Most of the events wind up being very doable without spending any gold/hard currency at all. Yes, the final day is 17 races, but you're ignoring that you should have built up your ticket level to max before the day begins (this varies, of course, depending on if you've spent any money and have any VIP level in the game). Say you have a max total of 5, this means you'll be able to run through 5 events, and then over the course of 12 hours (out of the 24 hour period) you'll gradually replenish the tickets needed to complete the event.
That said, this event has some other massive difficulty issues that I'll be posting in a different thread that has made it basically impossible to do without spending gold on, and that is a change of pace, and not a good one.
- 8 years agoSo if I have a full compliment of tickets available when the last day of an event starts I only need to wait 12 hours to get enough tickets to complete the event? Factor in working for 8 hours, 2 hours travelling to work, having to prepare, eat and clean up after 3 meals, sleep for 8 hours and do things like drink, use the bathroom, shower, shave and general day to day routine things, I'd need a day that's about 32 hours long!
I appreciate that you could use gold for ticket replenishment, but I had hardly any gold, no VIP status and no inclination to spend actual cash money on the game. To my mind that, and the fact that you expressed in your other post how unfair the ability of the AI cars is in the final race, plus the layout of the zones on the track makes it nigh on impossible to complete without "paying to win".
Then to top it all off, the car is useless to you even if you do manage to dilate time and finish the event.
It just strikes me as EA trying to squeeze as much money out of players as they can, and that's not right.- TheRealJony8 years agoHero+
@phil3819 Made your thread the ultimate thread for Proving Grounds (Jaguar XE SV Project 8) special event.
@e_SonOfAnder, @Badhor174, and @GabyMk1 Merged your posts into this thread.
@GabyMk1 Please keep the font size to the appropriate font size. It makes it easy on the eyes.
Thank you.
Now here is what I thought of the last race of Proving Grounds (Jaguar XE SV Project 8) special event.
I'll be lying if I said the last race is actually easy. (I still stand by the two notorious hunter races from Nissan 180SX Type X Fastlane special event as easy races)
Since I'm a free player, I'm forced to spend a lot more time playing the game than people that invested real money into the game. So getting stuff from Pro store and upgrading my car wasn't a big issue for me.
However, the last race of the special event was incredibly difficult.
The AIs cheat. It's blatantly obvious that the AIs are cheating in that race. Whoever says otherwise is either blind as a bat or high as a kite.
There is NO friggin way a Ferrari 458 Italia or Lamborghini Diablo SV could accelerate just as quick as a Hyper car like a Ferrari LaFerrari.
I had no issues with the requirements to complete the last race. I only had a problem with the cheating AIs.
However, the cheating AIs are still beatable. It took me 11 tries (11 tickets), but I managed to win the insanely difficult race. Spent 180 Gold to win that race.
It's not impossible, but it's very improbable.
So whoever failed to win the Jag, I feel ya.

So tell me, how in the holy hell do you manage to gather nearly 7000 gold? The most I've ever had is around 60 and have had to use it just to level up in the normal game, never mind the special events.
