Strange place to ask, but I'm really hoping someone would be willing to giveaway/trade their 2018 Type R since they've made it so impossible to get in any other way
I could buy one off the Forzathon shop and put it on the auction house at a certain time for you. But you have to be aware that other people are looking for the same car on the auction house so you will have to be quick.
There's been a Goliath glitch going on lately and I admit that I've done a few just to check it out, and wow does it give a lot of money and influence. I might get banned but I'm not as obvious as this guys level:
Basically there’s the Goliath race (most commonly though works with everything else) where it is set to 50 laps. All that happens in the race is that you completely skip the hours long race in about 30 seconds going another route but it still counts. With VIP you should get about 9 million credits, and at least 500k influence, which is how people level up so much. Don’t do the glitch, a ban wave has been happening. I haven’t done it myself but have seen it on YouTube.
Hmm ok a "shortcut" but what's with the bans? I mean, this is just a glitch, I don't understand the drastic move to ban people (unless it's one of those "week-off" bans, that would maybe make more sense?)
BasicLly, people who have worked for money are having it stolen. Imagine you have 10 million from months of auction house work. You sell a hyper car, say a D-type, for 2 million. You make 1 million profit, but the problem is, the guy who won it (using the glitch) put no effort in and still has the car. Also, it’s strictly in the rules not to do these kinds of things.
SO videos have started to circulate from the new LEGO expansion. Excuse me, a LEGO expansion? Uh, why does this exist? Oh, and it includes a new challenge type made specifically for beelining across open ground without any semblance of a route. I think I'm gonna be sick.
I think it looks fun, I also really like how they announced it, was quite a surprise watching E3 live.
The trailblazer event was introduced with fortune island (the previous expansion). Personally I like the Lego expansion. Yes it's gimmicky, but it's not Forza Motorsport, it's Horizon. Its supposed to not be serious, and I think they did a great job integrating the feeling and humor of the old Lego video games.
If only they could have added the vehicle creator from the old Lego Racers games. I do find it a little disappointing that they have standard issue trees and hedges in the Lego world. I feel like it should have all been Lego styled rather than a mixture of Lego and photorealistic. That said, I haven't played it yet. But when I do have something to play it on I might give it a shot.
They probably left some of the photorealistic stuff in because this is, in the end, a theme park built over existing land... maybe. That still doesn't explain the minifig drivers and spectators, or the Lego cars that can run with the real ones (lol, what are aerodynamics?), or the self-rebuilding bonus cubes, or the desert in Great Britain. If you'll notice, for example, many of the photorealistic trees are screened from the road behind a layer of Lego ones. The aforementioned presence of minifigs does call into question whether some kind of illusion has been deployed, by what means I wouldn't be able to guess. The self-rebuilding bonus cubes could... possibly? be explained by some kind of experimental magnet tech (though a toy company would be unlikely to have access to that kind of stuff, or to the talent needed to come up with it), but the fact that every one you knock over gets people to follow you on social media or whatever, I can't really explain outside of actual witchcraft. Does knocking them over trigger advertisements on the Internet with referrer codes or something? (Of course bonus boards have always been a thing but as far as I know no one has ever tried to give them an in-universe explanation). And I do agree that the overall effect was kind of lazy and uninspired. Lego has made at least two "Racer" video games and many racing-themed sets (Drome etc.) over the years; I would know since I had one of the games and several of the sets growing up, but this expansion ignores it all (except that calling the pirate area "Redbeard's Retreat" might be a shout-out to the first game). Maybe they could have had areas inspired by the first game's tracks, or life-sized, 1.6 Turbo Rally-powered track day cars built to look like the boss racers' cars from same game. Maybe they could at least have built areas designed after some of their themes from the past - Johnny Thunder, Alpha Team, whatever the dino hunters were called... but they just threw it all away and made something as boring and generic as possible.
