I used to really like this game, I originally got Forza Horizon 4 to continue on casual gaming after Forza Horizon 3. I was that disgusted by the cars locked away by all those events I would have to do & not only a select few to get those cars. At the most only thing I do with other players on occasion is Forzathon live. When I not do that I just drive around in free roam. Personally I rather that the cars locked away behind these events become DLC cars honestly where I could just buy them in a car pack & add them to my garage. I used to think Forza Horizon was about having a good time & not grinding away for hours on end just to receive one car. It is absolutely ridiculous.

If you have a car pass, you can won it with stock Can-Am Maverick. (Faster than Polaris)
The cheating of drivatar makes this championship difficult.
Because they are simplified, they are ignoring obstacles. Because of that, it is not affected by the slowing of fences and stone walls. That is, they are faster by about 20 to 30 km/h in a straight.
In order to win them, you have to overtake the lower group's drivatar as soon as possible after the start.
By doing so, you can catch up with the top drivatar and prevent their cheating.
(Simplified simplification of deceleration processing occurs only when the player's car and the drivatar are separated by a certain amount or more)

Pro tip if you want to attempt this week's Trial: It's modern muscle cars (Vettes, Vipers and etc) around dirt and the AI doesn't AWD swap. Buils yourself an awd car with the rally parts (I built a 900hp 4wd GT500) and you should breeze past the AI even on unbeatable. You just need another player car built the same way to help you and it's pretty much cakewalk. Got it first attempt, for once.

I finally qualified for online adventure. This is just about the most racing I've done in this game since the first weekend it came out. I'm now at 96% complete for the season and 52% complete for the series. Dang, but qualifying for ranked adventure takes a lot of work.
For those that haven't done it yet, you've got to get to rank three in unranked racing, at which point ranked adventure in whichever discipline you're competing (racing, games, or free-for-all) unlocks, and then you have to complete ten championships in that discipline. And then, finally, you qualify for ranked adventure. So that can run anywhere from about 60 to 70 individual races.
Honestly, it sucked. All it did was remind me why I despise forced online gaming. I can't even remember how many times I was forced into a building or a tree or outside a gate by my own teammate! I am starting to believe there is a certain type of stupid that infects Horizon players.

I'm only at 78% seasonal completion after having golded the weekly Forzathon, 3 daily Forzathon challenges, Showcase Remix, The Trial, Playground Game, 3 PR stunts, and 3 championships. Does the online adventure count toward seasonal progress?
I've spent most of the morning trying to get to level 3 (to become ranked) in one of the online adventure modes, but I'm experiencing lots of random disconnects before reaching the payouts after round 5. If the servers don't improve, then I'm not sure I can complete this challenge before the deadline. I'm getting stressed out by this new system.

@Nielsen as @Outspacer explained to me on the last page, the adventure qualifying counts for a fairly large percentage of the weekly completion (18%). In addition, it appears we only need to do all this grinding once - after you reach level 3 to unlock ranked then do your 10 adventures to qualify, you should only need to do one ranked adventure a month to unlock that part of the progression.

I haven't actually bothered with the new playlist thing yet. Too busy having fun creating and racing on my own tracks and piling up dosh and wheelspins. (300 to do, and 80mill in bank) And reading of the trials and tribulations from my fellow posters above makes me think I'll continue not bothering.
I'll probably go for the 50% thing. I think I can live without the 100% cars. Games are for enjoyment, not to tear your hair out over.

Listen, to complete an Adventure you have to reach the rewards screen. If the game keeps disconnecting you before that, 10 Adventures will take forever to complete. Imagine the feeling when you do your 5-event Adventure, finish it, then get disconnected right before you win your prizes, and you earn zero progression.
There's no justification for what's happening here. Playground has thrown this game into the trash now. The game's useless, there's nothing to do anymore if you want single player experience (all the cars I need cost in the millions), and multiplayer is **** like that, unstable servers (have been like that since day one, never fixed) and trash community.
And do you know who let them do this kind of crap? Us. Yes, us. By thoughtlessly praising the ******** they came up with in FH3, mostly the very concept of Forzathon, which required you to do stupid stuff including: a million pointless skills, win online drag racing, win a Games Adventure, become VIP and take part in co-op racing, sell cars in AH, and so on.
I still have an EA Access sub so at this point I'm willing to fire up NFS to see if that game is as bad as people say. It can't be worse than this, really. FH4 gets 90+ on Metacritic then Playground thinks they can do whatever they please. **** them, seriously.
Like how they listened to overwhelming feedback and immediately removed freeroam rush?
You could say that of Freeroam Rush, but in Online Adventure you can at least grind your way through with the Games.
The bigger problem is how they're STILL trying to push the Trial event to the community when it's not fun to do. The only reason people still do that is because it can be exploited, otherwise no one would bother.
This is not a car game anymore when they ask us to race Vipers and Corvettes in the dirt. If only these races were like in the classic NFS franchise (anything before Underground trash), where the game didn't make any effort to make dirt racing realistic and just lowered your grip, and the dirt patches were mostly flat with the occasional long jump, they would be somewhat ok to do. But this game lets you convert everything to AWD, minmax everything, etc., so it doesn't really matter which car we use.
Why are all the kids wishing for supercars when they're gonna gut the cars and minmax them anyway? You can already do that with the current cars.

I tried to complete the Online Adventure part of the playlist. At the time I was only lvl 2 and 10,000 XP away from starting Ranked Adventure.
After fighting tooth and nail against Bone Shakers in a Volvo 840R for 5 events, the game disconnected right after the last race ended, before any credits or XP could be earned.
I thought it was a one-time issue, no big deal, so I tried again. It happened again. I don't think I'll get any farther than 77% completion.

@HyperSpeeder how is that rant relevant to me answering a question?
I've only done 2 of the 10 qualifying rounds so far (but I've got three weeks to do the other 8), I've also been disconnected at the end of round 5 - yes it's annoying, but I enjoy playing the game so I just load up another round and go again. I mean, if I only need to do 13 rounds in a month once and then ONE round a month after that, I really don't care.

It didn't disconnect on me at all while doing the 10 quali adventures which meant they went by fairly quickly (still a few hours though). Didn't really make much effort but still ended up in league 14, so some rewards coming just from that.
This time round I'm trying it out because the Capri FE had months to attain unicorn status and get under our skins, but what on earth could they offer up for 100% next series that could match that?

I was thinking that, maybe the 812? If not an entirely new car, anyway. It can't be a PO car (unless, of course, it can), probably won't be any of those "hidden" cars like the Crazy Taxi car from the LaRacer story, so what else is there that's even nearly as unobtainable? Apart from the Chevy Colorado ZR2, I mean.

The exact same and frequent disconnections also happened to me before I finally unlocked the ranked adventures at level 3. For now I'm guessing it must be some sort of bug with the quick match system, which appears to be the only access point before the ranked tab gets unlocked.

Over the course of a week if you space it out the challenges are okay, but even still it's not really for the casual player.
But we did get it very easy before when cars where just given to you for completing one championship on Expert, now all the cars you get are going to be very exclusive(especially the 100% cars) just because of the difficulty to get them.

What’s the best car to do the speed zone for the playlist? I keep getting 117-120 with a fully tuned RTR.

I recommend using the Ultima GTR for the Queen’s Drive speed zone, I managed to achieve 133.5 MPH with it.

I have both so I’ll try it with both of them. Got it with the Ultima that speed zone was also one I haven’t gotten 3 stars on too.
