Extra credits

[Wallu]

Seems I got about 1 million extra credits somewhere. I don´t want it. I´d rather grind for my cars.

Or is there some kind of extra earning possibility hidden. I did win the first stage of career´s championship (the whole season that is), but that should only give you 200 000 or something like that. I also got the achievement for earning 1 million in total, but hopefully that won´t give you extra million with it..?

Anybody else have the same thing happened to you?

I know the rewards for the dailies were given out a few mins ago - did you do them? if so, that is were your money come from.

It's compensation from Codies for the early adopters issues the past few days.

Ok, that explains it. Thanks!

Just as I said I´d rather grind for my money, so I think I´ll just buy some car and sell it on for 0 credits then...

Yeah same got 1 million credits, spend it all in ingeneers... Let me earn my money !!!

[Wallu]

I had to purchase cars and sell them to get to the same sum I had before. Thought the cars were sold for 0 credits, but it was only the card you got with the pre-purchase. Wish there would be an option to turn down these kinds of extra money.

Hmmm... not to sound ungrateful for any efforts to make up for any current issues, but I'd rather CM focus on fixing them instead of expending any effort giving out "compensation".

Or if they must, at least pop up a box & ask us if we want it first.

I don't understand the thinking behind it. It's not an annoyance or grind to earn in-game currency... that's part of the experience & enjoyment of playing the game & making your own progress, isn't it?

It's similar to the assumption that all Deluxe buyers want the auto-unlocked cars/upgrades. At least I could disable those DLCs before launching the game.

Some sort of promise of an extra livery/cosmetic award or similar, at some point in the future might have been more of an appropriate "thank you for your patience".

Anyway... thankfully it sounds like I can "waste" the free cash away somehow in car trades?

[Malyngo]

I totally welcome this money. I am not much of a grinder, if it starts to feel like work, I start to lose interest.

From what I have seen, that kind of money still can be spent pretty fast, so I still have to think about what I want to get.

I mean, it is something like 4 of the high end cars, or buying 4 engineer slots (assuming they all cost like 240k like the 3rd slot)

[YorkyPudsy]

Ah ok, so it doesn't sound too bad then. I'm hesitant to spend time on the game till some of these fixes come through, so I'm not clued in on how far 1mil would stretch.

An option to accept/decline would still have been nice though.

I tend to think if any game becomes a grind to the extent that giving out free currency/XP/similar is seen as a "thank you", then it probably has poor balancing of rewards/progression. Or, more likely these days, it's part of a plan to sell in-game currency (or other similar progression) for real-world cash. { EDIT: of course, this isn't that type of game. I'm just speaking in general of games. }

[Mr Deanster]

Yeah I spent most of mine on the engineers, especially the Chief. I am pretty bad at these games so I need all the get on track stuff I can get. XD

[the_ruthless]

I feel that it is good Codies acknowledge problems/hardships/letdowns and communicate with the masses and try to make it good somehow. Also, those 1,000,000 Cr is quick to spend on stuff, so I won't complain. :) Making my team a bit better, yeah, and... perhaps I'll buy that Datsun now.

[Berg DK 81]

I was already earning way too much money. Only thing to spend money on is upgrades that make the game even less realistic.
How the hell did D4 have a more realistic career mode?

[LokiD1978]

Lol cm. Can't do anything right it seems even when they doing something nice. Precious world eh

[Hoksu]

Is it possible to not have the extra money? Not sure why Codies are so desperately not allowing players to play the game. Early unlocks, upgraded starter cars, extra credits, what is even the point of having a progression system if they don't allow us to use it?

Also as compensation it means absolutely nothing, seeing as in-game money costs Codies absolutely nothing. Compensation would be something like free DLC.
