Lol I got a week ban for putting "FREE CANDY" on the side of a GMC Vandura, something I have done in every forza horizon I've played.. Why else have a Vandura in the game if you're NOT going to do that?!

The worst part is the reason is "Child Endangerment" when it really should be "Tired rear end joke", I would be fine with that but child endangerment?? get the gently caress outta here

double lol that the "free candy" is listed as a reason for a ban in the rules, yeah yeah it's a weak joke but I make my own dumb fun.

I think the "free candy" banning actually started back in FH4, shortly before they decided to add the Confederate flag to their list of inappropriate symbols.

Forza's moderating on liveries is always kind of interesting, since they appear to have zero issues with people "fixing" the liveries on old race cars to re-add tobacco and alcohol logos that were removed for the game, and I've had "Dale Earnhardt tribute" liveries (with "Build the wall" and Pink Floyd's "The wall" painted on it) go through with no problem, but a stupid old joke is apparently ban-worthy.

I'm enjoying horizon but hitting a random immovable tree in the middle of a good trail blazer run or losing my danger sign score because I landed on a rock wrong kind of pisses me off. "Skill challenges" just mean do donuts and hit fences and obstacles over and over.

Really pretty game though, and the longer races are super fun and really satisfying.

I strongly disapprove


I'm utterly mediocre at the game, most of the time on the open-world stuff I land in the 40-60% bracket compared to other goons in the club (except for some jumps and speed traps where I'm 3% thanks to the Jesko :getin: ), how do I actually play with/against others? How does Rivals work? I only did that once for the seasonal objective, crushed it on my first lap and went on to more challenges but now I'm kinda bored with the AI racing and I'd like to either directly (races) or indirectly (rivals? is that the entirety of how it works, you just have to beat times set by others?) compete with goons, or even do stuff cooperatively if that's even possible

Reductively, Motorsport is all about track racing. There is no overworld. Its a more traditional racing game.

Edit: They share a common foundation when it comes to the physics of the driving, I believe. Its one of the reasons I like Horizon so much. I run with the same lack of assist options as I do in Motorsports, with the exception of 'simulation damage', which I leave disabled in Horizon.

If you miss a week of challenges, you might miss out on a car that ends up at $20m.

It's nice to have about $30m sitting because when you're doing rivals you can just immediately buy whatever car and stuff $100k worth of parts in it without worry.

Also, i somehow have a clean lap in a D482 Fairlady Z that's almost 30 seconds clear of what i can actually achieve on festival gatecrash.

All I know is that in FH4, I never grinded for money, and never really engaged with the seasonal stuff, and despite that, with 450 hours logged, I'm sitting on something like 100 million funbucks, and 800-odd cars. Hopefully the same will apply for FH5, to some extent.

Edit: I suppose one 'income stream' that *has* gone away in FH5 is the whole 'Forza app for free money' thing.

yeah i saw that time, looks like a bug or something. did you maybe load a higher-class setup with that car for a race or something?

Some of the most technical races I ever did in FH4 were street races in a stock Peel P50. Soooo long to get up to speed, and you lose that pace so very quickly if you aren't on the ball.

Also, quick question: I wanted to get the Jesko by three starring all the V10 stories. There is one part where there is an A version and a B version and you choose one at which point the other one disappears. But you can still access it through choosing it on the list.

Do I have to three star that one too to get the Jesko or if I just do the last one will that do it? The one I didn't choose is a skills challenge on a beach with a lovely car and I'm really having trouble getting this piece of poo poo to spit out decent amounts of skill points to get to three stars

I think you need to play each half, but you only need to 3 star one half. It gave me the Jesko and one of the other story cars without getting 3 stars on everything.

Before anyone else wastes time on it, the daily forazathon thing to complete an Expedition is busted if you've already done them, just like the one to do a showcase was last week. There was a workaround last week to trigger it by purposely losing the showcase race, but so far doesn't seem like there's a way around this one.

The ghost starts way back from the line and my Nissan is S947 so i'm guessing it just took the time i did the actual race in and put registered it as a time for the stock car.

I'm guessing a bunch of the bullshit times in the leaderboards are the same bug, and some people have figured out how it happened and went around doing it to every race.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
Okay, I've got more questions:

1) What is a 'clean' time? Is it just not using rewind or can you also not hit anything at all? Is there a time attack mode I can do without other cars?

2) How do I see leaderboards? I posted what I believe is a clean time in the Marathon (I think that's what it was called, the street race finale or one of them) but it just came up with the normal poo poo. It is pretty funny that now I'm in GRCC all the drivatars have the names of GRCC members even though I realize I'm not actually beating you guys.

3) Where the gently caress do I find leaderboards for specific tracks for compete for good times?

Thanks in advance!

A clean time is not hitting an unbreakable object or using rewind. You cannot get a clean time with other cars on the track, only in rivals mode in the online tab of the pause menu.

Go to the track, then class you want to race on within rivals, and hit Y once a rival's time shows up on the right. then hit X to get to the club times, and pick a time out of the list to challenge.

Online > Rivals > Horizon Rivals > pick whatever route, then the prompt to change rival is to look at the leaderboard also. You can filter by club if you're in it or just look at the global, someone in GRCC is never far from the top.

Online > Horizon Open > Open Racing is just against randoms, to coordinate you might need to join the discord the ingame isn't user-friendly yet

To add to this, you can also pause the game and go to the online tab, then rivals and then the large "Horizon Rivals" button. There you can see all the different tracks and the different classes, press "Y" to "select ghost" to peep the leadboard for that track/class. Very easy way to find people you want to beat or find out what cars people are using to post top times.
