wow, powerful! I'll try to incorporate some of this into the other thread I started on ping-pong. thanks a lot!
Highest I've gotten was something like 80k and a level 4 part. Now that I'm in Legends hopefully I'll be able to get more larger ones going.
I hate how some people always drop a fault each time when ping ponging. As long as you have less time on the clock, it's totally fine to have the same fault count. Py2014, I'm looking at you![]()
Well to be fair, its really, really easy to add faults at any time (just hit the reset button) and when you are making the run there is zero doubt that you will win if you are one fault below, so it makes for a much less stressful ping-pong. It really hurts that the game does not tell you exactly what their track time actually IS....I have spent plenty of extra tickets/reruns trying to time it and beat someones time only to have them take off and beat me instead (arrggh!)Originally Posted by the_hezy Go to original post
No sure, I get that you can't always be perfectly accurate with what time you set. But even right off the bat he was dropping faults. I set 1:00 / 25 on each track, and he jumped to something like 0:35 / 24 on each, just based on how long it took him to get up to 24 faults.
What I like to do when it's clear the other person knows what's going on is just go slowly from the last checkpoint on, so that if they're waiting to see me go they'll be able to catch me and set a marginally better time. Obviously not an exact science.
did either of you start off with a healthy bit of chips?
We get 2000, 2500 and 3000 on the showdown loot wheel. Can't remember if that's more than rank 1 or not.Originally Posted by sriskus Go to original post
oh duh yeah i knew that. i was reading that as chips. as if legends made chips faster some how.
nope, in fact the opposite, as if matched with non-legend, they only seem to go for their best time, which kind of kills the whole idea and opportunity to make chipsOriginally Posted by sriskus Go to original post
When do you start getting chances to roll for a tier 4 or 5 item? I'm rank 7 (going on 10 at this rate), but I only see the tier 3 item, then gems and more gems.
