Is there anyway I can change my profile name without having to create a new one and start from scratch again, stupidly I put an extra 'r' in and never spotted it.

P - Problem
I - In
C - Chair
N - Not
I - In
C - Computer

Just living up to my handle

I'd like to join the club when server's and club size permits.

GTAMADDOG is my ingame name although I'll probably just search for the club.

Be a bit hard considering they took the clubs offline once again.

Ok so it looks like clubs are going to be offline again for a few more days, great.

Also i propose the thread title gets changed to Offical TDU2 or Offical Test Drive Unlimited 2, wonder if a passing mod will spot this at all.

So what's the general opinion of this game? Better than the first or not worth it?

Right, if you enjoy cars you will like it, if you prefer simulations and perfect handling its not for you.

In general, in its current state, it has something for everyone and is not a truly dedicated sim nor an arcade racer, this is where all the slamming comes from, as its neither a sim or an arcade racer, theres elements of both incorporated into a social type thing, with the casino - clubs when they work and so on, in my opinion its a Step up from TDU1 but as was the case in TDU1 it needs some finishing touches to make it perfect.
Online connectivity has also improved in the last patch and the recent addition of new servers, although you get the odd drop out but doesnt last long before it plonks you right back into it. This of course is my opinion and most peoples wont agree with it, but hey.

Oh and also, TDU1 didnt get that much in the way of fixing, we had what 1 maybe 2 patches and 1 dlc pack, This time however, they are really pulling all the strings to work out things as fast as they can, which i appreciate Eden for doing (atari is the publisher)

Good to hear they're quickly fixing things, might pick this up later in the week then as I loved the first, but a few little things let it down. Does anybody know if you can still get Hardcore mode in this one?

Nope no such thing, as i said, its neither a sim or arcade racers its a bit of both, there is a "Hardcore" driving aid setting, but to be honest does little to no difference. Ive got a sealed copy sitting here

It's not about being evil but if he's away we may as well get active player in to help upgrade the club so we have more spaces.

Have you got all licences? I've not started racing on hawaii yet so don't know. Maybe you need to level up?

would you actually bother with that because of 2 days ?

i don't really mind getting out of the club and getting some other guy with more money to actually help get the club to 2nd level so more of us can join.. since im a bit broke atm after the casino spree lol.

No honestly i think hes jesting - Anyway i doubt the clubs will be back online for any real time, as some idiots will always find a way to break the codes. Easiest way at the moment to cruise with any of us, is to arrange a certain spot on either map, with not many people around, all go to that spot, with any luck will be put in the same cluster - add to friends if it works - then link and join to 1 person of 8, in theory that would work a lot easier.
