Only one Backstage pass per week, is this a joke?

[raysattler]

When they first said that you will be able to buy Backstage passes with the Forzathon Points, i was happy that you could buy all cars missing in a relatively short time, when you play a lot. I first thought, why they don't start the Festival Playlists again instead of that, but realized that you then maybe need to wait 4 years till a special car appears again that you need. But now, if you only can buy one Backstage Pass a week, it's not much difference... It really sucks...

The Cars section of the game (at the bottom of one of the latter tabs, not in game right now or I'd tell you exactly), might be labelled "Cars & Horizon Promo" or something like that (because you can also filter captured/not captured) shows you all the cars available in game and how to obtain them, that should have the same info about cars that the Autoshow does.

I already have 90% of the BSP cars from previous seasons, very seldom have I obtained any backstage passes because I didn't like to be subjected to a hefty time consuming trial of sadistic UGC to get one from Super 7;

To me being able to buy them once a week is a godsend. If they were easy to get they wouldn't be special. Some people waited years for a chance for specific cars to drop in seasonals, now all the seasonal unlocks are Backstage. Too bad the outfit unlocks no longer rotate.

Just wish they waived the Online participation requirement from the Star Card while they were at it, by the time I get the Ford Capri FE there won't be any point to drive it.

Well, i would rather grind a bit and get everything, then delete the game reinstalling it if i want to play again in the future having every car and can do what i want, playing with friends and stuff... Now that will take years and i don't want to leave a 100gb game on my ssd for years...

First thankyou for putting the pre-order cars into the backstage

Pls let us purchase or earn reliably more than 1 pass per week - Im aware there is a chance to get one from the super7 but that is not where I want to spend my time

Now that the game is pretty much over I think 3-5 passes per week would be good so people can finish off their car collections

I like it as it is. Keeps the player base healthy. The maps and Forzathon Live are still nicely populated. Once people finish their collections a lot of people will move on which isn't good for the games community.

[zabloing]

Btw any suggestions on which cars to get first? They've added A LOT recently, and I'm kinda overwhelmed with choice. Only interested in good cars for Online racing, not collecting.

The Nissan Silvia Ks with rocket bunny kits and nissans in general are awesome for drifting and all small circuit races. The toyotas as well and the Toyota baja trucks are the best there is. all of the classic ford Escorts wipe up in dirt and street racing.. everything has to be fully modified of course. the Mosler is the best handling car at speed in the game in my exp... set the sways to 25 front and 40 rear and the down force(aero) to around 3/4 slider and there isnt a turn you cant annihilate. fastest car in the game(top speed) is the Ferrari 599 E bar none. the Bowler Land Rover is the best SUV as well as the Lambo Urus that is only unlockable on the island as treasure chest #9 after winning a drift challenge in a ferrari 458.. NOT easy... but you dont need the Urus to win races

Backstage cars may also show up in the weekly race events as well, but of course it'll be random....

I just got the '84 Mugen Civic from one of the seasonal races, so that saves me at least one pass.

also not EVERY desirable car is in the Backstage many are only still in the wheelspins and the rewards for achievements.. the TrackTor is avail in the Top gear story as well as the diesel MB 350D Offroad Wagen. One of the Alpines is avail in the dirt track series too. and now that most every car is essentially avail to everyone... the Auctions should kick up too.

Yeah, but i finished all achievements and would love to get my car collection complete^^ But it's not that big a deal, i just thought i don't want a 100+ GB game on my PC if i just log in once a week for the Backstage Pass. And for me the best car in the game is the Shelby Monaco KC, it's just awesome and you can pretty much use it for everything, i especially love it for drift.

WHat does the backstage pass do if I may ask a terrible q? New to FH4 here.

You get 1 car from a selection of hard to find cars, and you can only buy one backstage pass per week from the forzathon shop for 250 points. So if you have like 20.000 points, you can pretty much not buy anything besides one super wheelspin and one normal per week, + 1 backstage pass... And also, if you are missing more cars, you can also buy a random car for 599 points.

Add to this that now they are just repeating season 77 forever , so once you have the cars from each event in that, you are limited to backstage passes to get many of the cars.

Backstage passes plus the auction house plus the Forzathon shop, which is not that bad.

I agree that endlessly repeating season 77 is extremely poor and very disappointing. The content of seasons 1-76 is still there and it really shouldn't be too much work to put it back in the game. Bascially they only have to remove things that are no longer covered by licensing (like the Quartz cars), but instead they decided to bore people to death ;(
