[Scuderia Paul]

I love using Photo Travel and Photo Mode and posting on GTP but I am really not interested in PhotoStream.

Your sig is perfect for our Irish climate. Yet another miserable grey day in Dublin.

 

[Hayden]

Maybe we're finally getting the March update that Kaz mentioned way back when... Maybe

You might aswel make use of the photostream mate, show up the badly taken photos that will no doubt infect it!

As for the sig, yeah, thats why i got it, due to the pathetic weather this country always has lol

Well, looking at ye ol' calendar, the 22nd is a Tuesday (Monday for us fat people in America judging by the time conversion). Tuesday=store update, so maybe, just maybe we'll finally get some DLC and our long-awaited patch.

A 1 hour maintenance period in the middle-ish of night, on a Monday-Tuesday...the planets may be aligning!

Ahh, the good old 'what could maintenance mean' thread. It means maintenance.

agreed they are most likely giving the server some much needed maintenance and improving.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

That was supposed to be a joke, right?

 

[z0b3z]

Does this mean more skylines?

 

[thelvynau]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

That was supposed to be a joke, right?

Did I say it would be effective?

 

[gtuned]

Could be GT5 Update Maintenance. Matches up (I Think) with normal Update times of 10 to 11 PM EST.

It's been a while since there's been a "Could this maintenance notice not be actual maintenance?" thread.

It's maintenance guys. It's nothing else unless they actually announce it's something else.

Screw Photo Stream, fix online stability.

Exactly.

This, no more patches or DLC until they fix this. I race with a few people on here sometimes, all from the UK and we have people disconnecting all of the time.

It has been especially bad lately. My kingdom for online stability!!!

I feel its been particularly bad since the start of academy...

It's like PD get a bonus per log-ons(or log on counts are top priority) hence the disconnects so the count goes up

 

[CJSpencer77]

I do want Photo Stream, don't get me wrong.

Online stability takes priority in my book. Hopefully this maintenance helps, as now its nearly unbearable.

 

[diegorborges]

I will try to not get my expectations high this time.

But even Skylines would make me feel better right now. They just need to give us a word that they still care... a bit about us. LOL

 

[cally-dave]

Without adding petrol to the fire, could it be possible that DLC will be available in the form of.... Dare I say it..... Twin Ring Motegi? Would he perfect time to give it to give everybody chance to drive it before round 8 of GT-A, and also get the Academy cars installed in preparation of them being unlocked to us....... I dunno, just speculation........

Not likely. I expect that jewel to be withheld till the very end, as a means of elimination. Otherwise, why hold off on the Academy cars.

Maintenance is just maintenance till PD or an update say otherwise.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Its maintenance people, just maintenance. It does not say anything about an update. Maintenance= to maintain and/or fix things. Update= to add things to or otherwise enhance. Really don't understand why you guys start with your wild speculations every time the put up a maintenance notice. Wil an update follow? No one knows as there is no notification on that yet, so just chill people. You are getting your hopes up over nothing.

ok, but for all past updates- when exactly do they let us know that it's an update, and not maintenance? At the moment of download?

Now, c'mon Kyle. You truly don't understand why wild speculation happens by fanatics of a certain franchise when no one is EVER given any information about what is going on with said franchise? This is the information age. I know PD is feeling the sting because Sony PR and even Kaz himself often tout features and content that is to come and never does- but the solution has GOT to be something better than complete silence. That just makes them look more inept. Trust me, I wish this weren't so with all my heart. (tear)

 

[GTPorsche]

About a week before the update happens... when they announce an update.

Kaz is in the Nurburgring 24 hour race this weekend and PD is focused on GT Academy right now. The chances of any update before the 8 week GT Academy is over is highly unlikely.

 

[axl54]

Hmmm, same day as the game that shall not speak it's name's Porsche expansion.
Spec 2.0 coincided with that games release, could it be 3.0?
..................... ............................ it's just maintenance isn't it.

 

[GTPorsche]

It's. Just. Maintenance.

 

[diegorborges]

Well, just checked the japanese gran-turismo.com site and there's no sign of updates like the others.

It's only maintenance or maybe they'll activate PhotoStream.

They are playing with our feelings. I bet that they are all around a table sneaking in GTP, laughing like weasels and drinking root beer
