The Crew Motorfest - General Discussion

I got uridium for free on a tape sollotaped to a copy of Zzap 64 magazine!

Zzap 64, those were the days. Jaz Rignall, what a legend. I used to read it in between playing football in a field with jumpers for goalposts.

What do people think about next week's summit with the Nevera Time Attack platinum reward? I'm thinking it's going to be pretty competitive, as the standard Nevera is an extremely good hypercar to start with.

Highly likely I wont be winning one if it is mega competitive as we are pre-the gear balancing update. Im thinking in the coming weeks getting platinum will be easier for me as I perhaps naively only play legit, but this might make me sharper?.

Gears won't matter as it's all electric cars.

That Terzo Millenio could be a problem for someone that doesn't want to buy it. But I still think it won't matter much. While the Nevera should be decent I don't think players like EV in general. There won't be as much players as for something like that Blackpantha Skyline for example. Something like 180k participants.

Since next week’s custom show theme seems to be electrical vehicles, I prepared 3 cars for it (one for each platform). ☺️


For the kids on PlayStation :

For the serious people on Xbox :

And on PC for helping out a random guy from Reddit who requested the solid blue tire (I already helped him get the solid purple tire this week) :

Really love how that Rimac Nevera turned out. 🤩

I too prepared a Nevera for the next show. 😊

Speaking of Custom Show, Ivory announced some changes for the show for Season 6, due to many complains. But I still can't think of a way to prevent groups of people (friends) to vote for each other. My only hope is they would fix the reporting issue.

Okay, so with the announcement for this week I've realised the bigger problem is the bundle includes both the Terzo Millenio and the standard Evija, so it's going to cost around 2.8m.

You can get the Evija Pure Edition from the Electric Odyssey playlist and I assume you'll be able to use that for the Evija event in the summit, so many people will effectively only need the Terzo Millenio, but they'll either have to buy that on its own at full price, or pay even more to get the bundle with the Evija.

I'm not short of credits on my main account, and it already has the Terzo Millenio, so I'll probably just crew up with my other accounts and do the Terzo event with a loan car, and use the Evija Pure Edition for the Evija event. I should still be able to get platinum no problem with one loan car event.

The standard Nevera might also be meta for the events where you can use any electric hypercar, so it could be an extremely expensive week for anyone who wants to use the best cars for each event.

At least they're worth the money, im fond of both cars the terzo's weird motor sounds are cool and they both go like a stabbed rat!

I'm not lucky, I get it. But this is not RNG anymore, this is a RIGGED system!! 🤯
Uff... Now I want to clarify that it's is not a big issue because I have 3 Nitro Chemist sets for HC. But still... Why is it so hard to get that Motorcore part? I lost count how many parts I scraped, merged... It's a lot lot lot. Like it's not already difficult to get any NC part. And it's the same for other categories...

But still... Why is it so hard to get that Motorcore part?

I just had a go at making more NC sets on my main account, and I had 3 partial sets, all missing suspension. I've probably scrapped lots of NC parts in the past as like you I already have several complete sets and don't really need any more.

How likely is this to happen? You have 24 NC parts there, none of which are motorcore. Each part has a 6/7 chance of not being motorcore, so the probability of this happening for 24 parts is (6/7)^24 = 2.5%. BUT, you'd probably think it was rigged no matter which of the 7 types it happened for, and the probability of those 7 outcomes is the sum of the probabilities of each one, so 7 x 2.5 = 17.5%, so not all that unlikely. For my situation, with 3 partial sets all missing the same 1 type of part, the probability becomes pretty high, 44%.
