    Top 1%. 5000coins, 3xchains lvl4, 3 times 5 golden tickets. Oh and right after that "cannot connect", don't know if I've actually got everything. But couldn't care less honestly. I'd expect a new track or at least some outfit part I don't already have.

    Top 1%:

    Rarified Fuel, 5 gems, 3x Tier 5 Chains, 2 sets of 5 Golden Tickets. Unimpressed.

    5 gems as a prize?!? I could have sworn that 50 gems was an available prize the last time I played this. I know things have slightly changed here but 5 gems as a prize should not have been worth putting in. (Not ungrateful here, 5 gems is better than nothing but I still have to raise the point...) Not to mention that there were no new prizes and of course we were not going to know that before-hand and only would we know until at the end, but since no-one has received anything new here, then what's the point of playing it if nothing's new at all? Especially when I thought the new costume: The Vengeance Knight, might have been a new prize, because I thought 'Why was it there?' Possibly because of the MC Event, but no-ones mentioned getting it so it isn't an available prize. (I'm also aware that it says 'Available for Special Offer', so maybe it's only obtainable by buying it, but it's not the same for the Heartbreaker Outfit, it says the same thing there but it was obviously a Bunker prize in which we obtained which is a bit misleading, so that's why I was thinking that way in-case The Vengeance Knight outfit was a prize instead of it being misleading.)

    At least we didn't get 4/5 sets of parts, that was annoying, I know they put in more 'filler' prizes instead of parts but it's still not enough, we actually want NEW prizes, new tracks, outfits, paint-jobs, something that we should get as part of an event, at least anyway, or we end up being disappointed yet again, why bother playing the MC Event if it ends up like this? I know that's the dissatisfied part of me talking but still...

    glad that they were supposed to clarify what we could win, bla bla bla, and it once again stated 5 prizes, but i only got 4 (not to mention all were rubbish)
    Actually, you get 4 prizes as it described when you clicked on the Carbon Trophy with the set of trophies that you can have a look of what it contains. It was 5 prizes for that last time, but this time it's 4 prizes for getting the Carbon trophy, I don't know why you get less prizes for that this time. It's the same for the other trophies except Mythic, you get 2 prizes for those between 100% and 50%, and those between 50% and 25% (was 3 originally), 3 prizes for those between 25% and 10% (was 4 prizes originally). But you still get 5 for Mythic, with the best chance possible of obtaining the best stuff, in this case, filler prizes, since obviously there was nothing new here.

    All you guys saying "the rewards weren't worth playing for"... Why DO you play this game? Or any game. For rewards?!

    Sure, it is meaningful to get rewards since the game progress depends on them. But it's not the progress you play a game for, it's the playing itself. I often race against my own ghosts to get a better time on a track. It feels good. I don't expect other in-game rewards for that.

    I didn't get to play the Midnight event because of the "Can't connect" bug. THIS is what Ubi/RL is crapping on, not the lack of rewards. Every single update since way back has broke something, nowadays often making parts of the game unplayable. The log-in fiasco (THIS is what makes the game not worth playing), KTM 450 pullback and lost upgrades, Donkey stuck at a Metal Mayhem checkpoint, continuous server issues, non-delivered tracks etc. And try support: Whatever the issue, it might take weeks to get an automated response unrelated to the issue, saying you should reinstall your OS before they can continue investigating the issue.

    It is a working plan, to have you vent on the lack of decent rewards and be done with it. You let Ubi/RL get off so easy.

    Yes, since the Diablo III era. I am addicted to items and experience points/levels.

    Its almost like they nerfed the Midnite Circuit rewards....... just like they did when they nerfed Prospector by replacing him with Puppy. Sorta sucks to see those videos of hackers with 10 extra tracks on their maps, yet we cant even get any of these new tracks as rewards....

    ... and my alt-ID was easily in the top 3% but didnt get any Midnite circuit rewards at all.... it just popped up and said something about "time has expired", and shut down the Midnite Circuit. Oh well.

    And yeah, the log-in connection bug is STIILL terrible (not fixed by patch), and it looks like I lost 800K global LB score points because I was in some form of log-in limbo..... who knows....

    Only saving grace these days is that I spend most of my time on other games, so when TF goes bad I can just laugh at it and move on.

    Seems like there is a man in the RL developer team.
    A man, sitting in a dark room at the end of an empty corridor with flickering neonlights on the ceiling, in the basement.
    A man giving advices for anybody how to mess up anything that would be too simple, useful, helpful, reasonable, effective, rational, advantageous, logical, salutary, serviceable etc. for the players.
    Fire him! He is overpaid! He works too much and too good!

    I also am close to this point.
    yep, maybe it is the plan: force us to realize that a new TF2 would be cool
