New update?

[CrazzyyyWolf]

Any idea what's going on didnt kaz state the beginning of april is when there'll be an update, desperately waiting for them to fix the economy really tired of doing 10 minute races for only 60 to 70k

 

[Gejabo]

70k for 10 minutes is pretty good actually.
What race are you running?

Far from the best though. I personally do Sardegna Windmills, just less than 4 minutes for 60k.

Your guess is as good as our's. Kaz didn't specify a date. I would expect them to roll something out this week, but maybe next week. If they roll past the 15th, being generous I'd say they missed their projection.

Y... es, but today is only April 4th.

The stated "beginning of April" could be pretty much any time up until the 14th, although chances are it'll be 6th/7th which is when the first break in the GT World Series is and the first Thursday (traditional update day) of the month.

As yet nothing has been announced, but if it's announced this week it'll be announced on 5th or 6th, and if not it'll be next week.

Ferrari race at Catalunya is only five laps and pays 75k if you win clean, which is very easy in anything ~700pp.

This event is also available at Maggiore and Dragon Trail. Same number of laps and payout.

I'm not expecting an update this week. Why?

• CLK-LM in legendary dealership. Fan favorite for over 6 mill is a lot of grinding. That's actually more than the 12mill Jag was with the old payouts. I think they will milk this.
• Chaparral 2J- see above, people like that car and not everyone will be able to win it from the missions. Even 2.5 mill isn't a small amount these days
• I think 3 new legendaries dropping today? Even if only one or two are popular, it encourages more MTX milking for at least another week. I bet one of them will be the Pennzoil GTR lol.

So I think PD will milk the popular cars in the dealership this week. I think next week is probably the earliest but maybe they'll push it back. They've been silent and I'm not taking that as a good sign.

three will be “sold out” from 8pm EST tonight until tomorrow night.

Ah got it. Yeah so that means 3 new dropping tomorrow

You shouldn't take it as anything. PD being silent is as normal as a morning dump.

Ahh Pennzoil GTR would be amazing. It's my favorite car, so id be quite thrilled for sure!

Things have simmered down since, 'The Promise', but I expect hostilities to resume in kind if there's no update by Saturday.

To me that means they are working hard on the update. Interpret it how you will.

The defence of polyphony and yer man Kaz on this forum has reached clown shoe levels of comedy.

Ya'll are a parody of modern gaming culture.

Right! A developer with over 300 employees doesn't have a communications department. That makes total sense! /s

When are PD typically anything but silent?!

Bro gt sport had races that took 12 to 15 minutes and paid 240k this is rubbish gt5 and gt6 had races that like 5 minutes for around 100k the economy in this game is rubbish it costs about 300k just to fully modify a single car

Even if they fix payouts, the content will still be lacking and people will move to that. Adding more events beyond 8 endurance missions was listed as further off with no timetable.

Well, this is GT7 and not Sport.

Exactly. If PD does not come with a significant update this week I reckon people will start to rebel again.

 

[CamPatUK]

I can't wait for this patch just because I want to watch the reaction here and on the GT sub. If they exceed my expectations and interpretation of their promise then they might turn some people around but if they only meet my expectations it'll be viewed as a drop in the ocean!

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

a drop in the ocean!

And even worse, all those drops will be like tears in rain once GT7 reaches it's end of life when the PS9 comes out.

 

[masterrawad]

There wasn't an update on April 1st at 12:00 AM. I want my money back!

 

[avilab]

I've got it on my authority that the update will drop tomorrow. You're welcome.

• Increase rewards in the events in the latter half of the World Circuits by approximately 100% on average.
  • Sounds like the pool of viable races will actually decrease?
  • Wait and see but the bar is low
• Addition of high rewards for clearing the Circuit Experience in all Gold/All Bronze results.
  • Cool, this is very welcome
• Increase of rewards in Online Races
  • Essential but no mention of custom races
• Include a total of eight new one-hour Endurance Race events to Missions. These will also have higher reward settings.
  • Cool but higher reward is expected, what we want is higher reward per effort (time*difficulty) I think? Sorry if I am speaking for you and you do not agree
• Increase the upper limit of non-paid credits in player wallets from 20M Cr. to 100M Cr.
  • Welcome but since I have not gotten above 3mil for more than 5 minutes I can't say this one is a huge deal.
• Increase the quantity of Used and Legend cars on offer at any given time.
  • Great news and very welcome. I wonder if they will stay longer or repeat more frequently or both?
• Beyond this there will be a few additional patches deployed between now and the end of April which will add new cars and tracks and make some other fixes.
  • Very welcome

So, I'm not bashing this coming patch but I think there are people who are expecting more from it than is actually promised. I am playing the game daily and loving it but I hope this patch overdelivers or is the first of many.

 

[cowboyjon]

All I play is Sport mode - I can't see the point in doing any of the other stuff as the credit rewards for them all are about to go up.

Conversely, even after playing for a couple hours straight and finishing top 5 with clean race bonuses I make bugger all credits. If you raced 100% sport mode you would literally HAVE to use microtransactions to get new cars to use.
