Forzathon Discussion

[Niku Driver HC]

I'm new to everything Forza and the like. Can someone explain to me what Forzathon is?

Essentially, it's a single day or a period of days where, if you log in the game, you can clear a couple of objectives (winning races, getting a certain amount of skills, etc.) to win prizes. Said prizes can be anything, from Wheelspins all the way to exclusive cars (you can get them from the Auction House, but prices will soar once you go there to find them, FYI)...

What's the best place for getting the Kangaroo skill? It's so annoying having what could have been three consecutive Air skills broken up by Wreckage skills.

I found The Red Stone Gold mine to be the best place. Theres a load of gravel mounds in very close proximity of each other. Just went bouncing around them and got it fairly quickly

Just drive a hypercar across the wild terrain and it will bounce enough to trigger the skill every now and then. Not worth the time and effort for me though. The three wheel spins only made me 34.000 credits richer. The spinner was probably rigged, but good luck.

Then I challenged a bounty and made more money in less than two minutes.

Winter Wonder-Land Down Under is live now for this weekend. Easily got the Bentley GT3 race car.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Can't help but feel silly after dressing up the normal Continental GT to look like the GT3 car. Only to have the GT3 car come out. As for January, looking forward to seeing the Higgins Subaru.

December 23rd-26th
WINTER WONDER LAND-DOWN-UNDER
Jolly Times Ahead!
Challenges:
· O Tannenbaum – Earn 3 Stars on a PR Stunt at the Timber Mill to receive 120,000 CR
· Reindeer Games – Play 10 Playground Games to win the Ford GT Horizon Edition
· Bah Humbug – Perform 50 Skill Chains in a Mercedes-Benz to win 3 wheelspins
· ‘Twas the Night Before – Complete ANY event or race to win the Bentley #7 GT3

I earned my three stars by doing the danger sign in an Ariel Nomad. Did my ten online games in my '74 Celica, and both the 50 skill chains and a rival race in a Mercedes A45 to get the other prizes. Now that everyone has a Ford GT HE, it won't even sell in the auction house.

Glad to see all i have to do is win a race to get the Bentley,i thought that ship had sailed.👍

 

[VXR]

Is that any race offline?

 

[AudiMan2011]

Just any race or event. Online or offline.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

You don't even have to win to get the Bentley. I came in 6th in an offline race and still got the car.

 

[GTvsForza]

It just says complete any event, so you don't have to win.

Man, no one is playing Playground Games right now. I've had two full sets with only one other person.

I ran into the same issue. I've joined a number of sessions and never encountered a lobby with more than two other players.

Looks like selecting S2 only is the key, I did that and got a pretty full session.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I got the Bentley, but that's all I could do today as I'm now at my grandmother's house for Christmas. By the time I get back, the Forzathon event will be gone. I wish I remembered this yesterday as I had all the time in the world to get the other parts done.

 

[Rob192005]

Bentley acquired. just did a one on one with the nearest car on the map.

For more online peeps for this Forzathon, make sure in settings, gameplay, you enable Crossplay, that way if it seems dead, now it will include PC players, lots more people.

 

[PJTierney]

New Forzathons out today; I got mine done in about a half hour.

• I used a Ford GT Horizon Edition in a Rivals Event, and then headed into a Custon Online Asventure to complete the other challenge.
• The Bentley I won from last week's Forzathon was eligible for the final challenge. I just raced against whatever Drivatars showed up but if you're looking for easy wins I recommend starting your Head-to-Heads at the Air Strip.

 

[ykiki]

I think this was the quickest I've ever finished a Forzathon.

 

[Populuxe]

30% off all 2017 cars is nice except that I already have all the 2017 cars.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I'm really now just going to go after the Forzathons that have notable prize cars. If the objectives end up just being XP, Credits and Wheelspins then I won't bother.

 

[Moglet]

The current Forzathon felt remarkably easy to do, I guess that's why the prizes weren't exactly spectacular. I enjoyed doing the 5 head to heads in the Bentley though.

 

[GroupB]

The latest Forzathon is currently bugged, with the correct prizes not unlocking after challenge completion.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Great job Turn 10! You know what makes unlocking a car hard? When you forget to put it in the game! Seriously, check Horizon Promo or the Auction House. It's not there.

 

[AudiMan2011]

They're working on it.

I legit wonder what the hell is going on in their office after the broken PC update/leaked cars fiasco.

The guys at Playground Games must have one hell of a hangover from their New Year's day party.

Here's what they've actually been up to...

January 6-9
Hall of the Mountain King
- Horizon Celebrates Blizzard Mountian

• Snow Flower - Complete 3 Mountain Bucket List Challenges OR Street Races in a Lotus to earn 15,000 XP
• Cool Under Pressure - Perform 30 Snowman or Stuntman Skills to win 3 Wheelspins
• Shake, Rally and Roll - Complete 15 Races in a Rally Monster to win the #75 Subaru WRX VT15r Rally
• Puddle Jumper - Jump the Lake Overlook OR Splash Down Danger Sign in the BMW Isetta to earn 25,000 XP

I'm having problems with the first one. No matter how many bucket lists I do (and yes, I'm doing them in the mountains), I can't unlock it. What exactly do they mean by a street race? Head to Head? A circuit race? What?

I haven't started on the 15 races in a rally monster, but I'm already not sure what they mean. There aren't any exhibition races in Blizzard Mountain. Just the King of the Hill or whatever it's called, championships and rivals.

They've completely blown this weeks Forzathon and apparently people are having a hard time getting prizes, supposedly the Subbie isn't even in the game!

I wouldn't waste any more time on it.
