I have been very busy the last week, which has helped me avoid the temptation.

I've avoided any videos except for the launch trailer.

Plus, whenever I get tempted to open one of the many spoilers on here, a little voice in my head keeps telling me...

Do we know how they come up with the ranks of cars? Like legendary, epic, etc.? I never understood how they determine those.

Pertaining to the car list, somehow the Jaguar XJ220 is legendary, but the XJ220S TWR is rare, even though it is even rarer than the XJ220.

Not only does that make little sense to me, I'm wondering if there's even any point to it other than maybe how (in)frequently they come up in wheelspins. It'd be interesting if it was factored into AI opponent grids, though, where you have a much lower chance of racing against, say, a Ferrari 250 GTO than an F355 in singleplayer.

I'm convinced it was done as a half-baked attempt to ride the Fortnite hype which was very high when Horizon 4 came out. Outside of that it has always seemed super arbitrary to me too.

Yet the only ones that have any sort of importance are FE cars (like a "pearlescent") as they have some sort of bonus, everything else simply is the same gameplay-wise. I think the only difference has to do with the car mastery trees - the rarer the car, the more nodes are there to fill.

It's now only got top secret body options nothing else not even nismo ones 😕

That’s a shame. It’s a very popular car so why they would remove body options rather then adding them is a mystery. At least we’re getting a wide body for it. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that removing the Nismo options points to the Z Tune coming to the game at some point.

I'm guessing since the car is a rescan, the previously modeled kits wouldn't fit.

Seems like the other rumor floating around maybe right. Supposedly, the reason you could see the files on steamdb, was because one of the reviewers used their access keys or something to that effect.

The amount of entitled replies to this tweet from people who think that if you leave your front door unlocked, then you have no recourse against the people who broke in and stole your stuff is remarkable. "Technically, I never broke in 'cos it wuz open bro"... I really need to stop clicking on X posts.

This is why underwear is locked behind glass. It's insane how out of touch people are nowadays when it comes to theft and generally being insufferable. Just look at prank culture now, as long as it results in personal gain through attention or clicks they don't care what they do.

I deleted my X account (and all my other social media) years ago, I have had a much better life since then.

Risking your account and hardware to play a game a few days early to get clicks for a few hours on your Twitch or YouTube account is asinine.

If they wanted to stop people from doing it, they easily could. But all it takes is a single setting change in Windows. That suggests to me they don't really care. Banning people for playing the game they paid for, with a setting Microsoft provides easily, would be a PR nightmare. It's nowhere near the same as pirating it, as these people are being banned for.

I have not heard of a single case of someone being banned for this, in any game. I'm not worried.

I know some people change the timezones for GT7 to have a peak at the next set of Weeklies and Power Pack challenges. I'm sure it doesn't really hurt your account for doing it, but still not something I normally do.
 
I think I will end up doing it, I'm working a lot over the next few weeks and the games release date does luckily fall on my days off, so any chance I can get to play the game I will take it.

I have done the New Zealand thing once before but for a different game.

I have a fairly busy weekend as well. SmackDown after work on Friday, going to an arcade with friends Saturday, and lunch after church Sunday. I do have a few hours of free time in between, so I should make some good progress.
 
I have Wednesday and Thursday off but working the weekend, if I can play from Wednesday midnight then I'll do it.

You're correct in general terms, but you're fundamentally at the mercy of whatever Microsoft decides - and precedent isn't precedent until it is.

If Microsoft is having a sense of humour failure of the level it is right now, it only has to determine that changing your time zone to a different one to access the game earlier is one of the working around a technical limitations that only allow you to use it in "certain ways" covered by this:
The software is licensed, not sold. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you will not (and have no right to):
a) work around any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways;

We'd of course not advise you to do it, but you're right to say nobody's ever (as far as any of us are aware) been fingered for it.
