How you doing? Is there any way to make this event fun? | Forums

[xitooner]

Does everyone think they will make it to the end of this godforsaken grind with all event goals met? I just passed 30K last night, so mathematically I shouldnt have any trouble making it with a few days to spare. . .

. . .but success isnt going to make this grind feel any better... I am having a harder time than usual convincing myself this event is actually... worth it . This is boring as heck; I dont even want to play the tracks I've earned right now. The only way I stay sane is to try and get a 300+ point pass (I have had a couple; anybody else?)

It doesnt help my attitude AT ALL that I have gotten the "track renew" bug at LEAST 7 times so far, costing me about 100 extra gems just for that. Can we just get rid of that bug? Is it so hard? Uggh.....

On the good side, I have seen some spectacular "heart explosions" on the tracks when you make some mistakes.... I think I might start posting pics of those, just for fun.

How about everyone else? You doing anything to make this more fun?

This event is not fun. I don't like how much they make a player play for 1.5 months or however long this event is on for. I still have not played the last 19 tracks. My rank is falling near 200 now. I don't have as much time for this game as I did for the last 3 years. It's a turn off with all the glitches and ridiculous events they are putting out. Once my gems are gone...I'm gone.

And 'tooner....glad to hear you're frustrated for once. You're usually neutral.

This has been a highly depressing event. I've played every day, set timers to ensure I don't miss races, spent diamonds for the speed-dating and gentle-touch boosters, and have just hit 21K. To think that one can put so much effort into it and still fall short, even while being 2% on the leaderboard. And I loved the last few events, even the poison jar one.

But, they got us. The deck is stacked throughout. Business case outbid customer satisfaction. Gentle-touch is an outright necessity and racing without it has become anger inducing. Just driving on a loop instantly robs you of 20 hearts, but with Gentle-touch it's zero loss. Shaking my head at losing hearts for riding that doesn't register vibrations on the phone. Without boosters I've never gotten more than *1* on Fenland Flail or Hanging Garden.

I can't wait for this event to end, so I can get more half-finished tracks on my map, alongside Reverse Engineering.

Oh, I have complained before; I've had some epic rants in the past. But lately I am more apathetic/realistic about the game in general; I beleive its as good as its gonna get. Case in point: we've been asking/demanding for all maps for years now; it doesnt seem productive to think you can force change/improvement by complaining on a dead forum with 1-30 posters, when we werent able to get them back when we had an active forum with 500-1000 forum posters saying the same thing.

Its too late really... the game is old now,and shrinking its user base....this is a month-long event and only has 131K players total across IOS/Android (msot have barely played the event and will get nothing). It may sounds like a lot of people until you see last year around this time there was 336K playing the 2017 Easter Egg Hunt, or the 442K that played in the 2016 KTM events (all can be seen on bonxys site).

Fenland Flail or Hanging Garden.

Those are the hardest two, for sure! Indigenous Village is a big pain as well; the only thing that keeps those event scores reasonable is to get Silver and hopefully get the 25 points off the wheel.... I never want to see those tracks again!

Not fun at all lmao. I am only at 20K but I have only bought boosters on a few days. My plan is to finish up on the last day or two by buying the two relevant boosters (not the timer refresh one) and just spending the 15 gems to refresh tracks until I have enough. I probably will need to do it many many times.

I haven't gotten the timer bug at all. I had it once on the first few days, but it fixed itself after I closed and reopened the game.

As for heart explosions. the finish line of Trapeze Churn wins.

Also, there is no way the booster that reduces impact by 50% is correct. That thing reduces it by WAY more than 50% LOL!

Seems like there are legit players who passed 40k a few days ago somehow. They must have refreshed the tracks instead of using speed dating. I'm sure RL is relying on people who spend money that way. It's the type of thing you have to deal with in these f2p mobile games.
Especially since they don't really have a way to get veteran players to consistently pay money like a lot of other mobile games have. Once you've upgraded all the bikes and gotten all the tracks there's not really much else to do. The game isn't based around a grind like all these f2p rpgs are.
It's really no wonder that the state of the game is the way it is now. I'm enjoying the game a lot since I'm still new, but I feel like it was doomed to peter out from the start.

I am at 39700 right now,with all 3 boosters running and i didnt bought the cupid outfit.
Getting 100 to 112♥ every race with gold medal and 50♥ from the lootwheel every 3rd race,be it any track indigenous village or hanging garden gold is getable.
I play 5 to 6 sessions in a day so will be completing it in a day or 2.
Soft landing is the key.

[sanymas]

Sometimes i do earn 450♥ per session,300+ from the track and 150♥ from lootwheel.

How about everyone else? You doing anything to make this more fun?

I changed camera angle and it's fun now to grind this event For real racing it's not convenient, but it's good for this event because you see old tracks from different point of view. (I didn't record event here, it's just test video)

Nice mod, negodyaeff
Cool indeed to see things in different (not saying that usable) perspective

For the event, nothing I can see to make it more "fun".
First I bought the suit but even with that no way I could get 40k points with the time I have in my hands to get the main prizes.

So... I brute-forced the event to gain some 30k points in two weekends with insanely expensive&boring grind sessions fully boosted
Sitting now on some 43k points and doing one round per day for good measure if time allows.
I "had" to, as the ugly outfit would've been a totally meaningless purchase
Still grinding... (my teeth)
