I like that Playground games removed traffic effecting you in speed zones ETC, and thank god for that, but what is with the traffic in ‘the world’s fastest rentals’ missions? Its literally the same thing, and whats worse is that its random, I have been doing the cinque mission time and again to get the 3 stars but because of traffic being a random occurrence, its frustrating, there was 1 time I pulled out of the street(from the starting location and turned right and then a tram slammed right into me, and because the rewind mechanic is a hit or miss, it could not rewind before that, there were also a few times, I collided, and if I use the rewind, it rewinds to the moment of the collision
I agree that it is a bit stupid to have random traffic in those missions with a (sometimes hard) time limit to complete them. It makes them feel unbalanced. However, those missions are basically your only shot at completing the daily Forzathon where you have to get two “thread the needle” popups.
Thread the needle is what I was going for and I found the traffic to be sticking to the rules of the road too much to get opportunities to do it - for instance on the dual-carriageway sections every traffic car was sticking politely to the left hand lane only - no one overtaking or using the second lane - so the only opportunity to get threading the needle was going diagonal between them when they got to a junction.
But I’m very glad they ghosted them from speed and drift zones
Ha! If you want bad, I completely nailed the first part of the Veneno mission in ‘Worlds Fastest’ only to get roadblocked by the damn steam train right near the end!
