Unlike the previous versions, I enjoyed this one, despite the server issues. Why? Because, unlike the others, I actually had a realistic chance of winning this one. That’s all I need to get excited about one of these. Goals of any kind need to be realistic to matter. So, thanks for that.
Only one small quibble with the current one - I don’t think the credit prize will be a big draw. Reason - most of the people capable of beating John’s improved time probably have several millions in their account already. I’m sure most will continue to do it just for the fun or challenge. But, due to the ease of getting credits in this game, money as a prize really doesn’t work. I think the badges/liveries (if available) are the way to go.
I mean, I own every car in the game, minus non-Season Pass DLC and still have 20 million. Tunes aren’t that expensive.
This has been fun. The servers issues - eh, stuff happens. Looks at badge…yes, my precious.
John spent days improving his time, nd probably like 80% he twitched it so the community can see it, i dont have “all the cars” or 20 million i have about 10 mil and just the cars i want. and like you said its not the credits…its the street cred and the hot ladies. Remember when you were playing super mario brothers and had to tun it off losing all progress?..its just fun. earn your right to send mister sideways cap a “loveletter”
I’m sitting on 90million credits, yet I’m still more than happy to pwn the Unicorn Saint
Just be glad they don’t unleash certain other members of staff on us with Bounties!
Anyone recall the drifting bounty on Kaido… They unleashed one of their best drifters on us, who only drifted HALF the course and he still nailed 70,000 points!
You’re right about that. Johnni is good, but, you don’t have to be a top 500 driver to beat him, generally. Mechberg (and others), on the other hand, are top level drivers. You generally have to be at the elite level to beat him.
I think people misunderstood some of my comments about the previous Bounty Hunter Challenges. If they promoted the challenge like “Hey, top level drivers, we’ve got something for you. Can you take on Mechberg?”, I would have no problem with that. My issue was that they promoted them as something attainable for everybody, when in reality, only a very small group of elite drivers had a realistic chance of winning. Reminded me of selling candy bars in Little League baseball. They would bring you into a room full of cool prizes like Atari and Intellivision to motivate you. Then you would sell 10 candy bars, being miserable the whole time. And, the kids that won the prizes did so because their dads had a retail distribution network around town (you figure this part out as an adult). I think that is the purpose of Little League Baseball - teaching you life isn’t fair at an early age.
Great question. I still believe that the BH Challenge that makes the most sense is a Prague challenge using a stock McLaren P1 in Orange. This was the car and track used in all the promo for the game pre-launch. It would be fantastic! We could all use the P1 or, how about this… The promo video showed an orange McLaren P1 chasing a white McLaren F1 through Prague. How about one of the Turn 10 devs drives a white F1, sets his best time and the rest of us have to use the orange P1 to beat his ghost? The only problem here is the F1 is A class with a PI of 680 vs the P1 with a PI of 867.
If you have any thoughts or suggested adjustments to this then please post. Lets get some traction under this and maybe the mods will bring it to the attention of Turn 10.
But PLEASE, Turn 10, give away a special livery car this time. Credits mean so much less when the car pack cars are free and you can earn credits so quickly by leveling up.
