The November 6 content update will remove Prize Crates and add the new Race Shop feature.
The Race Shop is a one-stop location to pick up Mod Cars, Driver Gear suits, and Badges, using in-game credits. The combination of offerings resets every 6 minutes, shown by an on screen timer. You can access the Race Shop from the home menu, from the Driver Gear menu, and from pre-race setup menus where you apply Mods.
Turn 10 is looking for feedback on the feature, so once the update installs tomorrow (regular ETA is 10am Pacific), try it out and let the Race Shop team know what you like about the feature.
Actually, is the reason to keep some atenttion on it. Without that reset /random factor, we will just go on there buy whatever we want and never come back.
To someone like myself with 160 million credits and nothing to spend them on, a full catalogue of options would see me in the race shop 1 time only.
At least this way it will give me something to do while waiting for a race to start in multiplayer and I see this as a much better option than the prize crates.
Maybe it’s a better feature if you don’t own anything yet, but for someone who owns all but 20 suits it sure is a stupid change that just replaces one dumb feature with an even dumber one. What am I supposed to do, just keep the store page open for 48 hours and check every six minutes? Who comes up with these ideas as a result of listening to the community? Take note of GT Sport to see how to do it right.
It should support the player, not annoy him. It’s literally the same mechanic as the specialty dealer with a more annoying time limit. If this is the idea of making Forza great again, it failed miserably.
Why do you need to grab what you don’t have, all at once?
I’m shy about 30+ suits. I’m still taking suits at level up. I’m close to level 800. First time in race shop, I had option to buy one suit, bought it, and was on my way. Checked a couple other times, but nothing I didn’t already have
Something to look forward to next time in the game.
To complete it. What is the point of the random items? There is none. All it does is force me to enter shop, scroll through the list, then quit out annoyed. You spend less money now, but you have to spend way more time. It’s really just a prize crate every six minutes where you can see the content before the purchase. It’s a silly system because it doesn’t even make you play the game more. It just wants you to waste time in the menu.
To give you an idea on how much time you have to spend: I have gotten four suits over the last two days. A well designed feature would make sure not to even show items to the player that he can’t buy.
How!!! It has been many months since it last offered me a suit at level up, but there are well over 100 suits I don’t have. How are you still being offered suits at level up when you only have 30 to go?!
Ya I was wondering that, too. The only level up prizes I’ve gotten lately have been cash, cars (and even those seem to be waning; they’ve pushed that godfrosaken ripoff Lykan on me for what feels like the last 20 level ups) and mod cards. I’m around level 400, and you’re still getting suits at 800??!?! Unless you’ve been taking cars, mod cards ad CR up until now?:
I like the new race shop. Its gonna help me collect the remaining suits. I havent played online just yet so I dont know how the new collision system is working #kudos
Big fan of the new feature. Already I find myself checking it before and after almost every race, and for some reason I have an easier time dropping big CR on driver gear than I do on cars.
This is definitely a HUGE improvement over loot boxes. The only problem I have is my OCD is triggered when I do a long race and missed a few rotations I can’t help but think I missed suits I really wanted. Not to mention how many rotations I miss when the game is off.
I would improve this by making more items in the shop and rotating every 24 to 72 hours. That would solve my issue.
This also begs the question, now that most cars are unlocked. Does this feature unlock most suits? Specifically the Forza game numbered suits?
Haven’t played Forza 7 for ages due to Horizon 4, but thought I’d check out the update and love the race shop, I have dropped about 12 million credits since 7pm last night on driver suits…
Logged in to fm7, checked race shop. There was a no requirement legendary 100% credit boost card, so I bought it. (Only let’s you buy one at a time) it was only legendary offered at that time.
Go out of race shop with 2 minutes until change over. Decided I wanted that card on another account. Quit the game, log in to other account, launch game. When I get to main screen, there’s 20 seconds left for turnover
Go in and that card wasn’t available, there were 2 legendary cards that I didn’t have interest in though.
Just thought it odd, would have figured the items would be rotated the same for everyone. Doesn’t matter, just odd.
