Why does PD ignore its fans?

  • Because they want you to feel addicted to the chance of winning a large prize.

The fact that unavailable parts are locked behind this unanimously hated mechanic instead of just being available for purchase in the parts shop is honestly completely tone deaf and mindboggling of PD. And when you do get a rare part, you get it for a car you don't give a pile about. On top of that, they are timed. My cousin saved roulette tickets for 3 months not realizing they would ALL expire when he finally went to go open them. His bad for not reading closely, but really if the game should NOT have a time limit on a prize. Do they not read these forums or listen to what people are saying at all? How is this acceptable?

None of the responses in the poll are correct, PD have very deliberatly designed the game this way and the whole thing is built on pushing MTX's through FOMO. Although the special parts can only be won by chance from the tickets they are a reflection of all the other design choices in the game that nudge inclined players to MTX's through FOMO.

You seem to have a very bad case of "when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" situation with MTX nowadays. Care to explain how paying for extra credits through MTX helps for something you can only get through a mileage roulette no matter how many credits you have?
 
Respectfully I don't really care about this special S parts and or the engine swaps so not getting them really doesn't bother me.

What I do care about is I still Cant buy the fxx-k because of this broken :redflag: roulette system.:yuck:

Maybe they wanted to sell tickets in PS Store but some countries would ban Gran Turismo 7 (because of RNG lootboxes = tickets) so PD left lottery tickets in this weird spot. Personally I hate tickets in this game and it isn't fun to wait for some ultra turbo or engine swap just to get some crap part for safety car or another ceramic brakes. It is very annoying for me that I can't buy the best parts in tuning shop but it is what it is.

I think that it is impossible to understand PD's logic in this case. You can make a guess but what is the point. It is what it is. You can accept it and still play in GT7 or move on to some other game with studio that respects their players, sanity and time of those players.

Care to re-read my post, I acknowledged that you couldn't buy special parts and you can actually find an answer to your question immediately afterwards. So feel free to re-read the post you quoted for the answer you seek.

Tickets for sale would be no different than any other gacha game. It's not gambling because you can't "cash out," ever. No country, that I'm aware of, has banned any RNG type thing where you can't cash out for real currency.

They're completely illegal in The Netherlands and Belgium and there are restrictions on how they are implemented and advertised in Japan and China. They've also been a topic of discussion in the Houses of Parliament here in the UK in recent years so there's possbly going to be some legislation regarding them here in time too.

They are considered gambling in some states but not in others and there are rules and restriction to ban them outright or restrict them in some states and not others.
 
Unless your friend was playing 1 day in 3 they couldn't hold more than 30 prizes as they max out and won't let you store more. They'd have only lost 30x 10000 credits at most or a few pointless parts. You can get almost treble the 300k by doing 30min Le Mans circuit.

Don't get so worked up about it. Every game has its flaws. GT7s is the reward system and the fact you can't buy a 20mil car for £3.50 from PS Store now

So in other words, you acknowledge that the situation has absolutely nothing to do with MTX but decided to bring it up anyway. Which only highlights the issue you for some reason have with MTX, it lives inside your head even when it's not relevant at all. The game certainly has issues but being forced to buy MTX isn't one of them simply because nobody's forcing anybody to do it. There's always the other option: actually play the game.
 
It's actually really sad when you read on here some folks just pretend and carry on like those parts don't exist.

That's pretty much all you can do though. The chances are so slim you might as well just forget about it.

Winning buyable parts for cashing in the extra menu's super-rare 6* parts tickets is the pretty much a virtual kick in the nuts.

Some of my friends are on our 3rd or 4th run through the game just to see what we can get out of the wheel...

No doubt some of these mechanics have pushed a few veteran players away... GT7 was the make it or break it game for some of us. Even our sole reason of purchasing a PS5...

Like what hope is left for the series? Do we shelf it and come back in a couple years of content updates? Perhaps.

Having completed most of what GT7 has to offer I just continue to do my daily workout get disappointed and try again next time.

Even with it's faults minor or major...however you see it.
GT7 is the best racing game available on the Playstation.

Nope, you are wrong again.

You are arguing points which I have not raised and seem keen for me to bite, but I'd rather you simply a re-read my original post and adressed that if you feel so inclined to do so rather than simply attempting to invent an argument for the sake of having one.

It would actually be straight up better if PD monetized the roulettes instead of this one-a-day nonsense.

That way, players who don't want to pay extra on top of a $70 AAA game can continue to happily ignore a core system; and players who really want the pride and accomplishment of obtaining those parts can now open their wallets and do so.

Color me educated.

Regardless, that wouldn't be part of PD's consideration towards selling tickets in other regions where it isn't prohibited. They clearly don't want to sell tickets, otherwise they would be.
 
Certain parts are locked behind the wheel to make you feel more special when you win them, I guess.

I still don't have an answer as to how having rare roulette only parts pushes mtx or fomo.
You can't use credits to buy a part , and the part has no expiration date . Why your cousin decided to stack tickets is beyond me .
I like the mechanic , it makes builds unique. Could it be LESS random , yes.
I also laugh people cry about a system that gives GIFTS. The only real criticism I have is the invitations having a timer attached to them and the car parts being specific to a vehicle.

Invitations should last forever .
A stage 5 turbo or carbon e shaft should be redeemable on ANY car.
Also it's been proven by looking at the code that the higher your collector leve ( even beyond 50) l the more level 4 5 and 6 tickets you get .

I think PD has a culture where Kaz is the only one who is allowed to make design decisions. He seems to live in his own little bubble and ignores all the feedback from fans. And when once every few years outsiders are allowed to actually interview him for a few minutes, they only ask very polite questions and don't confront him with critique.

I just hope T10 Studios will show PD how it's done with the next Forza Motorsports game.

No you don't, it's a good job no one claimed that the special parts directly do push MTX's or FOMO isn't it.

You stack tickets if the prize is poor because the pools are regenerated after an update so your prize will change. It'll likely still be poor, but if you stack a few tickets the odds are at least one of them will return better prizes.

You're one of the only ones. If there's a specific part you want for a specific car you own good luck ever getting that. It'd take on average over 177 thousand days to obtain each part once. I cannot think why anyone would think it's a good mechanic, but hey each to thier own.

Good for you and you're sense of humour I guess.
Invitations should last forever .
Invitation should be for hititng certaqin objectives and then last forever, for example, own 10 Ferrari's to be invited to buy the Enzo.
Also it's been proven by looking at the code that the higher your collector leve ( even beyond 50) l the more level 4 5 and 6 tickets you get .
Yes, that's true, it'll still take far beyond your lifetime to win each part once, likely beyond your lifetime to win a speciifc part you want for a specific car you want to install it on too.
