    Treasure Hunt is Pretty Pointless a Few Hours After Starting

    Two reasons:

    1. You have to pay £14.99 just to make it easier
    2. CZE-pesko-TFG has been first to find the map pieces on 21/40 occasions! Maybe RL should have only allowed games to have this on only one??

    RL also say map clues are every 6 hours when it's 8 hours on mine, bizarre.

    Yep, it does seem to be 8 hours per map clue refresh. And if you multiply that 8 hours per clue up, there are 42 opportunities across the two weeks to get 40 clue pieces - meaning players can only miss *2* if they want to get all tracks. Seems awfully convenient that the event is so ridiculously tight at the same time as the Riders' Club has launched, with each package's daily smattering of free gems.

    Hi,

    there is indeed a mistake in the text, it should say that the clues are every 8 hours and not 6. The team is looking into it.

    PS: we opened a general thread about the Treaser Hunt event. Please let's continue there so that we have every questions at the same place

    I play on androïd. Here, it is yoshiki-aoki that got most of the first places.

    Coulda been any guy who (probably) isnt from the US when event started (it was midnite-4AM for us.....) who had 200+ gems to burn... it could been any of them. yoshiki-aoki doesnt surprise me at all...

    .... keeping track of who got each piece first was sort of a silly idea on RLs part; I just described why. Its not like it takes SKILL to do it.

    (sigh) If RL wants us to focus on names at the top... then maybe they should devote more effort to removing the hackers at the top of the Android LBs instead of this stuff....

    i like the update but creditting the first to get a piece is very stupid
    it would be great if there would be no chance of skipping for gems :\
    all you needed to be first is to get the update early and have 195gems
    without skipping with gems it would be a real competition

    I was worried about that too mate - I just spent the gems to avoid this happening. However, you can in theory get a near 16 hour window if you spend 5 gems and find the track straight away you then have 7h50m (or so) before the new 8h window opens, leaving you with more time to sleep/work etc.
