Forza Motorsport 7: #Forzathon

[Populuxe]

Next week's rewards are the 2013 Dodge Dart GT, Think Pink Driver Gear and the Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4

Nice. I need the Think Pink suit. It's part of stylistic set I call the Aristocrats, suits with a very ornate 18th century royal court look that includes True Blue, Autocrat, Your Majesty and First of Firsts.

 

[GTvsForza]

I already have the FE Dart, so might as well get the Vanilla one.

The people creating these challenges must really love Spa. I've lost count of the number of times Forzathon has asked us to complete a set number of laps on this track. It's a good circuit but let's have some more variety.

Whenever Spa comes up in singleplayer it's almost always in the rain, in some massively powerful car that has no margin for error. Presumably they want to give people a chance to actually drive it in a less stressful environment once in a while.

That said, I do agree with you... but hey, at least it's not Le Mans and/or Nurburgring over and over again.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Complete 4 Laps on Spa you say? Time Attack Time!

 

[Populuxe]

Got my Dart, Lambo and Think Pink driver gear. The nice thing about the last Forzathon (buy a Lambo, complete three laps in a Lambo, win in a Lambo) is that you can combine the last two. I dreaded drifting to get the Dart, but I just entered the Drift Ghost league in Multiplayer and wobbled around the Nurburgring in my International Scout for eight minutes. I came in 4th out of 6, and was in third for much of the race. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

I had fun with the Vintage Forzathon so I had a go at a GIF (Forza 7 Style) 👍

 

[AlienDeathRay]

The Vicious Driver gear AGAIN ?!?!?! C'mon Turn 10! This is like the 5th time this has been given out as a reward. and 2nd time in 2 weeks. What? Repeating the Cars in the Specialty Dealer over and over, you didn't learn your lesson?? Why can't you offer up some Driver Suits that we haven't gotten yet? What are you holding back for? I must be missing like 30 Driver Suits. I have nearly everything else, but I have been playing the snot out of this game for the last 11 months. I can understand holding stuff back from the casual gamer, but to the die-hards like me it seems like you guys are playin keep away. ughh

Dang. Second week in a row I've already got the driver suit. And when are we going to get the Ford Raptor FE?

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Spa Day Driver Gear!?!?!? I already have that 10 times over. If anyone has spent Any money on the Driver gear crates, that one keeps coming up all the time. Not to mention it has been a repeat bonus several times as well. At this rate, you can now almost predict what Driver Gear is next. Does this theme seem familiar? Special Dealer ???

I just did the "win a race" for 1,000,000 credits so I just used a random car on a 1 lap of the test airfield which is my chosen track for these events.

Ok the lap took a 1min 20 secs etc.

When I went to claim the prize the game hung for like 10 mins before it actually gave me back control and the 1 mil.

This game is full of bugs isnt it, even at this late stage of its life.

Not for me. Seemed to work perfectly fine after doing a 14 second drag race as everything went through basically immediately.

 

[Populuxe]

Yeah, mine went through immediately after finishing a League race.

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Mine was fine as well. Which put me over 100 Million CR. Now at almost 104 million. I am thinking about buying a ton of the Driver gear Prize Crates to see if I can get any more Driver gear I need. But I am worried that I am just going to get all the same ones I already have. And with rumors of us being able to purchase all the driver gear in the near future, I am wondering why I should even bother. But what else can I do except keep stacking bank?

 

[Populuxe]

That's what I'm doing, just banking the credits. I'm waiting for the driver gear to get it's own storefront so I can buy the suits I don't already have.

These Forzathon things are a little awkward for my taste.

I really wish you could click on them and be taken to events or something. Digging through a bunch of cars and picking tracks and races and everything feels more like work than play.

I guess maybe it's great for the diehard that doesn't know what else to do,but for me it's painstakingly boring and I usually don't bother.

 

[TonyJZX]

Setting up a one lap race in freeplay isnt like really hard.

 

[Populuxe]

Setting up a one lap race in freeplay isnt like really hard.

Well, no, but it still took me about 2 ½ hours yesterday to do all the Forzathon challenges, even with single lap, shortest track variant, no other cars, etc. It takes time, and I can understand if someone finds it tedious rather than fun.

That's how I've always played my racing games - scrolling through cars and tracks, then drive. I think it's pretty common and these challenges add some incentives when things get stale. I like how Forzathon adds something to it.

Setting up a dozen otherwise pointless mini races isn't my idea of fun.

But no, it isn't hard.

 

[Northstar]

So do a dozen races you want to do. 💡

There's no prize for getting a forzathon done in record time, so I really don't get why people rush through them as fast as possible than complain about them. I mean, you have a whole month to do the 10 race one, why rush to get it done in an hour?

 

[AlienDeathRay]

In my opinion, they have really stepped up the Forzathon events. The Monthy events added to the weekly events adds a lot of depth and has captured my attention. The only issue though is that it's a little late for me, as I have all of the prizes, (except for the CR), so the prizes are all repeats. The racing aspect though still manages to capture my focus. I really wish they had been doing it like this from the start. As far as the prizes go, they need to keep things fresh. Driver suits that haven't been featured, instead of repeats all the time. I like the idea of unique livery skins for the gifted cars, like they do for tuning in to the Forza RC.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Ohhh, more opportunities for money in Forzathon! Luckily for me, Time Attacks still seem to count as races. I'll just continue my hot lapping around these tracks, I'm thinking of using the CLK GTR for Prague.

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Time Attacks still seem to count as races.

I am glad you pointed that out. I was wondering about that.
