[/h2] Looking ahead to Year 2 and especially Season 5, the team is gearing up for even more QoL improvements that will continue to enhance the experience. Some of the key updates to look forward to include: [list] [*] Rearview Mirrors: A significant and long-awaited update, rearview mirror functionality will provide players with improved situational awareness, giving a better view of competitors and the environment behind them. - Available on New Gen Consoles and PC Only. [*] RPG Enhancements: Check out the dedicated RPG Enhancements section of the article below! [*] View Parts in the Car List: Players will soon be able to see installed car parts directly from their car list, simplifying the process of managing and optimizing vehicle setups. [*] Prestige Tickets in the Summit: While not a quality-of-life change but instead a new feature, Prestige Tickets will be available to earn in the Summit for players completing challenges during the Summit. - For more information check out the dedicated Custom Mode article here: https://ubi.li/m25wm [*] Bug Reporter: This will help to improve the tracking of any issues players are having in-game. More news on this coming soon! [/list] [h2]RPG Enhancements [/h2] We are aiming improve the experience of our players that are always on the lookout to kit out their favourite vehicle in the best parts possible. Here’s a quick rundown of some new features that we are hoping will achieve this. [list] [*] Merging: A merging system will be introduced, allowing players to combine 3 parts of the same rarity, combining them into the same part of an upgraded rarity. - This allows players to farm Legendary parts of a specific type at a much faster rate in exchange for spare parts and bucks. [*] Legendary Set Half Bonuses: Legendary sets now have activation steps. This new system will reward players with 50% of the bonuses if they have 3 parts of a legendary set equipped and 100% of the bonus if they choose to equip the full set. - This will allow players the opportunity of more flexibility and opportunities to maximize their performance in their own creative way. - This means you can combine the effects of 2 Legendary sets on the same vehicle, which was not previously possible.
