I do not think there will be many new cars. The Summit rewards are cars you do not already posess. I have them all, so i get a lausy 20K CC or 5K for a qualifier. And with the number of events reduced to just 4 a month, Summit is slowly dying.
Instead of giving the Summit a needed boost and improve the Free Drive events, they focus alone on Calling All Units. But that is just plain wrong. By neglecting the things that make The Crew good, they shoot themselves in the foot.
The Game desperately needs new stuff. Not just cars. More bikes; like choppers for cruizing. More specs; like dirt dragsters, drift bikes and stunt car racers and more events in general.
I still think the Faction system needs a big overhaul. There should be more cohesion between the storyline and the rest of the game.
More exploration rewards, like new wrecks in new locations (Oahu
), more roads and road types and a general better use of the huge map.
I still see a lot of untapped potential. But the team is focusing on the wrong priorities. Appealing to the NFS crowd for example, or completely ignoring the complaints about bad competition and the ridiculous weather.
More weather types and more variation in general would also benefit the game. The continues rain pisses everybody off.
At this point i do not know if the game can be saved. A lot of players have moved on and we only do our own in-house competition and some Summit events. Maybe the occasional cruise and that is it. The Crew has lost a lot of its appeal.
The continues hassle to even hook up with friends, connection losses during events or stupid Free Drive bugs like black screen hangs, non stopping counters after the finish and so on, have made me rage quit the game more than once lately.
The Crew is more annoying than fun now and that can never be the goal of a game.
Add to that, that i am under the impression that Ivory Tower is working on another game and only has a small portion of their staff supporting the Crew and you can see why i think this will be The Crew's last season.
