Limited edition without extra XP.

Recommended Posts

Hey, 

I want the pre order the limited edition game because I want the extra helmets and laptops. But I really dont want extra XP cause it feels like cheating. 

Is that possible?

I assume there would be an option to turn it on and off as you desire.  If not it would be a pretty big oversight.

To be honest I don't se why you wouldn't want it. Hopefully there is an option to put in a code, so that the xp has to be entered via a code or something

Why would you? To get all upgrades before ai? To get faster than ai very quick and have no one to race with? In previous games you could win the championship with mid-table team easy so i guess it wont be very different this year. So why would you want to be even easier?

From how I understand the upgrade system you will still have to apply the upgrades. So even if the extra XP would be in your game you will not be forced to use it. But yes it's true, it will be there and you will not be able to resist to apply all those upgrades so basically you want the extra XP but don't want to admit it  :p

Yeah I don't want it neither. If we could use the XP on something else than just making the car faster I would understand the reason for this XP boost but I honestly don't now.

Otherwise use the xp for fuel consumption, thats something you will upgrade but what doesnt really make the car faster, you could use rich mix more in a race but thats about it.

Just don't enter the code. Something like that is bound to be a code in the box. If not I'd be very surprised.

Can you unlock the extra helmets after earning xp in the normal version?
I doubt it its limited edition for pre orders so i assume its only for pre orders

What he said.

It'll be the exact same disk in the box.
Only the boxart and stuff might change and you'll get  a piece of paper with a code on for the extras

Please read the topic before you post something useless like this. 

I just want 2 of the 3 extras. I want the helmets. I want the laptops but i DONT want the extra XP. As long that isnt clear i wont pre order the game. 

Career boost sucks.

Like has been said it will most likely be a code that you will enter to receive your boost. Now if that comes in the form of one code for all three benefits then I'd imagine the xp is just a one time gift so start a career use it up and then quit and start a fresh new one. By the sound of it the helmets and laptops should remain but the xp is consumable.

It's quite simple. If you don't want to have an advantage just don't use the XP. You don't need to spend your XP. If you don't use it you are not "cheating"

But then we'll get XP from practice, quali and race. If I can''t deactivate the XP boost I will use it because I cba to save a certain amount of XP during the whole career.

How many new helmet and laptop designs do you get?

Also forgive me for sounding somewhat stupid here, but is it remotely possible to pickup the limited edition on release day without pre ordering?

Career boost sucks. 
Bonuses come as seperate codes. For example. When I bought Elder Scrolls Online, there was one code to get some extra items and there was another code for some ingame currency.
If on the off chance it's all in one code and you have to have it, then just make sure you don't use it. If you're that bothered by it then I'm sure it's not too much trouble to just make whatever amount it is as your new "0" and not go under it.

Exactly most come as separate codes they do in a lot of the games I have as well. For example a code for the Blood dragon Armour for ME2 which I gained from buying a new copy of Dragon Age Origins after my last DAO disc broke. In a sense it was a good thing because although I didn't want to have to buy a new copy of it. I did it because although my disc was registered online not all the DLC was downloading and working and some of the DLC that comes as part of the Ultimate edition version I had I enjoy using especially the Blightblood sword. I was keen to get that BD armour for ME2 as it looks cool. Unfortunately the code in my old DAO box for the armour didn't work but the one I got in my new box did so was very happy to get that as an extra bonus so the next time I boot ME2 up I'll be using that armour.
