Damn... I didn't realize you could get a gold in the Bronze reward packs. On a related note... I have now completed Calgary, Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, and Winnipeg... For the most part I haven't got shit from the reward packs, or at least no better players to even put in my roster. It's really shitty that in these reward packs you'll get 2 players (maybe 3), 1 contract, 2 consumables, and the rest of jerseys and logos.

Yeah, for as barebones as NHL 15 is...I still feel like the menus are incredibly clunky. Like just navigating to the auction house to do a search is annoying as hell.
Press A for Auction House.
Press A for Buy Item.
Press A for Advanced Search.
Press A for League.
Press A for Team.
Press A for Buy Now Price.
Press A for Minimum/Maximum.
It's incredible they couldn't just have a left right scoll option for most of these and keep them on the same "page". Having a separate thing load for each of them is ridiculous.
Oh, and the videos on the main menu to "get coins for HUT" don't ever give me coins either. I actually can't hear any sound in that Honda video, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But yeah...I missed out on completing the France collection last night because it didn't give me my coins and I didn't have enough to buy the last jersey. So, that was annoying.
Yeah. If it starts breaking down that way, I'll probably be out much quicker. That type of stuff really just makes the mode come off as a ploy to get you to spend more money. I remember my favorite thing about Ultimate Team in Madden 12 was when you'd complete a collection, you'd get a special edition of that team's best player or a legendary player or something (actually, I think you got a coin reward AND that card...which really shows you how generous things used to be).
That's how they should do it. If I complete the Sabres collection, I should get a 98 ovr Dominik Hasek or something. Or complete the Canucks collection and get a 97 ovr Pavel Bure. And make it where you can ONLY get those players from completing those collections.
To me, if they increased the appeal of completing collections, it would give people MORE incentive to buy packs. I mean, yeah...some of the collections will give you like 10 gold packs...and that's ok, I guess...if you just want to sell those cards and get coins back. But I would have a much bigger sense of accomplishment by adding elite/legendary players to my team, that when people saw I had them, they'd know I've completed collections. It's like a badge of honor, and would make the mode way more interesting, in my opinion.

Hell, I'd be happy if they just gave you a legitimate shot at getting top players... Say 8 players with one guy that is at least 85 or better. I'd say that so far with the 5 teams I completed which I think is roughly 24 reward packs (give or take a couple) of 8 gold/4 rare I have maybe got 4 guys over 85 and nothing over 87.
Legendary players that way would be awesome though,

Well, that's the shitty thing about it. It's like they don't want to recognize that completing a 25+ card collection takes a decent amount of time, work and/or money already. It's either worth rewarding or it's not. Just giving you packs is kind of a BS middle ground where it COULD be good...or it could be a waste of your time. Just define the damn collections and rewards. Have easy collections give you small rewards and difficult collections give larger rewards. It's like they want the entire game to just be one giant ass slot machine.
And yes...I realize the irony of those last three words when describing this series, lol.

Yup. It says "0 packs". According to that link I posted, it's because it's not triggering the "completed" banner...which is what releases the pack. I just recorded a video of it (at least that's one nice thing...I can now show EA how
ing stupid they are), and I'll post a link in a couple minutes.

Man, I'm really glad I have a 3 month return window on this game. If I was limited to GameStop's usual 7 day return policy, this thing would be going back. I don't know how you take so many things out of the game so your "focus" can be on making a few things REALLY good...and then still have this many problems.
This HUT reward issue almost seems exactly like Madden's desync issue. It's definitely prominent. But it's not affecting all people all the time. Because of that, it seems like they have no idea what is causing it. They've got suggestion threads telling people to remove cards from the collection and re-add them (which is harder this year since there's no trade pile). Then, they're telling people to "check for duplicates"...which is ridiculous and is basically an "are you an idiot?" suggestion.
And on top of that, there's a thread suggesting people open up like 7 ports on their router, lol. If I can connect to EA servers...and I can play a game...and I can log onto HUT...it should be working. If there's any leeway for some half-working, sort of connected, gray area, then it's going to be damn near impossible to figure out the problem.
What's even worse is I guess there are actually people who bought the Ultimate Edition who aren't even getting their packs because of this problem. It's just crazy that this level of work doesn't have consequences.

I have no collections done but I jumped into that glitch where ALL the packs were 600 coins. Got quite a few players out if which most went to the Auction and I kept the goalies as I got Halak and Somebody else who is a 87. Also, I saw that there is a bronze card that has about 15 training slots that bump the player up to a 99. Forget who it is.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying to set up though. I was on right when they released the update, so I was kind of right in the middle of everybody trying to figure out how the hell to get it to work, lol. Here's what I figured out.
1. Set DK2 to Extended and make it your Primary monitor.
2. Use Shift+Win+left/right arrows to move all your goodies back to your main monitor (Logitech profiler, Steam client, etc).
3. Launch Assetto Corsa
4. Confirm that menu is loading up on your DK2. Once it does, use Shift+Win+left/right arrows to move the menu back to your main monitor. This will put the menu in windowed mode, but you can just double click the bar at the top to make it fullscreen again.
5. Go into the Assetto Corsa video settings. Choose "Oculus Rift" as your rendering mode. Change your resolution to 1920x1080 75hz (mine actually said 74hz for some reason, but whatever)
6. Lower any graphical settings that you think you need to. Remember, better to have lower visuals than a choppy framerate.
7. Launch race.
Race should load up on your DK2, and you can drive immediately. This threw me off at first because in the past you had to click the "Begin Race" icon or whatever. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Just shift and go. At least that's how it works in practice anyway. Haven't tried a real race yet.
Recenter view = Control + Space (it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use Xpadder or something to map this to a button on your wheel)
Using this method, I had very smooth head tracking and full positional tracking on a 650TI.
Good luck.
EDIT - You may also want to change the FOV to pull the view out a bit so everything doesn't look so big/close. For me, the FOV slider in the menu was locked at 56 (not sure why). But you can edit the file manually in these locations (not sure why there are two of them...but might as well do both).
Steam > SteamApps > common > assettocorsa > cfg > camera_onboard.ini
Documents > Assetto Corsa > cfg > camera_onboard.ini
The line that says "FOV=56", change to 90 or above (whatever feels comfortable to you).
Some people are saying this doesn't do anything and that Oculus mode changes the FOV anyway. I haven't done a screenshot comparison to test it...but it's something to try if the default view bothers you.

I know. I was kind of hoping I'd figure something out with the collections before sending back your cards that I would just need back again anyway. But you know...logic...EA...
I've cleared out my entire National team collection by offering them as trades in auctions that were about to expire. So, the entire collection was empty. Then, I put them back...still no banner. Just broken shit.
I mean, if you need those cards back in a hurry, of course, I'll send them back your way. It just seemed somewhat pointless right now.

I would say just hold them until they figure out what the hell is going on. I've got the Italy ones just sitting in my collection now doing nothing. It's weird that the game has been out over a month, and yet, an announcement was just made on the EA forums about this yesterday. It's like it was waiting on me to
up, lol. Sometimes, you just can't win.

Didn't wnat to spoil myself watching this before I got to that part, haha. I'm well past it now though. That's pretty hilarious. It's weird that it registered him pressing the button, but didn't trigger the animation...and when the game finally "took over", he was so far away it just dragged the character outside the ship, lol. Pretty damn funny to see the interaction play out in the middle of space though.
For more Alien hijinx, for anybody who doesn't mind spoiling how the xenomorph hunts, or if you've gotten beyond the medbay section, Markiplier actually has a hilarious time with it in this video. Some of the stuff that happens to him is so perfect, you'd swear it was scripted. Jump to 22:00 and watch the game troll him over and over again for about 10-15 minutes. So funny.

I guess probably because it's Unity/engine related, but it's so weird how some games can just lauinch directly to the rift, while other, you have to jump through so many hoops.

Yeah, I don't know how Oculus came up with that system but it does seem to be really complicated considering how many games just ignore it in favor of the "2nd monitor" method...which makes it even more strange that apparently GRID Autosport uses Direct To Rift without any problems.
One really encouraging thing about Assetto though is how smooth the headtracking is. It gives me hope that games just need to be optimized better, and not need monstrous PC's to work well in VR.
Aseetto also had another update today because I guess the Steam version was missing a file to make the stereoscopic 3d and IPD display properly. I tried it out earlier and it looks a lot better than it did yesterday.
And I have to say, the new hillclimb track is fun as hell. Definitely recommend that one in either the X-bow or the Exige Roadster. Really awesome.

I found the post they made on it yesterday:
So, unless OTP got submitted and passed on its own, but they still have the rest of the patch to review, this is confusing. Either way, two weeks still gives them till the end of October, which is what most people figured it would be anyway.

Alan, just a heads up about Borderlands if you haven't gotten much farther, there is a side quest to donate 50 guns to a group and they have to be white rarity so you might start saving now. There is a mailbox you have to drop them in and I only had 3 because I had just sold a bunch of them.

The Crew is still scheduled to come out on 12/2...but we'll see how things go with that game. Still reading rumblings about microtransactions, framerates, and other things. And there's been no mention of DK2 support. The good thing is, it comes out after Black Friday, so if a good Horizon 2 sale pops up before then, that'll make for an easy decision.

Tell me again why they couldn't have just delayed the game a month? Even now, there's hardly anything to do that actually works.

Yeah, it's been on my "pick up eventually" list for a while. It's been cheaper though (Steam and Amazon both had it for $3.74 over the summer)...and I would imagine it will be again during the winter sales.
True but it's supposed to increase in price (to 19.99) when the mulitplayer portion launches.
