It’s ruined the game for me. I enjoyed choosing the class to race in. Every class in one race doesn’t work for me. If this is permanent, I need to start looking at other games/consoles.

Huh?
You’ve got tons of options to choose from
-
Open Multi: always offers C/B/A/S
-
Cycled Open: rotates classes daily
-
Open Class: rotates weekly
Between that and the other 5-7 hoppers they run weekly, I don’t think there’s a shortage at all
At no single point has there been a dedicated hopper for each class running simultaneously
He is referring to how it used to be where all the hopper classes were open and you can choose from any of them. There were no rotating. If you wanted to play a certain class you could jump in online and play that class. It should go back to the old way for sure. You should be able to race the class you want and not have to wait a week or a certain day to race.

I do agree with you on this. It should go back the way it was in all previous Forza 2-6 was this way. Not sure why they decided to change this

The current model provides enough race length variety while making do with the low player count.
If they had two hoppers for each class—one for short races and one for medium—on top of all the other spec and featured hoppers, you’d likely have 3-4 players in a lobby on average at best, especially for the fringe PI classes like D and X.
The current model funnels a larger number of players into each lobby, which clearly needs to stay that way, since current lobbies are surprisingly filled despite the meager player base.

Didn’t realize you were brand new to the game
Your wording made it sound like they changed FM23’s hopper system

Multiclass sucks (no competition and also sport tyre meta = different tune
Daily cycled class… Not gonna open up game just to see that it’s not my class today
Weekly rotation on one class… Hmm maybe I just want to play different class today?
Multi’s easily one of the most consistently clean and interesting hoppers, also, is street/sport tire meta supposed to be a bad thing? Way more interesting than boring soft tire abuse builds.
You can vote for it in that thread, I certainly won’t lol
I’d rather have bigger lobbies with the handful of players we have at the moment
Yeah multi is clean… Cuz u race alone lol, every time I do multiclass race I just drive by myself… (In c/b/a class)
Unless some random in s class rams u off track

Aw, that sucks. Must be your region and time of playing. I’ll usually have mostly-filled lobbies. I wouldn’t mess with it either if it was empty in my area
The amount of intentional ramming is legit non existent when I’m in those lobbies. Way less than the short races

Lobbies are filled… But
There is like 50% players in s class
While players in other class that I usually drive are way too slow for me. So it’s just boring.
Also about sport meta, personally I prefer sport tyre tunes, but the thing is… I don’t want to make 2 different tunes for each car, just because there’s soft meta in short races.

Just wing the tunes if you’re concerned about being too fast for everyone lol
In my experience(s), Featured Multiplayer multi-class races have always been even more dirty than single-class because there’s a lot more passing since the car groups are different paces - and most players don’t pass safely or allow themselves to be passed safely.
In multi-class races, I almost always get drivers in faster classes slamming me out of their way, along with drivers in slower classes intentionally blocking.

Anyway the point is, this game forces u to play what u don’t want to play…
If they added all classes available all the time, with game release, there would be no problem with empty lobbies, cuz there would be more players overall (Many players don’t play this game because they can’t do what they want).
It’s like going to Nurburgring, for a drive in rental 911, but there’s only golf available.

Yeah, I recall us having completely different experiences in these hoppers
My best replays come from multi; lot’s of respect for space in my experiences. Feel like everyone’s driving with high blood pressure in those shorter ones
There’s no evidence to substantiate this though
I could argue that it’s just as likely to spread the already-thin player base further to the point that retention would drop due to low average per-lobby player counts
Maybe if the game had 5x the user base
But agree to disagree!
Well, me and my friend for eg do only races in B/A class. So if it’s not available, we just don’t play this game… I bet there are more players like me lol

I’m sure there are some like you, and I’m sure there’s tons of people that don’t want to play in empty lobbies in other classes, hence why they funnel the users they have into a limited set of hoppers
Maybe if there were at least double the users, they’d have more permanent hoppers, or another set (or two) of rotating hoppers
The game desperately needs more players to function
