***WARNING: trading is not currently working - DO NOT TRADE***

[jnino92]

I just lost a ton of cars thanks to the server issues GT5 is having right now. A word of warning- If you have any cars you don't want to get lost do NOT trade right now, wait for PD to get their act together.

EDIT: Moderators have unlocked this thread and requested that all discussion remain about people who have successfully traded, and not merely posting that trading is not working or making off-topic comments.

EDIT 12/12/10 3:53AM EST - Servers are back up after maintenance, you are now allowed to trade a single car or car ticket per day. Any attempts to get around this, as of right now, have failed.

I'm going to unlock this thread with one request - do not post that trades still aren't working. We're aware of that. What I would like posted are the people that have successfully traded lately.

Go.

Posted yesterday by mods:

Pay attention, please:

• This is a warning thread about trades not going through.
• This is not a thread for arguing about the ethics of exploiting the birthday glitch or anything else not related to vehicle trades.
• To the best of my knowledge, as of around an hour ago at least, there is no 1.04 update.
• We don't take kindly to Rickroll links.

Please abide by thread rules so this thread isn't locked again.

Thanks for the heads up:tup:

 

[jnino92]

The mods should put up and sticky a warning, out of 5 cars I sent to my alt account only one got through. I'm going to message one to see if they can do anything..

 

[Live_Fr0m_NY]

took me like a half an hour to get my car earlier... it was wierd. Now i see that its happening to everybody.

 

[iNoob]

****

Lost so many good cars.

Trading has been down for the last 40min.

Oh man, just lost 30+mil of cars

 

[gukyman]

Lets complain to PD.

 

[jnino92]

I agree with gukyman, let's complain to PD and try to make them compensate us for this.

 

[MmmmBeeeer]

Complain to PD, "I JUST LOST 30 MIL+ WORTH OF CARS I GOT USING THE BIRTHDAY TRICK, I WANT MY MONEY BACK"

lol

 

[bob1888]

You could try but i doubt they will compensate.They will put it down to some technical error or some rubbish.

 

[jnino92]

Well, if we tell them 30 mil worth of cars it'd be suspicious, some illicit activity may have been up, but if we complain about losing, say, a formula car or a Le Mans car that'd be believable

 

[jnino92]

The Forza devs used to give out free cars all the time, i think.. I don't see why the GT devs couldn't do the same, even if what they give is just a gift ticket for a car of their choosing

Thanks for the heads-up, jnino. I'm going to close this thread to stop this degenerating into Bitchapalooza 2010, but I will sticky it so everyone can see. As I don't currently have GT5, could someone please send me a private message once it's back up, in which case I will delete this thread.

EDIT: Since there is not yet a stickied thread on this, we should keep this thread bumped to within the top 5 results so people know about these issues. Would you all please help me in doing so?

Bump post are not allowed on GTP. If a thread slips to page 2 and beyond, so be it.

And yes, I realize that this is irrelevant as this thread is now stickied, just remember for next time.

[raz_10]

I was able to trade one car, and a paint. successfully, 30 minutes ago.
I tried again later and traded two cars and one paint, only the paint showed up no cars.

 

[ll_-LUCIFER-_ll]

I have just done 2 car trades with no problems in the last 10 mins

 

[Ya Pops]

I just sent a car with no issues, but lost trades will remain lost I believe seeing as that Diablo's still AWOL.
Still don't think this is sorted out, and wouldn't risk anything valuable just yet.

Sorry, that was my bad - I received a couple of private messages claiming that trading was available.

One of them was me, my bad, as soon as I PM'ed you the 2nd trade did not work.

 

[NismoGTR34]

Wish this issue would stop as im waiting for the Amuse Carbon R GTR34

 

[HN7]

Doing some testing with gifting cars, car tickets and paint. Some work and some don't (except paint, paint works flawlessly) . Been trying this on and off since 5 so I doubt they'll turn up. I'd suggest holding off on trading valuable car until things go back to normal.

 

[Ya Pops]

Just sent the same car back with no problems. Still don't want to risk it though.

Edit: lol, sent the same car again and it didn't show up. DEFINITELY not worth risking the good stuff.

 

[Xouved]

Yeah, I just sent three cars that were received, so I'm not sure what's happening with this.

EDIT: Just received a car too, so it's working for me.

 

[golancer]

lost like 10 cars in trading

hope they can fix and get all cars back

 

[supersquirrel]

think i sent a lancia s4, got to its destination, but the caterham 7 dissapeared

 

[andrea]

Good to know but not to hear. I need to gift a car to Desmocidici today. Also posting in here to let him know I haven't forgotten about that =P

 

[RedBull_2_M3RK]

I lost a Toyata Minolta 7 Race Car, An a Peugot 908 2010 or 2009(not on ps3 right now), so yeah im mad.

 

[EnzoDBR9]

The great depression has begun.....................

 

[MentalPatient]

Thats what you get when people try to cheat the system by sending 15 cars in minutes using the stupid tricks!

 

[golancer]

why they just tell you you cant send again in that day to same user like the one car/day thing, buy just let you lost the car?
