    My goal now is to build up a credit cushion and then buy someone a nice car as a rando gift for hitting hall of fame.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    You can do what I did and accidentally buy a 1.5 million car you already have the welcome pack version of.

    I sent it to new players!

    No wait. I put it on the AH for cheap. I got a porsche dupe and put THAT in a barn for a newbie.

    I’m not as cool as I initially put forth.

    It was more I happened to get one for hitting the hall of fame from a fellow player, hilariously it was a dupe of one I had so I paid it forward.

    Lost a race in the eliminator because I had to record my rear wing glitching out. It was worth it.

    How do you get the little camera icon to appear over cars you haven’t photographed? Is that something you unlock after a certain amount of cars photographed or something?

    Purchasing the house on the east coast of the map unlocks Horizon Promo, which is the camera icon.

    Now I feel smart buying all the houses to start.

    I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the icons that just start appearing. I'm spending a lot of time just driving around the Mexican countryside, though, just exploring. This is the kind of racing experience I've been looking for, haha.

    i purchased that but i dont see the icon? Maybe cos i disabled names above cars or something?

    Also I hope they fix the arcade mode soon. It’s really annoying that it’s not working for whatever reason and only letting 1 or 2 people in each event

    do PR stunts not work if you’re in a particular car and/or a car you’ve custom tuned? I set up a fun racing pickup to hook around the dunes in and couldn’t get any PR stunts to start. I tried a drift, danger sign, and some other one. Is this a bug or a limitation based on a car?

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Also when the game says truck, it means something like a Unimog or Semi Racer.

    I just use Anna to point me to the next event basically because I can never decide if I look at the map.

    It was a bug. I closed Forza and reopened it and then no PR stunts were available. Then I restarted the Xbox, closed Forza again, and then they worked.

    The game didn’t say anything, it just wasn’t letting me start any PR stunts.

    Don't worry about feeling overwhelmed. I had this conversation with a friend the other day.

    While there certainly is progression, this isn't an Assassin's Creed or whatever; you aren't obligated to climb the loot ladder because the game demands you do it. Do whatever you feel like doing, and Horizon will reward you in some way. If you want more rewards and cool shit dumped on you in buckets, yeah, you're probably gonna want to unlock all the adventures and work on the seasonal events, but even just driving aimlessly across the desert, bouncing on dunes and racking up Smactuses will get you oodles of skill points and xp.

    I think that's why, in spite of Horizon being just as map-icon-vomit crazy as other open world games, Horizon is getting such a strong positive reception. It just doesn't matter what you want to do, Forza Horizon encourages it and welcomes you, and Playground Games has used that philosophy for several games in a row now.

    Maybe that's why I don't like a lot of modern game design; there's so much fucking friction. Everyone wants their games to be Dark Souls but also have crafting but also have multi-hour cinematics but also have loot and skill trees and blah blah blah. And then Forza Horizon is like "here's some cars, now throw them off a ramp or two."

    Shit those numbers are just jumping.

    Also I did it I fucking did it I got 3 stars on a drift event the seasonal even! What helped me and maybe it'll help you if you are struggling is to take "big swings" that being speed up and do big drifts and don't try and nickle and dime with small dips and dodges.

    How do you get the Landmarks to show up on the map? I haven't seen any options to visit them at all. Is it something you have to unlock by doing missions?

    Expedition unlocks are what opens up places across the map.

    Also Squirrel I saw your rival challenge but it is beneath me YOU ARE BENEATH ME! Also I already finished that challenge so uhh good luck!

    And Michenvalo is an asshole on the forzathon challenges. If you see them in your race congrats there's your poll you must pass them to win.

    Exactly how long are seasons? The game's been out for "a day or three" and the first season's already over? (Was ending in a few hours as of last night.)

    Season seems to be about 7 days (when we started spring in early access it had like 4 days left). This one has more stuff to it, like double the points versus the last one.

    I did notice in summer a lot of the water ways are hella flooded so if you aren't ready for that you'll splish splash your car.

    Seasons are 1 week, reset on Thursday
    The Series is one month, so all 4 seasons

    Also if the points are like last time you don't have to do every activity to get all the cars. But most of them are doable solo. Like the eliminator points are just getting to 30 and that's not too hard once you get a feel for it.

    Thank you to the Club admin who accepted my application to the club. Was there usually a specific night for the prior games where most were on?

    Having a blast with this one so far. Loving the map. Now to paint and vinyl all of my favorite garage cars with N7 designs. Speaking of, if anyone wants an easy to use N7 logo and stripe, just look me up; Jason Marek is my Xbox name.

    Also, difficulty strangeness side note. Anyone find it weird that they no longer reward increased payouts for turning down (or off) the driving line as well as turning on car and tire damage? Those were my usual first ones to change as I got better at the game.

    That was really annoying. I got a bunch of stars in a Ford pickup truck and was really confused why it wasn't unlocking.

    Also, has anyone been able to access the forzathon store? I try every time I log-in just in case, but have yet to be able to.
