I'M HUGE!
I discovered all of the regions and points of interest, and have over 500 roads discovered. However, I'm still missing 49 signs (both XP and fast travel) and there aren't any more undiscovered ones on my minimap.

Is there anything else that makes them show up on the map, or do I just have to hunt around?

You have to hunt around (for a location map online)

Loads of them are far enough from roads that you have to go hooning around off-road to get them to show.

Or yeah, find a map.

Yep you can look online for a pic of all the boards and use that to check against what has been revealed in your game, or you can buy the "treasure map" from the store that auto-populates your map with all remaining boards.

I mean, it's better than the bad old days when standard practice after releasing a game was the entire company went on vacation for a month, or 3 months if they're european. At least the industry generally factors in the need to support games directly after release now.

"What's that? Tons of bugs in our new game? Welp... good luck with that. We'll look at fixing it in several months when we're all back from the Seychelles."

Aw is this random or something? I did two sets and third one shows a wheelspin for the reward. All but one was a "drive fast car in straight line" that I downvoted booo.

It’s actually an accolade for doing the super7 three times, go check there. Also, you need LOTS of skill points to get car rewards in the mastery trees, they cost 50 and are usually on the top row, so it’s gonna be like 70 points total usually

It's an accolade reward, so it's something you can claim in addition to the regular Super 7 reward. You're good.

It's an accolade for completing three sets, not an actual reward from the thing. So you'll get the wheelspin AND the RX7!

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go.

Pro tip for anyone looking to farm up a bunch of skill points for these: leave the radio on the classical music station. The tracks are much longer, so the skill song bonuses last longer as well. I had one the other night that went for ~8 minutes, and I racked up over a million skill points giving me a shitload of masteries.

Holy poo poo I am so frustrated at the seasonal street scene event. I'm never getting the Subaru at this rate and I'll have to bank money to get it from the auction house instead. gently caress tunnel run so much.

I hate to recommend anybody ever visit Reddit, but each week the /r/forza sub has a sticky thread for people to discuss the weekly events. There's 2-3 people who post there every week with reliable car/tune combinations for each event, and they've never really let me down. The person I follow is PaperHeartZero, they prioritise handling over raw speed (unless necessary) and often give tips on how to complete in a particular car (eg "using this tune the AI will outpace you up the hills, but you'll fly past in the corners since you never have to brake"). Totally understand if you'd prefer to roll your own combos etc, but that's what works for me.

Goddamn the seasonal playground poo poo is so awful. At least it's over quickly because people quit immediately upon thinking they're going to lose because they still don't realize that they get the festival points even if their team loses.

I don't understand how someone at Microsoft keeps thinking they should bribe people to play modes they don't like. Ah well guess it's better than the way Halo Infinite is doing it.

Doing online races and watching people disconnect when you use the Incoming Microsoft Teams Call horn is endlessly funny.

And yeah I agree that although there's plenty of bugs (particularly in the seasonal stuff), the internet blows things way out of proportion and it's not really that bad. There's a colossal amount of game to play that isn't affected by bugs, and there's still awesome moments to be had.

I got it without doing the trial by doing everything except "knockout 2 people in one Eliminator session" and a couple of the weekly challenges.

lol cubivore i feel really bad about your time i just beat on the coast run street race A, i was a bit slow on the last few turns because i hadn't practiced them much and i saw your ghost catching up to me like crazy so i panicked and just jammed the accelerator and launched forward, which caused me to hit some garbage on the side of the road and lose control and spin out sideways across the finish

ending up beating you by .06 but i do not deserve that run in particular LMAO i wish i had recording on for that one

I'm pretty sure I did the engine swap to whatever the most powerful one was, then upgraded the individual components as much as possible. I followed Don Joewon Song's video detailing it here:

Ok well I watched him drive and now I feel very "We're stupid and we're gonna die." Watching the stunts he was doing was cool, but when he did that one race with a perfect skill-chain, breezing through a 90-degree turn backwards and then I realized he was setting up his drift for upcoming 90-degree turns at loving 160 mph and crack *ping* why do I try?

Looks like fun.

I've been liking my downloaded vinyls like crazy and if you've got a tune I'm using I've hopefully liked that as well. If not I am going through the #organizing channel at the discord and will be grabbing and liking everything posted in there to date. If anyone cares to do likewise we'd all be grateful.

It's very much real, from my understanding there are a ton of creators catching bans left and right for stupid poo poo. People are getting banned for making anime liveries and apparently even recreating alcohol logos / 420 jokes / 69 jokes are resulting in bans lately.

it is obviously taking the piss out of NKs (i.e kim's) goal of getting nukes, not for NK to be nuked. and its an especially benign joke to ban someone over.
