Sooo.... I got a question - Repeatable Seasonals?

[Swagger897]

It has come to my aggravated attention that I can only do the seasonals once, after Golding, and there are no seasonals out yet where I can repeat as I did in Gran Turismo 5. I assume this is supposed to be as such for a reason, but when will we get the seasonals where we can go over and over and over and over and over again...

It's a bit frustrating after dumping a few million into something.... Aaaaaaaaannd then I have to grind again

 

[Gogga]

plenty promised updates to come. hopefully all the seasonals as was in Gt5 will soon return. And for crying out loud PLEASE force SRF off in the time trials!

We'll get races eventually. I think PD is still "teaching" us the new physics. Of course, although time trials only pay out to the limit of the purse on a one-time basis, they can be done over and over for rewards beyond that of game bucks. I've spent about a thousand miles on super lap 2 trying to achieve a decent time I can be proud of in the Megane.
@1:17.3xx I'm almost there. And along the way, I've learned a lot about tuning.

I have about 7.5 million in the bank and have had little need to grind so far.

Which car did you use in super Lap 2? HSV or R18 by any chance?

 

[sid_chiclana]

It's only TT's ATM, but all the seasonals will return soon (we hope)

Which car did you use in super Lap 2? HSV or R18 by any chance?

I used the Pagani Huayra. DS3 user here and managed a 2:10.380 with Traction Control OFF, ABS 1, SRF OFF.
Hope it helps

In my opinion leave SRF optional for people who want to use it and people who do not want to use it for Time Trials.

but atleast they should split the leaderboard. the only way to be competative is to use srf since the masses are using it

 

[nowcontrol]

If they are going to keep all aids optional, especially SRF, then they at least need to incorporate some list filters into the leaderboard.

I read on these Forums that GT5 did not have repeatable earnings Seasonals until year 2 of it's release, so I would be pleasantly surprised if it happens in 2014.

Ugggghhhhhhh. I still have a bit of hope we will get one soon, as GT5 just got another one..

Leaving SRF optional is almost the same as forcing it on as far as the leaderboards go. You'll have to use it to even get close to the front. I have a better solution. Leave it optional for anyone that wants to use it to achieve gold times and get the reward, or anyone that just wants to fly through the Seasonal as fast as possible, but don't count those laptimes in the official leaderboard. SRF operates outside the physics parameters of the game and any real life physics known to man and IMO has no place being on an official TT leaderboard. Turns the TT's into MarioKart IMO.

I don't think PD is teaching us the physics when SRF is forced on or even optional in TT's. That's the opposite of teaching physics, because what it's doing is teaching you drive beyond the realistic parameters and limits of the car but don't worry, an invisible hand will reach out and keep you on the track and make you much faster as a result. Why bother spending all that time and effort creating a wonderful new physics model if you're going to throw it out the window in TT's? Makes absolutely no sense.

Said it like a Boss. It couldnt be said any better than the way @Johnnypenso put it. I think you should draft a letter and mail it to Kaz

 

[bongoplyr]

I know this is beating a dead horse, but in what competitive arena do the contestants NOT take full advantage of every possible assist?

I couldn't have said it better myself.....

I have no interest in getting to the top for now, as long as SRF is optional. I will not turn it on just to gain 2-3 seconds and knowing i'd be further up the leaderboard with the help of these magical hands.

At the moment I am more than happy just to get as far as I can without it, I have not used it at any point during the game unless it is forced on as it is in the Licence tests, which is also senseless. If it absolutely has to be part of the game as it is, it should be optional throughout. but as said already, It should not even be applied in TT's and Licence tests.

There is no FUN in being competitive with SRF, Like @Johnnypenso said, it is a lot closer to MarioKart now, but on another level.

I did not buy this game so that I can be helped around the track by magic invisible hands. I WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR!!

 

[croozer_63]

hey all, here we go AGAIN. The great srf debate. Truth is I don't care either way, but I will say that there are plenty of times the cars don't behave like real cars with srf off. I have seen Lambos spinning out on easy corners at 40k's. If I had spent 200k on one in real life and I counldnt take a corner at 40ks, Id be pretty "annoyed". Don't really see what the big deal is. Its the same for everyone, either on or off. Just for the record, did a 1:6xx on my second lap in the Lancia. Pretty cool time trial.

 

[xiando]

To the Shopboyz,

I give two craps for whether anyone uses SRF or not. If the person using either car in that event is one of the jerks always denigrating others for using SRF, then using either an HSV or R18 in superlap 2 with SRF OFF is a worse "crime" than using a more appropriate car with it on. Which you use? My guess either the HSV or R18, all while puffing your chest about SRF as if any of this was real.

I bought this game as a distraction. Grow up and get beyond your gAmEr attitudes.

 

[Nurburgthing.]

@Swagger897 - This is the answer you seek.

TTs don't repeat pay, races do.

Lets try and not turn this thread into some lengthy, futile debate over something totally unrelated to the OP 👍.

 

[nowcontrol]

How the hell you have come to this conclusion is beyond me, is it perhaps because you do not have the R18 or HSV yourself and was unable to do the same thing.

Anyway, you are suggesting that power limiting an engine in the this game, something which can be done in the real world is a crime, whereas using some fancy non existent magical autopilot sorcery that somehow holds it all together for you to pull off that super flying lap that would be impossible to do in the real world is far more acceptable!

Maybe you need to go play some NFS of Burnout instead of this game, I think you should sell your copy, and never let the GT series distract you ever again.

Stripping a few HP to meet event requirements is one thing, 290HP is totally another. Stripping 290 hp from the R18 is far more an Aid than SRF. Apparently I just ran into another someone who doesn't like reality, or at least doesn't like being reminded that they're a hypocrite.

Personally, I enjoy GT6. I'm not an incessant arm flailing, foot pounding whiner who can't function because SRF is on in some events or that PD thinks of more than the handful of "real racerz" (gAmErs by any other name) who seek to control the games progression, as if they were more than a tiny fraction of the consumers who patronize the development of the game. You want real, put a hydraulic ram behind your racing console to break your back when you hit a wall or get unintentionally rammed by someone one, and don't forget to put in a couple flamethrowers while you're at it, for that "real" fire hazard. Snort. what a freaking joke. PD developed the game to meet the desires of all of its consumers, within the bounds of practicality.

I have all the 25 cars. I was able to choose the R18 or HSV for Super lap 2 if I had wanted to. I chose not to game the game, or at least to game it as little as I could, since the required PP was 550, not 600 or 631. I used the Megane.

Maybe you should grow up and move out of mom's basement. Or just grow up.

^^ GUYS, why are you carrying on. Read the OP, if you have nothing to add or no answers, take a trip to a private message session.

This thread has nothing to do with SRF.

All this public bickering is utterly cringe worthy.

Yeah... Sorta got the feeling of that being true now. And if we debate SRF then make a thread in the GT 6 as no one will notice it here in seasonals...

 

[boxster233]

God yes. I was looking at all the times and seeing that everyone uses SRF.

 

[Gentoo64]

I don't use any of the assists, but I think the only ones that should be available on GT6 are TCS and ABS.

 

[Gogga]

God yes. I was looking at all the times and seeing that everyone uses SRF.

Its a shame because it seperates the real races from the Mickey Mouse ones. I'm not the fastest driver. Highest I made was 600 something in gt5. This srf optional is really killing the time trials. Waiting for the drift trials to start because that's where I'll be at.

 

[CBH]

Because with SRF it keeps the car on track no matter what. You can push the car over its limit through the bends without spinning out and still have a legal lap time. Two words 'Arcade Racer' not The Real Driving Simulator
