A post was split to a new topic: Challenge Hub - Porsche 911 Turbo S not unlocking

It seems a bit odd that the track list for this doesn’t include Le Mans Old Mulsanne, given that’s what these cars are known for, and it’s what the Spec Rivals for this Division uses.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Earth Suit not unlocking

The Porsche multi class event doesn’t also count towards the standard multiclass open event in case anyone else was wondering. Both FOMO cars have to be unlocked separately which, if you go the MP route, is a lot of racing.

Unfortunately you got it wrong again and it confuses people. Only the Multi Class Series lets you progress towards unlocking the car. @T10ManteoMax

Which is poor in itself as it means having to do two different multiclass series to unlock the two cars, rather than having the option of doing the (shorter) Open class events.

Would be nice if developers got rid of “short tracks for slow cars” philosophy. I’d want to race M3 spec, for example, on Suzuka full layout, Nurburgring GP, not to mention the Nordschleife or any other full tracks really

Would enjoy this, but soon as it says time limited cars, I work full time, busy life, I can’t play often and miss out. Stupid, stupid FOMO.

Just wanted to say, awesome job fixing the lobby populations. Multiclass has been packed for the first time ever on a consistent basis. But almost every lobby I’ve jumped into has averaged north of 20 players, so whatever you guys did, it’s working.

Just dropping this here since i see some people have problem with this car [and some other rear heavy cars]

Basicaly to fix these cars u need to:
-use more negative rear Toe
-lower rear roll center
-Stiffen up anti-dive

Also EV sucks

The challenge hub says I have completed the Round The World suit, but when I go to select it it is greyed out.

The challenge hub prematurely completed my Earth Day challenge before I completed the races on the three continents. The Earth Day suit was not available. Fortunately, after I finished my race on the third continent I was awarded the suit. Just a bug in the challenge hub I suppose.
