What did you do in FH6 today?

[GTvsForza]

Jumped into an R Class lobby to get the Skyrim horn... the Alfa is scary grippy, I felt bad winning...

 

[DextroCat]

For some reason I thought the new playlist season started at 12 noon rather than 10 AM so I didn’t get the tandem drift event from last week finished in time. I had completed every playlist event up to that point but oh well.

I finished most of the new playlist and got my reward cars. At some point I decided to buy 2 of every previous playlist reward car and I managed to find just about all of them all in the AH for 11 million or less. I did decide not to get a second Toyota AT37 or Ram SRT-10 since I’m not really big on trucks though.

I also made it to 150 million credits using the AH but realized that I was missing a second Mazda Cosmo; so I bid 13 million on one and ended up winning it. Now I “only” have 137 million credits left LMAO.

Since there isn't a whole lot to do in the game after completing the single-player campaign, you have to find new goals. Getting incredibly rich in the AH by flipping cars to get five copies of each non-autoshow car is one of them for me.

I agree.Once you have the golden wristband the game,for me anyway,tends to slow up.The thing is,you cant take your time to progress through the game at your own pace,you need that gold wristband unlocked if you want access to the trial in the playlists.If that wasnt the case I could have fleshed it out a little longer.
Ive done the storys,3-starred the stunt events,apart from the drift ones which I have zero interest in,and re-done some of the wristband races with different cars,apart from doing the festival playlists I dont really play a lot now.Its not a complaint from me,just my take on the progress design.Im looking forward to the first expansion pack. 👍

Did the upgrades daily task on the Super Hot Hatch and the car did pretty well on the Edamame TA. The Megane R.S. seems to be a much grippier car and well suited for this circuit.

 

[Populuxe]

Today’s daily was spend 15K credits on a car. I happen to have started on a big project, filling in the mastery trees on all my cars, and at the same time, building them to the max of their current performance class. The 695 Biposto is the car I was working on at the time, so that’s the one that got me the daily. Abarth and Acura are complete. On to Alfa Romeo.

S2-class Dirt Rivals in the MX-5 Forza Edition. Yikes... but I'm doing okay so far.

Log Entry: Day 47
Location: Auction House
Mission status: Unsuccessful

Another attempt to snipe a Nissan 240SX S13. The vehicle popped up on the market for under 100 000, but another user hit the buyout first just a fraction of a second ahead of me. Standard market attempts keep falling through. I'm losing hope. Looks like paying the full 20,000,000 CR buyout price might be the only reliable way to actually get one.

How many cars don’t you own? If you clear the Autoshow cars, then your chances of getting one in a wheelspin should be very high.

There is like 159 "not owned" cars in autoshow.
In last weeks I've seen like 10 S13s in AH for under 100 000 and probably same amount with higher prices, but not 20mil. I'm just slow with my buttons.
But don't worry, it is not that serious, it was only supposed to sound like "long journey"
And thank you for that tip ❤️

EDIT: just sold Datsun 2000 for 20mil, so maybe I'll just straight up buy S13

What gave you that wild idea? The chances of getting an exclusive Wheelspin vehicle are completely independent of whether—or how many—Autoshow models you own.

IIRC the 240sx is Epic. If you buy all of the Epic autoshow cars the game will prioritize what's missing, like Jezza mentioned. It is by the Common/Rare/Epic/Legendary groups. If there are other Epic wheelspin cars you are missing it will also fill those in.

In 5 toward the end I was fairly bored with the game so I started running wheelspins to get some wheelspin exclusives. I sold all AE86s and 22Bs. The most weeks with just the seasonal/vip spins I got one or two AE86s and maybe a 22B. As soon as I got one I would list it and continue with the spins. Occasionally there was a blank week but it does work pretty reliably especially with cars below Legendary.

Edit: Nice luck selling the Datsun 2000!

 

[shaboo]

Drawing general conclusions from purely anecdotical evidence is always dubious. My experience with thousands of Wheelspins in FH6 doesn't bear this out, and it wouldn't make much sense in terms of game mechanics if the probability of getting an exclusive car from a Wheelspin could be increased simply by buying specific Autoshow cars.

 

[WhiteBurrito]

It does work, you should try it. In 5 I carelessly sold a wheelspin only car just to have it show up later in the day. I've seen a couple of posts elsewhere where people have specifically farmed the 240 using this technique. When I put the effort into getting all the Epic level cars the 240 landed within a few SWSs.

 

[ziperrPL]

Assuming it works, I would need to buy 60cars. That includes 2x1mil cars, 1x500k, 18x300k, so at least 8mil just on that 21 cars. Will see, maybe I will buy them. That sell of Datsun 2000 should cover it.

And NGL, my point of posting earlier was to play reverse psychology card on universe. Like, you know, here I'm complaining and BOOM 5 minutes later I'm sniping S13 for 19k 😜

 

[shaboo]

If farming rare wheelspin exclusives was actually that easy, the AH would be full of them.

If you already own every epic Wheelspin-exclusive except one, the game might award you that final missing vehicle the next time you spin an epic Wheelspin-exclusive; however, buying standard Autoshow epics won't increase the general odds of that happening.

If players find themselves quickly getting back a car from a Wheelspin that they had previously sold, it is simply because they already own all the other Wheelspin-exclusive cars in that category. The Autoshow models in that same category, on the other hand, have nothing to do with it.

 

[WhiteBurrito]

@ziperrPL
Word!

Edit: I prefer to have my gt as the original owner with the exception of duplicates so personally I did actually do that. I even went through the car collection so I could skip cars that are not available via wheelspin. There are a few. If it's not important to you then the auction house is an easy(?) alternative.

@shaboo
How I've understood the mechanic of the wheelspin is, it tries to fill the garage with missing cars. It's never cared so much whether a car is autoshow or wheelspin only but does prioritize some cars by the level, and then within that. I'm still missing a couple of Legendaries like the Koenigsegg One:1 for example. It's always been very consistent in my experience that the wheelspin cars show up quickly only after acquiring the autoshow list. Otherwise it is very slow because it does include the autoshow cars in what is missing.

We all have our own experiences with the game. If yours are different that's all good too.

 

[ziperrPL]

Ok, so I bought all the missing "epic" cars. It was about 12mil CR as I expected.
Next I bought 5 Mad Mike's wagons for cheap superwheelspins. but no luck in the spins. Plus it even gave me 3 horns to rub it in more.
I was lied to! I'll sue you WhiteBurrito! You will be left with NOTHING❗

If that were the case, then players who already own all the Autoshow models but are still missing Wheelspin exclusives would see a veritable flood of such exclusive vehicles whenever they redeemed their Wheelspins. I cannot recall a single player ever reporting such an experience; on the contrary, this completely contradicts the frequently voiced frustrations of players regarding the persistent scarcity of Wheelspin exclusives. In fact, this feedback—as well as my own experience—suggests that the Wheelspin mechanism strictly separates standard Autoshow models from rare Wheelspin exclusives.

In the end, of course, only the devs know how exactly all of this works.

You can have mine, I don't think I've driven it yet.

 

[shaboo]

It's a shame you cannot gift cars to specific players.

 

[DextroCat]

I’m pretty sure the wheel spins do prioritize cars you don’t currently own, at least for legendary cars.

Before I had every legendary car I sold my Cobra Daytona Coupe to buy a CLK GTR and 599XX E (before the Buyout Limit changed) and then I got the last 4 missing legendary cars without any legendary duplicates in between one after the other and then I got the Daytona back after the other 3 missing ones.

Once I had every car, several times I sold just one car and got that car again from another wheel spin within about a week.

In order to get a second wheel spin exclusive without paying a full 20 million, I would sell just that car to get 17 million credits, wait to get another from a wheel spin, and then buy another from the AH for 20 million so it was more like spending 3 million credits instead.

Twice when it was a legendary car, I got one other legendary car from a spin and the next spin that gave me a legendary car was the missing one. That happened with the Koenigsegg One:1 and Apollo IE.

I did the same thing with the Rimac Nevera and there were maybe 4 other legendary cars before I got the Nevera again, although that time I bought a lot of Fursty’s and farmed the wheel spins rather than earning them through XP like I did for the first two.

I did this with the 240sx and got another one about half an hour after selling it. I might have gotten that car regardless, but I was lucky enough to find a 240sx for only 10 million so I made 7 million credits.

I also sold an AMG GT 4 to get credits and I got several more epic cars from wheel spins in between so it seems to work differently for Epic cars, but I did get it back after about a week.

First time given the MB 190E FE in spec racing, struggled with it's handling in the beginning making a couple of fatal mistakes right at the beginning of the 1st lap putting me in last position and 13s behind...

Turns out it was a fun experience as I tried to pass as many cars as possible thanks to the lap being 2 mins long. I get why this is a mainly solo game against drivatars now, passing cars is a fun part of this game.

I really like the 190 FE in spec-racing. The handling suits me. I also like the MX-5 cup car. Very stable handling and just enough grunt to keep it entertaining.

That was a lot of cars you passed and all pretty cleanly. I guess there's something to be said for using full racing line, especially on a foggy night.

You are of course welcome to believe what you choose. I understand it's difficult to believe without experiencing it, and it is a big ask for someone to do. Most would have to start an alt at this point since they likely have most cars already.

Why you expect to see comments when it takes specific effort to set up the garage for it, I won't understand. Regardless, whatever algorithm you or I think they use I did get most of the wheelspin cars quickly by buying all my remaining autoshow cars and running my collected wheelspins. Clearly their statements about better wheelspin rewards were inaccurate. I get the feeling we can agree on that at least. To me 5 SWSs isn't enough to judge. I can't mentally handle grinding for skill points so I won't ask someone else to.

only the devs know how exactly all of this works. - I can't not respond to this. It could just be my cynicism but I doubt they know. Just port the code forward. I'd hazard the guess that the original coders are long gone and this fits into: Don't touch it you'll break it.

 

[ConstinOddity]

Yeah... Should have followed the line, I tried to cut the corner and couldn't see where the low wall ended and the wall ended my forward motion.

I always try to drive as cleanly as possible, I'd even let faster players pass me in trials, coop or online races.

There were 2 unintentional contact here, the first during lap 1 when ICEBERG285 almost missed a checkpoint where he braked several times through the turn and went into a slide barely touching the checkpoint before I tapped him. In my defense, he made a bad turn and slowed down way too much that it was unavoidable, but the tap wasn't really a forceful one.

The other was beginning of lap 3 where it looked like I blocked a player into the wall, but Jesuisunchat563 sideswiped me right before the turn and due to forza physics, my car lost traction and couldn't turn in.

Also I didn't end up where I wasn't supposed to be, take away the 13s difference and I would still be just behind the 2nd position in 3rd place anyway, maybe a bit faster if I hadn't need to pass as many cars and given 2nd place a fight.

 

[ykiki]

Today, for the first time in FH6, I did a Trial. I somehow lucked out in getting competent teammates and we won the first 2 races without anyone carelessly taking out their teammates.

The Trial in FH5 was a real mixed bag for me. Most of the time, if we won, it would be inspite of several teammates taking each other out - though one time I made the mistake of driving a red car 😆

 

[Ryan81]

Managed to acquire 23 points in the Weekly Forzathon. Another 17 and the Hemi Super Stock will be added to the collection 😀

 

[Populuxe]

I spent all day yesterday grinding for 999 skill points. Today I spent them all filling in the Car Mastery trees for all the Alfa Romeo, Alumicraft, AMG, Apollo, and Ariel cars in the game. I put a pride flag and the car’s performance class sticker on each car. Usually in the bottom corners of the windshield or the rear side windows, but the Ariel Atom doesn’t have either, so I put them on the sides of the engine cover. They help me remember which cars have had their mastery trees filled in.
