Ok, now it’s going crazy.

@Manteo Max
First: You get the Bentley 4.5 in storymode, the 8 Litre is a 1.5 million-credits car.

But second: You said, the challengelist would be an additional way to get cars. That’s not true. You get only one car in the old way - but you the playground-games challenge for the Hoonigan RS200. All races only give you (Super-)Wheelspins.

Before the update: You got 3 cars plus/minus while driving in races. Now you have 3 cars, but you have to do the playground-win for the first one, 50% of everything for the second and 100% to get the third one. This is not an additional way to earn cars, it’s a new way including more work.

Oh, and 750 FP for a Golf …

Next thing: If have allready done several races in the next weeks and even one trial! So PG is repeating all this stuff from now on. Was this communicate before?

You are wrong on the first bit. The Bentley 4.5 Litre is a barn find. The 8-litre comes from the British Racing Story Mode, but it is also available in the Autoshow.

“Note that #Forzathon Shop prices have increased” Ridiculous, i’m sick of this increase every damn week. It’s beyond a joke now, Forzathon events are boring and aren’t worth completing because they’re repetitive and you have to wait for a long period between events which is another reason it sucks.

650 FP Car: 1931 Bentley 8-Liter (existing Story Reward model)

Pathetic, a car you can get as a story reward being used when you could have given us the Ferrari 812 or Lamborghini Aventador 16…you know, cars people actually want.

750 FP Car: 2010 Volkswagen Golf R (existing Exclusive model)

Insane FP price for a garbage tier car.

Do you even listen to player feedback, this isn’t Destiny so quit increasing the damn grind.

The Ferrari 812 Superfast was in the Forzathon shop the second week the game was out. A lot of people either weren’t playing the game yet or hadn’t made the Horizon roster (me) in order to open up the Forzathon shop. I don’t understand why they haven’t made this car available again. Meanwhile people want 20m credits for it. It’s ridiculous.

Also agree on the '16 Aventador SV. I mean that car should just be in the autoshop at this point. That car is available in every racing game with no issues. This one they make it a rare car to obtain. It’s ridiculous.

Ok, sorry then. I haven’t found the Bentley in the linked list and haven’t completed the storymode. My fault.

Do you want me to clear all these events?

PG is really crazy.

Well I refuse to do anything that involves multiplayer so I can say goodbye to both 100% completion rewards before we even start. I usually do the seasonal championships so I might get the other two.

Still, it seems odd that the amount of cars available to be won per season hasn’t really changed, but the busywork required to get them has increased. I love this game, but sometimes I log in on a Thursday night and feel like the developers are turning it into a chore. Once the weekly stuff is out of the way I start to relax and tinker with the game and begin to enjoy it again for the sandbox it is.

Sure I could point blank ignore the weekly stuff, but there’s sometimes interesting stuff, and I’m not a massive petrol-head, so I don’t know whether some of the cars will be enjoyable for me or not. I thought the weekly stuff would be a good thing for the game, but I’m starting to feel that it’s very much the opposite. The season change I like, but what the developers expect people to do on a time limit is really starting to become tiresome.

Having a few seasonal championships with good rewards was enough for me. Having all prizes available regardless of whether you played the events solo or PvP was great. Now things get locked behind the more niche aspects of the game that many players simply wouldn’t do if not for the prize, and don’t do when there isn’t one. It’s not encouraging people to step out of their comfort zone, it’s just creating resentment for the developers. Which is a shame as they’ve actually got the foundation of a very good game.

This is a new Exclusive model, no?

[Mod Edit - thanks for catching that, edited - MM]

If the stuff in the forzathon shop doesn’t suit you …just save your points until the next season - eventually something desirable will come around … probably :slight_smile:

PR stunts I find a challenge … speed traps too … and a bit of racing - yeah why not?
However TBH I can’t see myself doing the playground games … so it looks very unlikely I will be getting any 100% completion bonus … hey ho

But saving points forces the price up.

15

TBH I don’t believe it does.

16

It does, they have confirmed prices are based on the average of points that people have saved.

When questioned about the Forzathon shop price increase, the devs specifically said that they set the prices based on the average FP balance among the playerbase with no regard for how many FP a player could realistically earn in a week.

So yes, saving up points apparently is responsible for the price increase.

18

So screw the people that don’t have a lot of FP because they either have been using their FP or haven’t cheated to have a large amount of FP. I saw someone the other day saying they had 100,000 FP. How is that even possible without cheating?? There is no way someone has that much time on their hands.

19

This is absolutely ridiculous. I have several thousand FP saved up because 1), the majority of them couldn’t be used because of the previous garage limit, and 2), since they finally fixed the limit, I still rarely spend FP because I already have everything they put in the shop. Basing the prices on the player average is just insane because it doesn’t take into account WHY players have FP saved. The prices are also artificially skewed because I am certain that, just like with real money, the majority of saved FP is help by a small percentage of players.

Since FH4 was released, I have only had a couple of issues I have been complaining about, and more or less silently accept other problems as long as they don’t affect my gameplay too much. However, this new playlist is really pushing me into the “I don’t like the game so much anymore” category. I know that some things are relatively unchanged (like normal seasonal events), but I hate the idea that you can’t get 100% completion without participating in team adventure and rivals (two game modes that I rarely use). I have avoided team adventure mainly because of how long it takes just to quality (10 sessions of 5 events each = 50 races just to get in), and now it’s a requirement to get an exclusive car at the end of the month?

Oh, and get this…I just did the monthly Rivals event, and playlist requirement says “post a clean lap to complete”. Ok, did that, and guess what? Didn’t show as complete. :confused:

EDIT: Had to do the monthly Rivals event twice to get it to show…also, where did that 2019 BMW Z4 come from? It must be an upcoming release since it has a listing in the AH, but not in the autoshow.

I have 2200 FP because I own all the cars and all the clothing. The only reason i’d even use them is if something new is added. So the inflated prices dont bother me
