Can't get a ford Fiesta, progress 100% blocked for 2 days

I have been stuck for 2 days... 2 days of no progress...

(1 day i was able to progress, day 2 i hit the absolute limit)

I currently have 2 cars to the point where i can no longer upgrade them at all. (one of which i probably shouldn't have started upgrading at all)

They are both to the point where i NEED to get a ford fiesta in order to get the thiny's from Tuner Trials in order to progress.

One car is at 316 PR and the other is 311. I can't even explain WHY i got did up a second car. I have no logical reason...

on the tuner trials i can do *some* of them but i can only get level 2 upgrades, which are 100% useless.

I am at 2/3 prints on the Ford Fiesta, the ways i got them one of them is not repeatable, the other came from the first ever crappy box i bought.

BUT... there's no way for me to get a ford Fiesta, it's not in the store in any option for less than 432 gold (i'm not spending that much gold on 2 crappy low level cars. The only way that's showing in the showroom to get it is from boxes...

2 days and 120,000+ {honestly i lost count} (5 sets of 5 boxes, and i have had no luck getting the ford fiesta from the boxes.

I am up to level 18 (5 levels past the introduction of the ... still no Ford Fiesta,

I am up to campaign chapter 5 Rushdown, and... I can no longer upgrade my 2 remaining cars. I don't even know how i progressed that far.

I have no winnable races left to attempt (excluding the event) 

My cars 

PR 316 2 star BMW m3 coupe 1999 

PR 311 3 star Subaru BR PR 311

2 star volkswagen golf GTI 291 (no upgrades at all)

1 star toyota 86 (no upgrades of any kind)

I've been stuck for 2 stinking days and throwing away absurd amounts of in game money getting nowhere

To add insult to injury i'm going to lose out on gold making opportunities (because i am no longer eligible for any campaign races) in the daily tasks

I've also been able to do tuner trials for 2 days but haven't been able to get any.

For such an essential piece of the puzzle they made this low level car (and honestly crappy car) too difficult to obtain. (half the time?)

Like this is seriously had me to the point of tears...

To make matter worse i know i could have bought it 3 day ago (before i knew i needed to)

When you make a game you need to make these essential cars... part of the tutorial. I *COULD* have bought it three days ago if i knew i needed to. Now it's too late and i spent 15 TIMES AS MUCH NOT GETTING IT (no exaggeration. I KNOW i could have spent 8,000 2 days ago, and so far in the last 2 days I've spent 120,000 on boxes NOT getting it)

Seriously it NEEDS to be in the tutorial... or guaranteed rewards for the campaign.

It also didn't even explain that i needed the fiesta for the level 1 Tuner trial. I had to look up how to get the essential upgrade part. (the tuner trial reward) I had to look up where the essential upgrade part came from then i discovered that only the ford Fiesta versions drop the level 1 parts.

This is a huge oversight  and people will uninstall  (an otherwise awesome game) out of confusion alone.

I'm at my wits end and honestly i know i should have just set it aside for a few days and waited for the Fiesta to come back to the black market.

At this point i'm skeptical it's even going to return, i don't 100% know it even will. (if someone could reassure me of this it would be great.)

  • @barachius Right now, there is a special event called Nighthunt that has the Lamborghini Aventador SV (which is a Hyper car) up for grabs if you manage to complete it entirely.

    You will need to be at least Level 20 to participate.

    Win some races in Car Series to get some Rep. Once you do that, you can participate in the special event.

    You will have to play the game daily and constantly for the next few days as the special event already started for people that chose not to start it in the rolling window time frame.

    If you do manage to win the car, you will have to be a certain level to be able to use it in Campaign though.

    Good luck!

  • @barachius when I was new there was only way to get the blueprints for the Fiesta ST was to buy it from Blackridge Market, use to be worth 50,000 IGC, gives you 5 primts but that was quite enough,but TBH Fiesta is useless, instead work on Subaru BRZ's prints, it's easily worth of your time, but you have to make sure you do play it regularly to get those daily tasks completed because they offer gold's + rep that helps you level up faster in the campaign, making easy for to get better parts for cars you like 

  • @barachius i'm a little bit confused by your post, the ford fiesta has replayable races in chapter 3 so obtaining blueprints to unlock and upgrade the car shouldnt be a problem

    completing daily tasks also shouldnt be a problem as there are at least 3 replayable races (inc the boss race) in each chapter that will award parts/cash/blueprints, as you have said that you are up to chapter 5 youve got at least 12 races that are replayable so that you can "farm" for parts and blueprints for the cars you currently have unlocked

    alternatively you can sell any unused parts for scrap and buy the blueprints at the chop shop

    also the prizes awarded by gold crates are dependant on your rep level (as your level increases then higher rarity parts/blueprints become available), so as long as you collect your free gold crate every 2 days then you should pick up fiesta blueprints from those (at some point)
