Tours being a little easier wouldn't really hurt imho - not as long as player created challenges are a thing. There's room there to please both novices and the hardcore alike, and DC was always about both groups.
Speaking of which: Is there a multiplayer mode in DC that's purely about accumulating the best overall score?
The game has time trials and races where you want to get the fastest time, and drift events focusing purely on selected drift zones and speed zones, but is there any event right now or planned that mixes both in the same event?
Basically, imagine a time trial where its about accumulating score by all means rather than either getting the fastest time or the best drift - but something that allows the players to combine both elements in their runs? So you'd want to try and set a fast time, but you'd also want to drift and get clean sector and precision sector awards.
Seems like the perfect thing for DriveClub and could make a nice addition to the existing modes. It might need its own scoring system though, to make sure that drifting is balanced against speed and precision.

This would be a great solution! That way everyone wins, literally.
I hope Rushy sees this.
Awesome, thanks. I love the functionality but the way they appear on track, especially in the dark is really bad.
Games shouldn't get easier the further you progress. There are two types of people that have the DLC, the fans and the trophy hunters. Trophies should be earnt not handed.
That said, it is sad the see the current MP trophies. There should've been a like "Compete in 100 Solo Challenges" and " Compete in 100 Club Challenges" or one's for 100 Drift Challenges and 100 Time Trials, they would've certainly improved the social aspect. The current few trophies are just boostable by ppl looking to offhand the game.

It's crazy that only 6% of people with the game have sent a challenge.
https://twitter.com/Rushy33/status/558661809457344513
I mean, at the very least make it adjustable. PLEASE. The sense of reward from completing some of the harder races in this game is unmatched by any other racer I've ever played.
Nooooooo! I thought the new Tours were perfect in difficulty. Can't they just make it so you need less stars to advance, but keep the same difficulty?
6% of 1 million unique users is still 60k though. ;-)

I like to think Rushy has a monitor in his home that just displays this thread 24/7 and autorefreshes every 2 minutes

Lmao, I wouldn't be surprised. He's one dedicated dude.
Actually, having just looked - where? I'm trying to join random games via the event browser, I don't see any way to turn face-offs off. There needs to be one though because they're far too obstructive.

I have everything set to 0%. I don't think you can remove the actual face-off start and finish checkered strips that appear on the track.

It's pretty awesome how often we actually see him in here talkin' with us and getting feedback, or tweeting about stuff we put up. There hasn't been a game director that I know of who's stayed in touch with the community this much.
Cheers to Rushy.
Hey I'd be fine if they actually did appear on the track, but the real problem one is that FUCKING GIANT YELLOW BANNER which makes seeing anything behind it in the dark completely impossible. It needs to be changed or made optional, surprised nobody in testing realised what a problem it is when these appear in front of corners, which is often.

I think you can turn them off in the time trial settings, don't know about challenges.
I've played this game a lot (55M fame) and I can't say I've ever thought the banners were in the way... Hmm could be because I use bumper can tho thinking about it!

Maybe that's the one I was thinking of.
I'm chase cam, they're horrendous in that, right across the middle of the screen - even in the day it's not ideal but at night - you're blind until the banner is gone. The drift and cornering ones are just fine, it's just the speed tests which prevent driving.

You're not alone, but I wouldn't expect too much response, whenever I've posted about anything similar it just gets lost in the hyperbolic quagmire of gushing posts about the way the game looks!!!
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I still try to do what I can though. I scored 1st place Heavy Precipitation/first-japan track drift event with the M235i, 4200 score I think, and I only put in maybe 3 hours into this game.

Will the Season Pass give me all current and future DLC?
This indicates that people that buy the season pass are also buying other dlc.

Lol yep I've done that too!
I've thought the same thing myself, but I guess that's how drifts are supposed to work having the speed sections in between each zone.
Didn't EA get exclusivity for LaFerrari when they released that DLC pack for NFS Rivals? I felt like I read that somewhere... Could be wrong.
It is also only restricted to online events for some weird reason. They need one we can use for tour modes as well.
Same!
EDIT: I will be extremely pissed off if they're deciding to make this game easier. That would be the worst thing possible for this game. It's such a shame that developers are always compromising their values to placate the masses who aren't bothered to learn the game properly. It is frankly sickening.
I think Microsoft was rumored to lock some exclusivity deal but it was only for a bit. Rivals DLC was already in the can when the exclusivity deal was to end.
I hope they're not tweaking the difficulty, it's one of the few racing games where the challenge adds to the experience.

Dumb question on the game. How much of the social, leaderboardy stuff is tied to clubs? Are there kind of "standard" leaderboards and whatnot if you're not in a club?
I've held off on buying this since there is theoretically a demo coming someday and I'd really prefer to try the game before buying it given its somewhat shaky reception, but I'm dying for a racing game on my PS4, and right now with Best Buy GCU it can be had for about $32, so...

Can we please get the ability to participate in club challenges, in a private lobby, with my club mates and/or friends in other clubs, in the same session?
Similar to how the multiplayer time trials work now where other players are ghosted so as to not hit each other, as well as have each player's best time listed on the screen somewhere.
I've tweeted the suggestion to multiple people but have never heard back. It would be amazing, trust me!

Got the Season Pass...are the items supposed to auto download? Looks like I have to "claim" each one? They show up as not installed, but I see "download" instead of price. I thought PS4 auto-downloaded DLC you own but maybe I'm wrong?
To be clear, everything downloaded fine at no extra change, just kinda thought/hoped it was more automatic than it really was.

Yeah you have do "download" each DLC manually, but you can do that in the Store Section in the game, so it's not a big deal.
..which is also why it shows that people "also bought" every single DLC, since a download counts as a purchase, you even get a "Thank you for your purchase" mail.

Welcome me to the Season Pass Holder's Elite Club.
Wait, we do get a commemorative plaque, right?!

I was fortunate as the last race in the Elements Championship was that of a time trial I was trying to 3 Star only the other day so had memorized so 1st came easy.
The lykan one? Same here. Probably wouldn't of been able to do it without doing that beforehand.
Just takes a lot of repetition. I find beginning my drift before the zone starts is also quite beneficial.
Multi TT is close to perfect for me. Just a few things though. Yes to the finish your current lap when the timer runs out, but there is one problem with that, what happens if you get a twat who parks up on the side of the road?
I'm in the keeping the dynamic weather camp (I'm a massive F1 fan and seeing this during quali always get my juices flowing).
I'd like player levels displayed next to their names rather than having to click on their names to reveal their details.
Just as an aside, in multi player races I'd like to see fastest lap breakdowns during the end results screen.

It's here.
I also have the steelbook edition - bought it in December for a lower price than standard edition.
Btw have you noticed that it's harder to pull the disc from the steelbook case (the part holding the disc isn't flexible)? I'm afraid of breaking it so I ended up leaving the steelbook on a display just for show and I store the disc in a standard dvd case.Yup, that's the one, took me quite a few attempts too.

Whenever I'm on the Japan tracks, the image looks really washed out in the two cockpit views. Anybody else notice this?

It's a known problem, Rushy say's they've already found the solution and the fix will be in the next update.

With regards to the DLC difficulty, it's a bit tricky for Evo as what they release has to be tough enough not to be a walkover for the guys who've been playing for months, yet still accessible for the recently converted. As has been said many times above, the easiest way to do this has to be via the stars - keep the 3rd star tough to obtain but lower the number of stars required to access the different tour sections.
During a race with 3 clubmates we had a bug where the weather was different for 1 of us - he started with heavy snow and ended clear whilst it was opposite for the rest of us - is this what you mean? I've never seen it since though.
Yep this is the way to do it - Do it like F1 which allows you to complete the lap if you've crossed the line before the time runs out, but limit the time allowed.
Yup I'm with you on these putty, I'd also like to see the club badge on results screens too (at the mo it only appears on team race events).

Not overly so, the disc-holding-bit is definitely stiffer than a normal case though. I haven't felt the need to transfer the disc to a less godlike case just yet!
I paid just a little bit over the price of a regular copy for my steelbook, seeing the new Japan tracks tipped me over the edge!

Totally agree, i'm not very good at all but the challenge is spot on and when I do complete whatever it is i set out to do the feeling of accomplishment is fantastic, unlike a lot of other games where things get handed to you on a silver platter!
That's just because once you purchase the Season Pass the paid DLCs become free but you still have to manually click on them to activate them.
