Seasonal Event # 5 Expectations

[f1webberfan]

I presume they will be restricted this time.

 

[II IVORBIGUN II]

I would like to see a time trial that is restricted to just one stock car. Also I would like to see a time trial that allows skid recovery force on.

Will add im not suggesting this for myself because I use a wheel and currently enjoy the time trials. Im thinking of my friends who do not own a wheel and do not stand a chance using the DS3.

 

[Electric_Wizard]

I'd like to see a Seasonal Event at La Sarthe with LMP cars or in a Citroen GT.
And an event when you use the latest Subaru Impreza.

 

[xeoreg]

I want a go kart event

 

[MmmmBeeeer]

I hope they just put the cash and XP into my account

👍 Exactly. If you aren't going to make them hard, just give the rewards to us. Save me some time.

I want a go kart event

Hell yeah i want to use my kart for everything, why dont they put in 250cc geared karts then we could actually use it for a-spec.

Personally im still waiting to see a Metro 6R4 added to the classic rally cars hopefully on one of the events.

 

[gambleboyen]

They could put some matte/chrome paints as prizes.

Something interesting would be good. Maybe the level designers haven't noticed it yet, but: There are features like rain, damage and pit stops in the game.

Some possible scenarios:
- You are in the lead, but rain starts and you are on slicks. Defend the first place against bots who are on rain tires.
- You have to finish a race with a damaged car. Multiple starting positions are possible.
- Time trial with a damaged car. You have to beat certain limits for bronze, silver and gold.
- You are in the lead by about 20 seconds, but your fuel runs low. You have to do a pit stop, while the bots have enough fuel to finish the race. In the first laps you have to build up some distance to get a good position after the stop. Then you have to overtake the bots that have passed you during your stop.

But I guess we will see another 5 races with dry weather, where you have to overtake all bots. It seems that's all the designers can think of.

"I think the "catching up" aspect of the Seasonal Event is fun, but I think PD should put in an event where we are trying to "run away" or "fence off" chasing opponents. As most people would agree, catching up is pretty easy, as you are putting pressure on the others(well, the presssure part is almost non-existence in the AI world), but if PD could develop better AI where we have to fence them off, or that they do the chasing instead, that would be a blast IMO.."

genious...something outside the box would satisfy everybody

 

[ozirules]

Give me some different tracks like reverse Tokyo ,rev Grand Vally etc [loved the rev trial mtn & why is it not in the game ]
Races for some of the crap prize cars we won .
Ozi

 

[Senojelyk]

Wouldnt mind an event requiring the ferrari f2010 or something like that.

Make the prize money upwards of 10m so its worth buying and doing

 

[ragnar666]

I want a go kart event

5 laps of go karting around the nurburgring, against real cars. only catch is, your IN FRONT this time with a decent margin and have to fend them off.

 

[Predwolf]

What I'd like to see First and foremost: More karting. After that, some longer races for more cash would be nice, or more races using the same car we just bought for that. Mini-series' if you will. Two-three races, each paying out a good chunk of cash and XP.

Keep the restrictions the way the are now, because it allows the struggling players who need the money and XP badly to have some fun, as well as letting the advanced players handicap themselves to make it more of a challenge.

 

[Snoz86]

When does the seasonal 5 event come out?

 

[djKyoto]

When does the seasonal 5 event come out?

When #3 expires most likely, on the 19/20th.

 

[gambleboyen]

Unrestricted, but you start more than a lap behind everyone, so you have to catch everyone twice to win. In 5 laps? Make it 10.

Trial Mountain Reverse IS in the game

 

[millross]

DESPERATELY want to see some new ideas and not Grand Valley, Trial Mountain, Deep Forest or the 'Ring, which seem to feature every week...

Autumn ring, Monza, Suzuka, Top gear track, SSR5, Le Sarthe - please feature some of these and please no more electric cars!!

Don't tend to run the time trials often but would be nice to see one of the two events for high HP cars, like 600+ BHP

 

[TRC GeorgiaDawg]

I think there should be more of them, all unrestricted. They should all have higher payouts. Something like 5 laps, whatever car you want, payout 20 million sounds about right.

 

[FLX1981]

I just hope they use some of the other tracks... top gear, autumn ring, london... and some in reverse, that would be cool aswell.

For the cars, I hope for the C63 AMG, the ZR1 and maybe the RS6. The 88' Silvia would be nice too. For the first one with the small kars... Suzuki Swift maybe.

 

[Merquise]

I'd like to see the next SE5 to be restricted for the first 2 weeks, so the die hards can have a go.
After the 2 weeks there should be a restriction-free period of 1 week so everybody is able to get the cash and the xp.

Problem solved.

Agree, I like the current format as I'm not QUITE at the standard of getting first so can give the car a SMALL tweak and give myself the same level of challenge. I don't mind coming second as I enjoy the racing part (which people tend to miss amongst all of the given wins...) but I do also need those credits and experience to keep moving forward with the other parts of the game, i.e to have MORE fun... Again something missed by others on occasion.

 

[Gejabo]

I would like them to be tuning restricted again, because that is what gives the fun to the seasonal events

Or you could just start of trying it with a stock version of the car they provide

 

[professorkaos]

nurburgring go carts!

 

[marcandre187]

I prefer unrestricted but I hope these are restricted. Quiet down the whiners for a bit

 

[garbuckle]

I'd like to see some races for all these pre-'80's K cars I've got in my garage lol

But I'm sure that won't happen, because the Seasonal Events are usually just for promoting Premium cars.

Maybe they'll put in a Schwimmwagen race...

 

[slims]

Definitely need different tracks.

Restricted or unrestricted doesn't matter to me as I usually try the events with the cars either stock or lightly modified (sports tires + air filter) and go from there. Keeping them unrestricted makes them more accessible to all as well.

As for content, karting could be interesting if it's something interesting like kart vs cars if not it might just be another kart race similar to the ones in the Special Events section. Starting in front and having to drive like crazy to beat a faster car closing in on you would be great if done right. Maybe a snow or dirt event or an event on a course created by PD in the course maker. I'm not too bored with the current format but I think they'll have to switch it up soon to keep it entertaining.

What was so funny about the 1st and 2nd bonus races?

They had tuning restrictions, so the races were more challening. Now i don't know how to make the bonus races as difficult as the first ones... =)

start off stock, if it is impossible, step up the tires a notch, rinse repeat. Done all the seasonals stock but bumped the tires on most of them, but it is more fun when it is hard, the rest of the game is a bit too easy.

 

[Barbol]

Exactly, you can try stock if you think that hard is more fun
