The Crew 2 Official Game Discussion Thread

I fear there is no way anymore to earn past MotorPass vanities in The Crew 2? 😢

Finally got to Icon 675 today, which means I now have all the Icon Perks fully upgraded and can throw all future Perks into Bucks (pity its 3 levels for 1 perk now though).

Have realised the Stories are fun but don't get you any credits or followers, so I've parked those until I have a more complete car collection.

Still have the "regular" Street races events and the 30 min hypercar event to do. Have been leaving the post release events to do once I finish those.

Also, after 6 months with no voices even in cutscenes, last week I loaded up the game and was asked to set my brightness setting and suddenly I have voices everywhere Must be a "bug" that sorted itself out.

Just going to mention in here, there's a boosted Alpha GP Nitro Chemist set up for grabs in the TC2 summit this week. It's really not that often that something good like this turns up, last time there was something similar was a Hypercar boosted NC set over 2 months ago.

Unfortunately, this week features one of the two events that I just cannot do with my non-existent flying skill set - the Vegas one in between the tall buildings. Or in my case whacking straight into them

I really struggled with the Jetsprint one, but just had a few more goes and my total is now at 1256k, which is probably enough.

It took me some time to get good at the air race stuff when I first played TC2, and even now it was a bit of a shock just how much faster it is than TCM.

(A couple of days later) I decided to have a go at the summit on a brand new account. The account has the season pass which helps a lot with a starting lineup of vehicles. It was a bit of a grind to get star status to access the summit and there was little option but to just grind street races over and over again to do that. I think it took several hours as I had to stop between each race to put the new parts on. I couldn't afford to spend any money on any other types of vehicle as I needed all my money to eventually buy the summit vehicle bundle. Eventually got star status, but had to grind a bit more to afford the vehicle bundle. It's a tough summit for new players as you need parts for so many different types of vehicle. Big Land is a score killer till you have good hypercar parts, and I'm still not at 320 yet. The Huayra event on a track isn't that bad without good parts. I did okay at the air race without good parts, and the drag race gets you almost full summit points with a stock Corvette. I could do with more boat parts for the escape, and obviously could really use plane parts for the aerobatic skill. I don't want to grind Alpha GP parts as that will be a waste of time if I can get platinum and get the boosted set. And there's jetsprint as well, so many different sets needed..... After 8 hours of playing time I'm 23k short of platinum.

Okay, after 11 hours of play time on the new account, I'm 60k over the current platinum threshold, which is probably safe. Could probably add 20-40k to that with another hour or two of working on parts for plane and dragster.

I made it!

PS: I doubt I'll get to 9999 anytime soon

I'm just over Icon 3000 on my PC save (my main) and barely at 700 on PS.

Nice, well done! In case you don't know, though, you go up levels massively slower after 1000, so it doesn't take 10x as long to get to 9999, it's virtually impossible to get to 9999 with any sane amount of play.

On my main account, Steam says I have 581 hours, and I'm at 2014. Just collected my 150k follower summit reward and did the 2 summit events to get another 400k followers. Got me to 2027.

On an account I only recently started playing on, I did the same. Started at icon 124, got to 175, so that's 51 levels vs 13, so it's around 1/4 of the rate of gaining levels after 1000. I'm not 100% certain how it works, but I think it might just be a straight switch in rate of gaining levels, i.e. one rate up to 1000, then the lower rate after 1000.

The boosted rally raid set for gold this week is worth getting, as Bayou Break with that set is the best money earner in the game, assuming you don't have the same boosted set for hypercar.

I'm icon 2500 with 640h. Before summits reward getting xp was a pain. Not to mention icon 1000, even getting to 500 was a huge grind. Some YouTuber grind 4000 races to get LaFerrari at icon 500. Now it's much easier but still. By the time you reach icon 5000 you will probably have enough money to buy every vehicle.
