"...But what about a "Rivals mode" though?"

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH1 Discussion

Good day everyone!

So, there are news that Forza Horizon gonna reach it’s “End of Life” status at Oct. 20.
This means, that game and whole bunch of DLC’s for it gonna be deleted (kinda) from marketplace for those who still doesn’t have this game.
And, from some point of view, it’s not a big deal, right? I mean, this game was pretty popular and after giving it for free in GWG-program it became soooo popular, that it’s got even broke (but that’s a whole other story). So, i’m trying to say, that who wanted to get this awesome game - already got it.

BUT! There is another point of this situation.
From Sept. 13 there wasn’t a single man who could launch a “Rivals Mode” and … Well, it’s already not a good thing but there are also 2 achievements for this mode.
Oops.

So, yeah, i’m just curious - WHAT ABOUT A RIVALS MODE?
Is it ever going to work again or what?
I mean, they saing, quote:“Players who own Forza Horizon before that date will still be able to download and play the game and its associated content as normal.”

What does it mean, actually? It would be very nice to get a more like specificall answer to those few questions on forum, right?

In my point of view, it’s all about getting things fixed for those, who already have this game, cause what “NORMAL” could mean beside game beeing fully functioning.
But there is a second point of view - servers are going to be shuted down. Not cool though if it’s true.

Unfortunatelly, i don’t have any answers.
But wanted to have them as everyone else (whats a meaning of life, btw?).
Seems, that it is time to wait for Oct.20 to see what’s going to happen or wait for a more specific information about “normal status of game”.

Thank you for you time, anyway.
And for this amazing game, guys at Turn10/Playground Games. Hope this thing is gonna be fixed.
Love ya:*

This is getting out of hand. With no response or acknowledgement from the studio on this, followed by the recent disclosure of the delisting, it’s getting a bit silly. From the point of my purchase, this content has never been available, so should this content not be fixed at any point before it is removed, I’m going to have to seek a refund for it.

The coming weeks will set a precedence for the way that Playground Games conducts themselves around their more inactive titles. I’m not particularly keen on them shutting down Horizon period, but the level of communication that is provided to us will determine whether I purchase additional content in the future. No sense in spending money for content that could be severed on a moment’s notice without any word or reason from the developer.

The community has been posting about this problem for nearly a month, there is absolutely no reason why a response has not been given.

This is whats really odd to me. Aren’t there people employed to “manage” the community? Why can’t they post in here and tell us the situation?

Had I known that the rally expansion dlc wasn’t working properly before I bought it. I wouldn’t have purchased it. Kind of annoying

I completely understand that the game isn’t new and that there will always be a time when services go down. However, could the rivals achievements be fixed please? Could they at least be running until October 20th? There are a lot of people that never expected services to end for ‘first party’ Microsoft games because it’s so rare. I’ve already finished the achievements, but I have friends who have not. Even if the rivals achievements were only supported until October 20th, it would make a lot of people happy. Could this please be a possibility?

Do the right thing and fix rivial otherwise we should get our dlc cost all refunded … I feel it’s been a truck and not right since I never got to experience the full content . I don’t mind waiting for a fix as long as it does get fix … I feel it’s the right thing to do otherwise they can lose a lot of future sales . Thanks.
