Update 1.070.000 is live (Patchnotes inside)

[KBart]

Typical Douchebag-Move from a greedy developer.
The biggest complainst are all about money and that grinding is frustrating and takes too long.

So let`s nerf payouts!!

 

[rAtey]

I'm waiting for the next content update. I have no reason to continue playing GT7 atm.

How are the rewards effecting the actual racing though? There is plenty to do.

You think the oversteer in the game is bad, if I take all traction control off my car in real life it gets sideways immediately!

ayeeee, nice whip!! I have a 328i myself (my third BMW after an E24 and E38 which I still own)

I'm waiting for the next content update. I have no reason to continue playing GT7 atm.

I've been in a particular GT club for over 10 years now, and managing it for the last 6 or 7... so I kinda have a responsibility to that community to get certain things done. So I'll be on GT every day for the forseable future.

I was actually gone from GT altogether after a year on Sport because the lack of a Track Path Editor nerfed our entire way of life, so we were on Assetto Corsa on PC the last 3 years.

I find my motivation to save up for cars I want difficult when the only way is running the same events over and over - especially now that the duration that'll take has doubled

I don't mind the payouts being reduced on the grindy stuff. The game should just reward normal payouts for completing the missions/licenses/menu's. It's pretty obvious they are hoping to maximize the MTX profits, but let's not forget that the game isn't designed to own all cars in a month. It will run far longer than that.

I hate this logic and i wish people would actually think about what they are saying before they say this stupid line over and over. it doesn't matter if they game isnt supposed to be 100% in 1 month, at this rate you are literally spending 12+ hours to buy 1 car, 1 month or 10 years, 12 hours is 12 hours.

change that to just playing the game and you're looking at one car per month from the legendary list, very epic bro

No cars, for instance? Do you race your XJ13? Oh, wait, you can't buy any.

 

[MenocidiX]

But how much of that was grinding and how much was the 'story' of the game? I think I was on about 5-6m after doing the menus - I blasted through them without grinding any events until after that

I had about 5 million when I finished everything. I spent it even quicker, it's shocking.

oh, a lot of that was grinding. Cars I grinded hard for were the F40, DBR9, CTR3, and a few others I needed to own in order to test for club regulations.

 

[Randy Winston]

Did anybody honestly think that having a race pay ~30,000/min of driving was intended?

Also, the game has been out 2 weeks - isn't that a bit early to be crying that you don't already own all the exotic cars in the game?

Honestly I'm more mad I can't get an MR2 or 300zx

 

[Tekku]

I only have an issue with the payouts in regards to Legend Cars, otherwise I like that I have to spend a lot of effort to try to buy an LMP car for instance. I know that I will really appreciate it when I finally get it in my garage.

When it comes to Legend Cars I'm trying to have the mindset that this is a high-end collectors section for those that really want to dig into the game over time and be rewarded with something truly exclusive. There are plenty of expensive cars I would like to own from this shop but I'm not beating myself over it as there's way more cars over in Brand Central and Used Cars that interest me.

 

[Lain]

No more grinding on the Ranch. That's unfortunate.

I mean, it does still seem like a decently efficient place to grind. With clean race bonus, that 30K becomes 45K which is what you used to get for the SSR X event which was also one of the better grind spots… and that event takes nearly twice as long as the Fishermans Ranch one.

I understand. I am not one for grinding either, like I said before the payouts on the standard missions/licenses/menu's should be enough to buy certain cars. People quitting the game altoghether I dont understand though. There is still plenty to play for. Have you really completed the game already?

When are the servers meant to be online? I have 3 hours to finish my daily work out

pretty sure everyone is still down a few people got on for 5 minutes is how we saw some payouts

 

[KilzoneStrife]

Can anyone log in?

I can't.

It's not letting me online at all. Just stuck on a screen with a little GT symbol in the bottom right corner with a spinning circle around it.

Is everyone experiencing this, or just me?

 

[NJ72]

Exactly. I feel that the total payout for EVERY available event (single play through) should net enough to get most of the stuff you want. I haven't added it up, but given that the main menus pay out about 5-6 million I'd probably estimate all other events total maybe 2m more? So you're talking 8m from doing every single event once on gold - something that is out of reach of a lot of people from a skill perspective too.

The game is unbalanced for sure, this update has made that worse, and I hate to admit it, but it's pushing players more and more to buy credits...

 

[SolidSnake7735]

you and my boy @JakeMR2 both share in this despair. Also the MR2 in the Clubman+ race at Tsukuba is an absolute KILLER!!!

But this is a GAME - I don't play it to gawp at things I'll never own, a ticket to a car show is a cheaper way of doing that. I play a game to own the cars I can't in real life...

Same.

 

[Aleander]

I'm not looking forward to any grind for 200 hours lol.

If all races have similar pay you can "grind" by doing your favorite races.

 

[AutumnalGlow]

Disappointed that the custom race payouts seem to be unaffected too. They really need to be increased.

 

[Tomek90]

why would i spend real money on in game credits which i can farm in the game ? 2.5 € for 100k, if it takes me 10 min to get those in game i see no point buying it in store

Ah yes so because I have a different opinion it's completely invalidated because you think it's stupid .

Grinding is for real life job. Some would do something else but it's not that easy. Why having that in games?

Thank you, almost all BMW’s drive extremely well. I bought my wife a 340i, it’s quick as hell but cornering is only fairly decent. The F series M cars have a real tendency to break traction if you are not careful, probably the reason I feather the throttle in the game so much

 

[Mythaga]

It's just another example of how greedy and rotten big games companies have become.

All they care about is pushing microtransactions as much as possible and design games around this, rather than make games that aren't riddled with bugs and are actually fun to play.

R* are a prime example of this, PD have obviously taken a look at how much money they have made through Shark Card sales and wanted a piece themselves.

Only way to stop it is to NOT buy any virtual currency no matter how hard it is pushed. But alas, there's always a few whales who have loads of money and spend thousands, so games companies do it all the more... 😠

Imagine you earn $200 per hour in real job. You don't need another job.
