Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[sesselpupser]

Does anyone know what you need to do to knock the Online Adventure tab off the playlizt screen?? It is literally the only thing I have left.

Reach level 3 in unranked adventure (racing, games or anything goes) which qualifies you for ranked adventure, then do 10 adventures to qualify for a league, that's it. I got 25k influence from losing an unranked race adventure so you'll probably have to just do a few to reach level 3. I've only done the one so I don't actually know. But you do have a month to do it in, so.

I don't suppose anyone knows how long daily challenges are open for now? Is it just one day, all week or three days like before?

 

[Anathema]

I believe they are still set for three days only.

 

[Nielsen]

Having cleared everything except the forthcoming daily Forzathon challenges, my seasonal progress sits at 77%... The weight distribution seems off here, but let's hope it will add up to 100% in the end.

 

[Clark]

I’m at 95 for this season.

 

[Nielsen]

That's disturbing to hear.

 

[sesselpupser]

... How?! Then again I'm at 25% for the season and haven't done all the daily challenges yet, which doesn't really make sense mathematically.

I'm gonna follow-up on the online ranked event on the playlist, @ManteoMax has clarified the requirements:

Qualifying for Online Ranked, and Monthly Rivals are required for Summer seasonal completion (you cannot reach 100%, and thus earn the reward car, without them) but they don't have to be completed in Summer. If you complete the Summer specific events you should reach 76% including the 7 Daily Forzathon challenges (if I added correctly). If you subsequently complete Qualifying and Rivals in Autumn (or Winter, Spring), your Summer completion will increase and the 100% Summer completion reward car will be added to your garage at that point.

I'm still a bit unsure on the whole "qualify for online ranked", is it still 10 unranked adventure runs? Or does it have to be done in ranked adventure? I'm currently at level 4 unranked, haven't tried the ranked modes.

I'm liking the new Festival Playlist. I like to be able to see all the seasonal events in one place. I completed all the summer events in under 5 hours and with only the daily challenges left, my summer progress is at 95%.

Can you advise what you did to qualify for online ranked?

 

[HyperSpeeder]

I have everything but Forzathon and dailies.

Doesn't change anything, people will simply change the clock to do the dailies ahead of schedule. I bet there are people who already have the 914/6. Nice try, Playground, you minimized the problem but didn't solve it.

 

[sesselpupser]

Can anyone who has completed the playground games confirm that they don't have a gold cup icon under the playground games icon on the map, please? I've completed it, the festival playlist says I've completed it, when I go to start it it says I've completed it but it's the only seasonal icon on the map that doesn't have a gold cup under it...

That appears to be normal, relax!

I'm also doing this with dread that it's broken somewhere. The disconnects from adventure are really annoying

 

[sesselpupser]

Thanks! Just really keen to not be wasting my time here...

 

[boiltheocean]

I've done everything besides the dailies and my progress is also at 95%, everything is gold too.

 

[TripleA5]

I had already unlocked ranked adventure by reaching level 3 in one of the team adventures and had already completed 10 unranked team adventures in a previous month, so all I had to do was complete 1 team adventure and I qualified for ranked.

 

[sesselpupser]

The disconnects from adventure are really annoying

Tell me about it, I just did the full five rounds of an adventure and got disconnected at the end of the last race, even after I crossed the finish line.

I'm a bit concerned that I'm only at 77% completion and I only have the remaining five daily challenges and qualifying for ranked adventure left to do, but apparently many other people are way ahead of that... Does qualifying count for nearly 20% on its own?

For that first phase of getting to Level 3 I did 6 adventures and it disconnected from 3 of them - I'd won one of them too! I've only done 2 out of 10 for the next phase of qualifying, but so far not disconnected.

I think it adds 18% to each of the seasons. I'm at 77% too.

 

[-Fred-]

Erm, is it normal I've already got anywhere in between 20-25% completion for the 3 other seasons already? It's like it has already registered events I've done in the past.

Looks like it, because of it i’ve already got and sold the F50 GT for completing half of Series 7.

 

[-Fred-]

Marvelous! I guess I should have done more Trials...

Aaaand I just got disconnected, too. After finishing the last race of the five race series. Which we won 3-2. And I get nothing for it.

 

[sesselpupser]

Even though I'm just doing it to unlock some cars, so it makes no difference if I win or lose, I'm getting so worked up about ranked adventures! I've only done two so far and we've won both 3-0, but man, it's intense. Or, rather, I'm being intense about it. This is why I stopped playing PvP games years ago. And it's only to qualify!

 

[maxi25]

So we have to do the online adventure and playground games to get more progress right? I just want to double check before I commit to them.

Yes. You need to do everything that is on the season progression screen.

From my experience, it’s the Seasonal playground games you need to win, the online adventure you just need to qualify for it to be completed.

As I’ve qualified in the past, I only had to complete one adventure (Team adventure for me.) to complete it for the series.

 

[GTvsForza]

Now I understand why people are hating the new Playlist. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! The Buggy championship is stupid!

 

[FT-1]

The Horizon Festival feature itself is a good addition (it groups everything new in a season into one place) but the requirement to complete all tasks to earn exclusive cars is so uncalled for. In a game with such a casual approach to progression at its core, it feels extremely unusual to have such grindy mechanics inspired by F2P mobile games.

 

[Vic Reign93]

Now I understand why people are hating the new Playlist. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! The Buggy championship is stupid!

In fairness, that particular championship has always been like that and here’s why.

Race 1 requires a powerbuild, I’ve used a Polaris with the bike engine, but all 3 have one big issue.

At a certain distance, Drivertars go through stonewalls without actually making a hole and slowing down, which means one or two of them can pull out an unfair gap which can only get bigger and in such lightweight vehicles, hitting those walls really slows you down.

You have to push hard right from the start to get close enough so that the front runners actually hit the stonewalls and slow down just to even have a chance of winning.

 

[Nielsen]

Casual racing game turned hardcore overnight. Sums it up I think.

 

[mustafur]

The playlist does add alot more purpose to this game even though it's too grindy I would be okay with it if it had half the events it did.
