This is a start, and at least they're responding and making some changes. One of the biggest complaints (obviously well outside of tokens/microtransactions) has been that LE buyers did not get enough tokens to actually buy ANY single car of their choice.
SEE THE UNDERLINED PART OF THE FIRST QUOTE BEFORE RESPONDING
First up, Ill say thanks to everyone who has played Forza Motorsport 5. Its encouraging to see so many having such a great time with our game, and the Forza community rallying around the latest Forza Motorsport experience. Its also amazing to see all of the feedback coming in about our game. Forza players are among the most passionate fans in the world and its awesome to see your passion (be it positive or negative) pour through to us on forums, Tweets, Facebook, and e-mail.
Your Turn 10 team continues to value the input of our Forza community, and we keep a careful eye on in-game data that shows how players progress through our games. Based on the numbers weve seen from our first week of FM5, as well as feedback we heard directly from you, were in the process of making some changes to the Forza Motorsport 5 economy. But, while were putting the final touches on that, we want to make sure everyone continues having a great time with Forza 5. So, the following programs are going into effect this week:
Starting this Friday were offering a 50 percent discount (credits & tokens) on every car in the game. This discount is available to all players. Every car, from the 1970 Nissan Datsun 510 to the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO will be 50 percent off, so, if youve got your eye on something special on the car list, nows the time to play and add them to your garage! This discount will be available between 12:01 a.m. Pacific on Friday, Nov. 29 and 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Sunday, Dec. 1.
If you are a Forza Motorsport 5 VIP member, youll receive the 2013 Lotus E21 grand prix car as a thank you. (Note: You must own Forza Motorsport 5 VIP membership to take advantage of this offer.) In addition to being one of the most radical and expensive cars in FM5, the E21 is also one of the quickest.
Those players who have already purchased the 2013 Lotus E21 as of today (Wednesday, November 27) will also receive the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO as a further thank you.
For those players who have purchased the LaFerrari Car Pack or the Forza Motorsport 5 Car Pass well gift the 2013 LaFerrari directly into your Forza Motorsport 5 garage. No need to purchase the car separately with in-game credits or tokens.
Finally, were dramatically increasing the credit payout available to all Forza players in December via Forza Rewards, our ongoing loyalty program that rewards players with credits and cars for playing Forza games. Youll be able to redeem these rewards in December but heres a tip: The higher your Tier level reaches before December rolls around, the better the rewards youll be able to redeem, so get your play time in now and level up!
Now, a word about tokens in the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition. In our original description for Forza Motorsport 5s Limited Edition, we told you that Limited Edition owners would get 1,250 in-game tokens, which we mistakenly said would be enough tokens to afford any car in the Forza 5. It isnt. As a result, a number of you have pointed this out to us that there are a number of cars in the game that cost more than 1,250 tokens to purchase.
Were sorry. In order to make up for this discrepancy, we will soon be offering Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition owners the chance to download and own the car of their choice in the game. Players will be able to choose from any of the on-disc cars in Forza 5 and will be able redeem this offer on ForzaMotorsport.net via a dedicated page that will be available no later than December 16.
Looking ahead, well continue to make further adjustments to the Forza Motorsport 5 economy when theyre needed and Ill be sure to keep you informed as these changes are made. For now, take advantage of all the cool stuff coming your way and, as always, thanks for your patience and for being a member of the Forza Motorsport community.
