The Crew 2 Official Game Discussion Thread

[CSMDuty11]

Well, wait till you see the Pro Line-Up album. It's got things that want you to spend. Doing things like take pictures of:

A Proto Offshore Mk2 (Icon 400, NPC is findable around where NPC Powerboats spawn),
An Alpha Mk2 (500k ish, NPC can be found around race tracks),
The Vulcan (screw Clarence),
A Zivko Edge race airplane,
The 488 GT3 (which I don't know if there's a spawn for),
A 2-powerboat scuffle which must include a Jaguar Vector V40R (probably NPC spawnable, this is a pretty common boat)

...Ooor you could take the pictures of them in the Race HQ for everything except the last one.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Well, barnacles. Oh well, I don't have to get a 488 GT3 anymore at least. I've found both Protos in the wild as NPCs for those shots.

And I just bought the Vector for a bit of boating variety. So far it's great, but unnecessary when I already have the almighty Frauscher Demon.

Probably won't be anything big I'm guessing.

Just finished the Roadtrip Photo Ops and knocked out a good number of skills in the Street Racing discipline.

July's 2 cars.
Probably the PC/X1 fix that PS4 had.(Favorite car fix)
Anything else?
Maybe some balancing but I doubt it.

It's the Giulia and FXX K?

No idea.
But probably if they were already in game just "hidden"

 

[JakeMR2]

I've been getting a lot of front bumpers for my McLaren F1. I made it look like the LM, just waiting for better side skirts to show. Been grinding out Lerral's Race Pt. 2 for a while on hard. To be honest it's getting a lot easier, sometimes he's 20 to 30 seconds behind me.

That's what a lot of people said that after you get 30+ perf above reco it becomes easier.
Then makes me think, does the AI really have a severe rubberbanding or not?
If people were trying like below reco, I can see that happening, right around reco might be extremely battling but doable, and above (Just like below) you pull away.

 

[GTvsForza]

To make the Hard street races easy, use the Ducati Pankgale R. It's at the same level as the requirement. Also a good way to grind for higher parts and bucks/followers.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Working on beating Tio for the P1 at this point in time. My 458 feels about right, but I don't think the '69 Camaro is a great choice for the second half.

 

[JakeMR2]

I've beaten him, but for my hypercar parts (which I'm trying to max out) have been on a decline. I'm getting more lesser parts than normal, and it's not fun. Sure I have 1.8 million bucks, but that was done by pure grind for parts.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I'm in the funny world where I have more Hyper cars than drift and drag cars combined.

Then again, I have like 5 times the amount of street cars/bikes.. I swear I'm not working on something!

The agusta is the better option in my opinion.

Edit.
This also works on rally raids. (i used the bmw R1200S)

This is what some people are complaining about too.
That once you start getting close to making out you end up getting worse parts or same parts that you already have maxed.
Reason why I don't do much grinding anymore or even play. :/

Have you put Icon points in Loot Rarity?

 

[TJ13]

Have you put Icon points in Loot Rarity?

Rarity?

I just looked to verify and there is no rarity.
There is Lucky and Golddigger,

Gold Digger means more drops, (Still doesn't mean you will get higher perf)
Lucky means the quality, (Still again doesn't mean you will gain perf, just the quality (More Epic))

I meant the Lucky perk, just forgot the name of it.

 

[TJ13]

I have lucky and I am still having a hard time leveling up cars to max.
It's that RNG.

 

[JakeMR2]

I also have them on, not much, but the only car I have maxed is my MCR R34 look alike. And, that took like 1 hour to 5 hours. Wonder why they would change it during the end of the beta... From what people say.

I don't get many regular common parts, only rare and up, maybe some aero parts.

July Vehicles

 

[GTvsForza]

July Vehicles

I knew the Ferrari was one of them, but the X-Bow is going to be an awesome toy to drive around in.

Some good things but some ugh?
Increase needed on followers to next level? (Ugh really? there is no PVP yet so do we really need it, or you want it because of the macro people?)

Increase epic parts on hard is good (As long as they are not lower than what you have)

 

[GTvsForza]

Isn't it 10k to level up?

 

[MroczMR]

Higher fame for another icon level? Thats... disappointing? I already find it to be a lot of grind... Playing a lot since launch and I have only Icon 74 level... I was trying to gain fame in legit way by doing tricks, and different events (not spaming one type)
This lovely LaFerrari is becoming unreachable...

Maybe i should grind Monster Truck tricks for this

Too bad we can't buy it event for more cash

 

[TJ13]

It gets more as you level up.

I just tried a hard event, got 1 blue and 1 purple. Both lower than what I have had. 🤬

FXX K is a TC.
X-bow is a SR

 

[FT-1]

With the icon level "balancing", I would have thought levelling up would be adjusted but nope - We are still being given parts lower that what is currently installed. 👎

But on the bright side, both new cars are a welcome addition. Both cars sound really good and the KTM has a generous number of body mods.

[/QUOTE]

They should call EA, because there the gift system worked, either you got equal to what you had or better. even with the free rolls.

 

[TJ13]

I still believe that because of how people are using "macros" and "exploits" should be accounted for, instead of having everyone else pay for what they have did.

Since that's how I feel about the whole icon leveling system.

The parts.
Well I still think it should be the way TC1 would be for parts.
Equal or slightly better.
(Yes so what if you can max out a car but if you want to do it to all cars it will take time, or have parts be locked to the current car to prevent swapping.)

 

[FT-1]

Ever since the RNG for speedcards was adjusted in NFS Payback, I have never received a performance part which was a lower level. At worst, the part was equipped with fewer perks.

It can't be that difficult for Ivory Tower to fix, just adjust some figures in the RNG database.
