9 out of 10 linkups participated are incomplete . The stages and phases take too long . The amount of work and time spent shouldn’t reward so little for the people . Please take into consideration maybe losing a phase in the last stage but don’t drop the time. Thank you

Haha, I wouldn't be surprised.I'm thankful for game pass/EA play for including this game so the servers are populated, but it probably introduced a lot of kids to the game that, yeah, maybe can't or doesn't read those objectives.Burnout paradise had the same problem: people actively not completing objectives.

I'm half convinced people that play linkups aren't actually reading the objectives. I even dedicated a quickchat phrase to "draft behind me" and people still don't actively try to complete these objectives.That and the objectives where we need to DRIFT whilst smashing linkup barriers and barrels. I see players just driving straight into them. Depending on the linkup area, I've lost so many final rounds due to these issues.

It’s all to do with how many players are taking part and how many of those players are actually contributing. Try to find a better lobby with higher speed pass players, and then make friends with players who do get stuck in, or just come play with me 🙌

From what I experienced, I get placed in the Top 3 players in linkups quite often because a lot of players in linkups don't contribute much or they have not correctly fulfilled the objectives.😃 AshleeOrson wrote: Try to find a better lobby with higher speed pass players, and then make friends with players who do get stuck in, or just come play with me 🙌 I might just take up your offer on that. My friends rarely play NFS Unbound, so I had been playing the game alone most of the time. What's your in-game name? And do you play on PC or console? @Grishnaakh wrote:AshleeOrson Also doesn't help when some of the objectives are things that a lot of player seem to not understand, like Drafting. I've seen so many Linkup's fail because players just don't seem to know how to Draft. There's one objective that can cause linkup failures as well. The objective that requires players to drift and then hitting the linkup barrels and props. Sometimes, players just straight up hit the linkup barrels and props without drifting and it results in destroying the barrels and props with no points awarded / increase in progress. The barrels and props can take a while to respawn, resulting in losing time and cause possibly result in a linkup failing.

Well, today there were linkup rounds again in the daily tasks, and 2 linkups were not completed because the gamers are simply too stupid to complete tasks, and especially slipstreaming! You drive behind a gamer to slipstream, then the gamer makes a 180° turn and drives in the other direction, you get the same points, 1 x for slipstreaming, and 1 x for helping, and both linkups were because of that not finished. Therefore, leave out the slipstreaming task in the linkups and add some other task to it. I think 95% don't know what slipstreaming is.

@JudyRacingfor me the objectives that hinder linkup completion the most are 1) race to the marked zones, it just takes too much time and almost always causes the linkup to fail 2) smash objects while drifting, luckily i've gotten somewhat good at this one so it's not as much of an issue, and 3rd (the worst of them all), smashing the porsche emblems in the porsche linkup, that one almost always causes the linkup to fail in the final round

I've actually never had any problems with these tasks, you already know exactly where the Porsche emblems are, where the gold bears are and the marked zones always come in the same place, one zone came here, the other zone comes there. Then you realize that it's a game, after 1 there always comes 2, and that's sometimes boring because everything is programmed. I mean the linkups.

Just wanted to add to this.
I agree with everything you've posted; Race to the marked zones is absolutely cursed, I always prioritise this task yet we fail minimum 50% of the time, especially when there are more than, say, 8 players in a linkup. Smashing objects whilst drifting is my personal hell. I can do it, but the amount of players I see driving directly into these objects is infuriating, I really wish there was a "DRIFT, DRIFT, DRIFT" quickphrase. And the Porsche emblems... I really think that the Kennedy test track linkup is easily the worst linkup location in the game, solely because of this challenge. We probably fail 75% or more of this linkup location because of this challenge.
Give me matchmaking where smart people are able to complete these challenges regularly, and I'd be a happy man.

Ok, these marked zones always appear in the same order in the same place, which I find stupid because you can remember where they appear, and the other thing I think is that many gamers simply don't want to do tasks in the linkup.
