Yep same here I can access other championships but the hotwheels mustang, the one that really mattered to me is locked.

Very excited for the HW Mustang! Probably wont use it unless it comes up in weekly event, I do enjoy collecting new cars

Were they not talking about the next series though?

Fortune Island is done. They had 12 new seasonal events. If you have done these, they will be always set as “complete”.

Content not available. This content is unavailable because it has not been downloaded. Please connect to Horizon Life to download it.

Sure, Im connected…

Maybe, I don’t remember exactly what was said, and I don’t feel like going through an hour of video to find out. It’s possible I mis-heard.

Jumping a Speed Trap? This could get interesting… :wink:

Wow that’s a lot of grinding. A bit disappointed, too; when the update stream said they were introducing Street Scene into the seasonal content, I was expecting a seasonal championship.

That’s not really grinding
Its a weekly event
Just because it cant be done in 30-45 minutes doesnt make it a grind…you have the whole week to do it

Oh and the races are barely 2 minutes long

You might have a whole week free to do it. I’ve usually got about 4 hours. Maybe 8 if there’s something to entice me to dedicate some extra time and effort to this “old” game. I usually log in to tinker with the new DLC cars, knock out the weekly, grab what I don’t have from the Forzathon Shop, and call it a day well spent. Yestreday I played with the van and mustang, looked at the Shop and said “nope”, looked at the weekly and said “I rarely did that many races in a row when I was actively playing, and then likely on a day off.” They seemingly increased the tedium without increasing the income, and then made the income essentially worth less in the shop. For me it’s a motivation killer.

That old van was fun, though. And I liked the mustang more than I thought I would.

If you don’t have the time, don’t do it. But really, really, please stop asking for lowering the requirements for some challenges. They are called “challenges” for a reason.

Oh, I have only 60 seconds to play in 6 months, but of course I want all the goodies.
Oh look, I can’t drive for [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D], but I still want all the rivals bounty rewards and I really don’t want to work towards it.

Then you watch the Microsoft adaptive controller commercial and those kids who could really complain say “I want to be challenged, isn’t this the whole point of gaming?”.

This is not against you in particular, but against the whiney attitude of some “gamers” these days.

I like the challenges they force me to use cars I otherwise would not. You call the game “old.” To me it’s not old and I focus only on Forzas whereas you seem to dedicate your time to other games. Forzathon shop prices I’d think were increased to reduce players purchasing twenty Type-R’s and selling them. Seasonals actually keep it from becoming old for me because usually get just enough in to complete those and there are still events on the main map as well as fortune island that haven’t been touched as well as 3/4 of the garage (spend too much time tuning and not driving when I’m able to play).

Win 11 events, when previous weeks was more like 3? Yeah, that’s a lot of grinding.

Because it sounds better than “Busywork” in the same way Achievement sounds better than “Pointless Goal.”

The point of gaming is to relax and have fun. That will, of course, mean different things to different people.

I can’t play the seasonal Coop-Championships in my Convoy for some reason. It says: “This feature is not available in convoy.” Is it supposted to be like this? Me and my crew enjoyed playing the championships together.

Not especially excited for another weekly event with a Mitsubishi, and the events do not excite me in the least.

I will probably just do 4 Live Events instead, which usually take less than 10 minutes and are a lot more fun for me.
