If this is the case…, then why not have that option with duplicate cars as well (like in FH3)??? It’s really frustrating that Devs think this was a good idea (for balancing their in-game apparent credit system)
& HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE to be rewarded with Credits when receiving duplicate clothing items WHEN IT TECHNICALLY DOESN’T HAVE A MONETARY VALUE???
I’m not saying it didn’t happen, I’m simply just baffled about that…
PS: I don’t recall getting duplicate clothing items (hope i don’t make myself badluck by saying this now)
Problem is, there is too many similar items, that it might seem to some that it’s a duplicate… a SEPARATE clothing shop would’ve been the answer for not unnecessarily invoking this frustration of being forced into this “Project Runway” side, of what i recall to be a Racing Game.
On a side note: it’s weird that PG didn’t rather let us use our Xbox Avatars instead (like some user suggested), like They’re using this utter **** Xbox Club System that omits what we miss the most [Club Ladders…, (for In-Club Competition & Scouting Purposes for Club Owners & Co-Leaders) & Weekly Tier Rewards (which They’ve now taken away to “balance” Their In-Game Currency System].
Just wanted to add: Winning Duplicate Cars is NORMAL & is not expected to be patched for any reason!!! Not having a Quick Sell Option is NOT NORMAL!!! & quite frustrating when u have to go into u’r car list, knowing u want to get rid of the duplicate cars u won in wheelspins, look for the cars & then remove it [if, like me, u have no intention of putting it on Auction or wasting u’r skills perk points on (cos it can reduce very rapidly)]
I haven’t noticed any duplicate cosmetic items. I have noticed it on cars. Not an issue just auction it off. As for cosmetics I have no use for them personally. I’d prefer them not even be in the wheelspins. However my avatar was dressed at the start is exactly the same she will look forever. I just want cash or cars. Not a fan of cosmetics so if I received a duplicate I’d be upset, but I have yet to receive a duplicate.
Golden Running Shorts. Had them equipped and won them again. Checked the clothing menu, said New in the lower right hand corner. Scrolled over the box and New disappeared and the purple check mark indicating I had them equipped took its place. I’m prestige 1 level 9 and still have a ton of clothing left to unlock. And I’m positive I’ve won Galaxy Skirt more than once.
Maybe some of you unlocked a certain clothing piece from your Horizon Life events, example leveling up in Cross Country or whatever, and that clothing-piece could be unlocked from a Wheelspin too? Not sure, would be weird though. But I have plenty of duplicates in cars, most of them worth less than 35k so no one is buying them, figuring I have to delete all of them. Really miss the sell-cars-for-half-price-thingymajog. Would even accept a quarter of the price.
This was never issue until this game. Why did PG decide all of a sudden to punish players by having them be stuck with unsellable cars? I must be closed to fifty duplicate green level cars now.
At this point I am about done until the first expansion arrives (RDR2 this week) but wish I waited till my game pass expired instead of buying the digital download so I could see how broken this slot machine/loot box system is.
Duplicates or not, who cares. That’s not the original point of this thread.
THE POINT… is all the useless stupid cosmetic “rewards” that do absolutely nothing! I earned a spin and should be rewarded with something that actually has an impact on the game - cars, credits. Nothing like earning a super spin where you see a number of great cars and high credit rewards only to get a lame ass pair of shoes, an idiotic horn and a dance move thing. I’d rather get three 1-credit squares than that garbage. Does that crap improve your performance? NO! Do the glittery shoes give a me +1 acceleration? Does the ah-oooga horn cause the driver ahead of me to lose concentration for a moment? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I keep getting all these cosmetic items (horns, clothes, dances) from the hard-earned spins I won but they all seem to be broken. They currently don’t provide any driving bonuses and they can’t be sold or cashed in for credits so I’m guessing there’s a bug or something. I can’t fathom that the developers would have spent so much time and effort to include such completely useless content and then pass them off as a “reward” over far more beneficial prizes like credit and cars. Surely they are suppose to provide an enhancement to gameplay like cosmetic items did in the old Tiger Woods PGA Tour games. Right? Otherwise, in their current broken form, they’re a rather insulting ‘prize’ on par with winning a piece of pre-chewed gum.
A lot of people like them. A lot of people don’t. If you don’t like them ignore them. Just accept that every wheelspin dosn’t give a prize.
I have 200 cars and about 9 million in the bank. I have all the houses and just have the 2 castles left to buy. These are meant to be long term money sinks.
You seem to be one if those people that want everything unlocked day one. Other people don’t.
No I don’t want everything unlocked on day one. I love slowly grinding my way up through levels and unlocking new challenges. I just want the rewards in a racing game to be something that actually benefits the racing part of a racing the game. If people like that useless stuff, great. Have a clothing shop as part of the festival menu where people can buy cosmetic items with the credits they win on a spin. Or let us cash in the cosmetic items for credits. At least in Horizon 3, all spin rewards could be sold if you didn’t want it. Just finally won a hard race on a difficult setting after multiple tries and I win… a freakin bracelet that’s barely even visible when put on. yippie.
Yesterday in the stream they said, no matter how much clothing is in the spins, the chances to get Credits and Cars is the same than in Forza Horizon 3.
Forza Horizon 3 only had credits and cars as prizes in wheelspins. It doesn’t matter what the % split between them was, you had 2 categories of prizes, and it totals 100%. Now add a third category, give it a % of happening, the total must still add up to 100%, so the chance of cars or credits has gone down - which matches what the community is seeing.
Duplicate cosmetic items are happening, and on a super wheelspin I saw the same cosmetic item on two reels on the same spin - 1 was on the winning line left column, the other just above the winning line right column.
Worst case I want to see duplicate cosmetic items stopped, and best case I would prefer to see them split out of wheelspins altogether and put them into shop(s) in the game world - let players that want to spend their cash on the looks they want, rather than relying on RNG to give them the combination.
if you add 2 more posible choices the chances are not the same
in fh3 you have cars or money 50/50
in fh4 you have cars money clothes and horns 25/25/25/25
unless they packed the cars/money clothes/togheter an they give 50/50 chance
Uh no, they could have it the same depending on how it’s weighed.
You get way more credits now than you did in FH3. The most you would get in FH3 is 100k, or 200k with VIP. The most you can get in FH4 is 400k.
If you assume FH3 was 50/50 cars/money, then if FH4 is 12.5/12.5/25/50 horns/clothes/money/cars it’d be the same as in FH3, since you get more money from a single spin.
The duplicate parts. Perhaps some bug? Like others, I see very few items and only gotten one car that I own. That car previously bought. The ponder curious of me is if there is a relation to a certain patched out exploits considering how easily and quickly some folks got everything in these forums.
The side topic, this is supposed to be a playgroundish arcade version. It rains down hundred of wheelspins and if you got VIP house, are getting multiple superwheelspins a day just for a few minutes of driving in circles at a forzathon.
“But I earned”
They are gotten from just driving around. Everybody is getting more than they can use in terms of cars as is. People like myself enjoy the cosmetic, emote, message and horn aspects. It isnt some MLG international Esport. It is chasing sheep around in the snow with a lambo and I see a fair number of people doing that.
The wheels give a person the chance to get an expensive car most people wouldnt buy or might not have the time to farm races. If it became possible for any casual player to buy what ever they wanted after a week or so? It would rapidly become stagnant and consumed.
They have Motorsports for serious realism. Horizons is for a different racing market.
It’s really frustrating that Devs think this was a good idea (for balancing their in-game apparent credit system)
