I sometimes get Kudos for car gifts, sometimes I don’t.
What I think happens is I only get it if a gift is accepted while I am online. So if 10 are accepted while I’m playing I get the Kudos. If I switch the thing off or it disconnects by itself then I get messages of thanks - but no Kudos.
Is this a known thing? Do I have it right? Am I missing something? Does it matter anyway, ie, is Kudos useful for something or is it going to be useful at some point?
It’s only car gifts, realistically, that are giving me Kudos. Yeah, I have a few (4) tunes but they’re boring 999 ones and I have one blueprint with a silly name.
I think you receive Kudos when your gifted car is received opposed to sent. The fact you receive Kudos for gifting makes me not care for Kudos at all. Kudos should be awarded for clean driving and nothing else. Players can already send thanks to people that gift them cars so doubling up on Kudos there is pointless imo. Would be better to just track gifted cars as a stat if this isn’t done so already.
I’ve done a bit of tracking and at present believe that kudos is not added if the gifted car is picked up (or thank-you message sent) while racing. In free-roam or not playing at all the kudos increases.
I’ve sent 12-14 cars, last 2 were a D-type Jag, and a 917 LH. I have gotten less than 1 thanks per car, the last 2 I received 1 total.
Needless to say, I’m no longer gifting. The gifting makes no sense, I have friends that have never gotten gifts sent to groups that included them.
Blueprint likes works, but is greater than the Kudos I have. Also, I have more likes on my Bentley event than plays. Hard to believe, but seems broken.
Maybe not. I kind of wondered how a blueprint I did last (?) week had several times more likes than plays. Then it popped the daily challenge reward it was geared to deliver right at the start of the race so really there was no reason to play it. I did anyway, because why not, it was short. But I think a lot of people must have noticed they got the challenge done and couldn’t be bothered to play it.
It’s been out nearly 2 1/2 months and this feature was something that was spoke about pre-release, if there was any meaningful point to kudos a use for them, some reward to work towards or even just some accolades related to them like davejc mentioned would have been in at release.
Exactly, if they had meant it to be worth something it would have been implemented at the start, you would at least expect a accolade or two for reaching a certain level of kudos and maybe some link expressions to.
Kudos is exactly like Reddit karma. It’s a number based on how many ‘likes’ you get in game but isn’t 1:1. Just like Reddit it is utterly useful, however at least on Reddit your karma is displayed to a select few who view your profile.
I disagree. Karma on Reddit is awarded for people who agree or like your comment/post. Kudos is automatically given in game for gifting a car. Ive accepted cars gifted to me that I haven’t like. But I have never liked a post on Reddit that I didn’t like.
Are you sure ? I should have a lot more Karma then I think. I don’t think just “gifting” a car gets you Karma. At least it shouldn’t, it’s bad enough if the polluters are gaming the system hoping for likes for giving away garbage cars in the “Gift” scam. If they actually GET karma for doing it (even if Karma is worthless and pointless and always is) this game is a bigger joke than I realized.
I don’t know the specifics of karma but we know it’s awarded off the back of gifting cars. What the specifics are though who really cares.
I disagree that the game is a joke but it is currently lack luster in many areas that could be easily improved. Whether they get improved or not only time will tell.
That’s where most of mine (not that I have tons) came from. Those first two, well the first one mostly. I’ve not heard of the last one. How does that work ?
