The Crew: Wild Run Edition

Anyone find it impossible or extremely hard to get the platinum parts for raid / dirt spec cars? I've been having some serious trouble trying to get some for my raid spec ford focus and my dirt spec camaro.

No, it's easy just do all the hill climb events. Also, try doing midwest/west coast skill challenges, they tend to be easier

As a fan of primarily racing games and other open world games like Just Cause and Red Dead Redemption, I find this game very entertaining. GT6 unfortunately seemed stale to me and was the first in the GT series that I lost the desire to finish. My gaming habits are changing and this game is great to pick up and instantly have fun. At only a couple hours a week to play, it should keep me happy for a long time.

What I love about this game is the huge map and the ability to pick a car and drive it where ever you like. I love that you can drive to a race track, switch to a circuit car, run some hot laps, then switch back to a street car and cruise somewhere else.

In my opinion, this concept should be a natural evolution to the Gran Turismo/ Forza series. I want an open world game where I can start from scratch in the racing world and work my way up the ranks starting with Karting, then modified series, eventually to GT/professional style races and Rally races.

But here's the angle,

I want to start with a house and a garage (TDU style) and be able to buy bigger houses/garages with my race earnings and of course, more cars to race with. Imagine being able to leave your house, drive to the race the local track, win a race or two, and then drive home, to a car dealer, race tuner etc. Now imagine this concept with large map, many race tracks in different environments, Forest, Desert, Mountains, Plains and tropical and houses/garages to buy in each area.

This would be my ultimate dream game.
 
I downloaded the update and didn't have the circuit spec Focus. Is it exclusive to the people who buy that DLC?
 
Well the patch finally hit Xbox One sometime yesterday (it was already out for PC/PS4), this is by far the best patch yet. The cockpit view is 100% better now, I used a lot more than the hood cam last night, They took away all of the jerky movements when hard cornering and when using the nitrous. Some of the cars that had wheel ship problems in certain gears have all been fixed. The 1967 Shelby GT500 for example drives perfectly now and is suddenly a great cruising car. I love the new circuit specs that were added yesterday, the 67 GT500 looks great and so does the Focus RS. I didn't get to the 69 Charger or the 69 Camaro circuit cars, those are next. There is 3 new PVP modes and 4 new Faction missions as well.
 
That is a huge list of patch notes. I have not played this game in well over a month but really need to throw it in again. Might even move it over to my new 2 TB hd for my X1.

They increased the Payouts on missions, faction missions and the daily salary too. I logged in last night and got paid $27,554 instead of $2700. When I send friends on factions missions, I normally get a payout of $16,000 for the longer events, now the amount is $32,000 per race.

We should play sometime this weekend. I also need play Dragon Age (it's been 2 weeks) and Horizon 2 (haven't played since Christmas!).

So I wasn't the only one getting unusually large amounts of $$$ per login....
 
Great, payouts get boosted to massive levels just as my PS4 decides not too work. I have the worst luck

Excellent about the new payouts. By the time you get on I might be watching Netflix but if you want to play, just sent me a party invite or a message asking if I want to play. I haven't played DA in a couple weeks and haven't played H2 in about a month. So I am always up for playing either one of those.

Some people were claiming they were getting 6 figure payouts on the daily salary. It's like Christmas in March I guess.

Sorry to hear that Jason, I hope you get it up and running quickly, I'm sure it's still under warranty? I hope Sony takes care of you.

I think the HDMI port is broken, it hardly ever gets a signal and when it does, it breaks up really badly after 30 minutes

Well that's a pain. Hope you get it sorted soon 👍

Until them I guess it's #alwaydrivealone as your crew hashtag, except of course you can't cos it's online only game.

Anyway, best of luck getting it sorted.
 
Anyone have good leveling strategies? I'm trying to get to 50 so I can get the Platinum parts, but I don't want to do the story missions (because I modified the resolution so the game can work on my laptop, so it can be laggy in some parts of missions). Right now, I'm at 37 and have been doing grinding at the Salt Flats Speed zone. I also do a bit of Faction Missions. But are there any other good strategies?

A good place to grind is the salt lake ski jump as it is quick and easy to do, just watch out for the wankers who sit at the bottom of the ramp and try to hit you before you land :rolleyes:
 
There is a faction mission that is really easy. It's what I used to level up. I've not been on the game in ages though so I can't remember what it's called. I'll go on tomorrow sometime and post back the name.
It's a get away from the police mission and it's more or less 100% win rate, as long as it hasn't been patched.
 
I think I know which mission it is. It's the one Raid mission where you have to lose the cops in a ghost town. I don't think I've unlocked it though, might have to get to Level 40.

The one I used was a low level mission. But it leveled me up to 50 in no time really.
 
Had a great time with @DDastardly00 this weekend. Played quite a few hours and I am now level 50. Took quite a few screenshots and made several videos. The recent update greatly improved just about everything in the game. The 69 Camaro Circuit class spec is so sick!! :drool:

It is still there. Midwest, ST Louis. It's called ST Louis Setup. Street Car needed for it.

Soon as you start take the left turn. Then the next left and go towards the helicopter. By the time you have reached the helicopter you will have lost a star and it won't follow you. Then just carry straight on. By the time you have got to the first bridge the stars should have pretty much gone.

For the time it takes to do it pays well.
 
Yesterday my daily spoils were 7K, sent a few freinds on faction missions and now they are at 23K!
