    These events are similar to the Live events from Horizon 4. Around the top of the hour, every hour, new events start and are depicted on the map as giant pink circles. Anna will also alert you of them, as well as if you are in freeroam a banner on the top of your screen will tell you it is starting and to set a waypoint.

    For this achievement, you just have to participate and let the 10-15 minute timer of the event run out if you're the only one in it and you don't have to fully complete round 1.

    R3f1CuLI'm yet to see a single one of these because the games servers can't stay connected for longer than 2 minutes at a freaking time lol

    NoHeroes94Not relevant to this achievement, but I'm finding Arcades very underpopulated and difficult against 4's Forzathons. What a pain it's going to be to compelte each.

    IEvil IMonkeyThe connection on this game is terrible and I cannot stay connected longer than a few minutes at a time like others have mentioned!

    R3f1CuLBeen trying ALL DAY today because this will be the only thing I have left other than dailies to complete everything for this playlist and the horrid BS connections are going to screw me out of it... I really hate MODERN AAA games now. They're all just pathetically broken :/

    MrNoLuckFoxThe servers were allegedly fixed by a post Turn 10 put out in the message center. And since then I completed 3 additional events last night.

    I agree they are underpopulated, but I feel that will change some with the full release tomorrow. I was able to complete the third tier of the challenge with one other and had less than 5 seconds remaining. It was intense lol

    Also, I learned that there can be multiple people or groups in the same Arcade event, even if they don't show up in your session because I loaded into one and the event was progressing even though I was the only one in my session.

    StrudI never see any notification on screen, announcement by Anna or pink circle on the map for any Arcade event. Once I saw the blimp while driving (online mode) in the sky and went over just before it started. This allowed me to participate.

    MrNoLuckFoxSometimes if I go to the Festival Playlist and click on the season event for playing in a Arcade Event it will send me to the nearest one even if I don't see them.

    I ultimately think it has some sort of bug/issues to some degree with showing up and participations or its just a bit flaky

    Gridl0kI played over a dozen of these and never managed to complete one, because the game thinks it's funny to put me in my own session no matter who was there at the start. Because the timers are overall, it's next to impossible to complete a 3rd stage on your own with like 24s on the clock when it starts.

    And then when you quit or get booted from the event, there's a dozen players very obviously doing what I was just doing all around me.

    Oh and the bullseye stage, buggy af.

    IE, I would wait for these to be polished and the netcode to be stable before you go mad. Or do a session via here.

    They start every 5 minutes and there's 2 or 3 on a map, which is insane given nobody uses fast travel, and nobody bothers anyway.

    AmethystineThe fact that these start so often is making LESS people do them.

    Perhaps the game-makers wanted more people to join in because there are more of them and they happen all the time, so there's 'less waiting for them to begin' - but in reality, they're so common and often that they just become background noise to everyone.

    Last time around, when they were ONLY once per hour, it was more of a big deal, and people would actually attend. I haven't seen a single person playing them so far, aside from myself. :P

    Ashen SeraphIf you haven't done them until now, try them again. They now scale with the amount of people participating, giving little reason for even a single person being unable to complete round 3.
