Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 4)/@comment-26319194-20160402124328

Well done to those who completed this challenge at the first attempt - kudos!

For me, the popularity of this event is clearly illustrated by the table of events up top. Beyond Boss 3 it is basically EMPTY - compare that to previous Special Event tables...

I only made it to Boss 5 (Event 19) about once and regularly failed at Boss 3 if it was a NASCAR track, which it was 90% of the time. I pity the Coders/Progammers who spent (/wasted) time creating the later events that only a minority of players will ever see. If it was a non-NASCAR track on which to beat the boss, I was always ahead by the first corner despite an Extreme label for the difficulty. But I never had the luck for this to be at Boss 4 or 5 or I would have got further. Normally I can get to about level 30-40 in The Gaunlet challenges.

Additionally, I've not mastered the Demoltion Derby technique - there's always enough cars left running to beat me and the manicly reversing bots always seem to hit me and not the AI cars.

I took the decision not to fully upgrade the car (18/27) because:

1. I didn't have enough R$ at the start of the event.

2. I don't have time or desire to spend all day farming Le Mans (it's a game, not a way of life ffs).

3. I am at the stage of my career where I will want to buy Enzo Ferrari, Agera, CCXR and Audi Le Mans (2014) soon and they are frankly, far more interesting.

4.  I already have 3 other Identikit Ford Fusions in my garage, I don't want or need any others.

Personally, I find this event lacks balance and interest.

I take the point made by others about converting R$ to Gold, but I have never been one of the players clamouring for this and I shan't be busting a gut to complete any of the 8, 9, 10 outstanding NASCAR career series in my game because they are just plain dull.

I'd be keen to see a poll to show how many players never made it past Boss 4 or 5 throughout the event. I'd guess the vast majority from comments posted here.

On the plus side, if this event puts off enough players, perhaps FireMonkeys customer support will find time to get round to  actually   answering my support ticket which is nearly a month old now!!!

I await the inevitable replies about me being an unskilled amateur who should stick to tanks
