there is some people farming XP doing drift skill.
This isn’t really problem since point of FH3’s is driver who run clean and skillfully is awarded.
But There is some flaw in this FH3 online race.
HE edition cars
HE edition is clearly OP in this system. You simply can’t win if you don’t have HE edition cars
The solution is " makes boost XP don’t count to championship XP" This should be fine both who have HE edition cars and don’t.
2.people completely ignoring race
This problem is ruining race since people who is drifting all time to obtain skill point are getting more XP than achieving 1st place clean even he/she is DNF.
Furthermore, they are super annoying in circuit race even in no collision mode since they are blocking vision to checkpoint.
I think adding XP multiplier according to place which is like If you are 1st to 3rd place, then you gain 1x multiplier to skill and clean race,
4th to 6th are 0.75x multiplier, 6th to 12th are 0.5x, and those who DNF not reaching 75% or last lap of race(ofc relatively short circuits should be different) are disqualified and won’t get skill or clean race XP to online race is possible solution.
This should be match the design of FH3 online race that people drive fast and skillfully gets more point.
Also, in circuit race, driver who are more than 1 lap behind should be transparent as he is lagging.
Well, it is an XP championship. Do other events aside from online adventure, there is online free roam and coop. Or just ignore it: You don’t lose much. Winner of a championship gets 30.000 CR, that’s not really worth it. Over one championship you’ll easily gain two levels and wheelspins that are worth more.
If there are changes made to the scoring system I’d give out two multipliers, one for having the least collisions, one for having the fastest lap time. Just awarding it to the place only leads to even more offensive driving. The beauty of H3 is that you can avoid that, get third place with clean driving and still win.
a) You can use one too
b) It’s still possible to win without one
c) S1 and A class lobbies are the only ones really effected. Not so prevalent in the other classes.
So, how about make point-based championships in addition to current XP championships?
I think there are some, if not many, people who want to compete against other driver just like me.
Yeah this is a recognised issue with online adventure. Its a real shame because the idea is great…first to destination and then a race…and collecting all the points…
Trouble is for some…its collecting all the points for all the wrong reasons. If its all about drifting then there should be a drifting only event where drivers burn round in a street or field. I just cant see the point in racing to a destination or a finish line when you dont even need to get there??
Clean racing points is fun and encourages everyone to avoid crashing…but to get high points for just drifting in a race scenario just seems odd and unfun to people who just want to race…only to come first in every race and still lose?? There needs to be an option for “placement only” and “drift and placement”.
Increase the reward for finishing positions, making the difference between 1st and last place huge.
Having people compete in races where more XP can be had by not racing defeats the purpose of having races to begin with. I like this game a lot and have been happy to see so many old issues addressed (more than I thought would be), but this is one that should have been but wasn’t. I need to remember to cosign on whoever’s brought this up in the wishlist thread.
It is still the case that every lobby I have been in if I have done well in the races eg won 4 or come close I have won the xp leaderboard as well.
I am there fore the racing. If I win 4 races I have fulfilled my goal. I have no need to even have an xp leaderboard.
What is the real issue here? Is it that people do not see their name top of some list at the end of 4 activities or are they worried about CR. If the latter forget it. You are complaining about a max of 30k. You do realise you get more credits in the races for winning than coming last via drifting yeah?
If this really is a game breaking issue then why are people not asking for xp leaderboards in FM lobbies?
Some people have posted about flawed motivation with achievements and I say the same about this xp leaderboard issue.
Get out there and maintain traction or not - whichever you enjoy more and forget about the xp leaderboard.
I had a guy in my club state he had 100k exp more than 2nd place because of a very easy to do exploit with drifting. Idk about you but when i join a game of infected or flag rush, i kind of want to play the game and not see people drifting everywhere and drifting against walls. Do all of that in singleplayer.
LOL whats with the people defending these stupid HE cars getting 500,000 xp per online adventure? “you can still beat them in normal cars” ummm no. People like playing and winning when you get games where people have unfair advantages with HE cars and such its gonna make people play less i.e. me.
What people don’t understand is why the xp leaderboard exists.
The old fashioned way - you had to be quick to win races. What happened - the slower people stopped playing.
New way - the fast people still win races. The slower people have something else to gain from being there.
Either way, apparently, you will still have people not playing.
But for me if there are 11 people being beaten by me in a race then I am happy. If they happen to be drifting half a lap behind thats fine by me. It is better than those games where I tried to play online and either found 2 opponents or got kicked for being quick.
He cars are available to everyone, it is not different to leaderboard cars.
If you want to win the XP leaderboard there is a way.
If you want to race with nothing else up for grabs other than line honours then go private freeroam with people who want to do the racing you want to do. I know there is a problem with Goliath. So add friends that want to race what you want to.
Use the racers lounge to find them.
Sounds like I have not come up against the biggest XP grinders.
If I did come up against them how would I feel? I would laugh. They can have all the fun they want and I will put them a lap down. So I lose 6 or 8k credits and a cookie for not topping the table. I will still be happy with my 4 podiums. You see there are actually 5 leaderboards each adventure. I topped 4 of them
Real simple solution to this. Bring an XP Horizon Edition car and win the races… I’ve been smoking people in the championships by doing that. Even with people staying back to get skills, they don’t finish and all the XP earned in addition to the HE car bonus and finishing first, they have no chance if they pull over and get skills.
Like other have said, it’s just the championship, I care more about the individual races than I do about the championship as a whole…
gives everyone a fair chance, that is what Horizon is. Way more interesting than the same guy winning again and again and again and no one has a chance If you want to be the fastest play Forza 6 with the corner cutters. Kind of tired of it. Also this is an arcade game.
Yeah i guess you cant always please everyone. It just sucks that its the people who work hard on tunes and really try are the ones getting crapped on. They could however just exclude skill exp from counting in the leaderboard and maybe give a small credit bonus to whoever gets the most skill points.
I have Seen a lot of people not even take part in the online advenetures, letting everyone through at the start of the race to drift at the end of the field and still finishing at the end of the adventure in the top 3.
I personelly find that very annoying, but the majority thinks, this is part of the game, so ist am fine with that.
I would suggest, to award the Positions at the end of the race with more Exp. Would kinda Balance things out imo.
