Well, most people I've ever known who so vehemently disliked a product (enough to call for the firing of a staff of 60, enough to repeatedly rake over the coals in a public forum), take the hated product back to the store to get their money back or a store credit for something they do enjoy.

Surely, if this game makes you so terribly miserable, that would be a good option, yeah?

How many hours of gameplay have you gotten already to get to the level you are? 25? 30? 50? For such an awful piece of trash, playing it for more than one, maybe two hours must be a terrible burden. Maybe you could sell your copy on eBay, and donate the proceeds to the victims of the Queensland flooding, or something equally unselfish.

"Off with their heads! We DEMAND that they take no breaks, until they have provided us with a worthy game!"

Before release, it's a good bet that everybody involved on the project was working around the clock. Maybe you can get off your high horses long enough to let the programmers get a little sleep and see their families.

If you want to call this a 'community', act like one. That means a little give-and-take on both sides, not a collection of spoiled brats clamoring for more toys.

Ahh, different 'Washington' for me, way on the 'west coast' of the U.S. though I do like what Obama is trying to do. No one is perfect but hey, still a decent prez. in my view.

I must suck at the game that i've only had now for 3 or 4 weeks, cus I'm 'only' at level 29? That's funny. I thought I had a life and a child that I need to feed. I didn't know I 'sucked' because GT5 doesn't get my undivided attention. Maybe when a few of you grow up and have a family you'll see that things like this are trivial. That's an attitude you need to adopt. Because if you're so bent out of shape about a missed update that you're lucky to get in the first place, I can't imagine how life must be for you.

Yeah some people don't understand that other people have other things to do than play games 24/7 do they?

I'm at level 29 A-Spec and Iv'e had it from the release day, I must "suck" at this game too 💡.

My god these people will be in for a shock when they have to start living in the real world.

GT5 IS the real world, everything else is the simulation.:)

If they simply put on the news section in the game, seasonal events wouldn't be updated for this week or a couple of weeks, the 'spoilt brats' wouldn't be out in force.
It's just a bad communication faux pas really.
It's certainly not the end of the world, or is it.......

What would amuse me, is if the next lot of events had no xp or credits awarded. They were simply there so you could compete in similar matched vehicles and experience a hard fought race.

Brings R.E.M to mind: It's the end of the world as we know it....:)

*schock/horror* you mean playing just for FUN..
 
See the brave white knights defending a poor company...

I do think humanity has the technology to shell out endless randomized events and set them on a automated time frame. Maybe PD hasn`t? I`d like to know which guy at PD is responsible to shut down expired events manually!

Yes, that's it, for fun.

I am afraid that'll never happen, a lot of guys here don't understand that life is a journey, not a destination, so the concept that sometimes a good race is value enough and needs no further validation through xp and credit is a bridge too far.

And on that note, I retire from this thread.

Until events 8 fail to materialise!

Yep, I agree. But they didn't, so the GT5 community treats them like dirt? Because a game isn't the way they wanted it, and the developers don't run and tell them every time someone at PD blows their nose?

I have my own ideas about how to make the game better, because it does have some shortcomings. But there has to be something more constructive than 12 or 13 pages of complaints because somebody at PD had the audacity to take a break after what has no doubt been an exhausting and stressful product release.

Maybe the most hateful complainers have never been 'in demand' for anything in their lives, I don't know. I'll just chalk it up to internet bravery, I guess.

Exactly, and this coupled with the total lack of communication = unprofessional. If I acted like this with customers soon I would have no customers at all.
 
I'm willing to assume that the next seasonal events will be different to what we've had so far.
You never know - could be genuine races from grid start. I'm not losing sleep either way.
 
PD are not our friends so don't treat them as such, they are paid (by us basically) as professionals to do the job, there can be many reasons why something has gone wrong but as a professional you must inform and communicate that there is a problem and it is being worked on and an estimated fix time. PD has posted nothing up on the news section of the game. This is not some artificial world here this is a real life business whose personnel are not behaving appropriately on. It won't look good on their C.V. Every copy holder of GT5 is entitled to complain/enquire about anything wrong with the game.
I'm afraid those comparing working family life to playing games 24/7 are just bitter.
 
I remember a world not to long ago when not everyone had a voice to be heard. It was nice and very peaceful.

You sir, win one internetz for that lol-tastic post! :)
 
Guys, if you're still mad over there seasonal events just do what I do. FAP

Fap fap fap away.
 
I find it hard to believe that so many people can complain about something so little. If you just paid attention to the whole picture, there is problems with GT Academy events, they are handling those and then the seasonals. Damn it is just a game! Give it a rest and race online.

Meh i say.
GT academy is US only.

Even a unskilled developer could upload 5 races to a server, not complaining just think its lazy on PD's part
 
You can add servers to your list GTP_Rex2000. According to gtplanet news they have closed some prologue servers which are most likely become GT5 servers.
I noticed my game freezes more often than usual ^^ I bet they are working at server infrastructure!
