Couple of Gift cars in my Inbox

Sadly there will be loads of
‘Locked’ Vehicles that ppl will never get, or even given a chance to get hold of.

Turn 10 have structured this iteration to help move the game to be more online than ever before. The days of acquiring all the cars have gone. They might well advertise that players have ‘access’ to over 700 cars, the truth is, they do.

But unlike previously, having ‘Access’ now means that you’re given the chance to compete for them, in one way or another.

Whereas before, you had to go through the game tomacquire them as prizes, or because of the high credit costs, be made available as prizes, or just fir sale for credits.

I believe the next iteration of Forza will be just Forza FC, the totally online car game. No disc, no normal caree mode perse, just an advance version of what they are now pushing.

The last lot of VIP or Bundled cars have been given out in March, now the only way of say getting the VW Kombi Bus will be by competing in one or several online events.

I’m 89% through getting a certain multiplayer award, yet, and here’s the kicker, I’ve only ever played ONCE online in MP, so that I could get the recent Valiant Charger…

And other than that, I’ve never knowingly gone into MP. Yet my Xbox has done so quietly in the background, and used my avatar in MP events. Thus enabling my profile to be seen and used on MP . . .

Turn10 have forgotten about who the game is for, and are pandering to the whole online ‘community’ thing. Irrespective of the fact a large number of players don’t have 1, the time to go online and win races or 2, have the patience to go through the number of trials to get to a place they can compete in.

They might have advertised that players ‘have access’ to,0ver 700 cars, butbthat diesnt mean you’ll get your hands on even 2/3rds of them.

To achieve platinum car collector, you only need to collect more than 300-400 cars. Once you reach that figure, you’ve automatically become a top,tier car collector. In previous games, you had to collect ALL of the cars. Somwhile that’s great for those that simply wantbthe awards/credits, but not that great for those wanting the hard to get cars.

I quickly went on FM7 tonight to check, and while I did receive the Monte Carlo FE and Hyundai suit, I have not received the Falcon or Torana FE.

No Falcon, no Torana.

Wonder why some players got them for no obvious reason and others didn´t. Not good.

This was the response I got when i sent Forza a email to find out as i received none off the cars i asked about all 3 cars that were gifted

Hello
These cars were rewards for participating in past Rivals events/FRC Mixer broadcasts. If you did not participate in them, you will not received them as gifts but keep an eye out for future event that highlight those cars as rewards.

Thanks.

So, Mixer broadcasts seem to be the answer since I participated in every community and Forza RC rival. Wow, a Mixer broadcast which goes live when it’s already late at night here in Germany. That’s a new low point for this garbage.

Even in Seattle the mixer broadcasts go live during normal work/school hours so a majority of the people watching them live are unemployed adults and people streaming them during work/school. Serious doubt T10 would tie rewards to them. The FRC Preseason event was on a weekend so is a little more understandable.

The fact that you just proved the T10 email to be 50% inaccurate (car not a reward for rivals events) leads me to think that is their standard response to questions like this and these 3 cars were not gifted out because of a Mixer stream.

What a joke. I thought the ForzaRC stream was a joke to get a couple cars, but definitely a new low if I have to start watching boring asf streams.

My main gamertag received none of the cars, but I did receive the driver suit (the qualifying event for which was closed before I installed this game)

I have 4 dummy accounts registered on this game, 1 of them received the monte carlo SS and 2 different accounts received the falcon/torana combo. None of these dummy accounts has participated in any events prior to the current ladder challenge.

Not sure if this will clear anything up, or muddy the waters further.

No mention of anything in the WIR either. Come on, Turn 10, could we at least have some sort of explanation?

That would be nice. I got the Chevelle FE for the FRC Qualifier today, but still no sign of the other 3 cars.

Wow glad I like doing a bit of everything
Got the
Monte carlo, Ford gt 351 and the torana A9X
Just trying to figure out exactly what for bit that’s ok

So in other words, you have to participate in every rivals or any other event just in case they hand out rewards (even though they don’t mention anything beforehand).
Who would have thought that this whole locked cars thing can get even more ridiculous.

I play almost every day. I didn’t get anything gifted to me. I have both the FE cars. I just want the Falcon, but it looks like I missed out because of luck…

Which was the car from mixer

Welp, sounds like I’ll just leave the stream running while I go to other things from now on, with an occasional check to see if there are any special conditions.

Still, that’s a really bogus move by T10. Many people are not able to watch the stream from the beginning or even all the way through for various reasons so giving the people that do so special treatment is really asanine.

Can someone explain me why I recieved the Montecarlo and not the Torana/Ford?
Which is the difference between this two?
I watched all the streaming of preseason ForzaRC.
I really don’t understand

I’m the opposite, I got the Torana and the Ford, but not the Monte Carlo.

I got nada , just the Hyundai gear for the rivals event. It’s so frustrating, I’m at car collector 43 , purchased all the cars I could. I’m jumping thru every hoop T10 throws out to get locked cars and now this. All they had to do is announce there will be prizes like they do with leagues, rivals and forzathons. I even signed up for FORZA RC just to get whatever in game prizes come from that. And at least give you a week to get it , not a small window on Saturday to watch a stream. They are really trying hard to alienate their fan base.

Got nothing. Not impressed with T10 as there was no mention of this stuff.
