Decided to clock how much time each activity actually takes in Online adventure, here’s the breakdown of A class outback racing adventure:
My time is 28:20.54
Lap times:
-
3:13.29 - drive to the event #1
-
0:56.78 - waiting for players and awards
-
3:07.60 - race #1
-
0:36.56 - waiting for players
-
0:40.70 - awards screens
-
0:59.15 - drive to the event #2
-
3:15.81 - race #2
-
1:20.31 - waiting for players and awards
-
1:09.13 - drive to the event #3
-
1:12.56- waiting for players and awards
-
3:23.41 - race #3
-
1:24.66 - waiting for players and awards
-
1:53.48 - drive to the event #4
-
0:54.39 - waiting for players and awards
-
2:41.26 - race #4
-
1:31.39 - waiting for players and awards
Which means that only 12 minutes 28 seconds were spent actually racing of a 28m20s adventure. 7m15s spent in free roam getting to race starting points. 8m37s spent staring at standings and xp/credits screens. Showing XP and Credits gain after each action is the worst offender, it wastes so much time for no purpose. Can’t see a reason to drive to events either since it can last longer than an actual race for no rewards and there’s a whole game mode called online freeroam made specifically for people who just want to roam around the map.
