Festival Playlist events and rewards Dec. 9th - 16th (Summer S2)

Candy canes and trees are all over the place. The Candy canes are easy to get inside the ice rink. Several trees in there too, then just go to the cities/towns and drive around and you can easily find the rest. The Snowmen are the issue. I had to use the Solo/Rewind tactic to get that one to work.

Have to say, I was nearly crying with laughter reading this thread. The workarounds and ā€œtranslationsā€ required to try and get through these challenges are brilliant.

OK, great! Thanks to everyone for your responses. (Obviously, I haven’t attempted any of this yet, but just wanted to be sure)

My result was a bit different. I thought it’s time for H4. First week after release it was OK. It’s still funny here but playing it? I am not sure…

11/10!

It was OK after release. It’s more than a month now. It’s not funny anymore.

finally got it …

Bowling in the deep is the worst (worst worst) event i’ve played on both FH4 & FH5.
I’m 100% sure it’s not even been tested. All the jumps and air on the ramps are random af. It’s like this whole part has been designed by a new player …
Had to retry 10 times each jump and play on tourist difficulty.

Here’s my tune for the Modern Rally Summer Championship if anyone needs one,

Just completed the Track Toys road championship and sharing my tune here,
2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 - 110 164 099

Well the Trial is another load of RNG.

I’ve run the tracks a few times and tuned the car so I can comfortably beat expert.

Attempt 1, I was by far the quickest car, gapping the next player by at least 5 sec, though best I could mange was 4th and 3rd.
AI was really fast, I was barely gaining on them in the long runs. My lap was pretty tidy, turns clean without running wide etc.

Attempt 2, Followed another player past the lead AI on lap 1, of first race, team only gave up 100pts. Next race I was in the lead mid way, losing it to another player on a bad jump where I caught some rotation and finishing second. AI was slower than expert.

I’d really like to know if this is RNG or if the AI are pace matching to something in other players builds, however the inconistency in pace really doesn’t help. The first one really was unbeatable (with my tune and skill) while the second barely a challenge.

I’ve seen this before in other trials, just more exagerated in CC due to the AI’s seeming lack of slowdowns from the environment.

May explain some of the different player experiences.

Finished up the last championship, this street one is way easier than the circuits one since the Mustangs have so much hp.

Now on to the next broken weekly event…the Forzathon weekly Challenge ā€œFuture Classicā€ (Nissan 240SX) let me get to the beginning of ch.4, then it reset back to the beginning of ch. 2. By itself, it’s not a big problem, but when added to the Everest-size pile of rubbish that the game is already becoming, it’s just another reason for me to go back to Fallout 4. I’ll probably keep playing it because I don’t want the money I paid for this to be a total waste, but I have already found myself returning to FH3 and FH4 to get my (less buggy) Forza fix. I’m getting so bloody tired of filing support tickets every day, only to see them ignored.

I wish I was less innocent. I thought they’d cover the whole map in snow, lol.

I finished it earlier in the day. Don’t think it’s broken.

You have summed up precisely why PGG are not rushing to fix the game…they know a lot of people will keep playing otherwise it will be money wasted. PGG have zero incentive to fix it…players will keep playing, Microsoft and Xbox will continue congratulating them on a job well done (10 million players and counting after all!!!) and Playground will continue effectively telling people that a Series X/S is not worth the cost when one of the flagship titles is an appalling mess…sure the game is great in a lot of areas but it doesn’t negate the shambles some parts are in whether through bad design, bad programming, incompetence or sheer laziness

Trying to play the Trial is a trial in itself.

ā€œNo compatible Forza Horizon 5 servers foundā€

Playground, you suck. You probably know it, which is why you had to basically build a new studio inside the original to develop Fable. You should be thankful your only competition these days is games made by companies everyone loves to hate.

I know it sounds like an overreaction. But:

  1. Exclusive cars in the 42 pts slot
  2. Aventador SVJ a whopping 200 pts
  3. Bugged Treasure Hunt
  4. Can’t connect to Trial lobby

It adds up.

I was getting this on playground games and tour. Restarting the game fixed it.

Really? Progress got reset when I tried it, I think that qualifies as broken. :confused:

So, not only do we have bugged accolades that are seasonal, events are seemingly made more difficult as well. The first round of PGG I could barely see because of fog and multi colored floodlights, it was ridiculous and I’m not sure how we even won that match.

This is getting ridiculous.
