Sounds like you’re getting to them late. If you’re early you’ll see how many people are there. Usually at least 8 in my experience. Got the achievement for 3 consecutive Forzathons last night.
Nope simply not true. In the last time ive been there 3-5min before the event starts.
And still doesnt answer the question why a group of 4-4 have to do the same thing as a group of 20. Becouse you really have to be stupid or an absolutely mad a-hole to give the work of 20 people to 2-4
thats not how it works. I played the heck out of forza lives up untill i burned out a month or 2 ago. I was doing most forza lives on the hour and I would often be there before the 5 min alert came up. And yet even when there was a full load of people there I would be removed from that session and shifted into a solo session the moment the event started.
It happened more than it should have, the way they set up the phasing and server sessions is broken and the even balance does not exist. A certain drift zone that has a 4 MILLION point requirement for 15+ people has the same 4 million point requirement if it tosses me into a solo event. Its a straight up waste of time and I have quit events (and exited the game entirely) before when its done that to me. I’m certainly padding no metrics for a net loss reward!
Nope, you can be sitting there with 10+ people waiting watching them do quick chats and drift around and stuff then the voice over starts “Forzathon live starting in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 GO!” and suddenly EVERY. SINGLE. CAR. thats was there… fades away into nothingness…
All whisked away into a session thats ensured success while you sit there, and run the speed trap or drift zone by yourself, resigned to get no more than the first round done, 15 minutes for 10-20 forza points while those other guys who didnt get shafted will get thier 60 in less than 10 mins
Yeah, it’s sometimes bad. For instance, I started the same Forzathon with my friend but he did another one with different attractions The same is normal when you waiting with 10 people and after start you are alone only. Usually I start with few people and then 10 other appear. Probably some fine tuning is missing.
Only once have I been doing a Forzathon live on my own. The 3rd Forzathon for the achievement last night started with about 10 and ended with 3 of us, it was close but we were able to complete the motorway speed trap after the 3 minutes left warning. I think the others quit thinking it wasn’t possible.
I am not sure I agree. Yes some of them you can get done with 3, but others (one that requires 3 million drafting skill comes to mind) just can’t be done. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t complain about it. I mean it’s am driving game, so I drive providing others are doing the same.
Lately, I’ve been finding that there’s only two or 3 people showing up to the waiting area, but then once the Forzathon actually begins, something like 20 cars show up out of nowhere. I think we’re getting merged with players from other sessions, which makes it a whole lot easier.
I had an unusual live event yesterday. I was at event early, by the beach. Several cars there.
As I wait on it to start I’m usually Skilling and it was saying live starts in 5, 4 3 etc and I’d just crossed out of event circle. It continued count down as I looped around to get back in the circle, then it shows way to speedzone. There was myself and one other person, no one else on map… Never had that happen before.
I’ve showed up late, missing first round completely and catch 2nd and 3rd with lots of people, finishing it and getting the 60 points.
