    List of "The Chase" preview videos on YouTube

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 01:23 PM PST

    Over the weekend various YouTubers and notable community members have been able to play a preview build of tomorrow's update already and a lot of them have posted videos on YouTube about it. I will try to make a list with all of them in this post, so that people don't make individual posts for every single one.

    Also some advice regarding the Motorpass, since I saw some confusion about this in another post. You should NOT get the bundle for 150k crew credits, unless you really want to have everything as early as humanly possible or don't even have time to play the game once every week. As long as you can play once a week for just a couple of hours you should be able to finish the pass in time with just the 80k option. And if you play every single day you will even complete it at the start of week 4.

    Anyway, here are all the videos that I could find which are previewing the update:

    If I come across more videos I will also add them here.

    The Crew 2 History, aka why "But Ivory Tower is supporting the game since the launch in 2018 !" is not true at all.

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 11:57 AM PST

    I just want You to remember, that The Crew 2 launched in alpha-beta state, without a new, fun and proper content. The launch was rushed just to earn money on a well-known brand, before the premiere of Forza Horizon 4.

    Why is IVT so actively, forcibly deaf to the community?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 10:44 AM PST

    8 races for my money is it? Just 8 races are the new content to tide end game players over? There's been more than this added in free runs before!

    'Motorstars' are not content for a racing game.

    'Challenges' are not content for a racing game.

    'Vanity items' are not content for a racing game.

    Cars are content - Structured races are content - Places to drive is content.

    This update could have had so much more, and could have expanded greatly upon the vehicle types that have been left to die since their introductions.

    Could we not at least have gotten expanded race libraries using the existing tracks in reverse for those terminally-underprovided-for race styles like TC, RX, MX? Less than 10 apiece, which could just so easily be doubled for no effort.

    For context , I'm level 1070, I want to be impressed by this pass, but IVTs refusal to look at things like - the steady eradication of frame rates they've introduced and then purposefully ignored - the ignoring of stagnant race types - the refusal to accept the Live Summit is poorly designed and rewards non-life grind only, all just makes me completely switch off and see them as a company not worth the money.

    I know the update drops tmrw I believe. I also know I won't be able to play for a while, because of work, school, Thanksgiving, and my nephew on the way tomorrow. Will I be able to play the chase even waaay after it's passed?

    Loot drops on Ace Difficulty

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 08:35 AM PST

    I made a much more detailed post a few weeks ago which was removed with no reason given.

    Making the same general post now prior to tomorrow's update so the update isn't looked at as the root cause.

    There are many instances where a completed Ace difficulty race does not always give out the appropriate loot grade on PC. When you switch the difficulty to Ace, the loot crate comes up as purple meaning at least one purple drop should occur. At least that is my understanding of it.

    I've tested and seen this now on multiple disciplines including but probably not limited to Street Race, Touring Car, Rally Cross, etc. Sometimes I only get green, or blue, or a combo of blue and green. Sometimes you get purple and gold too....but not always. Yes, I'm positive it is on Ace difficulty. This has been going on for weeks, maybe longer.

    I thought it was coincidental that the last boosted live free roam crates were bugged (confirmed by Ivory Tower on Twitter) similarly just after I made my first post on this that was removed. Don't know if it is related.

    Summit Ghosts

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 04:06 PM PST

    I've noticed something interesting with the Summit leaderboards, there seems to be a huge amount of players in the top 50 or top 100 that don't feature on the HC or SR leaderboards. Of course the top dogs are all there as well.

    Is it that these players have not recorded a lap time in the events for a long time so are not on the leaderboards? Seems like there is no way they would rank that high in the Summits if they weren't familiar with some if not all SR and HC events. As you can see below these players are usually in the top 20 on almost every street event.
