Has anyone got any idea what raising your ‘collector level’ actually does?
Why are we doing it, why’s it a thing in the game? Does it unlock anything or have any practical purpose at all? It doesn’t appear to be linked with any trophy. I cannot see why it’s there. I ‘got’ the experience level thing in GTS, but I really can’t work out what they’re trying to do here...
 
It unlocks a few suits and helmets
And missions.
 
Beyond a certain point the collectors level does absolutely sod all. It’s just there to show how many cars you’ve obtained. I’m collector level 34 and I’ve received or unlocked nothing for the last 3 or 4 levels iirc. It doesn’t effect anything in regards to the roulette either. 3 1 star tickets for my last 3 daily miles.

Thanks all for the replies. So the consensus seems to be it unlocks a bit of stuff early on during the menus, but does nothing much afterwards. And then it stops at 50. Hmm.

Yeah but at least you’d’ve got a trophy for reaching 50 in GTS. That doesn’t seem to be the case in 7...

I noticed this page was updated for the Glen and Road Atlanta, but on what collector level Grand Valley unlocks?
 
they just want to give an arbitrary number, and give you another reason to drive you to collect cars up to a certain point...
the collector point is just to kick start you and train you to get on the collector's mind set.

Once you reach 50, they assume that you have been fully trained and that beyond that point, you will naturally just keep collecting cars, in hope to see if there will be any reward ...

"one more wheel for the rat to run on, and spend its time on..."
 
I’ve been at level 50 for a good 6+ months. It’s not something I ever take much notice of. But wouldn’t it make sense to up this cap to level 100. Plus offer prize incentives for milestones on the way upto 100?
 
I don't think so but I would be happy to be wrong
My US account my collector level is 50 (I own every car) and the roulette tickets are generally 4, 5 and 6* affairs. My alt GB account which was at a low collector level for some time, would only give 2 and 3* roulette tickets. That account is currently at a collector level somewhere in the 20s and only recently it started to give me roulette tickets of 4*.

The roulette payout, no matter how fixed it is, I believe is still tied to your collector level. It could also be tied to game completeness as well. My US account I have completed GT7. The GB account not.
 
I don't think roulette pay out had to do something with collector level anyway.
They are players with 50 level long time ago and still getting 3* & 4* tickets with 5k and 10-30k accordingly .
Also 6* tickets with special parts that worth almost nothing.

Roulette outcome is an issue that needs change , especially after the ability to buy S parts and engines for every swap available.
Of course they are " free" at a certain collector level ( i think that's 50 ) but players under that level they don't really need them anyway .

My collection of 3* ticket stuffs says NO.

When playing on an alternate account I remember it unlocking in the later half of the teens, somewhere around 17 I think.

It would be a great idea and easy to implement, but if we got prizes that would be detrimental to their micro transactions so can't see it happening.
 
I am very certain of the following: based on my extensive observations:

1)
The roulette stars is NOT related to your collector points.

2)
The roulette stars is related to the quality of your daily marathon. How did you spend your time driving to complete the 26.3 miles ?
was is just a time trial ? (= 1 to 2 stars)
was is just an arcade race ? (= 2 to 3 stars)
was it 5 laps race with intense competition ? (= 4 to 6 stars depending on difficulty)
did you complete the marathon during part of a 20 mins race ? (= 6 stars)

3)
The roulette payout is a mistery, it would seem stuck on giving us always the lowest prize
only on very rare occasion that it would give me the best prize out of the 5.
I still believe that you have a very small window to click on the prize you want, and will be able to get/choose it, but it is a tiny window during the spin...
(i am still working on trying to figure this out...) It used tobe much easier in GT Sport.

4)
collector point is not related to the completeness of your garage.
- you dont have to have every single vehicle in the game for your to reach 50.

For example:
I currently have over 350 cars, with many duplicates and i am not even half way through getting at least one car of every single car in the game), and i am already at level 50 months ago. currently at 50ish % game completion.

I believe you can reach 50 as long as you have spent 5 000 000 credits purchasing cars (someone correct me).

100%

Very much doubt it, otherwise it would be common knowledge.

Don't think so.

It is extremely easy : for every 1,000 credits that a car costs, you will get 1 Collector Point, and if I am correct, each collector level is 1000 collector points, so to reach level 50 you need to buy cars for 50M Cr. (which is ~1/10th of the value of all cars)

I can instantly dismantle this, except for 1.
But for 1. I thought there already was a thread explaining that the likeliness of higher tickets increases (because we dont see any 1* and 2* any more).

2. No, I only drive 2 tracks: Tokyo WTC 600 or Lake Maggiore 1h, that would by your idea always net me a 6* ticket.
Yet I see the same ticket distribution as everyone, largely 4*, some 3* some 5* and 6*

3. No, you can restore you ticket after seeing what it is (before the console saves your ticket reward and removes it).
You will always recieve the same price, no matter how many tries you do.

4. Collectors level is simply a number that shows the value of your cars.
Buy a car of 50k credits, see your collectors level go up +50. This goes for every car you purchase and the price of the purchase at that time (if used or legendary car). I am currently not sure how gift cars are evaluated, but either they are going to add the dealer price collectors level (likely) or nothing (unlikely).

This means you need 50 000 000 credits spend on car purchases to reach collector level 50.
 
On the original topic, as you increase your collector level you also unlock the ability to carry out engine swaps and buy 'S' tuning parts
 
#2 is not true.
As i'm a father of a 6month old i don't always have time to races, so sometimes i just Tomanoob Route x, and i've gotten everything from 3 to 6* (even 6* engine tickets) while doing that.

I often do custom races like 15 laps around daytona tri-oval, reward is often a 4 start ticket. Every other week a 5 star and every two weeks or so a 6 start ticket.
(collectors level 50, most menus done except the super formula race at fuji, all cars except the corolla gr collected)
 
I think that it's time to expand the Collector level system beyond 50...
And it would be nice to have a Constructor level with some prizes... Are PD listening??

Many are at 50 since at least one year so... But when you see that tickets stats don't evolve beyond level 20, I don't have high hopes.
 
PD has done nothing with the CP levels or with the roulette system after 1 year so I doubt anything on this front is gonna change.

Giving players that have put so much time into the game a useless 3* is what pd thinks is fun.

Sadly, except for #4 which is pretty obvious (you gain one Collector Point per 1,000cr you spend on BC/LC/UC vehicles, and per "as-new" value of prize cars but not special Gift cars; Collector Level depends solely on Collector Points and this was established before the game even launched), everything else you wrote is untrue.

The star levels or Roulette tickets awarded for Daily Marathon completion are not dependent on what you do to achieve the mileage, and are dependent on what Collector Level you are at. You cannot, for instance, earn a one-star or two-star ticket ever if you are Collector Level 50.

As for the contents of the ticket, each is fixed at the moment it is awarded to you along specific prize weightings for each level of ticket and there is zero possibility of influencing it; you can redraw the same ticket as many times as you like by rebooting the game before exiting the Gifts screen, and it will always be the same reward.
