This Week's Mileage Exchange Features the Missing Inks...

[Famine]

For the third time in this thread. B2 Half Matte was already available. See post #308. Or is that not enough evidence?

It's not, no. There was a brief period where a bug gave some people access to a debug mode that allowed them to see all the paints (shortly before that video was uploaded). I have manually logged every paint as it appeared. B2 Half Matte is not on the list:

I can physically check them all again (that's my GTPEDIA master sheet, and I need to finish the GT Sport chapter this week), but as things stand we've seen 586 of 587 paints.

TRUST - NO - ONE !!!

Well crazily enough, I just checked my in game inventory and I have B2HM despite not ever remembering seeing it in Miex I never had access to debug mode either (in fact I had totally forgotten about that news post until today). I can PM you a photo proof to show it.

I remember the same thing happening with one of my rims as well. I always cross off items on my manual list right after I buy them in Miex, but one day I came across a rim that already have a checkmark in Miex, despite NOT being already crossed off on my manual list. I'm guessing it's a glitch with the gamesave sync from PD servers...

I also have it, but it hasn't ever appeared in MiEx to my knowledge (I'll look through the sheets again later).

If the guy in the video from January 2018 has it and hasn't used the debug mode, it can only have appeared in the first 15 weeks - and the only BHM paints in that time were B1 (Week 11), B7 (Week 9) and B8 (Week 7).

3 new paints for me as well, now I'm missing 4 chips.

I checked on the game and I also have B2 Half Matte, and since I bought the game early December 2017, I guess the paint probably must have appeared between December 2017 and January 2018.

And btw, are you sure we only have 587 paint chips? Because I counted mine and I believe there are 599 chips in total (including the 4 I'm still missing).

Same thing for me.

 

[Marius789]

I’m missing so many things from miex. Damn. I wish they would just always have it available like an entire miex store.

So Yesterday's update brought no new Wheels, Decals, Helmets or Profile poses....as per usual. Ho hum .....

And the cars are unchanged from last week, as it's a minor update week.

Special Paints Wise, and carrying on from last week...

More Matte Metallics = (Pinky/Purples) P1 to P5 inc., (Reds) R2 + R3, (Whites) W1 + W2, (Gray) K1.

Large Dark Flakes = (Greens) G2 to G7 inclusive, plus (Blue) B1.

So Another 3 NEW COLOURS FOR ME THIS WEEK ... R2, G6 + G7 ............ YIPEEE !!!!! 👍👍
(since I only "discovered" the M.Ex. in Week 3 !!!)

Basher still a Happy Bunny ! .... as now have 598 (out of 599 ?)

[ this Concludes Today's Public Service Announcement.]

Obviously its not new, but weirdly I had a missing wheel this week for the first time in maybe a year or more, so it must have not been in the rotation for a long time.

Us too.

For what it's worth, I have B2HM available in the store as of 4/9/19. Haven't actually purchased it however.

No new wheels, decals or poses as usual...

The "Special" cars are repeats in colour (There's only ever been one colour for the Atenza Road Car annoyingly), so not very special.

And we start the paint rotation for the third season now. No new paints are expected to come now as we've been through the entire list, but I missed the first few weeks of the second round, so I've got 3 out of 35 crossed off the list this week.

That concludes @BasherB59 's Public Service Announcement

 

[Big_M]

One of the blurple ones on the right half of the top row was new for me. Might have been a very early one, though.

 

[Racer93]

2 new paints for me this week, R2 Dark Flakes L and O1 Dark Candy. Now I'm missing only 2 paint chips, I'm almost there!

 

[Satomiblood]

I really hope they open up all of the manufacturer paints.

Bloomin Cheek !! Is P2 Dark Large Flakes there ??? As that's the only one I'm "missing", I think.

Indeed it is, P2 Dark Flakes L is on the mileage exchange this week. Congratulations

 

[05XR8]

Glad the Atenza is back. Now I can use that for the Nations race.

So, has anyone an explanation for the duplicate colour names?

I know there were 2 Half Matte G5, but apparently they fixed their names, because I now have a G5 and a G6 (and I have never bought a G6).

Also, there seem to be 2 each of Dark Small and Large Flakes R1. (for those there do not seem to be others missing though)

There are also 2 different R1 Dark Candy Metallics. I dunno why PD chose to name the dark shades as R1, R1 and R2. It'd be much more logical to name them R1, R2 and R3, since they're all different.

A stranger case though is Performance Blue. It's a duplicated manufacture color, but they look exactly the same, or at least my eyes couldn't note the slightest difference. It sounds like a mistake...

 

[sirjim73]

I've a nagging feeling that there are 2 deliberate duplicates, in order to get the number of paints to exactly 599. It's almost like they came up with the paint list and someone said (in japanese) "can you not add a couple more - 599 sounds so much cooler than 597"

But if that was the case, they'd need to add another duplicate. IMO 600 would be a more exciting number, I guess.

Totally agree..I've tried (and failed) to spot a difference between the two Performance Blues. But didn't Honda have several different versions/shades of Championship White over the years ? So maybe there is a minute difference, but you need a PS4 Pro & 4K TV to see it . 💡

===============

Edit to Add: So we've got the Silver Merc/AMG Safety Car again...wef Tues.13/08

Plus the Mazda Atenza Gr.3 Road Car...in guess what ? Yup, Gran Turismo Silver for the umpteenth time !!

(Just for Variety I've bought a couple & painted them in different Mazda (I think/hope) Colours...Meteor Gray Metallic & Soul Red.) Could one of you Geniuses confirm those two & advise if there are any other Mazda Colours I could use ? Thanks..

Carrying on from last week...
Dark Large Flakes = (Blue) B2 to B5 inc., (Purple) P1 to P5 inc., (Red) R1 and R2.
Dark Candy Metallics = (Red) R1, (Orange) O1 and O2, (Yellow) Y1 and Y2.

I didn't know about the G5 duplicate, but for the R1 dupes they are different shades. If you look at the way they are organised in livery editor, one is at the start of the list while the other is all the way at the end, closer to the pinks/purples. This led me to think they are supposed to be called P6 Dark, but for some reason PD called them R1 again.

Performance Blue is the real mystery because it's the same shade. It comes from the Ford Focus ST '06 in previous games, and as far as I know that's it. It's not like the multiple shades of Honda's Championship White that could present as different chips.

If I'm good enough to ever get to a world tour, this is the kind of questions that I would ask Kaz directly. But since I'm too slow and no one fast is nerdy enough to find paints exciting, I guess it will have to remain a mystery

Yes, but this happens not only with the dark shades, but with all types of special paints (Matte, Chrome, Large flakes, Small flakes etc). R1 is always on the beginning and R2/R3 are always near the end of the list. So I don't think they'd be named P6 and P7, I suppose they'd be R2 and R3.

That's true but R2 Darks already exist so it can't be named that, and it's not to the right of R2 so it can't be R3. Since it comes after P5 then P6 is the most logical name but hey, my guess is as good as yours

Where did the factory paint go? I have been away from GT S for a long time and now when I'm back there is no factory paint, just special colours for 2 weeks (or maybe 3 weeks).
