What is preventing players from successfully creating & playing custom PG Events such as King & Infected
You may have noticed a lack of custom made Playground Games maps within the community but this is because of the issues listed below.
-
Extremely difficult to find PG events in comparison to EventLab or Super 7 since there is no direct menu system to access PG events from the pause menu.
Drive to PG location on map > select custom event (king/infected/etc) > PG Creations > Search Events > Enter Sharecode
If you type the PG event Sharecode into EventLab or Super7 nothing will appear. -
Currently when creating a PG Event you have no idea where cars / flags will spawn so you’re building blindly, additionally no tools allow you to set custom spawns
-
The timer, there is a bug when playing the custom PG event, when the creator plays the game he timer is set to 10minutes… however if the shared PG event is played without the creator in the game the map auto defaults to 5minutes despite the game setup for 10minutes when it was created.
-
Spawn Locations, currently there is no way to know where car spawn points are or player objectives such as flags, it would be beneficial when creating an event to have some sort of icon to display spawn points or player objectives and even have the ability to move them.
-
teleport bug, If the player is in the stadium and decides they wish to start an event at the aerodrome it will not teleport the player to the aerodrome and instead will spawn the player at the stadium when the event starts.
-
Arena Props, When you open the PG events editor you will find that all existing PG event props spawn in to the arena making it near impossible to create a custom event amongst the already existing props, my suggestion is to allow a blank canvas when creating a PG event.
HOW WILL IT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY
Players love playing King / Infected / Flag Rush but like most things it gets stale when playing the same maps over and over again, so why not have the community keep it fresh with brand new maps to engage the community, This is a great opportunity for live streamers to further engage with their communities hosting these custom events on Forza.
Let’s just use our imaginations and imagine playing infected on an overgrown city map with highways, Transporting players to new environments in this exciting online experience.
COMMUNITY EVENT HUB BRIEF IDEA
A brand new HUB where players can drive up to like the hall of fame to enter a brand new menu system designed around player created content. EventLab / Playground Games / Super 7 all in one place with new TAG system allowing the creators to select if this is a “solo” or “multiplayer” event.
