I thought it said “upto to 9 months”? Although I’m sure that’s just covering themselves.
With how many codes they gotta send out (about 5000-6000 I think), past experience with special DLC codes and since they are working outside of Xbox/Forza (ESL) I wouldn’t expect anything for at least 2 weeks at best.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Forza Horizon 3 was released before people started getting the codes personally.
So if I understand that right Sunday the season 1 grand final is there after that they will decide who has made it in the top 50% of registered players and then they will send them between like 3 to 9 weeks after the final.
But they have like 3 leaderboards to check plus if someone is registered or not.
Man that’s a lot of work! Good luck Turn 10 and ESL this is how I finished week 1 top 2%, week 2 top 11% and week 3 top 1%. All in all I had a great time racing and although I missed the last two days of week 1 and the first 4 days of week 2 (i was on a holiday for a week) but I think I’m pretty safe.
Sorry but why has ESL got a signup for the open championship then? I mean I don’t want to troll or something but if you are registered by just participating why they have that signup on their site that’s only causing confusion to me and maybe others. I have signed up for it just to be sure but if you are right then ESL should make it more clear where that sign up is for as I could have just gone for 35%. Again sorry if you think I’m ignorant but I just thought the ESL site hasn’t got the clearest layout.
Anyone can get the Unicorn cars simply for racing.
To be eligible for the DLC prizes - Week 1: Car Pass, Week 2: Porsche Expansion, Week 3: NASCAR Expansion - you had to be registered on ESL. Then, the top 50% of REGISTERED ON ESL players in their respective Forza League - Grassroots, Enthusiast, Professional, Elite, Pinnacle - will receive the prize.
For example, if ten players raced in your league:
1: NOT REGISTERED
2: NOT REGISTERED
3: NOT REGISTERED
4: NOT REGISTERED
5: NOT REGISTERED
6: NOT REGISTERED
7: REGISTERED
8: REGISTERED
9: REGISTERED
10: REGISTERED
Then players 1 - 5 WILL NOT win the prize. Players 7 and 8 would get the prize.
Hope that makes sense.
There was an announcement in the news section about this, there was also a thread or two, and comprehensive directions on ESL’s website in the Forza section.
Sorry but then the confusion is caused by Noobertson’s posts I don’t have anything against him but this just causes confusion as he says you just have to race to be registered. Still though as I said I’ve registered on ESL and I’m standing really safe in the top 50% so I’m just gonna wait for my dlc.
Since many people asked and some others misunderstand things, here’s an overview what you need to do, to receive the Forza 6 DLC prizes and the unicorns.
It may be a little confusing, since they use the word ‘registered’ three times in only two sentences, and mean a total different thing each time.
The top 50% of registered ESL Open Series players in each League will qualify for a weekly prize.
Only qualified players who have registered for ESL
and have registered for the ForzaRC Open are eligible to receive a prize.
1. The top 50% of registered ESL Open Series players in each League will qualify for a weekly prize.
Or better: The top 50% of registered ‘ESL Open Series’ players in each League will qualify for a weekly prize.
The ‘ESL Open Series’ is nothing more than the FM6 league event!
Participants must be registered with an Xbox Gold account. (of course, without Gold you can’t join leagues). 1. #ForzaRC Rules
To ‘register’ you just need to finish one race and earn at least 100 points inside the leaderboard.
At this point you will already receive the weekly unicorn car, and if you make it inside the first 50% of your divisions leaderboard until the end of the league-event you are ‘qualified’ for the DLC prize.
Alright now I get it sorry didn’t read the things you wrote under point 2 so you have to be registered on ESL and signed up for the open event. So I’m safe either way for week 1,2 and 3.
Again sorry I misunderstood it because of point 1 but that was for the unicorns and I didn’t read on to point 2.
So just to further muddy the waters, what’s the point of racing in the “open” series “ladders” they have going this week in conjunction with ESL? Pride? Bragging rights? I see no prizes listed anywhere for jumping through all the ESL hoops, or am I being ignorant?
On the ESL site, under the green “ESL Open” tab. There’s 375 players registered, and matches going on now. You have to do an “instant match” or a “matchmaker” match, get in contact with your opponent, race the 1v1 race, save the screenshot of the results, etc. I see no point to it all, other than being ranked in that group of 375.
The point is fun. That’s it and that’s exactly what ESL states the 1v1 races are for.
So far it’s been pretty fun. You’re forced to drive stock cars that you’ve likely never used and are forced to try things that may be out of your comfort zone. Theres also a bit of strategy if you know you’re opponents weaknesses.
I like that the host chooses car and class and opponent has to search through the class and find a car they think will give them an advantage and then roles switch race 2.
It’s something different and you won’t find those rules in FM6 multiplayer.
Only issue I have is that the skill gap is huge. I could have lapped an opponent the other day if I didn’t slow down. There definitely needs to be more people playing so that you cannot play against lower ranked players.
The posting of scores and screen shots takes less than 5 minutes to do which is nice.
