That is so stupid that it is probably correct :smiley: (I know it’s the case for some of the other challenges.)

This would be typical for them.

I have no intention of spending my forzathon points on something that I have no reason to believe will even work.

Bah Humbug

ditto… besides I had enough FP after the bonus from PG so why not :slight_smile:

I was also disappointed by the slow or non-movement of the progress bar. But now it’s out of the end curve and into the full straight away… watch it go ! I hope. Part of me isn’t surprised that maybe the community just isn’t into it with all the bugs. Or maybe the idea above that it’s just a timer to make us feel like it’s happening but guaranteed to complete is on the mark. Either way, I’ll be gifting weekly, Christmas and New Years along with the continued Gift Drop of dupilicates. Because, why not :slight_smile: Gift Drops might be (imo of course) one of the best features of the game… though I can see getting tired of getting the same batch of “unwanted” cars recirculating ad-infinatum. That said I am kind of looking for getting that car with " Number Of Owners… 1,000 " Or more… That might be a keeper just because lol

You will have to submit all your cars in your garage to work :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

They need to hurry up and do something because I’ve spent half my shop points (3400) sending out gifts, so if its not counting towards anything I’m gonna stop and let everyone else do the leg work.

Gifted 10 cars last night…

Nope, did jack all.

yay bug.

What part of “2 per week” you do not understand?

Several points to note here:

  1. their wording is not quite right.

its says come back next week or christmas day or new years day
im sure if we all did that then we would not accomplish this task!

  1. from their wording I thought it was once a week to get their “secret santa” message before gifting a car …
    but, i just gifted my second car on day 2 and i got the “secret santa” message

now, when i go to gift another car there is NO “secret santa” message

so, does gifting cars(more than 1 a day) really count if you do NOT get the “secret santa” message?

  1. and btw, the progress bar has moved too!

I did a gift drop of a nice car a few hours ago and didn’t get that message. Maybe gift drops aren’t being counted. Who knows. It’s ridiculous how many blatant bugs there are.

36

I think that message is just for the Forzathon Shop gifting. I hope the Gift Drops count, but it won’t stop me doing it. Nice cars included. It beats messing with the auction house. Have they fixed the robbery bug there yet ? I do still need that accolade for selling a big ticket car but other than that… ?

37

Hunh ! Interesting and good question. I had taken them literally and noticed when I tried to access the gifts again there was some similar message to come back in a week or Christmas or New Years iirc.

How about that ! Today I can get the send Gift choices in the menu !

Which brings up another observation/question. Did anyone else notice extra FP in their Series 2 progress ? I’m wondering if it came from sending a secret santa gift ? First time or every time ? Not done enough to be sure and didn’t notice earlier to start tracking. If it is that could explain the higher completion number and be an encouragement to send gifts.

38

And I did more testing and it looks like you can send more than 1 Secret Santa car with its option message a day

Yesterday I got the Secret Santa option message and gifted 3 cars with that option … is this is a bug ?

I am going to try and give 5 Secret Santa cars with the Secret Santa option message.

And that Secret Santa option message is in the normal gift option too not just at the forzathon shop

I do not think just gifting a car counts … i would tend to believe it has to to be the Secret Santa Option when you choose to gift

Programmers who don’t know how the English language works are a bit worrying, as programming is a language itself.

If it isn’t bugged then…

  1. The targets are crazy high or…

  2. A huge chunk of their beloved 10 million players statistic are so tight they wouldn’t even give a door a bang.
