Clean, do you have a message in game when you can't connect? I had a message with a "cannot connect to server" code (which I can't remember). Either way it referred me to my notifications which said something to the effect of "file could not be uploaded...etc. I deleted said notification, and went back to the home screen. With GTS highlighted, pressed the options button on the DS4, selected check for updates and BOOM! Back online again! Hope this helps.
If you have confirmation of why people are being suspended, please let us know so that we can update the article accordingly.
There's no inconsistency. If you're naming people here, on GTPlanet, as cheaters, you're not abiding by our AUP and you're causing our site to be indexed by Google calling those people cheats.
Well that's an excellent example of false equivalency.
Exactly why they don't attempt to moderate it, what you consider tongue in cheek, others will be offended by. what you are offended by, others will not.
What they need is a banned user log just like here on GTP, funny comments would be a bonus. Because you're right, without knowing exact what people are getting banned for it's going to be a very steep learning curve for some people. And in this day and age where literally anything can be offensive at any given time, you have no idea what standards they are using. This is another example of not effectively communicating with the fans of the franchise.
Yes? But that wasn't the only point. I'm pretty sure you need a lot more to buy all the cars.
I agree it's a tough balancing act but a game like GT isn't fun to grind with. AI doesn't do it for me anymore and sport mode's payout is a joke even when I win.
But for daily workout you may win one of those cars X)
Also daily workout prize car works like a lootbox but without paying any real cash for a random prize car
In one year you have about 360 chances to win any expensive cars
So you're winning 360 cars a year X)
. I swear if I win another stupid VW Golf or Mitsubishi Lancer...
The way PD sets these astronomical prices for the classics is a shame. You have to let go of the need to have every car. This is very easy for me now because of Assetto Corsa, but that's way off topic.
I'm totally with you here. I have maybe 4-8 hours per week to spend "gaming," so grinding is out of the question unless I'm doing something I want to do. GT6 quick match was so fun and was paying out so well that I didn't have anywhere to put all of the credits. I figured this would be the case with Sport mode - make the pay so good that it was by far the best option for "grinding" (even if you finish last) and then - voila - everyone is online! This isn't the case yet.
Getting banned for no reason is never acceptable and the "greater good" is entirely subjective. If people get banned for no good reason it simply means the methodology for banning is not thorough or specific enough and shouldn't be used until it is. Kind of like running a beta for months with millions upon millions of laps turned and you still don't have all cars well BoP'd several months after release.
I don't know anything about PubG, I just disagree that it's ok for innocent victims to get caught up in the frenzy if that's happening. It's simply not acceptable in this day and age of instant communication and easily available replays and telemetry information. I'm sure you'd agree too if you were one of them. You're not one of them so it's ok if it happens to someone else. I disagree.
Not perfect and not thorough or specific enough is the same thing. The latter leads to the former. It's a question of resources. The more they put into it, the better the system will be. But if, and it's an if at this point, if innocent people get caught up in the system, there needs to be a swift appeal process and each case needs to be thoroughly evaluated by human eyes. They should also be crystal clear about what kind of things they are talking about. This is where PD's poor history in communicating with it's fanbase becomes a real weakpoint. It would be easy enough to put together a YT video explaining all the most common issues that could get people banned, with specific examples. "Here's some genitalia, don't do that. Here's some profanity, don't do that either. Here's a glitch, we'll patch it when we figure it out, but stop now." Etc. "Here's what we're not banning people for"...etc. A generic, hey we're banning people for doing bad stuff, posted only on the Japanese site so far as I'm aware, doesn't cut it IMO. It's not 2001 anymore. It's not good enough for the genre leading, AAA franchise.
The "physics model" applies to all cars. If one car is two seconds faster than another car, there is no slight change to the physics model that is going to make that gap up. A handful of aliens putting the various cars through the ringer would have sorted it all out long before release.
