Message: [QUOTE="SlipZtrEm, post: 12389446, member: 15895"] To add to this: give us the production Q60 already, damnit! I agree — and I sort of touch on that in the article. Prize cars, in and of themselves, are a good thing IMO; there's got to be some level of "progression". Even as far back as GT1, cars like the Nismo 400R were only available via specific task completion (gold licenses). FM2 had unique prize cars as well. The main issues with the locked cars in FM7, at least from my perspective, were two things. One, it was a huge proportion of the entire car list. Two, there was no clear progression path. I wanted a Prowler so that I could swap a V8 into it and recreate a car that did well for me in online racing in FM6. I couldn't do that — and there was no way of knowing [I]when[/I] I could. That also suggested that whenever T10 stopped supporting FM7, all of those cars would be unavailable to any players that joined in the fray later on in the game's life. That's... unfortunate, even if I understand it from a business perspective. Give players a clear progression path, and even if they can't immediately achieve it, they know how. Obscure it behind time-sensitive locks, but with no real schedule to plan ahead, and players will become frustrated. I absolutely agree that a Used Car Dealership would be fantastic in Forza. Nobody else can really do it at this point, and considering the game's community-oriented features like the Auction House and the buying/selling of tunes/liveries/etc, it could be a very cool way to influence "the hunt". Then again, I guess that's sort of the Auction House's purpose right now, really; usually, you can find one of the brand new cars for a deal, if you're willing to look. Er, probably not; if [USER=291281]@Nacho Libre[/USER] owns anywhere around 80–100 cars I'd bet he's already at Tier 5. And even if he weren't, there's plenty of ways to get there without doing the Sebring race. [/QUOTE]
