The Things That Annoy You

[Cherryturbo]

Back in the day, anyone who abused a glitch or exploit in an online game got banned. Now we have folks bragging how much cash/engines/cars they have obtained doing such stuff. Some folk have taken this further by using “scripts” to farm ”unattended”.

You have broken the game.

Tuned races are now a nonsense and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future for those using stock models. Potential car selling is now unlikely as this will benefit exploits even more & break the in-game economy further.

I understand that folk can play the game in their own way but surely, playing it in this manner is not what the developers intended.

My opinions, for what they are worth.

EDIT: Please note that I did say these were my opinions. I am not looking for folk to justify these exploits. I hoped that people could respect my views without resorting to sarcasm. Thank you.

Um. The whole tuning thing is PD's fault to begin with by locking parts behind a roulette wheel. In fact I'd say this makes it more fair by giving more people the tuning parts/engines.

Tuned races are being filled with tuned cars? What madness.

The audacity! How dare you bring this tuned car to a checks notes tuned race!! BRING BoP BACK TO TUNED RACES!

1. Players are able to claim a guaranteed engine swap regardless of the glitch, so everyone has the opportunity to make a broken tune if they so wished.

2. It's on PD to balance the PP system properly but it's obvious they've failed with the engine swaps. The players haven't, for example, modded any stats of the engines themselves or been able to create engine/car combos beyond what's available in the base game.

Just put ALL parts into TUNING SHOP and not into some stupid TICKET. I hate lootboxes.

Let me, again, point out how ridiculous the ticket system is.

We have already verified that the total car parts, the special ones where you can't get anywhere else but from these tickets, is about 205.
We have also verified that the only tickets that give out Special Car Parts are the 4* and 5* or the very rare dedicated 6* (parts) ticket.


I'm going to do some simple math here:

I've gotten, over all the days we've had the glitch, exactly 5923 engines (and counting until they patch this) and this basically translates into also the number of 4* tickets I've opened up. Yes, we also win engines from 4* tickets but they are such a rarity that it makes it irrelevant, and I also personally opened about 50 4* tickets manually before finding the script anyway so it all evens out regardless.

Out of all these 4* tickets, I've gotten 121 of the 205 Unique Special Car Parts (I'm not counting duplicates here)

The ridiculous part of all of this? Is that this is a glitch, and you can only earn one of these tickets per day without it. So basically, I've opened up, literally, 16 YEARS worth of tickets (5923/365 = 16.2), and I'm barely over half of the total special car parts.

Imagine you don't care about most of the special car parts (since some cars most people don't care about) but want to have your GT-R Nismo fully tuned with those parts.
I still am yet to get the Titanium ConRods and Pistons for the GT-R Nismo.

The odds of getting said part? Simple... 1 in 205 parts. For getting a special car part in the 4* ticket is 10%, so 1 in 10. And 4* or 5* tickets you get them (with collector level 50) on average (post 1.17) one every 2 days on average, 1 in 2.
And you get a 0.02% odd of getting a specific car part you want, or, 1 in 4100 tickets or... 11 years.

Yeah, I've surpassed this number, but that's the whole point. This is RNG... If you get unlucky, you will end up never getting the part and instead get duplicates of others that you don't want, which is what is happening to me and a ton of others.
Or, you can get 3x 1 million prizes in a row like I did... Yeah, this is a 1 in 1 million chance. lol Super lucky here, but I'm more interested in parts than credits.

Credits have reached a point where I had to buy duplicates of every single invitational car in a different color to avoid reaching the 100 million cap several times now.

This. sistem. has. to. go.

This is so bad.

 

[MrHorsepower]

Regarding the updates, what annoys me the most is the small number of cars we are getting in each update. I would prefer to see more cars per update, but I don't know what PD's plans are

 

[DK]

Here's two annoyances that have stood out to me the most recently:

• Backing out of a "Style" in GT Auto takes you back to the Style menu instead of the Style list.
• When navigating through the circuits, I need to select a circuit and then select Circuit Experience to check whether I've finished it, let alone what trophies I've got for each sector or a full lap.

Back in the day developers shipped games which were complete and had functioning, non-exploitative economies in them. PD is to blame for this and they deserve no sympathy.

 

[Malipiero1]

it does on my version of the game, try a new PS5

I still play on my PS4. I would love to try a new PS5 ... unfortunately where I live none are to be had (neither commercially nor privately)

 

[Roggers]

I wish they would it more visible or easier to change oil!
Im sick of having to check pre race by going to the auto shop to check the oil.
They need to include an option in the car tuning page that shows oil level and an option to change it too

 

[Sn1per666]

Clean race bonus. CRB should be for multiplayer only. Want the player to drive cleanly in single player? Put light damage and penalties in all races. I shouldn't lose a third of my earnings from a minor bump with a stupid AI that decided to brake check me on the exit of a corner. I think the only reason this doesn't get more complaints is most grinders do the 4 high paying races that give easy CRB.

 

[Nismonath5]

The Nissan R92CP.

In previous GT games, it's had a power output of 900bhp or thereabouts. In its description, it mentions the official output being over 887bhp, with 1180 in qualifying spec.

So why, in GT7, does it come with 788bhp?

 

[Galvston]

this fanbase annoys me more than the game tbh

 

[John_Marsten]

Yeah damn those lifelong fans of the series being frustrated with a game that has genuine, easily avoidable shortcomings. I can't believe that they are annoyed about getting royally shafted by PD.

This is so bad.

When I initially played the game I thought this was the case only to learn the more desired parts like engine swaps and other parts were only obtainable through the roulette... talk about disappointing... you know the game is broken when people have to take advantage of a script/glitch to enjoy the game which is me included lol

That one I can explain. 788bhp (or more specifically, 800 ps, as per the Nismo Race Car Directory) is the official rated power of the VRH35Z engine, as used in the R90C, R91CP, and R92CP. I'm not sure why exactly it used to be more powerful in older games, but at the very least 788 is correct, assuming you trust official numbers.

-The newsfeed should be integrated with the showcase pavilion.
-No undo toggle for scapes nor race photos.
-Original Xbox trees 🌲
-Lack of FOV options, they need to give players a lot more flexibility in this regard.
-Overly cluttered Heads-up display, GT7 should have seen a complete redesign of the HUD in my opinion.
-Nintendo64 Kangaroos at Bathurst 🦘🪃
-Aryton Senna like A.I
-Lack of Dynamic Weather at tracks like Daytona.
-No switch version
-Player's guile in sport mode.
-Creepy Kaz look alike NPCs that stare at you with a pedo expression on their faces while you take photos in race mode.
- While the game is very pretty (most of the time) the uglyness of it is easily exposable with their excellent photomode features.
-Mostly a rehashed soundtrack with old music that dates back to Gran Turismo 5.

 

[D-Mind]

Previous best laps of 'carreer' races not being saved.. When i'm grinding and get a really solid lap in, there's no way to know its your BEST one (unless you keep track yourself, but no one really does that do they)

 

[S-Type]

Get better at the game. Rain races are good fun especially with how they implemented changes in track surface depending on the weather, and manually pressing a button to turn your wipers on and off is a nice touch. Plus pit strategy. You obviously go WOT everywhere then wonder why you spin off the track and come last

I could get with the rain if it were truly dynamic. It is cheesy to just rain on the same lap every race. The physics of pooling and drying are great but the implementation of the rain overall is terrible. It was the same in Driveclub and it was universally hated.

I respectfully disagree with a few of these viewpoints. People didn't break the game. The game was broken to begin with, people found out about these 'broken things' and naturally exploited them. But the fault is really on PD for letting the ticket glitch slip through testing.

Secondly, I wonder why a person would enter a stock car in a race specifically for tuned cars? That to me seems like putting the blame on others for your own fault. If a person knows a race is for tuned cars then shouldn't they enter a tuned car? Otherwise a person is just setting themselves up for failure.

Lastly, I wouldn't go as far as to say that car selling is unlikely. PD can still implement it. If PD is worried about the game economy being broken because of the glitch, then they could easily rectify that worry by making it so gifted cars can only be discarded and not sold for money.

Appreciate the feedback.

I take your point about the game being broken already. Maybe it’s a symptom of gaming that people “naturally exploit” these things. Nothing I can do about that. I was just saying that personally I feel that the exploit was against the spirit of our game.

As for tuned races, I intended to point out that folk who have obtained better engines as a result of the exploit will have an advantage over those that have not. Poor wording in my original post.

Your point on restrictive selling is well made and perhaps this would be the way to go.

Take care & stay safe.

I keep running into this one thing where the rain clouds will rush across right up to the track, so I'll pit just as they are coming over. Then when I get back on the circuit the rain clouds suddenly change direction and run parallel to the track without ever crossing. It'll do this for a lap or two until I switch back to slicks and then decide to change back to its original direction and completely flood the place within a few seconds.

It has happened in my last three races with variable weather, almost as if the game is actively trolling now. Sometimes it will split with the track passing right through the middle of a storm without getting a single spot of rain, unless i pass the pits with slicks still on of course.

 

[Madmaz]

why is there no BOP in custom races for cars that are not grouped , like road cars . If i tune a car and make it faster i want to be able to race against cars of similar pace and power, not stock settings. There should be a BOP for road cars or make the random selection cars that are similar to yours, I dont want to fart arouind picking stuff from my garage . I think it makes tuning road cars pointless unless you can use them in Sport mode , which i have no interst in.

Im done with this game now ...shelved. i'll come back to it in 6 months see if its changed.

PD have "broken" their game while trying to add new "content"(cafe menu with collecting cars not tied to any racing).

This "online" game has less than 3% players with 50 races in sport mode since the beginning of March.

 

[Cherryturbo]

Well there only a few reasons that is the case:

a) Unimaginative race selections.
b) BoP not updated. Brake Balance controller still excluded.
c) Matchmaking unfair. Players being put in races where they are simply overwhelmed by higher ranked drivers.
d) Ladder anxiety caused by visible DR/SR.
e) Toxic driving with sportsmanship pretty much disregarded.

Now these things IMHO are all fixable. e) may take quite a while as this appears to be on the increase, encouraged by poor penalty system.

PD have made Sport mode & lobbies feel like an afterthought. Something for the die-hard GT Sport players to do.

It says something that 97% of the player base would rather pit their wits against wobbly AI than enjoy fair, competitive racing with fellow enthusiasts.

/rant ended. Sorry, but the blue touch-paper was lit.

 

[Neris__]

f) Most of the players just like to chill in single player and not bother with sport mode (maybe some of them enjoy lobbies with their friends but not with randoms).

I don t understand why no rollcage in all cars. Pd sure hate drivers healt. They give 1000hp engines but no rollcage.
