Today I saw someone who was driving a HW Mustang. Now I am pretty sure that no one can get it at the moment or at least until the season changes. Am I missing something or have I just witnessed someone who has managed to get it early through whatever means.
Search how many design there is allready available in that car. Peoples can get that, it’s just different story how legit that way is.

From my understanding they changed their time settings or somerhing along those lines because i witnessed one in the auction house 2 nights ago…
Or the devs are playing funny buggers which is quite possible aswell…
I’d advise that if anyone is thinking of changing their time/settings/day, you make your game vulnerable to breaking some gameplay mechanics and potentially ruining certain aspects of the game which we won’t be able to fix.
If you see anyone with vehicles that they shouldn’t have acquired then please submit a ticket as we can look into the players account.

Well I’m glad I didn’t miss out on it and its going to be released in the future or today. I did take a pic but it doesn’t reveal the persons gamertag so I wouldn’t know if it would of been of any use. In regards to the season change I honestly thought this was server side so I’m surprised to learn that all I have to do is change my time settings and it unlocks future cars. Does this open it up for massive exploitation then and will we be seeing people with cars that are weeks from official being released.
Am I missing something ? how is it possible you need players of an online game you administrate to report players using unexpected cars ? are you indeed sharing that you are not able to find it out by yourself? Not an attack here, I am just word less, thinking I have to be missing some point somewhere.

Yes, we have a dedicated team that look out for anything inappropriate within the game. But when you have 7 million+ players to look through, occasionally a few can ‘slip through the crack’ and get missed. So having players report others does helps us to make sure that this doesn’t happen and that as many rule-breaking players are made aware of.

Well i can give team little tip where is good to start.
Step 1, search design in cars, austin taxi hs, bel air hs and those two senna that are not in the game (funny how many guy have all of those 4, i can bet those are not come through auction house)
Step 2, search design upcoming seasonal reward cars like hot wheel mustang
Step 3, Open leaderboards in every speedtrap and danger sign, as every single one of those top 100 have lots of glitch scores
Just by doing those 3 steps you can catch many cheater and those ways are same that we players mostly notice these.

LOL so out if the 7 million players how many have been stripped for the things they shouldn’t own in game or have set records on danger signs etc that are meant to be physically impossible with the in game dynamics without some sort of fooling around? How many people just tried your pvp event and failed because of people having slightly quicker broadband or on a powerhouse pc this game is far from even stevens. I wish this was just my opinion but the amount of people getting shut down by your customer service teams are ridiculous rather than accept full responsibility for not putting out a complete game and taking on the challenges of a big a** multiplayer that nearly has more problems than all your horizons put together… geuinely i wonder if you look on your servers and search for the hot wheels mustang in peoples inventories how many you might just find yourself without the customer doing your jobs for you.
Just an idea when people have a pvp challenge once players have reached the highest rewards such as the rip rod or twin mills etc they get locked out of the challenge as theres players returning that own the rip rod and were there to safe guard their buddies when matched in the same group i mean how does pvp still become team pvp. This just isn’t thinking of how players can “exploit” your design more or less they just think smarter than half of the creators and devs so who’s actually at fault? Us who pay for all of this to be thought of and tested since this started happening over 10 years ago in games you’d imagine someone would have exp in this area.
My grammar might not be great but thankfully i don’t get paid for something i cant do.

Thanks for clearing this out RK. I/we can help pointing to the good direction.
Yes, as it’s the same as using an inappropriate livery that someone has made. Even though the original source wasn’t yourself, you are aware that this is exploiting game vulnerabilities (in this case, the time travel to access items which are currently not available) and therefore breaking the Xbox Code of Conduct.
Although this isn’t a major issue, especially just buying from the auction house, but the main point would be that the time travel to access such vehicle early could potentially affect gameplay mechanics that we may not be able to necessarily fix.
Then, what should I do, do not use the car before the actual appearance in the game or immediately delete it? Honestly tried to buy a shaker, but this miracle fell.
Thank you for checking. I advise just waiting until the cars appearance is correct in game

When making the game you didn’t think that somebody would change the date? Designing games you are supposed to think of what the players will do.

We have looked into this before, it’s also why you can’t receive car pass cars till a certain date. I’ve now started a discussion around the matter to see if there is a way we can prevent this or at least get a message out to you the players.
But as mentioned, please submit a ticket if you’re unsure or see/know any players regarding this issue.
It is not only futuristic challenge cars that are appearing at the auction, now are appearing Chevrolet Bel Air HS, Austin FX4 HS, McLaren Senna AE, McLaren Senna SE and traffic cars
The producer creates a game and has no control or knows what happens in their auction ?
