Really, folks? Hot Wheels vehicle gating?

I can understand working your way up from rookie to S2 in races and events, but not even letting us drive and explore the map in our favorite cars without getting some bogus license first?

Come on, this is super ridiculous. Who wants this? In an open world game, no less…

Sorry, but this is super short-sighted development and a cheap way to force people to play content. Maybe I don’t want to race right away. Maybe I just want to explore, see what’s what, without using something that takes a week to make it around the map. Please fix this asap.

I agree, I thought it would just be during races but we are even locked in open world, why would they do this.

God Bless

Yep I do not like it! I prefer to discover all the roads first, it would take literally all day in B class. Not cool!!

What’s it like on another planet?

nah, but it’s a sizeable map that, given its loopy, crazy nature, would be a lot more fun with our top tier cars.

It’s just more forced progression, rather than a real “expansion” of what already existed… Calling this an “expansion” is straight nonsense.

It doesn’t bother me. We will get to explore the map in due course.

I sure did hear a lot of players claiming they wanted progression like starting out in low class cars and working their way up.

Guess that’s not what players really wanted. They actually just wanted something to complain about. Kind of like how many players complained about snow in FH4 and complained about the lack of snow in FH5.

Sure, maybe those weren’t the same players but you can see how it’s a no win situation for PG as far as this community is concerned. Can’t please everyone.

I’m sort of discovering them now but A class isnt all that fast when this place has X. I would have jumped in the X right away and found them all before starting the races but oh well. I have 70 or so left to find. Many did ask for progression, so i’m okay with it.

I’m enjoying it and like this progression people called for.

I think it’s a good way for people to adapt to the new tracks. Although it is progression so there will be a grind. But there would be a grind nonetheless. At least this way they are forcing us to try different cars across different classes.

So far, I am fairly impressed. The track layout and cornering are pretty awesome and I cant wait to try a larger variety of cars.

The noise that the magnetic parts make is mega annoying -

I wish I fell all the way to Mexico when I flew off track, but hey, cant have everything …

Awwww @PhoenixCat81 I was gonna say the magnetic whirl noise is a little cool when you’re near but not necessarily driving on it. Also, the magnetic tracks are my favorite thing so far, make sure to look around when you drive on them because they have the BEST views. I see alot of the main map down below from those pieces. :fire:
