So you mislabel an achievement that says complete all seasonal championships but actually you have to complete everything 100% then you release stupid treasure hunts that you can’t do cos it’s glitched so I’ve wasted my time completing everything else up to now. They have known about this all week and today’s hotbox doesn’t fix it so are you gonna give you the 3 points for this weeks treasure hunt as its your mess up yet again
I haven’t seen a treasure chest, and I don’t get the Christmas decorations either.
The problem with accolades is some of the accolades eg. Get 1000 likes and uses for your Vinyl might be out of reach for 99.9999 % playerbase. Same goes for tune and livery accolades. These accolades are strictly for star youtubers whose plain vinyl shapes will be liked by their fans and followers. Even if you put a 100% quality livery, only few people download it forget about likes. It’s usually 1 like per 20 downloads.
This same thing was in FH4’s starcard and same crap has seeped into FH5. Please give accolades which majority can complete not tiny minority.

It’s not YouTubers, I do it without being on YouTube. It’s just people with the patients to sit, and make a good vinyl.
Ok but how are people able to see your stuff?
It’s listed in the last uploaded and in your creative hub… or search via your name and so on
And btw noone is scrolling through the last uploaded list for hours with the speed there
same for the blueprints btw
it gets better listed if ppl play it but how to get ppl before??? its easy with youtube
Forget about YouTube. It’s simple. Make good vinyls. Make and share a lot of them. People will find them. You’ll get a few downloads at first. Then a lot. Don’t overthink vinyl designs. Often, simpler is better. Some of my most popular designs took me about 15 minutes to make. I’ve got designs that took me more than 10 hours with only a few downloads, but I like them and I use them a lot.
No it isn’t ‘simple’. Popular ‘streamers’ and ‘influencers’ will get a lot of downloads from their followers, regardless of the quality of their work. It’s like how certain popular tuners have the most downloads despite their work being unremarkable or even poor. Their work is popular because they are popular.

Nothing to be gained by being jealous of them. Be your own person. Make good vinyls and share them. You’ll eventually get the accolade. Maybe in a month. Maybe in a year. Just a matter of putting in the effort and being patient.
Eh? I’m not jealous of anything, I’m pointing out how it works.

So you wanna say, that YTers don’t have a huge advantage? smh
The more popular ones run often times more than 1 club with 2000 members, but no advantage at all, got it…

Some accolades are not for the players but for the devs to see how the players will play the game at all. Sure there are a wide bunch of statistics ingame, but if you don’t get a carrot hold up to your nose you maybe never realize special things that could be possible.
Yet alone forum threads of players who blame the devs for accolades that not every player type could achieve.
Welcome to the real world kids! Sometimes there are goals you cannot achieve - no matter how hard you are trying. Ask Lewis Hamilton!
As a no-name it’s luck with a bit control (popular car, first mover advantage). I have the 1.000 likes for a tune only because my M4 somehow skyrocketed, although it was a simple friend request and not even min-maxed.
Other tunes where I sink in more time and thought will get low usage numbers.

Yep like I have a tune in FH4 which has loads of downloads and uses, which I only shared here once but it evidently got publicised somewhere or whatever and took off. It’s not a good tune. I just cobbled it together for a PR stunt.
It’s the same on YouTube. I have a few videos with millions of views. They aren’t great videos, I got lucky with YouTube deciding to promote them, or someone linked them somewhere, out of my control. People need to learn that correlation and causation aren’t the same thing. ‘I did A and then B happened’ does not mean B necessarily happened because you did A.
Here you are arguing against the system, but at the same time saying that your stuff isn’t great… so I wonder why somebody who doesn’t make great stuff doesn’t get many downloads? It’s a mystery???
Basically you are saying that luck plays a part, but good videos, and good tunes also play a part.
Most of the top paint downloads are low quality and are top because of first mover advantage and/or because the uploader is a streamer etc. End of story. The advice often given to ‘get good’ or ‘stop being jealous’ is stupid.
This argument comes up again and again, and as usual, some are not bright enough to understand it, some things never change.
Like many others, I don’t have the XboxLive.
There are too many things to do online for the Forzathon, because that, we are never able to get the second price. In FH4 that was not a problem.
I don’t have the Live, so that mean that I BUY the game at full price, I didn’t get it for free and even if I encourage the Dev by buying is game, I have haft the bonus.
It’s very disapointing, frustrating and sad, every new week that I missing some bonus because the Dev don’t care about all types of players destroy my joy for playing this game.

I went to put a design on the RS6 before I used it for the PR Stunt today and one of the most popular designs was literally a black car with black tinted windows and called ‘mafia’.
It had thousands of downloads and something like 500+ likes, for something even the likes of me with zero artistic ability could do.

game was made by playground games
I agree with the first post, I enjoyed FH4 through the ups and downs as they implemented the playlist and eliminator and all, added a ton of free cars, but it is amazing how quickly they have destroyed all of my goodwill from FH3 and FH4 in the first month, almost everything I enjoy doing in the game is now worse and they have doubled down on their stupid online requirements for cars. I’ve said in other threads I went on a holiday vacation and now missed a top wishlist car in the SVJ and with time away I don’t miss grinding all the modes I hate to get cars, this is going to collect dust for me unless they address the bugs and the increased difficulty of the playlist.
it’s a shame that they didn’t seem to learn from FH4 at all and just took many things in a stupid direction, guess this game isn’t for me anymore,

There are lots of possible advantages.
Being in the game and active early
YouTube and other methods
Being good and have some ability to promote your work
The real answer is in the middle of the argument in this thread, it is not the clear-cut one or the other that was being argued.
