Community ManagerHey all,
Thank you for reaching out!
I think there might be some confusion on how the Mechanic Pass works. It doesn't increase the mileage that you're getting, but rather lowers the mileage requirements for upgrades. Basically it's a discount on upgrade costs.
For example, if you have the Mechanic Pass the cost of Power Upgrade 1 would be 7mi driven instead of 10 mi.
Did you see any messaging somewhere that said it included an increase in Mileage? If so, can you let me know where you saw it?
@EA_KentThanks for finally responding on this. I think the confusion then, is the way you are marketing the actual pass as quite a few people have misunderstood what this meant. What you are saying make sense but we have no way of seeing in game that the mileage is actually reduced.
There should be some sort of graphic layered over the mileage counter at the end of the race, which shows the reduced mileage and says mechanic pass active or something so we know its activated. Right now we have no clue its even doing anything as its not shown anywhere in the game once you have bought it.
As its only 89p its no big deal but this should be made much clearer in game to show where the mileage reduction is. That way people wont get confused. For a Triple A game like this I would expect this to be standard.
Im also still taken a back at how much you have to grind some races to get to the actual mileage to unlock tier 2. If im grinding now, god knows what its like without the Mechanic Pass!

Thanks for the info!The main thing I was hoping to figure out was where the messaging was coming from. I think we were able to find out, and I've passed this along to the team for a look.
