It was seamless while I was in yesterday, it'll be worth the wait when it's up and running properly.
Are you trolling?

I don't know, it's already deleted. It was just so frustrating not being able to use the main draw of the game with no ETA for a fix and being locked out of content I could use for single-player for not being able to join a club. I enjoyed what I played but I wasn't getting my money's worth at all. I'll try the PS+ Edition when it comes out and if things are better then I'll consider getting the full game again.

I hope its up soon, if they can get it up today I think people will forget about it soon enough but if its like this for the weekend.... thats not good.
It's obviously an oversight. Having a category for factory colors, but having one color is preposterous when manufacturers do have a set of factory colors for each vehicle, year by year. Having to erase a livery slot to get another color is just silly.
Too bad, would have been interesting to know.
There's going to be a lot of UK people joining tonight as well. I really hope EVO can get this working before the weekend starts :/

Circle for me, just a thumb roll away.
Yeah, it needs to be working this weekend or people are just going to give up and no amount of positive talk after will bring them back.

I don't remember a single racing game where I could customize my car without going to the "garage" I have to do it in Forza Horizon 2, I had to do it in Gran Turismo 5 and 6. And I have to do it in Driveclub. I don't understand why it's confusing to people.
There's a paint selection screen when you select a car, that doesn't let you choose more than one color. That's why it's confusing.
I think the complaint would be gone if they added another layer of menu. When you hit dpad down on the Manufacturer's color it would give a palette and you select the manufacturer color you like from 30 preset colors or whatever.
It's not always obvious to developers which things blow up and become very important to people.
For those of you who were asking for tips on drifting, this might help someone.
Just played the first drift event where they give you the m235i and was averaging 3500 score.
I was using the cockpit cam. I tried the exterior far cam and in 2 races I got almost 7000 each. I found it easier to read the corner while trying to drift as opposed to the cockpit cam. Might be just me.
That and practice.
Hope this helps

I'm aware. I mean I wish they put it on the forefront so that less intelligent people would stop being unable to find it and blaming the game for not having it.
Why should i? it's in the game you can make your car look different with a plethora of different colors etc.
Yeah, but isn't that exactly what the guy you quoted was saying?

All they have to do is move the paint selection thing to be the first menu after choosing your car. Then pop up the screen with the presets.
He knows that, his saying it's hiding within many layers. I've also seen people in it her forums complain about only having a single color lol
Circle, makes it easier to use
Drifts i go chase cam, the marrussia is an annoying car to drift!
I can't believe how good this game looks seriously!
On some tracks I feel like i'm actually driving down a country road in real life and getting that feeling of just gunning it down the straight. The devs get that feeling just right. And then you've got the lighting, the reproduction of the colour palette. So good.

You misread his post. He was complaining about the customization being too hidden within the menus, that's why a lot of people don't know it exists.

Not sure if Microsft is having a dig, but i just received an email inviting me to 'enjoy a weekend of non-stop multiplayer gaming'
With half the user base of the PS4 their servers shouldn't have any problems.
EDIT:
GIVE ME MY DAMN ONLINE MULTIPLAYER NOW!
Lan Dong Mik
And why would I want them?
Fucking seriously? Servers are still not up? This is some bullllllshit. I love the game but man this is starting to get embarrassing. I'm basically all done with SP and I was hoping the sp stuff I did would carry over to the club I end up joining so I would unlock new cars with the club lvl. So fucking frustrating. With the UK about to go live im not sure we'll even have mp by the weekend. I'm losing hope

Ehm why does my driveclub not look like in the trailers? Where are the graphical wows?
Am I the only one who think the graphics look really mediocre at best? The trees are ugly as hell, shadows are poping up everywhere at the course. And the roof of the car is much more aliased than I ever saw in a video.

I hope it's at least a fun game. Will try it.

Well no it doesn't look mediocre when driving. But aliassing is the killer of everything nice. Unimmersive hooligans.
The game is ridiculously addictive.

They're certainly better than mediocre but you are right about the aliasing and shadows. The preview videos had significantly better looking graphics all-around.
A lot of reviews aren't mentioning this but it's on almost every page in this thread.
Easily the best looking racer I've ever seen. I've found Norway and Canada to be particularly striking. Do some time trials and play with the time of day to see for yourself. Too often the devs chose to use lighting conditions that aren't exactly flattering in the tour portion.

Did you call 1-855-999-7669 (SONY) for a refund? Did it really take 3 calls and getting transferred to a supervisor?
I'm sort of wanting to get a refund now, not on the money spent but just on the principle of releasing a game where online play hasn't worked now for 4 days. Thats a bit ridiculous. I had 50% off PSN credit though so spending an hour on the phone isn't something I want to do for essentially $25, especially arguing with someone and getting the run around.

Need a club. Must unlock level one car. Lost all hope. Send help.
Zombie James just had a refund. He said it was easier than he thought and based on the post times it didn't seem to take long either.

In an effort to look on the bright side of the PSN server issues... just think, we will all be pretty damn good at the game (thanks to our extensive time spent playing the Tour) by the time we get to go head to head online, so the races should be more challenging/thrilling/professional and less bumper-car'esq.

Any impressions on the Tour Mode. I don't have PS+ so it's pretty much all I'm going to play. Pick race, earn fame, unlock cars is the gist of it?
Only Thrustmaster wheels work with the game. Logitech and Fanatec don't. Therefore there are only a wheels available, the T80, T100, T300 and T500. The good ones, the T300 and T500 are around $500-600 so its not exactly impulse buying territory.
For what its worth, the game is a lot of fun with the dualshock controller due to the arcade feel.
Considering I haven't been able to connect once, I don't think the "potential disconnect" issue is going to effect me.

Lol at that Facebook post as if anyone can actually play online anyway. Anyway, will the times we set offline in tour upload to the leaderboads in the event they someday are online?

There are race, drift, time trial, and championship events. Within those categories, given races have challenges like, beat a sector time, beat a lap time, maintain a driving line, do a clean lap, etc, that help you earn even more fame.
On the single player side you can also set up your own events on any track, at any time of day, with various lighting conditions (sun,cloudy,overcast,stormy). Similarly to the Tour, these can be race, drift, and time trial events. You also earn fame for custom events you set up, though in my experience, you do not earn as much fame as you do in the Tour.

Pretty much. Start with slowish cars with fairly easy challenges. Pick drift, race, time trial. Level up. Unlock a new car. Advance to harder races and different places. Repeat.

Isn't that when the game is releasing in the UK?
Oh boy...
Edit: Oh wait it was always the 10th for the Uk right? Not today?
That...is an interesting Tweet. What exactly happened with the PS+ Edition?
