Here are some racer's thoughts

--

The event was an nerve wracking and disappointing event yet again. I was expecting a great challenge and an interesting event from this one, and I also liked the Hyura, but it didn't feel like it so much. Mostly these new events feel like the Monkeys just glued them together and call it a day. I thought the event with the 812 was terrible (which it was),but this event is placed next to it. The level of difficulty is beyond the recommended PR, which to me is a problem, because it makes it hard for many to win the event and feels like it is aiming at the top 0.1% players, while players with average skill or casuals can't even get a chance to win the car. Even talented, top skill and above average skill players had problems with this event. I know I ran into some difficulty and I am a WTTT Group B/C and once Group A, so I know I have skills. Some of the events were challenging but are possible to beat by practicing and improving is good, but making an event goal impossible to achieve, even with recommend PR, above recommend PR, and Fully upgraded is outrageous. Another thing I don't like are these strange glitches that also fail you during the events, 7.4 is a good example, even when you pass the goal is downright idiotic and shows the laziest programming in the game. I had some good challenges from some of the event in this SE, but the outrageous difficulty and oversighted glitches Pushed me to my limits on the new SEs that FM put out, which is now making me think about never to play them again, and I always enjoyed doing them and improving my skills, but at this point I will be taking my skills and time elsewhere than RR3 SE. I ran into tough challenges in GT, Forza, Project Card, Grid, Assetto Corsa, and other games, but after getting better and finding solutions to pass hard challenges and succeed by skill, not paying money to pass a poorly designed and outrageous event.

I understand that the idea of time limits, no off track and no skidding are to bring the game more in line with actual racing and live up to the REAL racing name. However, when upgrading the car is pushing 400 gold ($50), then those restrictions feel more like a method to force players to spend on the game, because without those upgrades, finishing within the time becomes near impossible or hitting the average speed requires reckless driving. I'd been saving my gold for the Toyota TS040 Hybrid because it's a car I've wanted since it was introduced, this event set me back over half the price of that car when considering I had to skip events. Goals like 7-4 were near impossible without purposefully going off-track, how is that real racing? And with regards to a $50 price tag- I could go and buy 3 full racing games for that same price

Too hard

Nice and challenging

no

First time I ever skipped. I just didn’t have enough spare time to put in to get the perfect laps required

Without 9.2 this event wouldn be so hard

It was very difficult

It was great

Good

Hard but doable

Fun and excellent car

Italian brakes in Italian car :D

I think I’m gone quit with the game

It was all one giant time trial. I want to race against other cars not the clock.

Made want to quit game forever

Recently, it is getting harder. Please care about player

Absurd event. Requires A LOT of gold/ in app purchases

Not worth the time or effort

Felt like it was for the people who plays just perfect. For the top 5-10%. For other 90% people, way too hard.

Hard but fair

hard but satisfying

Overall wasnt too bad with my upgrades but with any less i had trouble meeting the average speed and races in a certain time limit. 7.4 autocross was stupid, spent a while retrying that.

time trials are the hardest for me

No

Time limit events should be reasonable

Please make a easy to success

Absolutely not fun at all. I understand a little difficulty but here it was way too much: could not do 8.4, 9.2 or 9.4 even with an FU car (WTT class C driver with a FU car, so top 5% !)

probably could have done it if i had more r$ to upgrade

Motorfiasco 2! What a scam...

As an average "driver" I normally complete all the goals with the recommended PR, although with top cars I've sometimes had to skip one goal but never more than that. This time the two cups that had to be finished in a given time proved to be way out of my leage.

It was hard and expensive

You do not seem to care about fun for the average majority player

Judging by the complaints, only the top 5% players could obtain the car without upgrading to ridiculous levels or skipping, not to speak of the frustration we all felt trying to pull off close-to perfect laps.

Awful

Your Question "what kind of event..." is completely useless in this case.

9-2 was extremely hard. I spent 2 hours trying to get past it.

Sure would benefit from some more balanced difficulty

very very difficult. wasted a lot of gold in it

Hardest special ever played, I had to fully upgrade the car for the first time to win an event.

Absolutely NO off-track through 2-3 high pressure laps is asking a lot...

Too many ridiculous challenges that required FU and still not reachable

Having the hardest challenges when you spent allready a big amount of gold and no time to solve them is not funny at all. It.............

Worst ever! Not fun, nearly full upgrade to finish, had to VIP to get enough runs. This was a total gold grab for EA. Felt like a job and not a game. I’m a good driver and struggled.

I didnt like it at all, car was Great tho

The hard (time consuming) events were too close to the end of the event.

Frustrating

No idea.

Challenging but really nice

Enjoy the challenge but found the speed snap and average speed impossible. Second SE where I found the average speed challenge impossible

I felt cheated that I could not win the car, and I missed out on the final 2 days events. I spent too much real cash on this, and received nothing. Please help.

Special events used to be great, now they're just money grabbing

Events have become filled with too many pointless races that waste car condition and make it impossible to win not just this car but other recent cars. Combined with the cost of the actual car make it only available to select few people who play the game.

The reverse track events are a middle finger to touch button/assist drivers.

Hardest ever!!! Never again!

Targets were much too hard for the average player.

I didn't have enough time tbh

Was tougher than any other.

Horrible - will not play if this is the base line

Not fun. I didn't PLAY GAME, just did hard work. Don't make me real racer.

terrible for non veterans

Nay

一番難しいイベントだった. It was the most difficult event.

The car is good which is why this was somewhat tolerable. At all 3 it was bit hard but moderately slow and not extreme like f12 superfast event

Driving backwards in a track is dumb

Challenges are getting stupid. Too hard for gold spent. Stop the backwards around the track event. Time targets should be reasonable. Seems like FM is Forcing skips by having unrealistic targets. Sum of all skips should never be more than the cost of the car.

not that hard

Never again

harder than expected because Motorfiesta1 was "a walk in the park with" nearly zero upgrades

No so difficult to win with all 3s

hate paying GC to slow bots - upgrades provide much lower effect than spending GC to slow down leaders

Pretty easy for experienced player, pretty expensive though

The best taught is don't average speed is too very hard. Best solve is to need the average speed is easier than that.

Races not doable with recommended PR

One of the hardest

It was a bit easier than I thought based on the comments. For other SEs it is the opposite, maybe this car suits a bit more for me.

Cost of gold upgrades could be lower!

The most difficult SE I've played. IMHO it shouldn't be that hard with the recommended PR or above. In my case I skipped 9.2 after many hours with 5543333. I usually have rank C in WTTT

Too hard. Hardest yet for using gold and even difficult with full upgrades.

I needed to FU to have an enjoyable experience

Just difficult enough for being fun, without spending too much time

The driving physics really ruins the fun. The rear on the BC is loose, while braking distance is quite big

Almost unachievable

Too many extremely difficult challenges that take too many attempts to complete or even impossible at "recommended PR", left me with only a few hours to even attempt day 9, which I gave up on out of frustration.

Another SE with tough goals that are no longer fun and entertaining rather beeing too demanding for a fun game. we are not going to be race drivers in the real world so why do we have to run freaky hard goals.

PR not realistic, GC drain, 8.4 & 9.2 too hard.

Hard

I never waste gold on these anymore.

Ridiculous and almost impossible. Not conducive for newer players.

Good challenge, almost ran out of gold as I had only 105 left after the event but now its around 250 so I'll see what happens next; the Monza stage was quite nice since the car has the grip around the corners and all that needed to happen was me pushing the absolute limit (got the 3:57 goal done with 1 sec left) The timed 2:56 on Suzuka was also a good one, really pushing my racing line and braking points but luckily I sneaked through with around 0.1 sec left The 25 car elimination was the toughest one as I needed the upgrades to slow down Zoe enough so that I could PIT her and keep the lead; many times before I caught up and touched her car but was not able to pass The difficulty was about on par with Ride the Storm and Fearless and Carbon Copy so it was doable for me

Hard but not too hard, achievable with all 3s, good thing there weren't any speed snaps that required further upgrading to match the speed needed

It's just a... game

Average driver with FU-car (way over recommended PR) shouldn't have this much problem getting the car.

For my level the last day was a nice challenge with all 3's.

really don't want too many rolling roadblock AKA poorly programed robot around when there are time limit or other requirement, even worse when there are 20 of them smashing around. talking about 9.3 smashfest.

Both good

too hard

Good idea, I'm interested to know what the results show. However, don't expect anything to change as a result!

the jump in difficulty in the SE's is too much. I redid unleash the beast nearly 4 PR below recommended. This motorfiesta I was over the PR and really struggled

Event and event again EA and the monkeys are making these events harder and harder to suck gold out of players.
