What qualifies for the Forza 3 DLC reward? Is it ONLY if you had a purchased DLC in your history via Xbox Live?
I have the Forza 3 Collectors edition (which has all the DLC’s on the disc) and I have them all installed but I still never received the 100 pts for the DLC reward. (I also have the a Forza 3 DLC code but you all know the story with the content not being available so I won’t go there)
I realize the game is dead to T10/MS, however they DID release Forza Rewards AFTER that happened so honestly they shouldn’t have included rewards for things no longer possible to obtain (my opinion and I know many won’t agree).
I am a completionist and it is driving me crazy that I can not get to 8500 reward pts. I did not play through F2 so I never got the achievement for buying or selling 10 cars in the auction house and of course it no longer exists. That one I will just have to accep, but I DO own the content for the Forza 3 DLC (twice in fact) and I still can’t get the 100 pts for that.
I would assume you would have to use a code/purchase through the marketplace to get those points but don’t know for sure.
As for not being able to get those points - does it really matter? You do not need anywhere near maximum points to be able to get to the highest tier, and why shouldn’t T10 reward those that have been long time followers, it’s not like there is any advantage but getting points for something you chose to do long before their was a reward for it isn’t a bad thing.
Oops yes I did mean Ultimate Collection, I own the regular version as well but had purchased the Ultimate Collection in hopes of tripping the DLC reward.
I have been a long time follower. Sure I didn’t join the forums until later and I didn’t play online for F2/F3 but I’ve been playing Forza 2 since its release day and every Forza since. It’s not a matter of that I haven’t been as loyal just that I wasn’t a completionist back then and online stuff didn’t matter to me. I also did not have the expendable income I have now and purchasing DLC’s was much less of an option. I had sold my original Xbox/Gamertag to a friend in ~2008 in fact just because of that reason, so even if I did do the online stuff I wouldn’t have received credit for that (F2). When I had money again I purchased another Xbox but had to create a new gamertag (coincidence I purchased another Xbox the same year F3 came out? Hrmm… I think not ).
Your right though it isn’t relevant to getting rewards or anything, it is just a matter of being so close to maxing it out and not being able to. Nit Picky! I figured it was worth asking though since I do own the content and thought maybe T10 could give me the credit even if MS couldn’t.
Funny thing is I haven’t had to do anything for my points - those happen to be what I had from playing the games.
Believe me I do understand - but the ones that irk me (and many others) are the Purchase Tokens. I can live with the DLC (and Forza has lots which helps), but buying tokens is not something I will do so am missing LOTS of points for those (300 in FM4, 150 in FH, and 350 in FM5). Good thing I like playing Forza and the Rewards are nothing but the cherry on top really - not that I will say no to the rewards!!!
And talk about close - the tokens are all I need in FM4 and FH, while FM2 is the online winnings (not an online racer and definitely wasn’t in the FM2 days) and in FM3 it is the 100,000 Drift Lap that I don’t have. Otherwise it is FM5 and given I got it late and have spent most weekends since not at home, and 5 weeks overseas I don’t think I have done too badly there so far.
I shared your frustration not being able to get that last 100 points, but after trying something just on a whim two days ago the 100 points for DLC just rang up to my account 10 minutes ago!!!
I thought what the heck and dl’d one of the 99 cent add ons through in game marketplace. So now I have a gold trophy to go along with my 1000 point completion. It took two days from the micro Trans.
