@Stylehot5 lol 😃
Must admit I find your posts more and more amusing. First you started with paying 200+ bucks, complaining about a boring game and bragging about finishing in another month. Then you whined more and claimed you are quitting. And now you are advising players how to play it for free?
Anyway, a couple of comments on your "strategy" and claims within:
* I have yet to encounter someone to find this forum while starting with the game. Mostly we do find it once stuck, or at least after a month or so of playing, in the middle game. So probably no real use for those starter advice.
* You are now in your 4th month of playing, with hundreds of dollars paid, and with fuel and rep bonuses which weren't here half a year ago. Where are you in your game and when will you beat the Campaign? Just to compare it to others (including myself) who finished in 4-5 months without paying much and without new bonuses (namely rep).
EDIT: Oh, just found in another thread you managed to finished the Campaign, so congrats 🙂
* Special events - I do not agree with your advice not to enter them at all. First, it gets you a new car, sometimes a new rep source (another Car Serie) and a new source of fun. Excluding Fastlane, you often get a car which can actually help you in the Campaign, and learn new tricks or features. And it does not hurt your progress in the Campaign at all.
* BRR - same as special events. Ok, no need to take it seriously, but taking part in BRR can teach you to race better, can be an excellent cash source, as well as a source of F40 blueprints, without hurting your progress. Do it.
* Spending gold - sane person won't fall for offers in Black Market and other offers. But you are getting 30-100 gold a day, and you do have a right to spend it somewhere. Some claims on using it on special events blueprints, as they are hard to get otherwise (or downright impossible), some use it for fuel, when they feel like racing or advancing in the game, some use it even to pay for another flip in mystery reward when there is another blueprint, for example. Moderation is the key here.
* Race skips - there's nothing wrong with them either. Of course, you are losing the money from the race itself, but you get the reward. And saving RL time. What about you have a minute of your time and full fuel tank? Either you can race one event and get cash for racing (and mystery reward), or you fire 5 or more race skips and miss cash for racing, but get all those rewards, including blueprints? I say to go for it!
another thing to add is that there are many races where the cash earnt from the actual race is very little and not worth the real time, a lot of the time trial races wont give you chance to earn much cash, personally i use autodrive when farming for parts/cash as i cant be bothered with having to actually race, i think race skips are great, especially when you're having to farm bearings and hoses like a crazy person to upgrade your hyper cars, if it means you can squeeze in more races per day maximising your fuel then surely race skips are good thing
i also agree that you should run the special events, it doesnt detract from the main campaign mode, doesnt use any fuel as they have thier own tickets, so why not, yes there is the issue of it potentially giving you a worthless car, but, once you get to the stage of unlocking tuning the more cars and car upgrades you have the higher your mechanic level so you get to use more tuning per race
i will say one thing about se cars though, the first se i got to play in was last years lambo huracan event, i completed the event and got the car but it had a rep level 65 restriction on it so i couldnt use it, once i'd got to rep level 65 i'd got other cars through campaign mode that had a higher pr value, perhaps it would help newer players if restrictions like this were removed
brr is a good way to earn cash, again without having to use fuel, so why not, yes i agree its frustrating but one of the main problems with the game is there comes a point where you get choked by a lack of cash, brr in some ways answers that issue as it gives a source of cash whilst still having the fuel to go farming for materials
there is 32 gold available each day if you complete all the daily tasks, plus you can get another 5 gold through watching videos, now whilst there is a lot of stuff that costs gold, thats a lot more free premium game credits than you'd get in other games, if you add on the monthly gold card as well that should give you a fair bit of gold for buying bps when a new se comes around
all in all, whilst i agree that there are still issues with the game i think it has come a long way from where it was this time last year
@Stylehot5 one last comment on this topic - more than two months ago you bragged to finish this game within a month and I rendered that impossible even with unlimited money/gold. Still you have finished very soon, kudos to you, good job. From the upgrade path you have taken it is clear that last changes (including changes during those two months) have changed the way to beat the game. Before then, Viper was not eligible (low PR) to beat chapter 19. Also, I suppose you have used preseason BRR rewards to stage him over 900, which otherwise takes about three months by normal upgrading (namely those legendary kits and scanners). And then there are those rep boosts which you have exploited fully.
I have never said you have beaten the game just because you are paying. But yes, that helped. A lot. Main thing, as you have admitted, are fuel refills, when you are getting 60 % more for the same amount of gold. And while a free user can afford a single refill per day, paying customer can get much more.
Event pass and all access pass - there is no lie here as well. Yes, you have to pay to use them, but still you have the possibility. Free user just have to wait for refresh, which means this is another way to speed up the process by using gold. You know, when they make you pay money to get gold, it is only natural to supply you with more possibilities to spend it :-)
Have fun.
