lot of people are turned off by the price, but to this point it's been my most used LCD purchase, so even at 18.5mil I'll buy it again eventually. It's the best hyper-car in the game, imo, and the road car has the same smooth driving characteristics that the '97 Long Tail and '95 Short Tail have. Here's hoping they cut the price in half! The Hagerty-GT7 partnership equaling IRL pricing is already out the window, so I don't see why the couldn't drop the '94 F1 to like 8-10mil. Time will tell, I guess

in fairness to the game, you could reasonably achieve that credit total through normal-ish gameplay or you are now able to rent it completely free. they have made it better. it’s still too much though, in my opinion compared to the other Gr3’s in LCD

It's still incredibly cheap compared to what it would actually cost in IRL. Mclaren turned down a ~40 million dollar offer on it, so it should have been at least 20mil if the Hagerty partnership meant anything at all. But then I had budgeted 20mil for it, so when it dropped and was only 10.5mil it seemed like a bargain to me. All about perspective/expectations, I guess.

I do agree that it's ridiculous to have a Gr. 3 car cost 20x more than the average Gr. 3, but I think that's more of a problem with trying to cram way too many disparate cars into a single category. We need more classes: F1 GTR, Ford GT Test Car/Spec II, Ford GTE, the GT500's, etc shouldn't be in a class that is supposed to be an analogue for modern FIA GT3. With the addition of a real GT300 car I'm hoping we'll eventually move towards a JGTC/Super GT license, but there are so many other things that need to be addressed I won't be holding my breath.

Whooop whooop!Cant wait,thanks for the info.👍

 

[TFSI400]

Hmmm. There’s a bit of fanfare about this F1 GTR.

Should I do it? Got 12M credits, was saving them for something special. Is there anything likely to pop up in Legendary soon that I’ll potentially miss out on if I buy the F1 now and don’t have much time to grind??

Decisions! 🤔

EDIT: Bought it!

It is a Gr3 car so it can be used in the daily races. It excels on tracks like Tokyo and Monza where you can take advantage of it's straight line speed.

I just put it round Sardegna. RH and medium turbo keeps it just under 800PP, but it’s a bit lairy when you push. Mind you, I’m comparing to the GT500 NSX workhorse that’s just ridiculously stable and easy to drive hard!

 

[SuperSportX]

The F1 GTR is probably the best Gr.3 car atleast in my opinion, it's still slightly OP as it was in GT Sport; though the handling is noticeably more twitchy than the F1 GTR Longtail but that's to be expected with the lesser downforce.

I plan on buying a second one to re-do the 1998 FIA GT Suzuka race with one using JGTC specs and another using 1997 GT2 specs.

 

[jergto]

The used dealership should cycle every 2 days and the "HOT" cars should cycle within 1 day. The fact that its "HOT" and sitting for a week+ is stupid.

A multitude of video evidence and doing an excel sheet on them. And of course, my own tickets (although I only started doing it recently).

 

[Eggstor]

The S Barker and Spyder sold out, while the Countach and Challenger entered limited stock. That means 2 cars tomorrow night and 2 Sunday night.

That doesn’t disprove the claim that PD may have adjusted the roulette rewards in the economy patch. It’s definitely something they would never announce, as it would only cause another backlash on top of the one they were trying to repair.

Besides, PD is a business that obviously wants to maximize income through microtransactions. None of our negative feedback or Yamauchi’s denial of the matter will make them give up on that goal. So they made it easier for players to acquire credits on their own terms while playing the game, but likely also made it harder on PD’s terms, i.e. the chance of big rewards from daily tickets. It’s naive to suspect otherwise when real money are at stake.

Before the update I received around 5,000,000 cr. from my best tickets combined, but after the update I haven’t received anything better than one giving me a KTM X-Bow. The rest have been utterly hopeless. I refuse to believe that’s an extreme shift in luck when it just happened to occur after said patch.

 

[Pizzicato1985]

it's equal to changing LCD's whole row of 10 cars every 3 days - it's too fast imo. during normal play (without script and Tokyo grinding) people will not gain big money to buy all new legendary cars every 3 days.

But we've already been through it almost a full cycle. There are only 6 cars I didn't get the first time around and I have the credits to buy the final 4-5 that we know are coming; I'm sure most people that play regularly have at least half of the cars as they cycled through. The longer it runs the faster it should cycle as people will need fewer and fewer cars each cycle. Or it could just be ****-canned and they could throw all of them up permanently, that would be the logical thing to do.

After the patch, I got a 6⭐ticket with the Bugatti VGT as the reward, but have since gotten the lowest of low rewards from every ticket I opened. Before this patch, I had quite a few really good rewards like 2x 1 million Cr., 500K Cr., 100K Cr., cars and parts.
All I know is that the rewards are all random and the prize is predetermined.

Wouldn’t that mean it would take longer? If fewer people need them, then they should take longer to sell out?

 

[ebadevil]

I don't think that's how it works. The cars are there for a set number of days. They don't disappear after x purchases are reached. So they don't really "sell out" in the literal sense of the term. What pizzicato means is that they should reduce the number of days that the car is up there since people already bought a lot of the cars the first time around, so there's technically less grinding to do at that point. Less days per car= LCD cycles faster.
