#Forzathon Dec/Jan

Weird. Forzathon has updated in the game with:

“Forza World Tour Part 1” - ends in 22 days, 3 events to win Ferrari F12Berlinetta
“Heavy Duty Steering” - ends in 29 days, 0 events (!) to win Freezer Burn Driver Gear

1st event in World Tour is 3 laps on Brands Hatch in a British car, but the counter for the event is marked 0/5. And running it in an E-Type didn’t seem to work, even after running an extra race.

And on top of that, there are six different new challenges live according to True Achievements (Forza Motorsport 7 Xbox Challenges | TrueAchievements) which reads the info from the XBL service.

Answers on a postcard…


[Mod Edit - these challenges finally became active on Dec. 18 - MM]

Welcome to Forza Motorsport 7 (Beta), please note that not all features will remain working after launch. Any attempt to point out problems will be met with hostility. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

But seriously, that’s quite broken (and we’ve seen it all!)

Eeeeeep, take it back.

I never say things like we seen it all, it can’t get any worse, or wow your the dumbest criminal…some how the forces that control the world see that as a challenge and will out perform our standards.

At least this is turn10 not ea

Yeah indeed, EA at least answers questions, something that T10 has big issues with. And they are both equal in fixing their issues. Half of them get never fixed.

And yet you just did…

Honestly though, could have fooled m this time around.
This game is so broken that it may as well have been made by EA/Ubi

At least Ubi is paying attention and understand that releasing their games prematurely = bad pressed and are giving their games more time to develop now.

Since AFAIK they haven’t actually officially announced the new forzathon, perhaps it’s still in the works. Last event the achievements appeared as well as the new events, a couple days before they actually went active.

These look like they might have been activated earlier. There are three more listed earlier for the AMG GT-S, Q50 Eau Rouge and Motion Capture Gear.

They weren’t on that page earlier this evening - they’ve definitely only appeared in the last hour or so.

Doesn’t mean they are the right ones.

It is not active. I just did them all to be sure and it has no pulse at all. I know we want the cars etc but it does say 22 days and going by the past few Forzathons a good week - 10 days before you attempt it probably a good move, kick back and watch others suffer. Looking at challenge 2 unfinished I think someone accidentally hit the trigger early.

Made me smile.

I’ve tried a few times and it’s definitely not active, I’ve got all the Forzathons in FM7 eventually.

No-one has won it yet so as RavingLunatic says, let others suffer trying

Not working for me either. Did the challenge for Forza World Tour Part 1 3 times and nothing. The Heavy Duty Steering event doesn’t even display what to do. Seems glitched or just not activated yet. I’ll try again tomorrow.

I have the same problem.

Same for me to. Was showing the first one with the 3 challenges and the second one with nothing listed to complete it. So I hopped onto leagues for a couple races. Exited leagues and now the Forzathon window says COMING SOON again. Oh well I am sure they will get it fixed soon enough. Just curious what the challenge for the freeze man suit is. Maybe playing Forza outside with below zero temperatures. LOL !!!

Yup, same with me. Once again “COMING SOON”. I have a feeling that they’re struggling to get it working properly. Wondering if it’s time for a server overhaul.

They are really, really struggling with Forzathon in FM7. Such futility is rare not just in the Forza series, but in most major game titles/series I’ve played. Is one hand not washing the other over at T10, or what? It’s to the point where I’m not surprised when Forzathon gets released early then pulled back/when Forzathon cheevos don’t pop/when Forzathon awards aren’t awarded. And that’s really a sad thing.
