Hi to ALL my Fellow Addicted Frontier Riders,
It's been about 3 weeks since I made my last post (didn't have time to get on here till now) when I was asking where I can get the last blueprint pieces for the Berserker and Phantom bikes and I just wanted to say Thanks to all those that replied to let me know where I could get them as I've got both bikes now and they're about halfway upgraded now as well !!
Once I knew where and what I had to do I decided to go on a Mission Blitz whenever I had a bit of spare time to play and for about 2 weeks I was in the Zone and ploughing through every level I played within about 5-8 tries on each track (always gotta have a few to learn a new track etc.) and next thing I knew I'd found the mountain of platinum parts needed for the girl making "The Beacon" and I had beaten A.N.B.A, Cassidy, Leroy and also done the Daily Prospector Missions to get the rest of the Phantom Blueprint Pieces as well (wish I could play like this in the PvP races as well. lol) so I finally managed to get the Phantom then I kicked Butch's butt on his track, 'The Grindhouse', only to be disappointed to find out that it's "The End" of the Story Missions.....
.....I was expecting there to be a load of new Missions / Tracks to play with the Phantom bike, similar to the ones we had with Igor when we got the Marauder !?
So with this I thought I'd have a go at doing the rest of the Ancient Guardian and Ghost Missions that I'd hardly played (thought this was a good time as I'd just whooped the others) and the last few missions of each were a proper challenge but I've finally managed to beat both of them until they each opened a new track for me.....I managed to beat the Ghost on his track fairly easily BUT the Guardian.....I like the track (Great Wall) but he is hard to beat seeing as he makes the jump across that gap halfway through the track, which just can't be done with a half upgraded Mantis, BUT after about 4-5 days of try after fail after try after stack after stress after crash after try after beer then even more beer and some much needed sleep, the next day.....I FINALLY managed to kick his butt.....
By the time I'd done beating the Guardian I had forgave RL for the fact that they designed the game to give us the final bike (not counting the Donkey) at the end of the story mode and found I'm even more addicted to Frontier than I thought plus I understand why my lady gets p#ssed at me sometimes too !! (gotta get her to like this game then all will be good. lmao)
I also jumped-up the World Leader Board quite a fair chunk to what I was when I last post from around Rank 4500'ish to 2717 now plus I've managed to get 22 of the 23 Data Cubes as well, just waiting to hit Lv.16 of the Slot Machine so I can get the 'Troll Lair' track and complete the outfit.....Unless someone knows if I can get this track anywhere else but the Slot Machine then please can you let me know, Cheers !?
Onward to more grinding for the Donkey bike now, I'm about halfway through the mountain of Blueprint Pieces needed so I've got a way to go yet.....This game is quality !!
I just thought, that after a few intense weeks, I'd share my achievement/s with you ALL and maybe others can post similar conquest stories of their own in this thread as well !?
Anyway, Thanks Again to ALL those that have replied to any of my questions and helped in any way shape or form as your words of wisdom helped to get me here.....Much appreciated and Thanks for Reading !!
!? Hope the 2 screenshots I added to this post are showing this time !?
Unfortunately, the Phantom is absolutely useless. There isn't one track that it can outrun the Berserker on. I wish they would make some though. I used to like it on Dark Machine, but now that my 'zerker is upgraded it's the better choice.
See Lazy Catapult WR for the exception, I was shocked when i started to race the ghost and it was moving so oddly, it took me about 10 runs to realize it was a phantom.Originally Posted by justinman114 Go to original post
Edit:
As far as accomplishments go, I worked crazy hard recently to get all my track rankings into the top 100, I would go as far as saying I was obsessed with reaching the goal. I was really glad though when I finally reached it!
Holy crap I never knew. And that track happens to be next on my list to get everything in the top 100 as well! EEEEERIE.Originally Posted by weee99 Go to original post
Yeah it seems to me as though the Phantom was more of an after-thought just to make all 3 tiers even !?
I agree that they should have made a few tracks that specially suit each bikes style or at the very least they could of done as I said and gave us a few missions to do with the Phantom (like Igor and the Marauder) once we finally got it, instead of ending the story mode within the next couple of tracks.....Which weren't Phantom friendly tracks either !!
Would be nice if they do release a few bike specific tracks for us,sometime in the near future, so that the Balanced and Speed bikes don't become obsolete and pointless upgrading them OR at the very least make us a few Speed Bike tracks !?
Also, Congrats to you weee99 on your top 100 mission.....Nice one mate, there's nothing wrong with obsession, in moderation !! lol![]()
I'm sure they could do it. There are already plenty of Tier 1 tracks that are preferred with the Bronco, and several Tier 2 that are preferred with the Marauder. There are even a couple Tier 2 tracks where the top 50 or so is pretty evenly split between the Mantis and Marauder. Logging Camp and Risky Rooftops come to mind. Tier 3 needs some love!
@OP, congrats for the dedication, effort and will to hump teh limits. You do know, there are no limits, right?Means, you will will only improve with practice and time.
Kudos!
Thanks peeps.....I was going to come on here and ask for some tips on how to beat the Guardian (he was the hardest imo) but I finally managed to beat him after about a million-billion attempts (haha) I just couldn't get a clean run through seeing as it's a hard track as well.....I Bust my butt ploughing through that load of missions, didn't realise how much I'd done till I looked at the map properly afterwards !! lol
