update 1.05 - Ensure you follow the AUP when posting

RoadRunner99
Guys any news for the existing online part of the game ?
Someone told that you can expand, up to 180 seconds, the time at the end of the race so that there is more chance for completion. I like that.
Anything else?

Yes, the time limit once someone finishes can be changed.

Also:

- Credits and XP for online races completed.
- When searching for games in the online lobby, there is a 'recommended' check box. Not quite sure what it does. The rest of online seems the same to me.
 
With these seasonal events, are the game's trophies affected such as Gold Standard? Do you have to get gold in these events to get the trophy or are trophies still associated with the original game?

how much XP/Credits do you earn online? How is it distributed?

Confirmed so far:
EDIT: You can copy to another PS3 account, but apparently it is still not accessible. :(

Note: It will never be accessible across ps3 profiles/accounts.

I don't know what monkey came up with creating additional PSN gamer tags for the sake of GTplanet community, but its idiotic. You'll never be able to transfer the saves across accounts, otherwise that would lead to a much BIGGER problem. Thankfully I have a single gamertag and will have only one for many years to come.

I've noticed, while driving a NASCAR on Grand Valley Speedway, that the car got damaged slightly easier and that there are a few architectural changes like signs, road blocks and race marshal boxes added around the track which I'm pretty sure were not in before. Also when drifting/wheel spinning in the tunnels the tyre marks look like white paint on the road when viewed from certain angles (probably the reflection of the sun).

The sign changes might not even be the result of the update, lots of games these days can adjust advertisements on the fly, all you have to do is be connected.
 
I just got $99,000 and over 10k xp for one of the European events on Extreme in b-spec. That was pleasant. I wonder how much Like the Wind pays out now?

HUH? I countered your point, you obviously could not com,e back with anything, again, ALL other games have this, and their Ai bangs into you to, no reason Gt5 can't have it. making excuses for why Gt5 doesnt have a gameplay mechanic other games have had for a long time does make you sound like a fanboy, just sayin. As for tol gear, which you mentioned, you get disqualified immediately, so your point is moot.

That would work out just fine if it applied across the board. But considering that you would not be disqualified for that kind of contact under normal race conditions makes my point. I was just using that as one example of the AI and it's shortcomings.

Considering they're all going to disappear eventually, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they're not required. The last thing we want is for two of the trophies to suddenly become impossible in two weeks time.

Again, all racing games have this, irrelevant. A bump by Ai does NOT damge you much at all. If you crash it does, if you get spun out that much your not winning any race either way. All other racing games have this, no excuse. Ai could use a tweak but doesn't need to for Damage.

Did anybody notice the "Seasonal Events" has an "Event period" of about 2 weeks? looks like every other week we will be getting new seasonal events! GREAT UPDATE!!
Click to expand...

Yep and if they carry on at that rate we will have 125 events in a year, so in a 3 year period we may have nearly half the events of GT4, except with the ones we have done disappearing every 2 weeks. woopee wooo wohooo wow!

Download the update now, but I have a doubt about the AMG Driving School Changes

I had Silver on my Intermediate, hence, not unlocked Nurburgring 24h.
Now, theoretically it should be unlocked, right? Also, will I receive a gift for the 190E?
Click to expand...

I hadn't yet completed any of the AMG events with all silvers yet and the 'Ring opened up for me after the update.
 
Do you earn credits/xp for an arcade race or a practise race?
I've asked this awhile back but I don't think anyone tried it.
Could someone run a quick 1 or 2 lap race to check.

Seems you can have damage on in the mode too.

Any answers appriciated.
 
Wonderful little change I just noticed. Filters Stick when you change tab to tab in your garage as well as after you are out of it completely.
What a nice little change.

the American Championship Indy Event is now 117,000 instead of 98,000.
So I think we are looking at a 20% increase on all Races for Credits.

I'm the same. Will I automatically be awarded the new prize cars?...
I guess I'll find out in 6 minutes.

I have never even played any AMG events and it gave me the Nordshleife tracks.
Everyone gets them now.
