Re: Latest Infomation on The Crew

[MadManCK]

Yes, the type of reward is probably not every bodies cup of tea. There is plenty left to wish for.

They should really add more dedicated bikes only events, including the longer cruise type races, like the Harley run.
And we can still not choose class, time of day, traffic, weather or any other custom options for race events.
Not to mention the absence of a challenge editor...

I have never been a big fan of Bikes vs Cars races and that has not changed. There will always be some kind of unbalanced performance between the two, no matter how well you tweak it.

But for now it is a nice addon and the new reward system makes you do all other stupid things you left out so far

There is a DeLorean in there
What will happen at 88MPH? Back to Oahu?

[BATA_MANTA]

So, we'll get "police" chases on the game. Sounds like a Calling All Units 2.0
No news of custom race/route editor

Looks exactly like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit.


I loved that game

[DonnieBrasco]

IVT 2018/2019 "We are not going to introduce policechases, because it's not fitting into the vision of the game".
IVT 2020 "We don't have any vision anymore for this game. Let's bring copchases".

[Lunytrickz]

they've seen the Fast & Furious game and thought we can do this beter
"we'll do the stuntmovie scenes from a cops perspective"
sooo... playing a cabal minion ... NO THX

The Final Nail In The Crew2 Coffin?

Crew Credits (CC) can now only be bought with real money.
The daily contracts will be gone. Too bad as they were sometimes fun to do, even with the lame 1500CC reward that most of them provided lately.

They should have opted for an annual season pass and release new content justifying that pass.
The few new vehicles, often reskinned existing in game cars with an exclusive body kit and no real benefits won't cut it.

Most of us have desperately waited for a level editor, so we can create DT challenges for the forum.
Even a simple route planner to organize cruises and events is still absent in TC2.

Lots of DT racers have left the Crew already. And for good reasons.

The CC swindle, where you pay 55.000CC for an underglow (6$ worth ) is beyond belief stupid.
Do they really think you can rip off players like that?

https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.p ... -Contracts

This will backfire for sure.

Sad day for openworld games like this lets hope the guys at Narcon and Kylotonn don't make this mistake.

Ubi has reacted with the following statement;

Regarding the removal of LIVE Contracts

Hi everyone,

Tuesday's announcement has generated a lot of conversation, and we wanted to start by thanking all those of you who - despite your disappointment - have shared your thoughts in a respectful and constructive manner, both with us and with other players.

The removal of LIVE Contracts has clearly emerged as the main point of contention, and while we know that many won't agree with them, we want to ensure that there's no confusion regarding our reasons for doing so.

The first simply relates to design. The introduction of Daily Challenges meant that we ended up with multiple different daily activity features, all overlapping. It was a messy situation, and we therefore decided to centralise this mechanic within the Motorpass. You will still have daily actions to complete, but of a more varied nature and tied into a wider, seasonal system.

The second relates to rewards - specifically Crew Credits - and thus also to the game's economy. As you will have seen in our description of the Motorpass, the total sum of free CCs available to win through daily & seasonal actions will now be capped at 20,000 per Episode (2 months). Ultimately, this is to ensure that we are able to continue supporting the game in the way we believe is best, for as long as possible. We're heading into The Crew 2's third year, after 7 major free updates and continuous live support, and our hope moving forward is to not only continue this dynamic but also step up the types of content we deliver.

Season 1 is numbered because it definitely won't be a one-off. We have a lot of exciting plans for the Seasons and Episodes ahead, and basing them around dedicated game modes and a Motorpass - while of course still delivering the same framework of free new events, dual-currency vehicle drops, and LIVE Summits as past updates - ensures that we can plan for the long-term.

Season 1 itself is now set in stone, but rest assured that we're always on the look-out for ways to fine-tune the experience for future iterations. We see your feedback, we hear you, and we thank you for being passionate enough about our game to have spoken up about it.

See you on the road,
The TC2 Team

The people that cooked this up, should consider a career in Politics. It basically states we will screw you over, deal with it.
