    KTM Rally No0b questions

    Hey all,

    The KTM 450 Rally is my first challenge, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. That said, here are a few questions:

    1. What is required to make "Rank 1"? Is it simply the player with the top score or is there a range? Not that I have a chance

    2. Is there any reliable way to race your own (or someone else's) ghost in the event? I've managed it a couple of times in the KTM Rally, but the "opponent" was not on a KTM 450. When this happened, I was previously browsing the general leaderboards and the opponent was the last person I clicked on before starting a KTM Rally course.

    3. Does anyone still have messed up leaderboards for individual tracks? For me, it seems that some track leaderboards are based on data from a different track entirely. So on one track I might be ranked #40000, and on others I'm #1. Neither is accurate, I'm not that good (or bad). The overall leaderboards seem like they've been fixed (I was #1 there for a while too )

    Hey,

    This event is full of bugs at the moment, so if your racing and not seeing your results update this will be why.

    Firstly, reaching rank 1 will be seriously hard. This is going to be the top spot, and only one rider will achieve it.

    Secondly, i dont think there is a way to race ghosts, or if there is, i havent found it.

    Thirdly, Again. Leaderboards are a mess!

    Sorry your first even had to be a nightmare.

    Last KTM event RL had to remove the hackers at the last minute to keep them from getting 1st. I think some still got through in some of the weeks if I recall correctly. Lets hope they plan to do that again or rank#1 is worthless.

    Agreed. About the only thing I trust at the moment is that the KTM total percentage matches the global KTM LB position. Which in the end, is the one that counts, I guess.

    The individual KTM track percentages are a total mess. My main ID and my alt-id have essentially the same time, but my main ID says its in the top 1% of track times, and the alt-id says its in the top 42% of the track. Makes no sense whatsoever.

    And I cant tell you how many times its told me I have a new track high score but I dont get to see the ranking popup to show my KTM event global points being added. However, they DO appear to be added, since my global points for the event keep rising... which means I am one of the lucky ones I beleive.. at least my effort is being counted where it needs to be.

    I'm glad I read this, I thought the top 1% got the whole bike not just the top rider. I don't think I can make the top 1% but I did t think I could make the top 5% either and I'm currently in the top 4% so maybe a couple of lucky runs :wish:

    Thanks, these answers will help me keep my sanity. Plus, no pressure to achieve Rank #1.

    To those who have had the event end prematurely, I hope that RL fixes things soon!

    I hope RL eventually allows players other opportunities to earn missing blueprints. As I read it, you've got to finish top 5% in every week of this challenge in order to earn enough blueprints for the KTM 450...there are gonna be a lot of players who just miss out.
