PG if you do not have content to fill an hour long stream, then why are you wasting everyone’s time with boring nonsensical updates and gameplay? How about fixing the underlying issues first, and then start dosing additional content (the majority of which is useless either way at this point). A good starting point would for you to start checking the Forum entries (which you are obviously omitting for whatever reason), and listen to your community.
This! This is what gets me. I do not believe customer is always right. In my business, the customer is often wrong. But… The customers opinions often have merit. Which back to routes.
There was drama for routecomp. The players who participated were put last.
Comments from the community challenges. People have liked, others have not.
Last stream challenge. A limited use novelty
So over a month of activity and comments from route creators and players. I spend said time giving feedback positively to help others make routes. Show how much potential fun is in custom routes. Just doing custom route damage control that PG should be doing.
And they once again feature a race that is my past comments.
PG! It is an open world game that now allows people to have races that showcase that! Do you not understand how much you are shooting yourself in the foot when the only featured events ever are stress inducing, limited option hardcore races in a game most attractive to fun and casual racing?
I mean us route creators are giving you on a gold and diamond embellished silver platter free strong game experiences for the playerbase, and…??? I just dont know. It is free good times for players that is being waylayed for… reasons?
No no no, they’ve been too busy working on the wall ride fix for the last 3+ months to fix any other issues. But thankfully just before release, someone took a car over a jump and they realized that they couldn’t release the fix. But hey at least we won’t be able to get XP from watching Mixer streams anymore!
Aha, finally, in the stream with Mike Brown, custom adventures are coming, sounds like we’ll be able to choose class, discipline, with/without freeroam rush, with/without collisions. They’ll monitor for participation levels and disable any that just aren’t working due to lack of participants.
In the Forza Monthly stream in the part on FH4:
“Gotta keep coming back every day to ensure you get your 100% and don’t miss out on the Ford Capri”
Ugh, as if this game isn’t starting to feel enough like a job already with keeping up with the time-limited weekly events, now they’re tying vehicle rewards to dailies as well?!?
At this rate, I might just be done with FH4 sooner rather than later and just not bother trying to collect all the cars if they’re doubling down on not respecting my time as a player instead of actually improving many of the broken aspects of the game.
Working on the wallride and the expansion. You know thats coming in a month or two. Being pushed into the wall on cross country is a real thing. I can see how that can mess things up. Happens to me all the time
@gamer i’m gonna get that damn Capri and the Rip Rod. Those are the ONLY 2 cars I dont have. I have almost 300 million but i’m not gonna pay 20 million for one.
Stream leave that bad taste on my mouth that i dont even know where to start.
Chat moderation was worst than moderation in north korea.
hour stream and they spent 25 minutes to driving normal races and failing doing pr stunt while hyping that new page that show all seasonal stuff and oh boy do you want FE capri well you need to do every single thing in month period, what include stuff like playground games where is some ****** hat in reward, well you still need to do that. And even worst you need to do broken online, well i guess capri will stay really rare.
Showcase remix, well it’s not make big difference drive warthog in winter versus summer, it’s look more like “lets add more content but dont but any effort doing so”
And like i say month ago “and in next stream they say ops we still havent get wallriding fixed, maybe next month” because testers dont have done any jumps in months are you kidding me. But at least you cant farm influence in mixer anymore oh and lets mention money glitch in stream so everybody can farm heck out off it before patch.
Drift adventure, and i can allready see in mind people crying that formula drift viper is only viable option (and maybe those new mustangs)
And cars, did somebody order 20 mustangs? how many different mustang we allready have? Well at least we get capriolet supra.
Custom adventure comes maybe in update 9, i wonder is there anyone left playing that then.
@vaporisor … told ya bud, you were wasting your time … was I right or was I right?
a very amateur stream, presented by an amateur and bit-part player, that was 95% padding and 5% information.
I’m a bit confused, which is not hard to do…lol
A friend said that there was going to be an update today at 11:00am PST (1400 EST) and showed me a screenshot of a Forza post stating such.
Are we confusing the UPDATE 7 Preview for the actual update? In a thread creates today by Manteo Max it seems to say that Update 7 may take place on or about March 12th…is that correct?
Also, was there any info given as to what all the update will consist of?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Let me get this straight - if we wanty unlock the cars behind the 100%, we’ll have to do everything ? Trials and all ? Don’t you ever know from your mistakes ? Doing a trial event is hard enough with all the neds around, but now we’re forced to do them EVERY WEEK + play multiplayer ? You’ve got to be kidding me. This is already infuriating and I haven’t been rammed into a wall by my own teammate yet.
Cheers PG, you guys really outdid yourselves on this one. Thanks a lot.
Exactly.
Actual update is probably coming just before or just after next season change next Thursday.
It unfortunately is what I hoped wasnt true, but fulfilled my cynical expectations. Cannot even get fundamentals correct from introduction to making a fun game.
Heck. I only had the freebee for anything expected. “Choose something fun for your challenge feature”
Nope. It was a pure freebee. Zero PG effort required outside of clicking feature and doing some races on the clock.
And man. Requiring 100% monthly completion to get something? My goodness!
Thank you!
don’t forget RIVALS, you must complete the Monthly RIVALS [minimum 1 clean lap]
Oh noes, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING IN ONE CLEAN LAP PER MONTH? Dude that is some crazy ass grind! It might take 5 minutes maybe, how dare they?
The forums have really become ridiculous.
You know, at one point video games were supposed to be a challenge.
They are no challenges and neither are they intended to be some. The only purpose of gating cars behind those tasks is to keep the players invested in the game.
“If you want this car you have to log in basically every day to complete this 30 seconds daily challenge” is no challenge, it’s “live service” strategy.
Yes, back when they were intended to shake loose as many quarters as possible from wandering suckers. I’m mostly thankful those days are behind us.
I’d rather have a challenge than the mundane rubbish they’re making us do to get the Capri FE. Suppose, for example, they replaced it all with needing to be top 1% in the monthly rivals to get the Capri FE. I don’t know if I’d manage to get top 1% or not, but I’d have a lot more fun spending hours doing that over the month than I will booting the game up every day to do some meaningless unchallenging rubbish.
Good idea. This should be trivial to implement alongside the current rubbish - perhaps someday they will.
And as has been said, but bears repeating: this isn’t a “new way to play”, this is a menu and a bunch of checkboxes designed entirely to pad their “logins per day” metric. I’m offended; this isn’t even an attempt to design something useful or interesting, it is an overt manipulation to boost silly metrics. They probably are reporting just logins per day, not duration or duration trends.
And great communication on the wall-riding fix… Not a word about how they’ll do it in a way that doesn’t make the meta game “push opponents into wall” - leads me to believe that’s exactly what we’ll get. But yay, ghost time trials…
AND Playground events! Which, every time I’ve tried it has been about a half hour time sink only to have the majority of my team quit and leave me with zero chance of winning. What a dreadful slog this is going to be, 100% of everything for an entire month is so beyond stupid. Sick for a couple of days? Too bad! On vacation for a few days? Too bad! My actual job doesn’t even require THAT much endurance.
I could understand it if it wasn’t time gated. Like, here’s a list of a lot of things you have to do to earn X prize and it’s up forever. But I will never understand why a “live” service always has to mean exclusively temporary content! Add a new thing and let us play it whenever! I mean, could you imagine if you had to have been logged into your NES system on March 27, 1987 in order to play the second level in Mario and no one ever got to play that level again after that? Or if you had to have smashed 50 goombas a day for the entire month of December 1989 in order to unlock Luigi? What a ridiculous farce this industry has become.
