Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 13)/@comment-32997411-20180119095349

Finished it in 2 runs with R$ only (planned to do it in 1 run but screwed up with the cloud restore somewhere)..

Observations:

- Fully R$ upgraded the 919 the first day

- Did have all cars except the Cayman, some with gold but none FU. Did buy the first round of upgrades for the Cayman when it became available.

- Wachted a gazllion ads.

- All challenges except the bosses where easy (± 90%) or medium (±10%). Did try not to win with too big margins.

- Speedsnap boss 11 (Indy) was hard (well for me really hard..), took me about an hour.

- Boss 12, 13 and 14 where suddenly 'extreme' (cups on Silverstone, Suzuka and Dubai Hill with the no-offtrack for > 1 sec). Had some trouble with Silverstone, took me about 10 tries. Suzuka and Dubai where somehow quite easy.

Although it was a great event, I cant imagine that new (casual) players will succeed without spending a lot of gold (especially if they arent aware of the cloudrestore trick). Most new players also will simply not have enough R$ to even upgrade the 919 to the first 1 or 2 rounds. Offcourse they can try to do it in multiple runs but it would take them too much time AND the bosses become harder and harder (adding to the frustration).
