Festival Playlist

[Chino]

I've noticed that over time, playlists are being created on purpose to take longer to complete.

An example is racing with class C cars and reducing points for some tasks. In my opinion, it makes the game more boring.

Am I the only one who noticed this or am I going crazy?

I'm starting to think about stop playing the festival playlists because it's simply taking too much time to win cars that have little value/performance and are only rare because they only appear a few times to be redeemed.

It also promotes the DLC purchases.

Which make up the point differences.

Who cares it is all "fun"?

Maybe if you're trying to clear playlist. Unless something catchers my eye I do only required 40 points, so this week took me pretty normal 1 and half hour.

2 points carry over from monthly rivals
starting with meat of playlist:
Trial: 10 points // 12 points
2 Championships: 2 x 5 points // 22 points <- Tier 1 reward gained
Stunts: 6 points // 28 points
then minimal effort points:
Weekly: 5 points // 33 points
Photo: 2 points // 35 points
Treasure: 3 points // 38 points
then it takes just any event lab, DLC event, or just 2 dailes to hit 40 points and unlock Tier 2 reward.

I do the same except for the past few seasons I haven't even been doing the Trial. I make it up with the Rally Championship and the Rally and HW PR Stunts.

I prefer racing c and d class cars honestly, its just more fun to me. But yeah, they've reduced some of the point counts so you actually have to do more than just the races. Feels fine to me, really.

Remenber, you pay for the game, it's not an free to play.

I find it fun, but that's just me. Unless it's Cross Country with road cars and drift events.

[CascadeHush]

It's a chance to drive some cars I may not drive very often, or tune a new car for a specific challenge. My favourite is the Treasure Hunt even though I really don't need the credits or forzathons. Last week we had the dam and I didn't even know it was there so I got to see a new place on the map.

Usually for me it's a chill Friday night with YouTube vids on my laptop next to me. They could have just given us the game with all the events and stories but they also give us new stuff every week. Take it for what it is, or ignore it.

Remember - you don't continuously pay for the game unless you want to. You've purchased the game and play it for as long you're entertained by it, or regardless. There's no requirement on you to spend time on the game. If you're bored - you're free to move along. It's the same with all entertainment products you consume.

As for the topic. I believe it's a fine balance the devs have to tread. There has to be enough hoops to jump through to get the rewards, but it can't become too much of a chore. After two years since release, it's reasonable to assume more people will have gotten somewhat bored and found other games to play. I think the weeklys are reasonable. Could be better, but good enough.
If you want to be constructive - offer solutions to your perceived issues.

The first part of your comment makes absolutely no sense.

The developers make car packs that honestly aren't that great for the value they put in, so it's not even worth spending money on the dlcs.

The community really likes cars doesn't need events to stay active in the game. After all, the fun is pushing the car to the limit and not doing repeated races to get worthless cars.

More tuning options were enough to keep the game alive, giving the community more freedom to build their cars the way they want in addition to having options such as 1 identical Forza Edition spoiler for practically all cars.

Fun is subjective and to each-their own. I don't buy car packs because I don't need them to enhance my game experience in this game.

I personally enjoy the c-class race events and all the different ones that specify which different type of vehicles to use. I am a racer and not a tuner and enjoy the variety of such. I also do a lot of co-op racing which is quite enjoyable to see the different cars and tunes with most people casually enjoying the races.

Also, if you want to shorten the tournament races you can do them in co-op and it will become 2-races against the bots instead of 3 races more times than not. There are some rare occasions a group will go to the 3rd race, but it's usually due to shenanigans.

Maybe take a break from the game for a bit and come back later? Even for a week, or a whole playlist for a month, or even longer. I take breaks from this game when it starts feeling dull and whenever I come back it is always exciting to do the events etc again. Though i tend to stay away from DLC zones for my own reasons.

It's relevant. You can ask for clarification on the parts you fail to understand.

The developers make car packs that honestly aren't that great for the value they put in, so it's not even worth spending money on the dlcs.

Which is where your decision to buy or not to buy comes in.

The community really likes cars doesn't need events to stay active in the game. After all, the fun is pushing the car to the limit and not doing repeated races to get worthless cars.

Where you specifically find the entertainment is very subjective. Don't assume to speak for the whole community.

More tuning options were enough to keep the game alive, giving the community more freedom to build their cars the way they want in addition to having options such as 1 identical Forza Edition spoiler for practically all cars.

It's just your interpretation. It sure helps, but it's just a part of the service and support of the game. Again very subjective where you find the entertainment and will to continue to play the game.

Instead of trying to explain what the community want and what kept the game alive, try make suggestions for what you'd like to see going forward. It's more constructive.
