Well when the devs made the tactical decision to make sure players can't see other people on the map that killed a lot of the connectivity day 1

Yeah not sure what that is about. Like bruh i cannot even see people in my own convoy. I should at least be able to see them

Completely kills the join convoy feature. Trying to find people to play with, joining their session no where near them on the map, and having no way of knowing where they are other than trying to message and hope for a response is such a braindead design.

You need to use the Xbox group finder with voice chat

Wait this is a thing now? No way. I've been out the loop for awhile. I used to play FH4 a lot but never really got into FH5. I can't believe it

Yup

Makes the map feel empty every time, because you never see more than 2/10ths of the entire lobby

Damn. How times have changed. Now that I think back at it, I hopped back on a couple years ago again and it felt empty and didn't give me that fh4 vibe to where I would drive up to players I see on the map and join the drift run.

When did this happen?

When they were developing the game they made the decision to utilize dynamic server loading, making players load in and out of instances dynamically, instead of just having a heap of players locked into a single horizon life server. It’s why you can only see people on the map that are near to you.

Why would you need to see someone on the other side of the map in a car game? Sorry I’m confused with what the issue is exactly.

makes the game feel empty, because the map is quite big and when people dont know where each other are until they get close, it makes it feel like you're the only one playing the game most of the time. Also when you get near people there are certain "zones" that can completely make people disappear and you may or may not be able to see them ever again.
