I miss Forza Horizon 4's Festival Playlist where you can win the exclusive new-to-Forza cars from the Seasonal Championships and the low points rewards instead of the online multiplayer events.
Yeah I don't think people are going to be happy when they find out that they're going to have to grind a lot more comparatively than FH4 to get these early series exclusives.
I thought Playground Games learned their lesson on not locking certain cars behind completing online events in Forza Horizon 4. Guess not. I noticed the playlists during the livestream and I knew something was up. Back in Forza Horizon 4, the rare cars (that are already in the game) usually had the higher percentage requirements and the exclusive new-to-Forza cars had the lower percentage requirements or can be Seasonal Championship rewards. That worked well.
Hitting the second car mark each week really isn't that difficult, though. The majority of the online stuff only requires you to participate rather than win, and while the AI is more of a blatant cheaty bugger now, I feel like the main problem people were having with the first month was that the game just wasn't very clear about what cars were needed for events, and that left people more unprepared to properly deal with them due to a lack of a filled out collection. (Also, not knowing that restarting an event a couple times can mess with the AI and prevent that rabbit in P1 from constantly flying away halfway through the first lap, which worked just as well in FH4 too.)
The higher-tier reward car was 80% in FH4, but 45pt is 69-73% of the usual 61-65pt available each season in FH5. You can miss out the 10pt Trial, the 3pt Arcade, 3pt Playground, 2pt Eliminator, and the 2pt challenge that usually uses Open and still hit 45.
Further to this, I saw this video posted on the Forza forums from a few weeks ago, I don't know if it was posted here before.
Unfortunately, gifting to certain people, even friends, is not possible.
I've noticed there being fewer players after long delays but I assume at least some of those could be due to the player getting fed up waiting, so they just force quit the game (on PC it's even easier to quit, you can just disconnect your network and it will kick you without having to exit the game).
Really? It's the first things I do each week and really enjoy the online stuff and do extra anyway during the week. The only issue I have is finding a good team for The Trial.
I wonder as a new player if this will be where I end up too. At the moment I see it as a way of making us use different cars that we might otherwise not, but even after a month I can list off every activity off the top of my head because they are the same every week.
Look it's really simple math. There are 65 points available. You need 45 for the second car and the Gold portion covers 23 points. So at least you need to do one of those Gold only activities to reach those 45. I doubt @Apple Slipper would have any issue if that was possible.
I agree. By the time I unlock a new car I usually just try it for a few minutes, add it to favourites if i liked it and that's it. God knows when will be the next time I'll drive this car, probably for some trial or AI race when I'm trying to unlock a completely different car in two months time. Not a fair comparison but in Driveclub (and many other racing games, too) all the packs of new cars came with events for the new cars, which was exciting. It will be fun to drive a new car in some of seasonal events in FH5, this way you can use the new car and you will still need to unlock it. I remember in FH4 they gave us a chance to try something new in monthly rivals, why not do this with some other events?
Seems to be the save hotfix judging by comments on Reddit. Don't see anything released yet on their support page.
ach well can't win them all lol, no doubt they will disappear at some point. and they did after entering arcade mode lol
