Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

Easiest money you can make in the game right now is flipping Moslers. I don't know who is buying them but they sell before you have a chance to pull up a search. I've been buying out any that are 300k or less, grabbing the 200k perk (of which the 15 I've sold have all been available) and selling them back for 352k-400k+ depending on the tuning state.

Edit: Should state I’ve made about 4m in an hour. Spent 500 skill points and I’ve had to stop to earn more. I’ve also got 45 wheel spins from the perk trees too.

Welp. At least I got a few good wheelspins (including a 250K) from all the Influence I banked trying to win that car. I'll probably hold on to the extra until the auction market's less flooded with 'em.

 

[neddyie118]

Luckily I managed to sell my Mosler that I won in the auction.

There seems to be a limit on the number of auctions you can list in a certain timeframe. I’ve sold 22 Moslers in a 3h period and I’m unable to list any more at the moment. Anyone know when this time period resets?

I'll happily accept a gifted Mosler as I tried the event at least a half dozen times. The best my team could do was to win round 2 but lose 1 and 3. I'm not the greatest driver either, so between rubber banding AI and "teamates" that use you as a brake every turn, I had given up on this frustration.

The car should have been in the Forzathon shop to begin with. No idea why it wasn't.

I'll probably end up doing the same thing I did with all the Forzathon exclusive Porsches back in FH3; keep the duplicates for a while and then sell on the auction house. I don't mind getting a second one, but if that's the way they're going to handle the trial prizes, I just won't bother doing them from now on.

 

[maxi25]

Well I guess it's alright that they give it away since apart from having to deal with idiot teammates the AI cheated like crazy. I remember in one of the races I watched as an AI driver flew past, not through, a checkpoint and still fought with me all the way to the finish.

 

[Techlet]

The reaction here (and echoing everywhere else) to the Mosler is one reason why we mere mortals will not be getting the Capri FE any time soon.

 

[sesselpupser]

No idea why it wasn't.

The problem is that, from their point of view, they put money into getting the Mosler into the game so they need some sort of return for that. Keeping player numbers high week after week is clearly important to them (and the shareholders), but putting it in the Forzathon shop means you don't have to do much to get it, meanwhile making it the trial reward means the average player would probably need to try a few times to finally win it - that does keep players playing longer without forcing it too much (like, say, earning several million skill score in a car that won't even drift without a lot of modification), but is chronically not fun for basically everyone.

They've struggled to find ways to keep us engaged throughout the week, the earliest example of that was the 7 million skill score in an offroad car weekly Forzathon challenge. They don't want us to grind through that stuff in a single sitting but we don't want to actually put time into stuff, especially when it's that boring and, apart from the 14 skill points, you don't get anything until it's finished.

It's a difficult thing to work out because they throw cars at you, get you accustomed to it and then have to incentivise you to keep playing - once you've collected all the cars, how do they do that without giving you more free cars? At the same time though, if they artificially locked more cars away to give out later on, people would be just as annoyed by that.

So I can see why they did it this way, but it's not a good solution to what they want to achieve because it just annoys people.

Looking forward to the 4 cars we will be getting on Thursday

 

[ykiki]

Imagine my surprise seeing the Mosler in my inbox this morning... but after reading of peoples' struggles over the weekend, I feel weird driving this car without 'earning' it.

 

[UKMikey]

At least the Mosler finally got me to try out The Trial. I don't think I'll be doing that again in a hurry. I was prepared to wait until it went on sale in the #Forzathon shop but I didn't expect PG to cave so completely. Some people on r/forza are blaming AR12 and his "army" of orchestrating a worldwide whining campaign to convince them to unlock the car for everybody. If so, it appears to have worked.

Tried the car out at S2 but I think I prefer the Senna in that class.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

Every Day I see multiple post on Reddit asking for someone to sell them the 2018 Civic Type-R. meanwhile I am just sitting here with 2 of them in my garage.

 

[GTvsForza]

Well, I recieved a second Mosler. So... one for winning and one for participation?

 

[Clark]

What was even the challenge? I was gonna go on to do it yesterday but I started the game up and had a Mosler for doing nothing

Shattering the illusion of having a true three wheeler

Reminds me of a pic I took back in FH3.

3 months after launch, still not getting any weekly Forzathon bonus points.

The Mosler was given out due to the number of people that had technical difficulties with receiving the prize after meeting the requirements. This was confirmed by T10 staff on the official forums.

I dislike AR12 and will not give him credit for anything.

 

[Milouse]

Well...

Seasonal championships also grant:
[HOT HATCH] 2011 DS Automobiles DS 3 RACING
[RODS AND CUSTOMS] 1952 Hudson HORNET

 

[Apple Slipper]

Great to have the DS3 back! Been almost six years (Forza Motorsport 5)! Also glad to have the legendary Hornet back!

 

[CSLACR]

Is anybody else's Forza Hub on timeout for FH4?
Mine's been stuck at the same numbers so long, it still thinks I only have 8 car masteries, and only drove 2k miles...
I've driven 11k now.

(All other Forza games have been updating, FH1, FH2, FM6, etc)

Same problem here, i'm stuck at 14 car masteries for a while (like two weeks ? Maybe more as i didn't do car masteries completion for several weeks before two weeks ago)

 

[ShawnPhillips]

Doc Hudson has joined the race!

 

[GTvsForza]

I'm guessing the championships are on the main map and not Fortune Island. I keep forgetting that Fortune Island has it's own separate championships.

 

[Milouse]

Got it easily with a stock Bowler EXR S for the Championship.

Edit: oh, and i received the Mosler in the gifts messages! I won a first one last week (so now i have two). Is it a VIP related gift?

 

[Moglet]

Well...

I recently bought a Caterham FE for cheap in the Auction House in the hope that it would be worth a bit more when I re-sold it, then this happens

It was given away to every player for free. Apparently there where people that were not receiving it, even after completing the requirements.
