Underdog Achievement Boosting Signup

[Hieronymus1967]

Right then, here you go.

@Hieronymus1967

Well, we’ve got the same really, really, really difficult achievement in FM7 as we had in FM6. In a 24 person online race, start in 24th position on the grid and win the race.

Apparently, some of you would rather get an achievement for getting to the top of the stairs instead of summiting Everest but that’s a subject for another day.

So, what are the options?

1. Sit around here on the forums, moping about an achievement that isn’t going to change, posting continuously about how unfair life is treating you, etc. (For the record, this isn’t an actual option and is only here for comparison purposes. More importantly, if this has you disappointed, just wait until you start voting and dating.)

2. Get motivated, get organized and get a plan together. Let’s see some of that energy and ingenuity many of you employ at giving moderators headaches redirected at helping you achieve Forza greatness. Or at least getting this achievement.

You’re going to need to boost this thing and that means you’re going to need to know how to get it done in the most efficient manner and then get some bodies committed to the cause. You’ve got a couple weeks before you guys get to start playing the game for real so you’ll have to wait on determining how best to get it done efficiently.

What you can do is start getting bodies on board and committed and for that, we’ll need a thread, I’ll start it for you if need be and we can move it to wherever is best once the full FM7 subforums are available. The best opportunity to get this done is when interest is at its highest so that means the first few weeks after release as the longer you wait, the less chance there will be to fill a lobby.

Right then, let’s see you guys get cracking and getting it done.

I’ll sign up for now, I can’t make any promises for sessions during the week, but more than likely be able to do Saturday/Sunday.

[a13on]

I’m out.

[PennyWise36One]

Sign me up, this is not my main tag but I am free just about anytime 24/7 and I will make myself available to get this done. Hope it is possible to get in a private lobby this time.

[CRaccoon23]

Right, let’s get this over with ASAP. Count me in.

One thing that needs Turn 10 clarification: Can this be done in a Private Lobby?

Whether it can or cannot will change how people can go about Unlocking it.

Aww come on. It will be fun! Imagine 24 of us regular forum users in one party playing some good old fashioned Forza!

And no, this isn’t sarcasm!

So has anyone been able to test if it can be done in a Private session?

I didn’t attempt this in FM6, but seeing as it’s making a return I’ll have to give it a shot this time. Count me in! I can help with anyone in need, and maybe make new friends in the process.

Sign me up. US central time, and likely only on weekends

[Shaymin82]

Sign me right up!

I never even attempted this in Forza 6 but I’d like to have it under my belt this time around.

I’m UK time, but should be able to do most times any day. I’ll keep an eye on this thread to keep updated on any plans for release, but feel free to message me if anyone needs an extra player to fill up any lobbies when the time comes!

I’m up Too, i’m italian but i will join at any time during sunday cause it’s the only day i’m not working!

[SWYD1]

I can’t believe they added that horrible achievement again. it took several weeks to get it in FM6.
To get it just register on TrueAchievements and join a gaming session, that’s way better and more organized.

[AudibleJam509]

Might as well sign up myself. Never bothered with the last one in forza 6. Not sure why it’s back for this game…but I’ll be on, on the 29th. I’d like to get this out of the way ASAP.

Sign me up. Playing through some of the older games to rack up rewards and finding it hard to reach Tier 11 without buying no-longer-existent DLCs or having players online to unlock achievements. Would like to try and complete the circle on at least one of these games.

If that’s your goal, don’t bother with this. All you need is 1000 GS in the game, doesn’t have to be the 1000 GS of the main game. It’s easier to do the relatively easy 900 there and then get the rest from the first addon.

[RDWinters1944]

Sign me up too. My timezone is CEST and I’m getting the standard edition, so no early access for me. I also think that making this “boosting event” on weekend will be a sweet spot, since we all have a jobs, school etc. and different timezones shouldn’t be too much of a problem on Saturday or Sunday

Sign me up too.
