Free-for-all Adventure / Online Discussion

Well IMO ranked should not be continous, and in my exprience in free for all waiting time is not even that big it would be any kinda problem.

And you say that player choose to class but include only 4 highest class, how abaout those lower classes? And x-class is even less balanced than a-class so it’s pretty easy to see that those races would be just mosler x12.

All the people who are complaining here, played and felt harmed in some way with this horrible multiplayer.
Some returned to forza horizon 3.
We are not complaining here because we do not like the game. We’re complaining because we want this game to be better.
What Playground Games is doing is increasing the number of sales for casual players and single player mode. Meanwhile, we who are veteran players, are facing this paradigm.
We play the game daily, casual players buy the game today and tomorrow they are playing any other.

-The request of class choice for both online adventure and rivals is an old tip.
-Voting for the next adventure as well.

They did not implement because they are playing fortnite instead of developing something good for fh4.
Excuse my sincerity.
Forza horizon 4 multiplayer is a failure. The game is full of bugs, one of them is the audio, which until now has not been solved.
Will we send tickets until when?
Let’s have answers when?
Everything that is being discussed here, if sent the ticket, will be implemented?
When will we have the new announcement of features and fixes?
Is this the only new feature we have in multiplayer? It’s over, nothing more?
Will the game have this horrible multiplayer until the release of Fh5?
If you think that way for Fh5, it will in fact be a failure.
This data science is flawed.

It is my contention that the mp they originally gave us is just as unfriendly to casuals. Maybe moreso. I saw the “E for everybody” post. It doesn’t seeem welcoming for everybody when mp is a full contact, amoral, cutthroat moshpit that a large segment of the players avoids like the plague. Things seem more “serious” when people do anything to try to win and have access to multiple unethical strategies. PG might think they are tailoring the game to casuals, but they are really tailoring it to the worst among us.

After ten rounds today I finally broke 2500… though it says I am level 11 (2508) not level 10. This is another rough edge which could do with polishing.

Next round I went up to 2518, still said level 11. Restarting the game makes it show level 10. Bugged.

Next round +1, 2519, game shows ‘RANK DOWN’ and rolls score back to 2500 and level 11. This is a bad bug.

May be of interest… 12 successive rounds where you can see what the score did relative to my finishing position and opposition.

Also you can see the bug where it says you went down a league when you didn’t.

Some of the ‘nice driving’ I’ve seen in ranked free-for-all…

If this game is “E for everybody”, then why does so much of that look NC-17? Rhetorical question.

At least one of those looke unintentional. You slid in front of somebody, went over a jump and ended up wearing a truck like a hat. Most of those looked like felonies, though, worthy of Xbox Live bans … except that’s the kind of mp experience PG was apparently going for.

This behaviour happens at each race. I wonder how you success to earn 2500 points in that conditions. In my case, I stay on rank 20 with only few points that I lose after 1 or 2 sessions.

Sometimes you are lucky and get clean races, sometimes you start in a high enough grid position that you can get away and leave the carnage behind. But too much of the game is dependent on luck and factors out of your control.

I’d like to know how people get to grandmaster… maybe they’ve been playing longer than me (as well as being better skilled) as I’ve only had the game since December. I doubt I have a hope in hell of ever getting to that lofty status but I’d be very happy to get to level 5 even.

Why is free for all ranked adventure always cross country? I just did 6 cross country adventures in a row. What’s the deal?

In fact, if this is what’s intended and were getting hot wheels toys, they should put Dick Dasterdly’s car in the game and let us put down oil slicks, and let us shoot a mac 11 or throw turtles at people.

For some strange reason I’m skeptical that the multiplayer will ever be fixed or improved to an acceptable level - and even if it miraculously was, it would still be full of bugs that ruin it. There’s bugs that have not been fixed in over three months, either because PG isn’t capable or just chooses to ignore them (not sure which is worse). Any other developer would’ve patched them over in a week.

I would say one positive has unexpectedly come out of this update, that is that unranked FFA seems to have cleaner racing than I’ve so far experienced with any of the other modes. I had 2 proper clean races the other day with 2 fast drivers in S2 Winter Dirt of all things, before a hungry wife interrupted me mid adventure.

Having a solo ranked mode seems to have attracted the ‘win at all costs’ mentality people who make up the majority of the wallriders and deliberate rammers.

I think I’m going to leave Ranked Free-For-All Adventure until the end of the Series in 3 weeks’ time.

I’ve played it a lot since it was added to Forza Horizon 4 but in recent times I’ve noticed that I’m getting minimal point gains despite finishing in the upper half of Championships.

I am guessing that at my current League (Rank 9) there aren’t many opponents of a similar League queuing up at the times that I am, which mainly results in me being matched up with “weaker” opponents, thus limiting the potential point gains I can make.

It’s not fun to put in 30 minutes of racing effort, dealing with rammers and wallriders, only to get +10 points (or worse, lose -50 or more for a bad run of results) at the end of it.

Hopefully this time next month there will be more people who have Ranked Up so that I can get queued up more often with equally-matched or stronger opponents.

I think the points depend on your rank and the rank of opponents.
If you’re rank 10 and you win against a lot of rank 3, you’ll win more points and ranks 3 player will lose some points.

Yeah the trouble at the moment as PJTierney says is there aren’t many higher ranked players to play against. I’ve only seen players of single figure ranks a handful of times. In my last round I (rank 10) had all 12-14 and a few unranked players. I won the championship and ended +10. Doesn’t even matter how good you are imo, the best player can have bad luck hitting a tree or rock in freeroam rush and lose places to ‘lesser’ players. The game can be a great leveller like that.

I’ve not even delved into Ranked as the Unranked FFA I tried the other night with 2 friends irritated me so much I shut the game off and went back to FH3, but if it’s anything like a poker game I play with ranked series that begin the start of every month is a lot of people will get to the rank they are happy with very early and then stop participating as to not lose points therefore the pool of high ranked players shrink. I can’t confirm this but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is going to be the trend.
