These changes come after the game had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/17\/22983882\/ps5-gran-turismo-7-update-1-0-7-server-outage-hours\">massive outage last week<\/a>, which was the result of an update that also made changes to how players could earn credits by actually playing the game rather than through microtransactions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"quI602\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2022\/03\/25\/gran-turismo-7-an-update-from-polyphony-digital\/\">post on the PlayStation Blog<\/a>, Polyphony president Kazunori Yamauchi apologized for \u201cthe frustration and confusion caused last week with our patch updates which resulted in, not only a server outage but also adjustments to the in-game economy which were made without a clear explanation to our community.\u201d As a \u201cgoodwill gesture,\u201d the company promises to give players \u201ca non-paid credit pack of 1 million\u201d credits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"gEgxBp\"><q>The company wants to \u201creestablish the reward system with greater balance throughout the game\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"jly5If\">The post says that users should see the credits in their accounts \u201cshortly\u201d and that they\u2019ll only be given to people who owned the game before the post was published. While I don\u2019t seem to have gotten mine yet, the deadline for logging in and receiving them is a ways out \u2014  Polyphony says the offer is good until April 25th.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8WJrfF\">The post explains that the changes to the in-game economy were made to \u201cprovide more accurate rewards based on time investment and completion,\u201d something Yamauchi touched on before when talking about the outage. At the time, he said he couldn\u2019t explain any upcoming changes in detail, but Friday\u2019s post seems to be that explanation. <\/p>\n<p id=\"JezSla\">The post describes a patch that\u2019s coming out in the beginning of April, meant to \u201creestablish the reward system with greater balance throughout the game to benefit all players.\u201d After the update, players should notice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"xgY2v0\">Approximately doubled rewards for \u201cthe events in the latter half of the world circuit\u201d<\/li>\n<li id=\"L0Rr5q\">\u201cHigh rewards\u201d for getting all gold and all bronze in the circuit experience<\/li>\n<li id=\"3JG9Uk\">Increased rewards for online races<\/li>\n<li id=\"lehGJP\">Eight new one-hour endurance race events in missions, which will have \u201chigher reward settings<\/li>\n<li id=\"pjBS5s\">A higher cap on how many non-paid credits users could have, up to 100 million from 20 million<\/li>\n<li id=\"TsUWdq\">More used and legend cars being sold at a time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<aside id=\"kZ7MCG\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"Du3mql\">The post also outlines that will be coming in the \u201cnear-term\u201d \u2014 though it doesn\u2019t specify a date for these changes or more details. Those changes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"gVKyj0\">Increased payout value of limited-time rewards<\/li>\n<li id=\"h68aL5\">More additions to world circuit events<\/li>\n<li id=\"Fba1b8\">Endurance races are being added to missions, including 24-hour races<\/li>\n<li id=\"e2lCE5\">Online time trials are being added, with rewards being given \u201caccording to the player\u2019s difference with the top ranked time\u201d<\/li>\n<li id=\"EvaGH3\">Players will be able to sell their cars (consider your days numbered, 1965 Mini Cooper)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"uEQMFt\">From the looks of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/granturismo\/comments\/tnh14h\/gran_turismo_7_an_update_from_polyphony_digital\/\"><em>Gran Turismo<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PS5\/comments\/tnh0p7\/gran_turismo_7_an_update_from_polyphony_digital\/\">PS5<\/a> subreddits, users generally seem happy with the changes, especially the fact that you can sell your cars (though there are some questions about whether you\u2019ll be able to sell gifted cars and whether you\u2019ll get GameStop prices for them). One big bugbear that remains unaddressed, though, is the game\u2019s reliance on internet connectivity to function. Last week\u2019s server maintenance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/18\/22984770\/gran-turismo-7-down-outage-back-online\">put the game into offline mode for over a day<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/17\/22983882\/ps5-gran-turismo-7-update-1-0-7-server-outage-hours\">severely limited<\/a> how you could play it. <\/p>\n<p id=\"gBWXHw\">Given that Friday\u2019s post refers to <em>GT7<\/em> as a \u201clive service,\u201d it doesn\u2019t seem like we should hold our breath for any changes that would make the game more offline-focused. Still, the updates that we know we\u2019ll be getting are exciting, both in terms of making the game more enjoyable and in adding new (if grueling) experiences to it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/25\/22996282\/gran-turismo-7-polyphony-digital-grind-credits-changes-sell-cars-endurance\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/25\/22996282\/gran-turismo-7-polyphony-digital-grind-credits-changes-sell-cars-endurance<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Gran Turismo 7 developer Polyphony Digital is apologizing for the changes recently introduced to the game\u2019s economy and is promising improvements, along with a million free credits.
