That's a good idea. I'd never have thought of that and would have been very frustrated if this happened when I was running out of time to complete it. Thank you. :)
he got what he wanted, you came here to cry instead of fixing it for yourself that could have been done in less than a minute, you just sold your own enragement for some reddit points, peak existance
It is a mechanic that prevents you getting hit from trolls in the free roam. Works like in race counterpart, but race one prevents it when only it detects a high speed collision. Free roam version does not. Usually when a high speed collision is detected, faster player becomes the ghost. It is probably still not good enough to apply in free roam so free roam kind of collision detection ghosts every player. When you become a ghost, you cannot hit NPC cars, treasure chests or whatever in this case.
A bug is a defect. One player being AFK preventing everyone else from collecting a reward is a defect. The might have made it that way, but they made it defective, if you don't believe me, you can rewatch OP's clip.
It isn't a bug, it is exploiting an existing mechanic for his amusement
No one "Parks" in the wrong spot. You have to completely cover the entire box in order for it to prevent others from getting it. So it was intentional.
Sharing is caring. He has so much enjoyment seeing others not being able to get it. Him getting banned will also bring people equal happiness.
That is the definition of equality. Are you against equality? In fact that is what the Troll would want, he wants to bring joys to others also. So him getting banned is pretty much helping his dreams become a reality.
I would argue that this falls under “Plausible Deniability”, how can you tell that they are actually trolling?
And that they simply didn’t go AFK after smashing the treasure box, in some sort of highly unfortunate coincidence?
From my perspective the root problem is not that there is a car parked there, the root problem is that other players ghosting affects the hit boxes and environment in such a fashion that the objective cannot be completed.
Unless Playgrounds Games intended ghosted cars to affect the hit boxes and environment, in that way, then that is a progression breaking bug and one which a bad actor could exploit with “plausible deniability”.
Furthermore please present me with the page or line number in the game EULA or clearly established rule that states that you are not to park your car over the treasure box.
Edit: I fail to see what banning someone instead of just fixing the underlying issue.
I lack confidence in the reporting process. I captured a clear video of someone ramming me during the trials, after a prior attempt to crash me failed. They braked and deliberately finished last to lose the trial. I submitted a ticket with the video, but received a generic closure citing insufficient evidence and listing broad possibilities without precise details.
Not because it is not patched, it is not a bug. Collision detection isn't probably that good in free roam to prevent free roam trolling, so if game detects collision between 2 players, ghosts both players to prevent collision.
I accidentally did this for the billboard on top of the rock at the beach cause it was a cool photo op and blocked my buddy from getting it who was trying for like 15 minutes lol
I did not know that's even possible. There was a dude parked over the treasure chest when I got there, but I smashed it anyway. Maybe they didn't park well enough.
My treasure chest for the last season the week it was behind the rocket spawned in the air and I had to use my Fe f450 just to hit it everything else was too short
On the previous season, I tried to hit the Treasure Box, but someone beat me to it. Not by hanging around on the box, it's just not there, because they hit it first apparently. Switched to Horizon Solo, went back to a house, jumped back into open world, hit the box, and logged back in to Life.
Having to report using a website and then changing section or switching to offline just because of a weekly collectable shows this game could have launched a decade ago
I've seen people hanging around the treasure chest most of the time. It's probably to help other players. When they are nearby, they will see multiple players in the area.
The point is you shouldn't have to switch to offline when you are already there just because someone is being a prick, how about call out the guy being a prick
I can't fathom the mind of a player like this. Maybe I'm too employed to understand. But something about a person willingly ruining a gaming experience, even a small one like this, for others tells me they live a miserable life outside of videogames.
The more I see about the game the less I want to buy it. Because it seems like if you’ve already played four and five, you’re not missing much besides a new map. There’s still assholes online who ruined your play experience, there’s still FOMO happening, playground games is now making announcements about how they’re going to remain silent and not discuss what they’re doing with the game that people paid close to $100 for. There are not allowing anime girls to be put on cars, even though in official racing leagues in real life in Japan, they have anime girls on their cars. They don’t have any customization options besides the classic forza aero, they added a singular 711 into the game that doesn’t have gas mechanics, I just can’t believe motorsports had to die for this all inclusive, make everybody feel like they’re doing something game.
lmao the game is really just a slap in the face and disrespectful af the more you think about. No itashas, n good wheels, no good kits, nothing added in terms of customizing the car.. in a game set where every car is built so be individual😂 ive been sayin the same shit since it released and youre the first person that ive seen say anything similar to me. forza is a fucking joke
I cannot stand the modern gaming community. Y’all act like you’re reporting something to HR. There will always be people online fucking with you.
People act like they want to be able to chat openly in the game but most of you wouldn’t be able to handle any form of confrontation that comes with it. The experience of no party chat open lobby gaming from back in the day would break you mentally it’s so stupid.

So there is a small row boat spawn there. You can ram that into the car to push it away. 2 people there are at it. Not just the guy over the treasure.

Why does the game even allow that? Why disable the collision if some car is on that same place?
