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.
This was a real eye opener for me.
Shortly after the event started, maybe day two or three, not sure, the device I have been using for quite some time finally crashed once too often. Not related to the event, just a random crash. The device did not survive this particular crash.
Decided I wanted to try to complete the event so bought another device. Imagine that, no more crashes. I finally get to see this game from the point of view of people without constant problems. A downside is the game runs so much faster, I need to learn how to play all over again. The racing was much easier on my old device when I could get it to work.
Which more or less brings me to the Jaguar special event. I had to replay quite a few races during this event. Some of them more than five times. I believe this was due both to the difficulty of the races and my getting used to this new device and the major changes to the game because of it. So spent much more on fuel tickets than expected. Usually 180 gold gets me the fuel tickets I like to complete the event. I think it took around 900 gold this time. Not sure, but a lot.
Now the final race. Lately I haven't been buying blueprints during events, but I decided I wanted this car at stage 6, so bought 25 blueprints. All parts of the car were also at stage 6 except turbo which was at stage 5. PR for the final race was 774. That was at least 70 more than the idiot opponent cars, which were as described above, still rediculously faster. I tried the race twice and for the first and last time ever, spent gold to bypass the race.
Still don't know what to think about all this.
