Re: In the Zone Trophy

But this isn't an acceptable solution, you need to give us Trophy Hunters that were first during Season 1 in our fanzone rooms the Trophy, i know you can do it, similar things have been done in different games before, so its either you wanna do it and be fair to us all or that you don't wanna do it.

PS : You also need to give us a Unique Item option to be obtainable for free, you can't have a Trophy like that and have it tied behind a DLC purchase (Champions Edition) this was never done before for a BASE Game Trophy... its unacceptable and also even if you did add a Unique Item right now in F1 World to grind for free, we can't play F1 World and you already know why... waiting to vote on the final day in 54 days from now... you need to do better guys.

It's nice to read that our displeasure is being taken seriously.

Game means game to play, but to get this award you are motivated not to play a whole season to get it.

Most of us want to explore F1 World, compete and get the awards for it. We invest our time in the game, only to be told that we shouldn't play to get the trophy.

I earned just over 54,000 points in season one for nothing. No trophy "In the Zone" even though you've really achieved something and not even a unique item for winning the driver or team room. That's crazy.

And to continue my previews comment, let me give you an actual example, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2... game had a glitch at first were you couldn't get 100% of collecting everything, you were stuck at 99%, the devs knew about it once we reported it and as a solution they gave us a code (if you know about Lego games you know there is always an option in the "Extras" menu that you can input codes which usually is to unlock characters earlier) and once we inserted that code our game went from 99 to 100%,  now what EA can do for F1 24 is also simple, when you win the global fanzone (With RB and Tsunoda on Season 1) you were given a golden licence and a trophy to display in your cabinet... ok so now EA can send to everyone who were 1st in their individual fanzone rooms an in-game mail with those rewards, once we redeem the reward from the in-game mail we get the Gold License and the Trophy for the Cabinet and boom... its aso programmed to unlock us the "IN THE ZONE" Trophy... very simple and very doable solution.

I think its worth noting that the solution of "just don't play F1 World until the end of the season and then join a team" is not only actively telling players the correct way to play your game is not to play it, but it also completely negates the podium pass.  It's nearly impossible to max out the PP doing career mode only, you need the F1 World goals to do it so if the only solution for me is to not play F1 World then no point in me or anyone else getting the premium pass either.

Again this cannot be the way this was intended to work and it is a major part of the signature mode of this game, how is this not a high priority fix?  It's already hard to find full rooms for online play, this is just going to further drive players away as the response to our concerns is "we only want to reward the players who don't play the game".

Has anyone filled in the survey EA just sent around about F1 24?

Only let you write 400 characters on the response and then the last lot of questions were utter gibberish and totally formatted wrong. A total mess like normal.

Anyway 53 days left of not being able to play this mess of a game.

As many (of which@r1p3r5000 )
I thought we would win the trophy by being first in our own room. I had invested everything to get this nice trophy. And in the end my rooms were not part of the Top Constructor/driver ☹️

For me as a gamer who loves to take on trophy challenges, F1 24 is the biggest disappointment and a sign of disinterest in the community.

The "In the Zone" trophy is mainly down to luck or not playing and making the right choice just before the end of the season. And the "One Of A Kind" trophy is hidden behind the PayWall (Champions Edition). Because there is no other way to get a unique item.

I am absolutely aware that as a trophy hunter I belong to a minority. Aren't trophies supposed to encourage players to play the game for longer? To face the challenges and ultimately earn this award through better performance. In the spirit of the Olympics.

Unfortunately, I don't think EA / Codemasters are really interested in our concerns with this trophy. Nothing will change.

I won't be buying any more F1 or WRC games in the future. Then I'd rather invest my money and time in other great games. Games that were made for gamers and where the community is listened to.

That would be great to use this to make the trophy pop on both PS4 and PS5 version of the game with the same season.

Like it was for example on F1 23 for "Elite racer" trophy, only need to reach elite once and then you can have trophy on both PS4 and PS5.

Something could be made so we can make it works too on F1 24 with the "In the zone" trophy ^^

@EA_Vendcera any update?  Man, I know trophy hunters aren't a huge group but this really goes beyond that.  It actively punishes us for playing F1 World and makes the Fanzone's pointless since the actual top teams will always be at the bottom.  Codies are really okay with the Gold medal players for Season 2 being folks that scored zero points in Season 1? 

I probably have more Codemasters games in my library than any other developer so I am just really disappointed at how little a racing game studio seems to care about racers who busted their butts for 8 weeks.  @r1p3r5000 presented a perfectly reasonable solution that should be easy to implement(doesn't require you to modify the trophy), wouldn't cost Codies or EA anything in terms of items or giveaways(just properly marks the players who actually did accomplish the goal last season) and would probably get a lot of people back in for the season spending pitcoin again(right now none of us are going to by PPs since we can't use F1 world to unlock anything for 55 or 110 days), I would love to be getting new liveries and emotes but I can't.  This thread might be small but over on PSNProfiles and Reddit there are hundreds more players in the same place feeling the same frustration and all of them are getting their updates from the folks in this thread. 

I just think everyone worked really hard on this and they all deserve fair recognition for that.  Which will encourage the same kind of great competition for season 2 and beyond.    

honestly find it funny that the solution is to basically not play the game until the end of the season. If they do fix it to where earning it will be as we all assumed it would(and honestly should) be, they’ll want us to play it enough that we have to top another room all over again. And honestly, playing that much wore me out to the point I know I’ll never do it again(kinda like how I’ll never play AC Valhalla again).

Dear EA, just give us the dang achievment/trophy we all played our butts off to get. It’s not our fault you guys worded it about as goofy as the achievements in Farming Simulator 22!

sincerely,

all of us here.

amen.
