Should the lowest level Wheelspin prizes be removed?

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH3 Discussion

It’s downright annoying to have worked at levelling yourself up another stage, only to find the prize is a meaningless pink amount.

It’s a let down when you see it stop on the pinks, specially when the next selection is a HE car, and it’s just got me wondering if the Pink Wheelspin prizes should be removed from the spins completely or not.

Yes, the whole point of the system is that you can get anything… but lately it’s been more pink rewards than anything else and i’m finding the allure of the Wheelspin system is being wiped away with each pink prize I get.

What do you all think?

I don’t agree that they should be removed. It adds to the allure of gambling(Which itself is against ToC of Xbox LIVE, but whatever). I have noticed that they’re being landed on more often now since the last update. It’s a bit annoying. Besides leveling up I don’t want to spend 70,000cr for a 4,000cr prize. It’s getting old fast. I don’t mind kiddies, like 25,000 or 45,000. But when it’s always 2,000-10,000 it’s frustrating. So hopefully Merch or someone else sees this.

Yes, lose the 2,000 and 7,000 prizes. Hitting the 2,000, again, after earning 200,000+ XP to earn a spin is a let down. Sometimes it happens several times in a row or a majority over an extended period.

I don’t like getting the pinks either, but it makes the occasional 100k prize that much sweeter when I hit one. Though I’m only mid or high 200s right now (i forget), so the wheel spins are still pretty frequent. I could see it being more frustrating when you have to put in a lot more work to get a single spin only to see it land on $2,000 (“Woo-hoo, VIP! Make that $4,000! Heh”).
I wouldn’t mind them getting rid of the 2k & 4k, leaving the 5k and up though. I still don’t buy spins, because that’s a zero-sum game and I tend to buy cars with my forza-bucks. Again, that may change as my wheel spins slow down.

As for frequency of pinks after the update, I’m not seeing it. I’ve certainly had a streak bummer wheel-spins, it’s just not happening to me right now. Here are my last 10 wheelspin results, 8 after the update (starting with the most recent):

40K
45K
45K
7K
10K
40K
GMC Syclone
35K (chance for Corvette HE)
50K
BMW M?(forgot to record the number)

The last pink I got was 4k when I started recording recults 11 spins ago.

So only one shot at a Horizon Edition car, but not too bad of a payout, especially when doubled with VIP. I’m sure I’ll hit another streak of 2, 4, 5, etc. again, just as I have in the past. Just saying, I’m not seeing an increase in crap spins since the update. YMMV though.

Sorry for the Tolstoy.

I feel it should be level based. With the minimum award being 50-100 times the level.

You can own every car in the game way before level 1000 so no i think the wheelspins should be left as is.

I would love it if the lowest wheel spin prize value was 70,000cr, but the way it is now is just fine.

I can completely see the OP’s point. It is a little frustrating when you reach for example level 500 and get rewarded 2000 cr. But as others have said it makes winning a HE car or 100k cr all the more sweet. So I’d say leave it as is.

What I am miffed about is the 20k cr increase for buying spins!

the pinks should be removed for 70k i sent 5 mil on wheel spins and got nothing

I think it should be a skill perk. 10 skill points to remove pink rewards from wheelspins or perhaps just increased “luck”.

Nope.

This is also not gambling because real money is not involved.
And if it was it would need to be able to net money back to be gambling.

In the greater scheme of things we get so much money from so many places, pink spins are disappointing but never really a setback.

They’re a bonus after every few races, not your main source of income.

I am about level 903.

It takes me 2 laps of Goliath to level up (on average).

For that I get about 250k from the race.

I already own 1 of every car and in a few days I earnt the credits needed to buy all of the new HEs off the auction house.

For high level players they should not be hard up for credits anyway.

Also I would not want higher level prizes every time as it would minimize the enjoyment when a good prize came up.

As it is now an HE car on the spin is simply to go on the Auction House anyway.

I do not get why high level players would be complaining about this,

Absolutely. Their presence on the wheel makes no sense. Increasing the cost of the wheelspins by 20k makes no sense. How would it hurt anything, logically, if you removed the prizes below 10,000? What would be hurt? Would the game then be less fun? Or would it be less frustrating? I think its an amazing game overall. The only things I’m a little miffed about are things like these. I just don’t understand the thinking…

Yes, they should be removed. Anything undert $50k isn’t worth the time.

Yeah especially when ya at level 500+. It’s annoying to win a mere 2k after 70k XP. It’s pure, absolute sh*te.

Then don’t buy wheel spins. What’s next, removing the competition from races because it’s frustrating when you don’t win, it’s just not worth your time.

Umm this thread is not necessarily about bought wheelspins.

I don’t think they should be removed I just think the rewards could be spread out a little better. I’m not saying load the spin with 1 or 2 of each colour for cr rewards but I have had a fair few spins where pink dominates the potential prizes with like three 2,000s and 5,000s and barely any others. Maybe just a better balance across the board would be better.
