Quote ( Tibor Szuromi @ December 29th 2017,21:59:52 ) No need for meteorology. (There is no such mistake.)
weather only to Q1 and Q2.
And random weather to start and all race. No more "special" races.

I will just say that he has not done so again. Pity! So now we expect rain with odds of 1-3%? Yes. Once every 62 seasons.
I am thinking of quitting as I am not happy with the percentage of 62(seasons) x 17(races)= 1054 races total that have normal weather. I prefer to stick my head into tonight's race that cost me the "heavy duty" achievement.
Grow up people. If what you say is correct (never seen this before) then it's 1 / 1050 races.
Andrea,sorry for quoting you. Many people made the same comment. It was just luck to quote your comment and not someone else That's not correct for a few reasons: 1) There haven't been 1054 races with this weather forecast. 2) Worst (or best, depending on how you read it) case scenario: 4% chance it stops raining after 30 minutes, 8% change it stays dry in second half hour. Meaning a total of 0,32% chance of this weather happening. And if you include the 3rd half hour then it's even 0,05% chance

This race was the last step to be retired.

Quote ( Mikie Shaw @ December 29th 2017,22:22:42 ) Everyone racing today had the same probability
Rookie and amateur, yes. Above not for simple reason.

Well if a weatherman cannot predict the weather 30 minutes in advance, he should be unemployed. The way driver energy affects a driver is unrealistic and now the reliability of weather forecasts. I am very quickly losing my interest in the game.

Except it isn't. There is no probability for the rain stopping. That only the probability of it starting. People just presume with it being that high that it should rain all quarter

I have to admit... I was very very lucky today ending in P2 with 7litres of fuel left in the tank I pushed maximum today to retain Pro for first time.... spend 60Mill for this race alone. I set wait to pit on 7 laps... (as I expected rain to stop late in race..) But I also made sure to put some fuel in 3rd and 4th stop..
this time 68litres... was enough for me (pure luck, but thought about it as a manager)
in Racing all is possible ...

Bottom line: it can happen. I would gladly accept more reality and unpredictable weather and less "not feeling well in his helmet" and other weird pistops and tech. problems.

"...What took us four years to understand is that <b>luck-based game mechanics are not necessary to achieve excitement, balance, or consolement.</b> All of these objectives are reachable through other means, without the player frustration or toxic community behaviour that inevitably arises in games featuring a high amount of randomness. In a nutshell, we've concluded that<b> it's possible to design a compelling competitive game without luck</b>. Possible. Not easy..."

I always thought it was the chance of starting or stopping (instead of the actual chance of rain), but now you say it's only the chance of starting? Where is that explained?

I'm actually speechless about this weather ... it's like ... like a ... like a woman slapping you out of nowhere with a reason, that you cheated on her in her dreams ... like seriously ... how can you prepare for something like that ... it's like ... like a ... I give up ... off to bed ...

That race was weird as sh#t but I suppose that every now and again a 100/1 shot wins?
Lots of folks gonna stop supporting because of this but wren't the guys you were racing in the same boat? Yeah a boat, I know, but it wasn't intentional.
Life's to short people....

Quote ( Michael Keeney @ December 29th 2017,21:51:15 ) Pathetic. No other words really.
Shambles, shocking, useless, abysmal, unfathomable, ridiculous , could go on....
But it’s another example of the GPRO LOTTERY.. I agree with Jose ^^^^
Didn’t affect me unduly, but it could have.... and did affect others. Completely pointless waste of time...... planning becomes pointless when the GPRO weather system happens like this. Time for a revamp ?
Same for everybody though I suppose.

100% rain probability means that rain won't stop during the period That implies that less than 100% means there is a chance it will stop. But now you say that if it says 99% it doesn't mean that the chances of it stopping is 1% but it could be for example 70%? Where is the logic?

How to kill your own game, give wrong information to players. This race meant nothing for me since I was in saving mode. However I'm sure a lot of people was affected by this ridiculous forecast. I would understand if it was at 50% or 60% chance of rain, but over 85% and it stopped while the forecast was over 90% and it didn't start again.

It will be difficult to consider all scenarios for future races.. even next race could rain more than half race ... I'll bring my umbrella with me just in case

It will never rain when you have umbrella with you. Otherwise no fun.

WTF with all those cries?! Oh boy, something completely unexpected just happened. Guess we're all on the same boat then, aren't we? Chesus!
@Kyle: can I nominate this already as topic of the season? ;)
BTW I want to marry that beautiful italian lady singing in the rain :P

They will write a new methodology!
Cool it!
|
|
|
Lol yeah ;)
Could be 100% wet according to that forecast.
As for the “fill up your account “ post.
Shove that right up your kilt !

Nope. For simple reason

I may wear the black livery next race. To remember all the cry babies we lost in the great rage-quit of '17.

It's just one race, i don't see any problems. I was running in 1st but ended up 3rd could have been lower if it wasn't for a bit of luck, i mean how often has this happened no need to cry :)

In Hungary the meteorogus says: probability of rain: X%; not X% -Y%.
GPRO: 1%-99%. Drop a dice! Nonsense.
