How are we supposed to do "Pass The It", when there is no Pass The It Hopper?
Another fail? Not good enough thought? We guess will never know!

Two new Rivals (unrelated to Forzathon) were just added so maybe new hoppers will go up today or tomorrow.

We are working to activate the Multiplayer Tag hopper that will allow you to complete the 3 challenge (Complete a 'Pass the It' Tag event) in the "Fingers Crossed" #Forzathon.

*facepalm*

The 'Pass The It' Multiplayer hopper should be available now. Enjoy.

Thanks for the quick fix!

At this point, all you can do is laugh.

In other news: It looks like you could win the Prowler for doing just one race, although from past experience I'm guessing we're probably going to have to do three different ones.

And I can already see that "stay on track at VIR" thing causing problems; stay on track the whole race? one lap? Which VIR layout do I have to use? ohhhhhhh boy.

Otherwise, I do like how they seem to be really upping the Forzathon content. Just a shame I have to do an annoying but-this-has-nothing-to-do-with-actual-racing-so-why-is-it-in-this-game Pass the It round to win the one car I really want from this group.

Yeah, thnx for the quick respond and fix, but please make sure you have this managed before it goes live.

Yep, that one in particular is about as vague as possible.

I'm with you on the "Pass The It" bit. The Charger is one of the cars I wanted most from this set, the other being the T/A and Prowler. I may just wait until my buddy comes back on Sunday to do that one.

Re: Pass The It: pretty obvious that T10 knows this is the star car of the group, so they're making players multiplay to get it. I'll bet being able to show that players are multplaying and using all the different game types is essential to impressing the higher ups at MS.

In regards to the tracks to use, it can be any track that is in that environment. For example, you can use any layout on VIR for that challenge and any layout of Yas Marina is good for completing a race there at night. Also, as long as the challenge doesn't mention a set number of laps or distance to cover, one can just do a single lap to do the complete a race and win a race tasks.

So, all 6 #Forzathons done. Worked flawlessly. Thanks ;)

Wow! Really? That's...unprecedented.

In that regard, I would recommend people use VIR Full. It is longer, yes, but half of the shorter variants in the game have blind corners and braking points with absolutely zero room for error. And the other half? Finding a fast, clean line around them is like playing Minesweeper. For anyone that tried the Jeep Trackhawk Rivals Event back in December, you should know what I mean.

Yes, worked also for me flawless.

Ohhh, I remember that one all too well. In a game full of head-scratchers, that one trumped almost all of them.

Worked flawlessly here too. Just went from Next Race to Next Race changing the setting for each race, checking the Forzathon section each time.
It recognized each achievement straight away. It even checked off two different steps from just one race.
Cars and achievements all given at the tight time.

If you still have problems now, you really have to question if you are reading the conditions correctly or there is a problem with your xbox itself.

Oh and nice to see some moany old women already started before they have even looked at the Forzathon on their xbox.

As someone who doesn't like other people very much I avoid multiplayer, what pray tell is "pass the it"? :)

The cursed Patriot layout don't remind me. 😭

It's a version of Tag ("You're It"). In Virus, tagging is cumulative (I'm infected and you're infected). In Pass the It, only one person is tagged (I was infected, but now you are.)

In Virus and Pass the It you win by having the lowest time as the It. In another version, King of the Hill, you win by being the It for the longest time of those in the session who are trying to take it from you.

Forcing me to buy a gold membership to unlock 1 car? No thank you.

All 6 #Forzathons done in about 1 and half hours. Must say that it was the most enjoyable #Forzathon set that we have had so far in F7.
Worked flawlessly for me.
Thanks T10/MS for the enjoyment as that is what the game is about!

Only had one issue where I had to race the Noble a second time, but other than that it updated the challenges immediately after completing them.

For those that are curious, you cannot complete "Night time driving" in one race.

Worked as intended. The only minor issue I had was using the Chiron for the "spectacular journey" Hypercar race and it didn´t count. Took the Hennesey and all was fine.
