Talk:Balance of Power/@comment-96.54.76.211-20180311221353

Alas, after just squeaking through one or two previous SE's, whence I vowed to myself never to attempt another, I buckled and gave this one a go (only because I was a few hundred GCs up on the minimum 600 I like to keep on hand for the evermore rare 40-50% Off sales).. So, after cloud saving, and in one continuous session at my device --to avoid the game making my 'trial' upgrades permanent through it's insidious auto-save 'feature' -- talk about Draconian! thanks, FM :-( -- I tried pushing through from Stage 2 to Stage 5 by upgrading to all 3s, and trying each race a few times with different assists settings and driving strategies, and buying 'skips' with GC as needed to advance (which, after level 2, became more often than not along the way).. by the end of Stage 5 I'd have had to wait a day for Stage 6, which would, of course, trigger an auto-save (with all those expensive level 4+ upgrades and skips), so I decided to wave the white flag and Restore to my previous GC bank to end the madness. Bottom line: Unless FM starts adjusting the difficulty level of Special Events to be on par with Time Limited Series, 'Balance of Power' is definitely the LAST Special Event I will enter. WAY to frustrating for me!! I, for one, prefer the standard LTS, Career and Motorsports racing formats over these 'tricked up' Special Events.. and I suppose, among the multitude of 'average' racers engaged in RR3, I'm not alone. So, yes, FM, I'll 'Keep Racing', but NOT in 'Special' (and, please, quit using 'FREE' in your hype, because nothing could be further from the TRUTH). That's it.. I'm done venting. Out.
