So uhh... we've got this huge map, insane number of vehicles... and.... it suddenly dawned on me that i dont have anywhere to race them... the tiny sliver of easy races in each discipline and thats it. No custom races, no new ones being added, you'd think they would expand it immensely after 2 years, i mean how hard can it be to add new damn races? So what keeps you playing guys because im starting to think that im kind of done with all this?... I got touring cars and alpha gp just collecting dust because they literally not used anywhere, not in summits, not in multiplayer and im already bored with those 8 or so races each one of them have... How they managed to make this huge game so empty and its not like i can just explore and progress, no, i have to do the same races because thats the only way of earning money to buy new cars...
i agree touring car and alpha gp are my favorite 2 disciplines in the game but barely any thought has been put into those disciplines, hardly any new races for those especially outside the respective circuits, i want city to city point to point races using touring cars and alpha gp vehicles or any races on proper roads to enjoy touring cars but no instead they focus on ****ty street races because they want to keep those stupid kids happy and playing, every post update since release street race disciplines always gets the most new events and other disciplines get forgotten, we got 1 new touring car race since post release which came in 2019 serial jumpers and they had to ruin that race by adding dozens of ramps because they think its fun, its a great track if it did not have any stupid ramps, i genuinely think that some of the devs working at ivory tower have a brain of a 10 year old as to what they think is fun..
I love a good grind, i really do, i spend thousand hours in Warframe alone, if the grind implemented well it is satisfying, but here... grind for what? For the cars? To then what? Do the same **** 5 races you already did million times to get that one car? And the argument that they are only focused on milking their playerbase and not adding new races or custom races is not working here because... well... the game just made so you wont stick for too long in it anyway, so even if they are focusing on grabbing money ... they have failed at even that, it just boggles my mind that they have custom races in the first game but cant' add it in the second for 2 years...Originally Posted by XBL_Laberbacke Go to original post
In The Crew you had the ability to create your own race, it would be great if they brought back that feature. There are many things that they had in the first game that they got rid of which they should bring back including being able to preselect your vehicle before a race instead of being shoved into a vehicle and then scrambling to switch to the vehicle you desire to use before your time runs out. I definitely agree with you that they seem to listen to kids, hence why so much effort is put into lighting effects and smokes etc and not on more important things like game stability and extra races etc.
Did you make it to ICON rank yet? You'll unlock more races as you rank up your...position?Originally Posted by Lladerat Go to original post
Do one race even in each discipline to unlock further.
This game is a huge grind, but it depends what you want to get out of it. You can gain a ton of money, max out all your rides, compete in Summits, create new liveries, complete daily challenges, work on Motorpass, form Crews, cruise the USA, etc. There's actually lots to do in this game, and it weirdly gets more fun the longer you put time and effort into it. I'm ICON 1660, so I do have some notion of what I'm talking about here.
Edit:
What keeps me playing? Not really sure at this point TBPH. A combination of investing hours upon hours into the game and having a game capable of cruising the entire US of A. I'm also a livery creator, so there's that, too.
Im 170 i finished motorpass and i've finished all the races there are in the game, they only focused on street racing, other disciplines are barely touched and the fact that i got all of these beautiful roads , almost infinite possibilities to race anything i want.. .and i cant.. lets say i want to race on a dirt bike... i only got 8 races in the game for it, isn't this pathetic? why can't i race wherever and however i want? why i am limited to lousy 8 races, whats the point of having this huge open map then? i got thousands of km of roads and even more offroad and all i can do is 8 races, this is what pisses me (and im sure many others) off.
The reason being is because motocross has had NO new events since the game was released, were coming up to the 3rd year and they still haven't come up a new track for motocross which is pathetic, there is so many dirt roads that are not used that can be used for events especially motocross but we have been stuck on those 8 events since, nobody has complained about this, when they changed the handling for motocross the community was up in arms saying they didnt like the new handling etc when in my opinion the handling was welcome change indeed and has made the motocross handling way more fun and i thought they might actually focus on adding NEW events for motocross but no they just left at that, all people do is ask for more cars and more cars which the car list is already feeling bloated and in reality on a handful of cars will ever be driven and the rest sitting in the garage collecting dust, maybe if all the community got up in arms and said that we dont want street race events and the focus should go on other disciplines and should get more events then maybe something would be done, people are happy to just accept cars and some kid trash street events there rolling out...Originally Posted by Lladerat Go to original post
You can ram people but the physics are garbage. You just bounce off each other like pinballs. Also, there seems to be some weird distance limiter or something. If you are behind another player, you'll stay behind them, especially if you are in the same vehicle class. It's super weird.Originally Posted by urtv008 Go to original post
Also, there never was going to be actual police, but you can use the Motorpass tier rewards and custom liveries to make your own police vehicles YA know.
EDIT:
1) MX handling completely ruined the experience and feel of ALL BIKES. Not just MX, which made the best RR bike hot garbage.
2) TC1 emphasized street races, ground vehicles, and police. Blame the first game for programming how players perceived TC2 to continue because it appears that they tried to pull a complete 180 and it bit them in the posterior.
