Notice of Account Ban measures

[ozzup]

Um, no. And hybriding made the game a million times better for us because it opened a whole new dimension of car customization.

A whole new dimension of cheating and abusing too.

GT5 was already dead.

What? I see hundreds of servers around the clock. That's quite a lot compared to other PS3 games.

 

[TanJaM92]

yep lol

 

[nickg07]

I really hope that at least 50% of the GT5 community at one point or another, owned a hybrid, just to show PD how popular these cars are. We really needed hybrids because this game felt bland and boring. It was fun to guess what modifications a user did to their car. It was fun to see variety. Something that is rare in GT5 with the duplicate Skylines, Miatas, and severe lack of cars that are not Japanese.

Disagree completely.

 

[ViscousTraction]

So has anyone here actually been banned?

 

[KiroKai]

No, but there are currently 40 people in this thread waiting for the first member to cry about being banned from GT5.

 

[MoLiEG]

Exactly. It's not about making winning eaier... who cares about winning, really???

 

[BHayes_S13Coupe]

Haha, you all need to chill out, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Hacked cars don't ruin online rooms, people ruin online rooms.

I for one have used hacked cars (online) for completely realistic purposes and only when drifting.

I have never cheated a seasonal or any competitive race / event ever.

This crack down on hacked cars will just make the game less customisable for people that used it properly, and thus boring.

Same here. With out the hybrids gt5 was getting stale. Like others have said if you used hybrids to cheat in the seasonals, you deserved to get banned.
The hybrids have made me interested in gt5 again, I couldn't careless about them banning me from gt5 online. Online racing, pp system is flawed. I for
one would much rather drive/drift hybrid cars offline than race online or play catch the leader in the seasonals.

Yeah who cares about winning in a competitive racing game? Thats just crazy

 

[tronrider345]

Sorry to point this out, but you guys are just talking out of your arse at this point.

Nearly every single thing the community as a whole has asked for, PD has implemented. Standard cockpit views, Motegi, A test track, as an example

No one wanted/asked for Motegi except the Japanese gamers which is why it was given as DLC..

 

[Downhill Dino]

That's quite the statement. Especially since a huge portion of people wanted tracks from GT4, and oh, Motegi was in GT4.

 

[Voodoovaj]

Completely agree with you here. Releasing Spa and then subsequently making it so only owners of it, can race on it, was a huge mistake. Now at any given time there are maybe 2 servers with it. What a waste of a great track

Agreed. I love it, but I've had very few races there.

Like I said, if I get banned from GT the road goes both ways. They need the dollars of gamers more than gamers need GT.

 

[tronrider345]

That's quite the statement. Especially since a huge portion of people wanted tracks from GT4, and oh, Motegi was in GT4.

A huge portion of people wanted tracks from GT4 such as Seatle and a few which I cannot remember .. but a huge portion of Japanese players wanted Motegi and Motegi only.. oh Motegi is in GT5 now.

 

[SirAlanClive]

So has anyone here actually been banned?

I was once banned from my local pub...and I was in several bands...but then the only hybrid I've used was a Prius.
I can't take this seriously anymore....sorry.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Can you back up this claim? My brother and I did specifically want Motegi, along with a few others of course. But we loved the track.

 

[tronrider345]

Unfortunally I cannot.. but it was the time when Kaz went to Spain and people (worldwide) were asking for xxx track to be in the next DLC.

 

[Starciller]

I have all of the DLC's and it wasn't until now that i realized that I never use the DLC cars and tracks at all but it is nice to have access to every car in the game though. Like Motegi I never have used it, the only track I use occasionally would be SSRX. I remember when GT5 used to have meaning and a reason now it's just dull and boring.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Unfortunally I cannot.. but it was the time when Kaz went to Spain and people (worldwide) were asking for xxx track to be in the next DLC.

A big reason for its inclusion over other tracks is probably the Gran Turismo Cafe (?) they have there at the track.

 

[ViscousTraction]

Ok can we get back on topic please? I don't mean to mini-mod, but I just wanted to discuss if anyone has been banned or if you won't get banned.

 

[tronrider345]

That ... I didn't know actually.. still, they could just put 2 versions of motegi, the Speedway and the Full Course.. thats me of course

Sorry.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

A whole new dimension of cheating and abusing too.

There were already cheaters before. Sony is beginning to take action so I don't see why people are still complaining about cheating.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Because now you can actually race with those that are using hacked cars.

 

[Bobert power]

So far I haven't been banned, but I had to delete my RX-8 20B "Tire Shredder."

 

[ViscousTraction]

So far I haven't been banned, but I had to delete my RX-8 20B "Tire Shredder."

Why? We're you warned by PD or Sony?

 

[Bobert power]

Why? We're you warned by PD or Sony?

No, I saw the ban threat on the news page here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Can you back up this claim? My brother and I did specifically want Motegi, along with a few others of course. But we loved the track.

Motegi is one of, if not my single favorite real course in the game.

 

[ViscousTraction]

No, I saw the ban threat on the news page here.

Oh. I hope there won't be any bans though, but I just wish that PD can get rid of only the 3000HP and over cars.

 

[Bobert power]

Oh. I hope there won't be any bans though, but I just wish that PD can get rid of only the 3000HP and over cars.

Agreed. I did have a hacked X1. But used in a lounge. It's really nothing special. But my Rx-8 meant alot to me when it came to drifting.

 

[rzeorz]

Did anyone actually get banned? My brother has been using hybrids excessively and he's still having fun online as we speak.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm sure it was very few people and only those using them in the Seasonal events.
