Hosting online public lobbies?

Forza Motorsport Legacy Motorsport FM7 Discussion

I switched to Xbox and Forza 7 recently from PS4 GTsport as Forza seems to have a much better car selection, looks and sounds great, and the customisations are incredible in comparison.

My only problem is I can’t seem to find out how to host public lobbies. In GT and Pcars I met a great group of racers over time by hosting open lobbies, we all stuck to the rules and were clean racers. Anyone who joined and misbehaved was kicked.

I am able to host private lobbies on Forza 7, but that’s no good when you don’t have a crew. I have joined some of the public lobbies and my god it’s carnage, a free for all, not many people seem to care about clean racing. As there is no host, there is no one ensuring the offenders are kicked. Kick votes don’t work when half the lobby like messing about.

How do others meet like minded racers and build up a good group of friends they can then host private lobbies with?

Forza 7 is miles ahead of GTsport in every way except the lobby system which is a real shame. Are there any plans to introduce hosting public lobbies?

Can I add to that we’re in the UK and just looking for like minded drivers…

Forza does not have this feature anymore. Many of us would like to see it return. Forza Motorsport 4 was the last Forza to have this feature on the Xbox 360. T10 is silent as to why it was removed as game feature or if it will ever return.

It seems crazy not to have public session hosting in an age when online gaming is more important to most than campaign mode.

this forum is about as close as you’ll get to custom public lobbies. they won’t talk about it because they have no reason to not have it. HAVE FUN IN THE SOCK’EM BOP’EM HOPPERS!!!

Simple answer, they don’t.

That would have to be done with the forums or through social media channels. But it’s not going to happen in the Hoppers.

I assume that Turn 10 did the hopper thing, because of the amount of server space custom player lobbies took.
