The Crew: Wild Run Edition

Look at this random back flip i had with the bike lol. This caught me off guard.

Dude, your bike looks awesome!

 

[TJ13]

If I can quick get a reply to this one question I would like it.

Can you be idle in your HQ/Tuner/Dealer to get the times required for the awards?

Meh i just threw a random color on it for now. The hemet doesn't match the bike either. But thanks.

I don't know if the time would count, but the server boots you if you're inactive for more than about 15 minutes.

They really need to fix the damn finishing results after pvp races. Sometimes it would glitch. Like just now i was clearly in front of the guy behind me and they declare him the wimner.

I've noticed that too, my friend and I were grinding the "Escape LA" faction mission, and I beat him by 20+ seconds, but it made him the winner, and the prize at the end was a bronze brakes upgrade that would've taken away 11 PI. I was mad because I fought throughout that entire race...

I might give it a shot really quick. Just to see. Since I want the license plate that involves that run. (it's a minnesota plate)

Edit: Been in the HQ for about 20 minutes and hasn't kicked me so I am going to go a bit longer and see what happens.

Yeah, I haven't actually timed how long it takes to get kicked, but I've left the game many times and was kicked out due to inactivity when I came back.

It's about a half hour so I wouldn't have to do much of that just to get up to 4 hours in HQ.

My check came in early so i'm going to be downloading the wild run expansion pack once I get home. Can't wait!

 

[sirjim73]

The Crew Wild Run edition (base game plus wild run expansion) is down to £25 on Game website today. In case anyone interested.

So you can now buy the whole game for the same price as they want for just the expansion !!

I don't know if any of you guys have this problem but recently I bought a Drag Spec mustang and decided to give it some new rims at the HQ, however when I go to visual customization, the option to change rims isn't there.

Now you may think that it's normal for this to happen if you don't own any rims *Even if you don't, the option should still be there normally* or you may not be aloud to change rims on drag specs but this isn't the case was you can usually change the rims on them. Heck apparently I'm still able to purchase and equip rims from the drag tuner.

Unfortunately I don't own any other dragsters, this is my first drag spec car I bought so I have yet to see if the others are affected by this. If I do get another drag spec car *Drag Specs cost like 500,000 bucks so it's not like it'll take me like 1 minute or 2 to get another Dragster to see if they all have this problem* I'll let you guys know.

Also one more thing. Do any of you guys know how to get the drag spec 1969 camaro? I see people own a drag spec variation of it but I can't buy it as the car shows it doesn't have a drag spec.

 

[LOonIE]

I didn't even find the rims at the drag tuner, so I thought it is just not possible to change them at all. Seems bugged...

Question: I read somewhere that the developers changed the smart loot system of the tests, so that you can win only performance parts anymore. This would bring the leveling process back to the pre WR state, but with smart loot.
Is this true? I can't check it myself unfortunately.

[edit]
OK, they really tweaked it! That sure is a nice change:

The increased rubberbanding not weakened it. Lost at the White Mountain Loop for the first time after a couple close races. The ****ing skyline is ridiculous.

I'm sooo happy I didn't impulse buy Wild Hunt.

Thinking about unistalling at this point. I pop in to send my friends on missions (which got nerfed at some point I swear, pretty I remember there being more than 16k rewards and faster than 12 hrs), collect my daily award, grind some White Mountain Loop with a random car (not happening anymore) and then try to get a online game (takes about 15-20 minutes to find a match, starts with me and one other person, eventually some other people join in but with an hour or two it's just 1vs1 again).

Really, they make everything harder plus expensive then slash down all the rewards.

**** sucks, game had so much potential.

Rode from Salt Lake City to New York n a KTM 450 Rally, it's amazing how much of this map I still haven't explored. I also saw a steam train! Which I didn't know the game had until now.

Though after some playing, I have had a few issues with the game in general. Firstly, the controls. The game forces me to have my gears as up/down on the right analog stick, which is silly. I liked being able to use the right stick to move the camera around the vehicle. Being on PC I fiddled with some things and now my R1/L1 are right stick up/down. But now the camera can't move smoothly around the vehicle because it thinks up/down on the stick are buttons, not sticks. I don't recall these forced button mappings being in Wild Run's beta, or in The Crew before the update.

And secondly, it's just a minor thing I'd like, rather than a real complaint. I'd like to see some more helmet freedom for the bikes. I mean, when riding a full stock/street spec bike, he wears an open face helmet, and there's nothing we can do to change it. Why? I don't know. But it looks a bit silly to me when riding anything but the Indian Scout. In the beta he wore a normal closed face helmet on the full stock. So why the sudden change?

Also, graphics comparison.

The interiors are one of the best things in the graphical update. They used to look shiny and plastic, but now they look a lot more legitimate.

Finally worked around this new way of dropping system, with the "smart" drop. And I upgraded to the max (1299) the BMW Z4 in Circuit spec and bought same parts for the Ferrari 458 Speciale, yesterday.
Today I did the same thing for Nissan GT-R in Street spec and for Ford Focus in Dirt spec.

Next one is a car for Raid spec, but don't know if maxing out my starting car (Chevrolet Camaro SS, got it already 1.208) because of the aggressive bodywork or the Mini Countryman because it is a Dakar car (but it is still "stock").
For the Performance spec, gonna wait to buy the Lamborghini Aventador.

 

[LOonIE]

I unlocked the free monster truck package, but when visiting the tuner, i still have to pay the 450K. How do I claim the free upgrade?

The summit has me in the Gold, only like 700 from Plat, wondering if I still try and go for it or hold my line in gold and try for a 50% car?

 

[Flaren89]

Change of plans!
I decided that my starting car (Chevrolet Camaro SS) gonna be my official Raid car and I improved it to 1299.
Also I changed the Performance spec car and went to the already owned McLaren F1 GTR and also improved it to 1299 aswell.
Then I already bought the 2 cars I gonna use in Drift (Subaru BRZ) and Monster (SRT Dodge Ram) specs when I will buy the "Wild Run" expansion. Starting getting money for the future Drag (a RUF) car.

So now my 1299 cars are:
- Street: Nissan GT-R;
- Performance: McLaren F1 GTR;
- Circuit: Ferrari 458 Speciale;
- Dirt: Ford Focus;
- Raid: Chevrolet Camaro SS;
- Optional cars: BMW Z4 (Circuit);
- Future projects: Subaru BRZ (Drift), SRT Dodge Ram (Monster), 1 of the 2 RUFs (Drag).

 

[TJ13]

I managed to get into Plat on the Summit.
Just hoping that I stay there long enough to win the car. Since I don't really want to drop down to gold where it's a 50% instead of 100%.

Got my new Perf car.
Now I just wait for the next one.
Maybe I can win the next car?

 

[Flaren89]

My best run in "Dry run" untill now, but still not perfect. 4:05.6 without taking any damage, 29493 total score.
Graphic in "High" preset, but unfortunately looks like Youtube's compression reduced a lot the general quality of the video, even at 1080p. Or maybe it's just because it is recently updated and needs a further optimization on their side.
Hardcore controls, keyboard, automatic gearshift.

Hope you enjoy.

Maybe it's just the lighting angle, but the lake looks worse after the update.

They sort of are, strangely. The reflections are more designed for the wet roads. They're nice from close up.

 

[TJ13]

New summit and hopefully able to qualify this run.
I like the Lotus that was in the last one. Might be one of the better Perf cars until I upgrade my Mclaren F1

So, I was trying to get the "Complete an escape skill with the mini map expanded for the entire duration." to complete the above licence plate, but it looks bugged. I start with already expanded minimap (pressing X before starting it) and then complete it. When I end all the rewards screens I see that my minimap reset to default and I don't get the achievement.
Already tried 6-7 times.

Any possible solution?

I looked for it on my end and I didn't see it.
Which area is it at? If I ask?

License plate > PVP > Skill B
It supposed to be awarded if you drive with mini map expanded for the duration of the driving-skill, but the game auto-resets it to shrinked version for the reward screens and this will unvalidate the attempt of getting the achievement (and license plate, so).

I just tried it and got the same results, wonder does it have to be in a crew maybe?
Since it is a PVP maybe need something to do with that.
I tried holding the button I tried like what you did I also tried doing short/long and same thing. Maybe bugged maybe it's dependent on something else.

Edit: I asked on the crew's reddit maybe someone knows on there.

Edit 2: This is the response I got

Is that the one with the map extended during an escape test? Just make sure you have it extended the entire time (i.e. before you start until you finished). And don't crash. Should be pretty easy.

 

[Flaren89]

Snip

Yes I know. It should be easy and it should be done like that. The problem is that it doesn't work. Tested again today without even getting damaged, but nothing, still not completed.

In the meanwhile, completed the "Son of the Road" faction mission in under 1 hour on my very first attempt.
