I used your tune in the Buggy event and whilst it is an improvement, the Alumi cars are one of my most hated to run - second only to the Cholla.
Don’t keep track of times on these events but I’m pretty sure I got quicker than those in the races.
Good work Tony for making a personally disliked car actually work.

Thanks, appreciate that.

Not sure if this was an official request, but I went ahead with the same design theme on the H1A & you’re right, looks pretty good IMO. Thanks for the suggestion.

This was a pleasure to drive Tony; made quick work of the AI & will be my go-to tune for this going forward. Great job!

Sooo, is one required to have xbox live or gold in order to do an Arcade event? ( The final chapter in the hummer H1 weekly)

yes, I think so, came up recently for a similar reason; if someone else logs in on the same device that they have access then maybe it’ll work or if you use the home xbox of someone who has game pass/whatever then I think it’ll work

It’s just a tendency, not an absolute. Those with clan tags tend to be of a higher average skill than those without. Especially if you don’t include the AR12 tag.

But plenty of people better without the clan tags. Just referring to trends and averages.

Thank you! I agree with the Cholla. That thing is horrible and good luck if you get stuck with that pig in an eliminator round.

Thanks! I’m not the biggest fan of the buggies. I do like this one though. I love the engine sounds this one has.

Totally. I always try to avoid them in the eliminator. Sometimes if I’m stuck in the Bug, I’ll take it just to try and avoid a knockout from somebody else claiming it but always drop it as soon as possible - even if it means dropping a few car classes.
That thing is a waste of time.

Finished the Trial in '15 Subaru, 2x win and people really go: brakes, what are brakes … first corner pileup OMG
Took Durango to PGG because why not bring prize to the party, enter with low expectations lol
Also in PGG, is infected a game of survivals rushing to infected, so they can also get infected as soon as possible? I only managed to park on pyramid and we already had 4 infected … slowly drives to infected to end the round as last survival. Next I infect 2, team nothing … starts slowly driving around.
Continue slow driving in next rounds to end suffering quickly. :flushed:
Speaking of low expectations …

I’ll try the Barto tune next. I tried an 05 tune (Tony said he’d do an 05 tune), and it wasn’t as fast as the 04. Got that glitch once where we won the second event and won the whole thing even though we lost the first. Weird.

My bad I made a typo. I was doing the 04 from the start. I went and corrected it in the post. Sorry about that.

The last Pathfinder was epic, I changed the car from D class buggy to S1 Chevy K10. It was a blast.

Most of the route is part of a regular place I enjoy running in high speed off road vehicles with friends.

I hope one day a start point bee added for a race frome the northwest on the beach all the way around the big rocks to the hotel and finishing just before the bridge where the river meant the ocean.

Overall, this Playlist was second best after last week.

The Hummer EV is a good performer on dirt and cross country. Didn’t expect that due to its weight.

One unfortunate bug I noticed with the Hummer EV, it count bashing brick walls and other stuff as collusion instead of wreckage skills. This hapens during Cross Country racing and in freeroam.

I’ll miss this Series, I hope the next would be as much fun with 13 part Donut media story.

It has a broken hitbox. Especially annoying in Rivals and online racing where laps are getting “dirtied” or slowdown penalties imposed for normal driving.

That’s why when landing from high jump while sliding it also count as collusion in freeroam.

Didn’t think about the hitbox. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.

@Laberbacke, thank you so much for those screenshots and another thank you for not making it in a video :smiley:

Searching for those trailblazers isn’t exactly fun

Just came here to say it’s been a blast having arcade actually populated for once with it being featured in the weekly. I haven’t seen this many people in arcades since the game launched, before it was patched and it became a wasteland.
I’d like weekly challenges going forward to always include an arcade event, but I understand not everyone would enjoy them.
Maybe add a separate arcade weekly challenge, say do 5 in the specific season. Honestly I’d take anything to get this mode more active.

Which would perhaps be a good idea if connectivity wasn’t so ropey. I managed to get the HA done as part of the weekly because the game suddenly and randomly decided that I should be online.

This afternoon I was perpetually being informed that I’d been disconnected. No HAs for me even if I’d wanted to do them; and sad to say, a lack of online in free roam is the norm for me.
