Hi All!

As we’ve not seen the mysterious silhouettes from Kaz at all over the weekend which he normally does do, do we reckon there’s no dlc for the end of the month or?

Or do we reckon it’s a going to a surprise?
 
I’m slightly out of the loop. Is this the latest we’ve ever been in the month without a tweet?
 
Nothing this month, we had that update for the FIA stuff but no actually DLC stuff with the Mysterious Silhouettes Kaz tweets out.

The answer is 'it still hard to tell but assume we aren't getting it', and if we do then its a surprise. Not getting let down then.
 
Ok lol thanks for your imput dude
There's a whole other thread where this gets discussed. Why not look in there?

Also, just be patient. PD isnt your typical developer who gives out infos for the community.
Kaz is probably still petting the new GTR and hasnt had time yet :p

Because I didn’t check or know about it and am doing this on my lunch break thanks.....
 
I dig these monthly "High hopes" threads. No animals are hurt with these posts. All fine by me.
I wouldn't mind them either, but what gets under my skin is the people who would lash out at PD/Kaz because they didn't release an update they're not obligated to release. Even more so those who ask for a tweet that confirms no update
 
Isn't this about the time when the "Leeks" happen for the end of the month anyways? Since update is around Friday's?

I make a joke about that stuff. Instead of being like this:

These threads are symptomatic of a few things... there's a lack of content, this has been widely acknowledged... and they updates tend to be more sporadic than people want.

Lastly the content when it comes tends to not stretch out all that well over the period between updates.

Ok we love the Group C cars but there's a limit to peoples' enthusiasm.

I would also note you get people who will invaribaly complain about this 'periodic content' not being available day one.

I study marketing and business at the uni, studies prove that newcomers/not experienced customers will always ask for more content (cause they don't control the existing features and have no interest in mastering them); and more seasoned customers will generally ask for better performance of the content that already exists. I don't say it, researchers do.

It's a common thing in any online business with free content, it happens always. In top of that, listening to the newcomers is never a good thing to do for this type of business, because newcomers will probably leave as soon as something more exciting shows up (the new AC Competizione for instance), and they will go to the new thing and will ask for more content, and so on, until they find something that really fits them (Need for Speed: Money grab 3)

Marketing specialists know, PD knows.

That's why Kaz is around driving cars, he's got better things to do than looking at people moaning in tweeter. I'm surprised he's still doing this, with so many ungrateful little bastards moaning about everything. If I was him I'd be like... "Piss off all of you, no more GT, go and play candy crash!"

I actually answered to the last update announcement and I told them "Thanks, PD. Beautiful game." Being grateful is a very healthy thing to do, just saying.

With all due respect this is plain projection. Someone will always come in as some kind of 'expert' and state all kinds of "studies shows" stuff, not cite anything not that that is really worth anything and then end with a 'trust me, I'm a marketing major' so obviously you know all about the machinations of a foreign company as if you're a fly on the wall.

No one should sit up on a high horse and tell the peasants to eat their gruel and be greatful but obviously its common.

Nah to that.

PD are like Steam, they run on their own schedule and I dont think they give a crap about any notion of western business practices.

LOL people take this too seriously. I love to sit in my horse and watch the peasants, while having a tea :cheers:

I am interested to see some studies though. I'd like to read about it in more detail out of personal curiosity :)
 
I imagine content updates are bi-monthly now. That seems to be how they're doing it.
 
I want the option to allow specific drivetrains in online lobbies for N classes!

Not sure how you arrived at this.
May - Le Mans
April - Dragon Trail Gardens
March - Tsukuba
February - Maggiore layouts
January - Monza
December - Kyoto layouts

June has 6 days to go. I see no reason why there won't be a content update later this week. The only thing announced in advance is car teasers.

If we get to Thursday afternoon and no maintenance notice then we know there's nothing in June.

I was referring to cars. I should have clarified.

Ok, thanks for clarifying and I understand your point. But...

May - 9 cars
April - 3 cars (the two Audi VGTs and the Supra concept).
March - 12 or 13 cars.
Etc.

Yes, we didn't get a silhouette in April but we did still get 3 cars (I know 2 were 'duplicates' sort of except that they drive very differently and have completely different braking zones).

I think it unlikely now we will get more than one car in any June update though, so your point could well be accurate going forward.
