Yeah, I definitely wasn't sitting on millions on the first day of FH4. Wheelspins are too generous with money and not enough with new clothes :argh:

I bought sunglasses that cost as much 1/5th of a new Acura, worth

I read somewhere that said they have over 700k people playing right now.

some of the leaderboards go that high, but I highly doubt that many bought premium, it might be a mass scripted testing thing

Eliminator is terrible, but the season challenge is generous with 30th place, I say as 28th place. Also someone finally uploaded the Hospital Records playlist to youtube :cheers:

if you don't want crappy socks etc in your wheelspins just buy them before, unlike cars you can't have duplicate clothing :eng101:


also they started cracking down on the 50 laps farming, you can't change the laps in the editor anymore and they reduced the laps of existing custom runs

there still are some 50s, you need to check with "properties" if they actually have the laps that are advertised

You must have the blandest taste in the world if you think the Forza Horizon 5 soundtrack is good. I've never experienced a worse soundtrack using real songs in my life, there is not a single "banger" as it were. It all sounds like the music you hear in a restaurant. In fact my boyfriend works at a chain restaurant and he says "oh god they play this track constantly at work" over and over when I play.

What car and strategy is yielding the most skillpoints right now?

in addition to what others said: you can still do afk auto-steer + auto-brake 50 Goliath laps; take a x999 with tons of handling and downforce (two tricky hairpins for the AI), you should get over 300 skillpoints and 50 spins overnight/while at work

How do you turn on auto drive?

set all steering and breaking to easiest, tape down accelerate, have a car that manages to drive fast and stay on the line, use one of the custom Goliath races

(use the original to testdrive your setup, if you hit the rocks in that one curve your car is too fast)

blech. seasonal stuff is still so bugged... the newest one is saying the objective is 1 meter more, after every jump, no matter how much I beat the previous PB by. compounded by the other major release for the year (bf2042) being hot garbage releasing unfinished poo poo is annoying the gently caress out of me and only renting them for 10 bux isn't making it any better.

I get the solution is to change the radio to off and play Spotify or a podcast in the background, but the music of forza 5, like forza 4, is really awful. Always let down by the classical stations composing entirely of songs used in commercials or cartoons, and of course everything else is stuff you’d hear on top 40s retail radio.

don't turn the radio off!!! turn the volume to zero so you can still get skill songs (classic has the longest)

azflyboy posted:

Has anyone figured out why adding better parts to cars will occasionally drop some of the "scores" for things like breaking or acceleration?

The one I keep noticing is that adding engine upgrades or better brakes makes the handling stat turn red (although the number only rarely seems to change), which makes zero sense because the parts don't make the car any heavier, and usually subtract some weight.

several cars have such lovely built in aerodynamics and weight distribution, if you increase their horsepower by a little bit they only get more unwieldy (older cars mostly)

This is a stupid question but is there is any reason to horde money in this game? Like for DLC purchases or anything.

I do see auctions for 20M cars and I might want one of those one day. I got that covered in spades.

All good, or more?

what do you mean hoard? just play normally, buy tuning stuff and cars you need, don't play just to grind money you'll burn out


I guess afk goliaths for wheelspins but that's gonna dry up anyway as you level up

I got a Hoonitruck from a wheelspin last night.

When I saw it, I thought "If I had to design a vehicle for the douchiest dudebro I've ever met, this would be that vehicle" -- but I tried it, and the thing is turning out to be an absolute monster at racking up fast skill points.

I only need 5 more season points to get the second car for Autumn, but I've done all of the events I want to do. It looks like none of the second seasonal reward cars are exclusive to the seasons though?

correct, they are just rare

how do I see what cars are in a category like "Collector's Series" for the seasonal arena?

you can filter in the car selector, if nothing shows up you need to buy one (same filter in the market)
