Festival Playlist voting | Horizon Customs vs 10yr Anniversary

I normally do not care personally, but for this one I need my coffee fix! Got to get a cup or I spill the beans.

Edit: Sorry GaymerGirl67 - was going to reply about accolades, but changed and forgot I was replying.

Oh I know that feeling… :grin:

why are recent playlists keep getting added, it should be the older stuff surely everyone has all the recent stuff, the few cars i need are from early in the game that keep being palmed off for common cars easily available at the auctions

Hopefully the badges are granted for rerun series. I missed the coffee cup the first time and was surprised it couldn’t be earned in Realms.

Why not just repeat the festival playlists from series 1,no need to alter the car rewards or replace some of them with backstage passes.With the backstage passes available in the forzathon store all the newcomers,and older players,can get the missing cars and accolades they missed.Just my opinion mind. :+1:

Both playlists are too new; why are Series 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 not coming back when many still have goals left open or missed, like on New Year’s in Guanajuato to see the lanterns? It’s really starting to take the fun out of having to play everything again.

Hopefully the Belvedere will be put in the shop at some point during American Automotive if it wins, that’s a big loss from it’s original run if it won’t be available, it’s a strong and versatile car in C-A class.

Logically you’d think it will win as only the two VW’s from Cars & Coffee aren’t already obtainable, and they’re cool cars but disappointing performance wise, but look at the series we’re in now, the logic said we’d never be here so :man_shrugging: who knows…

They pulled the Judge and the Rossion Q1, 2 of the cars I needed the most.

Logically, cars can/will show up in the backstage and be easily obtainable at some point (I would think)

However, there are two Cars & Coffee badges that can’t be obtained any other way except through this series vote. This is the only opportunity to get them if they were missed the first time around.


This is the problem that happened with the last playlist vote. Too many people only focused on cars and not anything else. As a result, many lost their only opportunity for the parade race accolade.

The American Automotive series has 4 exclusive cars not available in the backstage/autoshow etc.

Cars & Coffee has 2 exclusives, one of which is up for vote for backstage this week.

The trials and championships seem fairly even though the American series has the Titan in one championship.

To me the American seems better just on that. I don’t get the draw of badges or accolades. :person_shrugging: no offense, just not my thing unless they’re entertaining to complete.

Edit:
American Automotive:
1966 Chevy Nova SS
2023 Chevy Corvette Z06
1968 Pontiac Firebird
1972 Chevy K10 Custom

Horizon Cars & Coffee:
2010 AM One-77 - Autoshow!
1986 VW SP-2 - possible Backstage Car
1973 VW Thing

…yet

A lot of people think that at first. Eventually, when they get all of the cars and decide to complete other parts of the game, they start getting aggravated that they can’t get these other things as they’re the only things preventing 100% completion.

I am intending to vote for “American Automotive” so it’s clear that the winner is going to be the other one.

You can get the New Year’s Lantern Evolving World Accolade in an EventLab. I did it myself a little while ago. No solution for the parade race, however.

That’s not a smart assumption to make about everyone or even a majority of players. Sure there will be players that want things they won’t ever use simply because they don’t have it. Many will realize they’re doing things they don’t enjoy just to get things they’ll never use, or that aren’t as good as they expected, and are things don’t really want.

The cars have use in the game in different classes and disciplines. The badges don’t. They indicate the completion of an often simple task.

I didn’t take the picture then and won’t if the opportunity comes up again.

The American Automotive will win because it’s a prettier picture and the little “1” on the tab tempts you into voting impulsively.

I’m happy to vote with the general consensus on here? I have access to all the cars except some of these Extreme Es so it doesn’t bother me too much as long as the playlist is good.

The badges have uses for cosmetic purposes. Like little vinyls beside your gamertag that show up on your entry/results list.

I’m not unduly focused on them but they are vaguely amusing.

The “Another One Lights the Dust!” accolade where you have to smash lanterns in Dunas Blancas?

Because when people refer to the Lantern accolade you can’t get, it usually means “Happy New Year!” (Visit Guanajuato during the New Year to see the beautiful lanterns).

Agreed. That’s why I didn’t say either of those things.

I am merely pointing out that overall, badges and accolades that are tied to specific series’ are ultimately more difficult to attain. Obviously, if you don’t care about them, then the point is moot in your case. What I’ve stated is still fact however.

Saying a lot of people get aggravated about not being able to collect all badges feels like the overstatement. It’s true you didn’t say everyone.

LOL. I’m not here to argue a point of “how many users” or what constitutes “a lot” since the term is open to interpretation. If I had an exact number for you, I’d give it.

I’m just stating the facts about the difficulty in achieving the badges. The fact may be irrelevant to you and others (I’ll refrain from trying to quantify the number and get to splitting hairs again)… but it’s still a fact to consider.

If users want to make an informed decision, I’m just providing extra information that goes beyond just cars since their vote does impact more than just that. Everyone can then choose to agree or disagree. They don’t necessarily have to disagree right here. They can do that when they vote.
