It’s unfair to people who experience lag, or just aren’t as good as people who can run1:05 min races. I feel the points should be equal, and instead of using placement for point amount, there should have been four different maps similar to boss events where all players get the same points for playing that map no matter their place. Reward for placement should be more tokens, not points. Someone like me who usually gets third or fourth place has to run over 2200 times plus to get to platinum tier, and the energy drops are TERRIBLE. I do like how this event is a little more challenging, but it’s a little challenging-almost impossible for the average player who usually gets platinum tier for other events on the third or fourth day.
Also, a BIG problem with this event is the lag. My ping average is between 29-53 and when I’m running with players who don’t experience lag everything runs smooth. However, when I run with players with high ping and bad lag my screen freezes us, my car freezes and stops moving even hitting gas, I also lose control with joystick I.e. joystick no longer turns the car. My average lap run is 1:12 but when I suffer other people’s lag issues my laps take a minute and a half.
Another disappointing event that could have been much better. This is why I no longer buy platinum and invest money into this game.
