Oh also I'll never play Top Gear soccer online because of said lobby issues. Oh and once the lobby fills up after 45 minutes someone who's been there for 40 of those minutes leaves and cue domino effect.

Me? Have we raced before? I've had to cut down on the gaming recently cause of school and stuff, and will get back to Forza in a few weeks, but mostly because every time GAFers like Onkel and stuff set up lobbies to race in and have fun I'm at school or asleep :/

Feels bad man.

I need to redo my Sega racing garage. I need the car skins from Daytona USA 1 and 2, Sega Rally, and the F40, Viper and McLaren F1 from Scud Race.

Any suggestions?

Can someone explain the tokens to me? About how much money is a token worth? 2 Tokens can buy anything from 90,000 to 1 mil. and for anything over a mil. = 3 tokens? It seems kinda off, was going to buy a couple of tokens but want to know how many cars i'll be able to get.

Must have only played a couple hours in the last 2 weeks. New job is taking most of my time. Will get back into it mid Dec when holiday vacation rolls around.

Happy Holidays, Eckberg.

Yeah this is also kind of part of the reason why I haven't touched FM4 in a while.. I thought I got something for the money. Believe it or not, aside from the car packs, the other big reason why I went with the LCE was for the VIP package which subconsciously kept me coming back to the game to get some brief stints in.

That isn't there. And yes, I DO still expect Turn10 to hold themselves to what they promised. Seems like the community here has dropped off pretty fucking significantly with no VIP love at all. They just seem to have forgotten about it altogether, and that's a GRAND lack of support, but this is a major fucking turn off, especially amidst them prioritizing rolling out DLC updates before fixing bugs, fixing online, so much shit.

I was really hyped for this game the first week but all of these factors have saddened me pretty greatly. You don't make such a huge community-oriented game and drop the ball on this level.

Is it confirmed that there won't be any VIP gift cars in FM4?
That's the main reason I paid almost twice as much for the LE version of this game. It certainly wasn't for the steel case, wanky book or crappy stickers.

How about some VIP love, Turn 10?

Does anyone know if there are differences in Rivals mode between career and community?
I understand that with Live Free you can access Career Rivals but not Community Rivals, but they look like the same content to me (as a current gold sub).

As far as I know it is the exact same content, just two different ways to get to it.

Dammit, you just beat me. I got distracted watching videos of a 917 being restored.

And all I will say is..


......WHERE IS MY DODGE OMNI GLH-S??????

Honestly, it is a fairly mixed bag of a pack. Some really fun cars and some pointless cars. But that Monster SX4 is just a tease with no rally stages. But it will be a blast for doing a Hill Climb in Kaido.

Which is what I am thinking might be our Event for this pack.

My guesses as to availability added.
I'm happy with the pack because of the Scirocco, RS1800, Spider, and 300S.

Just a thought, shouldn't the Raptor be completely immune to the sticky grass and gravel at every track. That'd make it a very interesting Tag warrior.

I don't really like this trend set by some FM3 DLCs and the november DLC to put a duplicate car in the pack. Last month it was the Scirroco and this month it's the RX-8. I get it's not exactly the same version but to me it feels like we're loosing a slot in each DLC.

The DLC pack seems pretty good IMO but I agree on the SX4, Turn 10 sure know how to cocktease us. Also the F150 visual upgrades comments by IGN excite me, should be awesome for Tag. :D

I still don't get why T10 is so silent! Tell us something, anything!

What is the status of the Wheel glitches?
Marketplace hackers stealing designs?
Glitch cars on the LB?
Update on rivals events?
Gifts for VIPs?




Ugh.

I for one welcome our new RX8 overlord.
It's past due for us to get a stock, and current model RX8.
That mazdaspeed version is on hideous mess.
As a rotary enthusiast and season pass purchaser, I approve of this addition.

Also, that Escort and 'Monster' Suzuki...!!

The Maserati GT4 and 'aero/kit' options for that Ford raptor look interesting enough for me to get back playing this game.

Not bad, IMO, and this is a very surprising mix of cars that I definitely was not expecting to see.

Can't help but feel there should have been two packs, or even a few more cars slotted in for Xmas time...

Thinks we'd like some sort of update on. Even if they say they have no update for us! At least acknowledge our concerns! I've dropped around $250 into this franchise in the form of LCEs and DLC packs spanning F3 and F4, I'd like some sort of answer regarding our concerns. Thanks for the additional concern, Badned, I'll add it.

Update on rivals events?
Gifts for VIPs?
Compensation for LCE + Season Pass buyers? (250k credits can be made in five mins in Rivals mode, and they even haven't come clean on giving out that amount!)


I wanna keep a running list of these things, so if anyone has any other issues they'd like me add, feel free to do so.

come on, you left out the most important - what happened to the missing fm3 ribbons, specifically rally di positano full!?

Rivals mode ghost disable option and choose new rival at end of race.

And my fantasy:
Cumulative bounty for each person defeated below your registered time rather than sandbagging and choosing the next faster rival.

Seeing the entrance to the long course blocked off by a grandstand is such a cocktease. At this point, I've lost so much momentum on the Event list (down to maybe one or two races a day) from the lack of any sort of new direction or insight from T10, that I don't know if track DLC is worth it for me now. I hope they can turn this around, quick.

Disabling Ghosts on Rivals mode/changing transparency.

Does anyone remember how they were going to give everyone who bought the DLCs someting like $100k so they could purchase the cars in Forza 3? And then that never happened?

Yeah....

Meh new pack isn't all that great. Only thing that stands out for me is the Scirocco and SX4. This a pipe dream at best but it would be cool if T10 gifted all the DLC cars to LCE + season pass buyers. as someone mentioned before 250k is crap, may have been okay when the game first released but 2 months in, its useless. I'll keep playing Batman AC and f1 2011 till this shit is sorted

The other RX8 is a 2004 version. I dont see how thats a duplicate in the least.

Looking forward to the new DLC, but nothing particularly stands out. I wonder what it means to be the 'IGN' pack?

Haha. Seriously though I feel the same way. So far, these packs haven't been worth the Season Pass IMO. Still waiting on the 250k, the VIP perk cars, etc.
I wish I just would have bought the regular version at this point.

But I sure am a sucker for extra content in racing games and DLC packs.

Definitely waiting on some track DLC, if that ever does come.

Edit- Seanspeed- maybe IGN livery themed?
Like the Speedhunters pack in Shift 2?

It's definitely surprising though... the first few weeks after release were abundant with communication from T10, both on their Twitter feed and via the weekly reports, but there's been nothing other than the occasional FYI on server downtime. Quite disappointing, TBH.

The lack of VIP weekly/monthly (or however frequent it was) is a kick in the balls, too. So far for buying VIP I think we have... a few extra cars and a symbol next to our name on the leaderboards?

I meant duplicate as in "it looks almost identical" (apart from the body kits, it does right ? I'm on the phone right now so can't see the screenshots in big size). I would have prefered an entirely new car, that's all I'm saying. I'm a bit contradictory on the subject of duplicates though, I mean, I'd kill to see the gorgeous E Class Coupe making its way in the game even if we already have the sedan version for example... :lol

Loving all the 80's cars in the next pack! Stuff like that makes me want to get back into the game and snap some pics! The Ford Raptor looks really sweet as well!
