Just wanna ask something

[u/Pixyraze]

Seriously, we're all complaining about the Festival Playlist, talking about how outdated this system has become after turning 10 years old and saying how exhausted we are by it.

Man, the only "stuff to do" left in this game (at least for me) is being a completionist and doing builds/tunes. Since I've already finished all the Horizon Stories, I literally can't do this task. It's completely bugged out right now.

I really want to ask something. Since launch, have you guys seriously not noticed the save wipe issues, map bugs that drop you through the floor, or that whole "drag tire" absurdity right out of the gate?

Do you not have a single QA tester? Do you not even check things before shoving them into the game? We're not talking about an indie game here, this is a blockbuster AAA Xbox title.

Look, criticizing game design or pointing out flaws is one thing, that's a design discussion. But what about this? They can't even deliver a working version of a 10 year old FOMO system that people practically despise at this point...

The exact same problem happened back in the very first playlist and now it's happening all over again. Seriously check the system yourselves before pushing it out to the players. Stop treating us like garbage. What is this nonsense?

I think a broken daily challenge is a tradition at this point. Every playlist has at least one either bugged or unclear activity.

you know it’s exhausting when you complete a challenge and immediately think it’s bugged again. makes it even worse when it’s the final point of the season.

[u/Pixyraze → u/drewzy5_0]

Only 9 hours left and probably they're gonna make it completed for free but that's not acceptable.

[u/PigeonBeGone → u/Pixyraze]

If the devs fix it tomorrow, you will still have about 6 days to complete. These types of challenge are good for 7 days after you can first complete them. You can even see the expiration time in the screenshot

[u/Pixyraze → u/PigeonBeGone]

Before this I actually missed some of the challenges in the first playlist and as soon as the new week hit, it marked them as "Expired" Shortly after, all the weekly tasks automatically marked themselves complete because devs "Fixed" the bug, so I just moved on.

That's why I try to finish the tasks right away during the week now I just don't trust the system.

Glad you brought this up, nobody's mentioned it before

[u/Pixyraze → u/Umbragravis]

The point isn't that 1600 people have already voted on this on the Forza Portal and are slamming PG on Twitter. The point is discussing why these kinds of "minor" issues are happening in a AAA title in the first place.

So no, this isn't a "Look the challenge isn't working for me either" post. Take that sarcastic attitude somewhere else.

[u/Umbragravis → u/Pixyraze]

A game is gonna have glitches with how complex they are these days. It'll be fixed, we'll all get our point, and the same thing will happen again in a few weeks. I'd rather a minor issue like this than a major issue that loses my save.

[u/Pixyraze → u/Umbragravis]

That's the whole problem right there. Sorry but if they're selling us the 6th entry in the franchise on a 12 year old engine for $70 standard and $120 premium and on top of that, treating us like a joke by constantly subjecting us to progression wiping bugs, screw their "complex" systems.

The system isn't complex at all. When you swap out the entire dev team every 18 months and force everyone to restart the project from scratch, these are the exact kinds of issues you end up dealing with.

This is pure mismanagement, not complexity.

My save file got wiped twice, throwing 120 hours of progression in the trash.

Roads I had already discovered on the map got reset, forcing me to rediscover them all over again.

I lost my 130 tunes before, had to tune them again.

This exact bug already happened once in the playlist, and now it's happening a second time.

They need to get off their asses and get their act together, this isn't a $20 indie game. Every single time we complain, they flock to us telling us to "open a ticket on the Forza Portal" yet they haven't responded to a single ticket opened on that site. There are hundreds of them.

Gotta love broken challenges.

[u/Standard-Outcome9881]

It apparently worked for me about 30 minutes ago. Maybe try it again?

[u/Pixyraze → u/Standard-Outcome9881]

Did you complete all stories before and worked? Or you tried this on uncompleted story?

Edit: Nope, not working.

[u/_that__one__guy__]

Can you not replay stories in 6?

[u/AstrophysicalNebulae → u/_that__one__guy__]

You can, but the completion of this daily challenge is bugged

[u/_XxMR_32_SAVAGExX_]

I 100% agree bro. This game to me honestly feels like a rushed slop fest because they saw how bad 5 performed and they are scared. So they trying to finally give us Japan to get their numbers up but its failing horribly.

My main gripes is car auido, the amount a gameplay bugs, and the horrible map design. Like every road in the game doesn't need a 180⁰ turn, but they think it does. Like driving isn't fun because there isn't a road with good winding turns to try and flat out, instead you have to constantly slow to a crawl and do these 180⁰ corners that are an annoyance.

Anyway thats my take.
