Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 5)/@comment-2.126.82.97-20160427095600

I'm almost done at 130k points (level 104, just unlocked RTLM on career). Made it past the Boss at lvl 24 twice. I don't think it's particularly difficult to get 150k points, but it feels terribly grindy. I've had some of my best driving ever then replied with silly challenges, either silly easy no collision autocross or silly hard no skid, no off-track w/ the steering pulling randomly L/R.

The one thing I hate about gauntlets is the meta-gaming involved with saving/restoring. If you add bot-slowing into the mix, it ends up being a royal pain. I'd much rather have the gauntlet forgive your failures, but charge additional tickets per retry. That way, good players march on, normal players restart a few times, and metagamers don't waste hours in the double restore cycle.

By the way, if 1 GC ~ 6000 fame ~ 5:30 minutes @ le Mans, then 150 GC corresponds to ~14 hours of lapping le Mans without the agent, or 8 to 9 hours with it. Lapping le Mans would have also yielded ~5M R$. Or we could have watched ads for 1h 15m and forego le Mans.
