In PVP mode. The amount of times I've had my thumb on the accelerator but the game hasnt recognised it, causing me to lose a ticket is starting to piss me off.
In fact, the whole bunker in general is starting to wind me the **** up. This morning I did maybe 10 showdowns and it was constant win-lose-win-lose. I achieved nothing, just burned theough a bunch of my tickets and put myself in a ****ty mood.

Can I limit my track list to not have hard start tracks like, Quagmire, Mud Cakes, Buzzsaw, Coaster Canyon, Hilltop Ghetto on my showdowns...?
I always waste 3-6 tickets to make the 1st obstacle!
I'm gonna climb up to rank4 to get that 3th blueprint, and thats it.

The hardest part is to make rank2 so we can match up against legends... so thoughest will be somewhere rank 5-2...Originally Posted by MaTiSpOrT Go to original postJust keep playing! almost every legend are trying to help other players.

"played/helped" a level 4 few mins ago, so as I said just keep playing.

Perhaps, but this season the damage will be done; people have been pushing to legends because everyone has had time to make it..... But many won't this time. RL has forgotten that people only play when:Originally Posted by MaTiSpOrT Go to original postJust keep playing! almost every legend are trying to help other players.
1) they feel they are making progress and have a chance of succeeding.
2) they have rewards to earn
Whats the reward for reaching legends? Achievements aren't recorded, the slate is wiped on Monday and the lab rats run the next maze they give us.
What's the cost of not making legends? You miss 1-2 blueprints on a bike that needs 50. Oh well; it's not like the goal is very close... No big loss.
What's the reward for simply playing? This season..... Nothing. 50 chips a game won't get those 35k/40k tracks people want. The pots are pathetic too.
In the end, you get to legends by riding over the bodies of others who think they can make it..... Who don't have your skill/drive/determination. There is a massive number of people who play this game who never make legends.... And they don't have a reason to play any more this week. When those people dissappear, the matches get hard, the wait times get longer, progression slows to a crawl. . .
We have now reached that critical point in this season, I think. Where people now will decide they don't have enough time to devote to make it. . . And hey, this time RL gave us a format where we can only play one game at a time effectively. As you start to fall behind the pace you see that every star you miss today is another 10-20 minutes on Sunday you have to play if you are going to squeeze across the finish line.... And maybe that's just not possible, or worth it to you (and that's okay)
And when the next season starts, that much more people will have realized that missing some donkey pieces DIDNT cause the world to end, and it will be much easier to skip it next time when the going gets tough, or simply find something else to do. This kind of season may have a short-term boost in ticket sales for them, but it's the kind of season that kills the player-base long-term.
Season too short. Rewards too small. End of story. 50-50 chance they extend the season at the last minute.
