Re: Elite Racer Trophy/Achievement Bugged

This was also a big problem. Lack of communication about what would actually happen to your rank at the end of the season

Sorry for bumping the thread but I can´t help myself from thinking about this entire situation that happened to us. With all due respect but I want  to try being constructive and helpful about it, even though as I said before this was largely unfortunate and unfair.

I am no programmer and I have no idea if that is even possible, apparently we all received special car livery and suit reserved for those players able to reach elite rank (and that is a positive) but neither of us unlocked the trophy/achievement for reaching said rank; now here is an idea: How about if in the next patch we get able to unlock the trophy/achievement by simply equiping said livery/suit that we already earned by right ? Is that possible ? That solution would not harm anyone because only the players with this perks unlocked would be able to do it. Please tell me you are working on something, like I said before just trying to be constructive here. @ScarDuck14 can you please forward this suggestion to the devs ? Thank you !

@eduardohrks  Your all good. No need to apologise for anything.  

This issue has been passed to the team so they will be investigating it as it’s clearly a bug.  As for when it will be fixed we won’t know until it’s fixed.  

But I’ll tag @EA_Groguet as he can pass your suggestion on.  I’m just the unpaid help 😁. I don’t have the power 😔

Thank you for the dedication my friend ! I know you are trying to help and that is why I treat you guys whith respect.

Hello everyone,

This issue has been escalated and it is being currently investigated. Thank you all for your reports and suggestions. For now, I don't have more info, but as soon as I know something or I have an update about this matter I will let you know.

Just a word of warning as well as I know some people who's achievement didn't pop last weekend might not race this week as they'll hope EA manage to bring out a fix but from experience if you miss 2 consecutive weeks you'll also drop a rank I found this out halfway through last season dropping down from Gold to Silver. So figured i'd let people just incase we never get the fix and we all have to end up getting to elite again...

Hi there,

Just saw the news about the maintence works on the server scheduled on August 21th - fingers crossed - hopefully something good comes out of that. Meanwhile I thought I should add some photos about the special livery/suit that was mentioned earlier and that we all earned and received inside our "in-game mailbox" as the result of last week´s elite promotion (which apparently did not count for other purposes), so here goes. 

And the last photo, in total 4 itens that I imagine only players that where able to reach elite have on their inventory, hopefully this will contribute with a fix for us to be able to earn the correspondent trophy/achievement.

The idea of making it unlock when you equip those items is quite good but I'm not sure if they'd do this. However, I don't actually know if they have our IDs attached to an elite rank anyway considering we got demoted incorrectly as well. 

Yes @CosmoWolf33 that is why I think the solution is in those items. Again we don´t know (we never do), but everything else related to Season 1 may have been wiped out with the beggining of Season 2 (let´s hope not). Seeing how Season 2 started made it clear to me that we had non intended bugs related with all promotions in the last week of Season 1.

As I see it one the biggest problems was that we seem to effectively had no promotions on the last week of the previous season, I mean we all qualified for it and it was clearly there showing up on the leaderborards (we have photos) but the game simply did not take that in consideration at the end of the season. The game just took our ranks from the previous week (penultimate week) and demoted everyone according to a standard, it did not use the rank we all achieved at the end of the last week (supposedly last chance to rank up) before demoting everyone, it simply demoted according to the results of the penultimate week, thus rendering the results of the last week of season 1 useless or meaningless.

The most important detail was that nobody knew anything about that and the fierce competition within the leaderboards just went on all the way through the week from August 7th to August 13th and that was just really unfair to everyone that happened to be involved.

@CosmoWolf33Everyone gets demoted at the start off every new season

@ScarDuck14 no, I know that. I mean that we got demoted as if we were still gold, not elite. I went back down to silver I but it should have gone down to gold

@ScarDuck14 Can we please get an update on this issue? Looking at the list of community raised issues for F1 23 there is no mention of this still. The list I am referring to is here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Updates/F1-23-Community-Raised-Issues-amp-EA-Racenet-Updates/m-p/12674515#M8

A lot of people are affected by this and a lot of people spent a whole lot of time racing to achieve this only to be let down when the achievement/trophy didn't unlock. This should be treated as a priority but hey at least "Incorrect effect on Ferrari halo" is being investigated as a new issue, am I right? C'mon...

@F123EliteRacer imo we need to keep our expectations low. Having this be fixed through customisation items takes more time to do which definitely won't be on the priority list so if it can't be fixed without that suggestion then I'd be prepared for disappointment.

Maybe rank to silver II for the time being in case you need to do it all again....

So I want to hope that we don't have to do it again because that would be very unfair and disappointing for all of us who made it into elite two weeks ago, that's why I don't want to play such online titles anymore because if you do it then it's again for nothing. But I hope that EA will take care of it and hopefully think about it that they don't prefer to bring out such online stuff as dlc Pack trophy and for platinum they prefer to come up with offline trophies from my point of view also very heavy but no more online trophies 😅

 Any news about the patch ? Like when is it coming ?

No mention of a fix for this issue though unfortunately.
