This is my received tabs. Am I that scary?

The last one i think the server is glitching. I have one of those too🤷🏻‍♂️

[vast marlin]

@arctic wolf that's not a cheater, that's evo tuned chiron

[burnt dagger]

so? its just a game
its not that deep

and many play just for the rewards

can u share how much ratings u lost in each with how many races they won?

[burnt dagger]

where?

[rugged arch]

-6

[rugged arch]

I hate when people say the exact same thing over and over again when the game in question is of a competitive nature.

[burnt dagger]

seems like probably 5-glove race
if i had an opponent i can defeat in a 5-glove race, im definitely picking them

refreshing is a waste of hard-earned credits

i usually dont use refresh button until the last 2 days

and if u can defeat them back in revenge, just grind each others

[rugged arch]

I refuse to race against a plebian

[burnt dagger]

what

arent they the rich one with better cars?

[rugged arch]

In terms of skills, they are dookie.

[vast marlin]

#💀・cheater-report

Now it's removed

[fossil latch]

i found my alien in the lobby

will ping when gauntlet over

[mossy locust]

Hellooooooo

[snow elk]

best car on ice breakers?

[vast marlin]

Senna

Jkabs does around same

[digital shale]

need i say less?

[spare delta]

Crop more

[burnt dagger]

arash, jesko-absolut, venom f5, senna and cc850

[burnt dagger]

afaik its clearly better there than senna

[terse vault]

Bolide would also do better than Senna

[echo iris]

Isn’t ice breakers sorta top speed focused

[terse vault]

drift focused

[sharp nebula]

mostly float focused

[terse vault]

it has 3 hairpins

[sharp nebula]

arash and jkab are only good because of the drift accel

exceptions for most tracks

[rough burrow]

9x8 ? Can do under 33 I think

[sharp nebula]

even vanda can go sub 33 but the agile bunch still doesn't really touch the high end s class cars

[rough burrow]

Skill issue, need to skill up and earn more ig 😭

[echo iris]

I stand corrected

[outer sphinx]

My best is with venom ie 33.6

4 stars

[outer sphinx]

I have venom and cc850

[warm trench]

hi deathcrest

[drowsy rover]

@vast marlin evo is so broken on leap of faithbro 🥀

[frail leaf]

thats LOF?! damn

[drowsy rover]

and i aint even that good

+no railride

chiron gonna do 17 low/mid without a sweat there

[frail leaf]

u sure? or is the Bug at 5k that fast?

[frail leaf]

I'm too noob for that anyway 😂

[drowsy rover]

that fast

i don't have all the optimal parts too

early-e is most imp andthat is all i have

@frail leaf heavy airo pack instead of lite one, flywheel and any sw based nitro makes the car bonkers

[latent heron]

[frail leaf]

crazy

I have 0 understanding of this new EVO system

[frail leaf]

what race

[latent heron]

Double roundabout

[mild copper]

ion got better cars than this guy for the tracks

[latent heron]

Absolute cinema

[fast meadow]

90 tokens for 2200 gaunlet coins? Reasonable

[lusty zenith]

This mode is so boring. Bring clash back or do something better than this

Everyone uses the same cars so you're basically racing the same cars over and over again...
How is this fun

[elfin ginkgo]

Quick racing, decent rewards

I enjoy it

[terse vault]

not like clash was any different, once you have a strategy you just use the exact same cars on those exact same nodes

[fair pecan]

I would personally go 9x8 over Senna on Ice Breakers

[echo iris]

The nature of metas

[tiny pivot]

WTH happened at the end🤣

UH HUH

I just didn't play for one day，and I dropped to 21st from 7th，but I made it back to 9th

[obsidian timber]

Nah, in clash we would always alternate between which nodes we each defended

[inland lintel]

Just usual upset

[fallen void]

More power gain = more weight = more brick handling

[violet sequoia]

updated my defense 👍

[inland lintel]

Well

[grand nexus]

Gauntlet catfishing is crazy 🥀

[grand nexus]

Nah that's a fortress

💯

[ivory citrus]

Insane timings!
Race 3 is which track?

[violet sequoia]

tunnel sprint, can be .6 - .7

[velvet ore]

dam

[grand nexus]

Bro did the other guy crash 10 times or something 💀

[inland lintel]

Only once

[tiny pivot]

What the HELL?!

[solemn merlin]

[tranquil pecan]

Prolly can 19 with gold or this rank idk

[quartz phoenix]

The Chiron early start works only with 91 accel right

89 accel doesn't fast start

[livid lantern]

It related to a specific evo part, not stat

[tiny pivot]

Lol

[queen remnant]

You need early E Upgrade for that, need to be lucky after spend tokens for that

[raw fractal]

[quartz phoenix]

Oh....I see

[sinful crypt]

My evoed chiron remained stuck at the start of the bridge to bridge defense race: it couldn't move at all!

Anyone else with that issue?

[dire pagoda]

uh how it happend
||ignore time ik its very bad||

[proper kite]

Video + share the setup you're using on the Chiron, it'll help in the report, thanks

[vagrant hull]

play better

[sinful crypt]

Restarting the defense would cost me another ticket. There was a blue circle below the car a bit like it was going in the wrong direction except it was blocked at the start line in the right direction. Here is my chiron Evo setup:

[proper kite]

Same problem with early e-upgrade

Yeah that's reported and they're aware of it, remove that part and you won't have trouble for now

[sinful crypt]

@proper kite No problem with the nitro intake kit?

[vast marlin]

@drowsy rover cro, I can't really find a non whale opponent

Not even in top 25

Should have sandbagged

I can only beat times set with TA, non evo chiron, sometimes pur

Except that I don't even have the cars to go against

[hardy gulch]

how do you even sandbag in gauntlet

I don't know what I did I don't even have good cars

I only have B and A cars, I lose against S cars easily yet this rank???

someone please explain how the matchmaking in gauntlet works

[burnt moss]

your times need improvement especially race 5

and you should switch some cars

[burnt moss]

you face people in your lobby regardless of what you use and what rank your cars have

[fallen void]

Pick D class cars and intentionally drive very slowly

Wait for people to attack your times and press "Revenge" in defense logs

[drowsy rover]

🥀

[summer echo]

Uhh

[timber grove]

i sure as hell don't want to ever go up against you 👀

[thick vale]

what are these td ahh times

22 namba 😢

[summer echo]

[fossil latch]

@burnt dagger

24 for R3 since i hit ceiling

[vast marlin]

No availability of other cars in pvt lobby is a pain in the gluteal muscles

I'm messing up so many races

Lost railroad bustle by just 100 ms (18.6)

My pb was 18.4

Trainspotter too

Pb 23.0 which is still bad, did 23.4

[solemn merlin]

replace huracan with 007s

[vast marlin]

Not needed

That defence is enough in div 4

[fossil latch]

i dont have 007S

i mean i do, but its only 3* from October GP

[solemn merlin]

oh sorry. didn't know abt div 4

[fossil latch]

i doubt so

P1 doing 18.4-5 consistently (just below enough) on tumble with 4.3k Pur

[vast marlin]

Chose victor over 007S SH fs

[fossil latch]

[vast marlin]

Poor choice

But u can manage top 1

Ig

Top 2 is still good

[fossil latch]

I still have the car

[vast marlin]

GP

[fossil latch]

[vast marlin]

I went for some epics

Now missing 1 only

[fossil latch]

T4 gaming with high star TD and gold 007S

[solemn merlin]

u r lvl 38. how u r in div 4 lol

[fossil latch]

my upper end is very lacking unfortunately

[vast marlin]

By not upgrading top 5 ranked cars

Messed up free fall, lost an easy 18.5

Ahh 2/5 win

Could've been 5/5

[fossil latch]

18.5

[solemn merlin]

Btw that defense is enough for top 5 in div 4 ???

[vast marlin]

If I could win on 34.4 ootc

[fossil latch]

yes

This is P1 defense

[vast marlin]

More than enough, sometimes it's not enough at all due to 2-3 aliens or sometimes even worse defence is enough

[vast marlin]

R2?

Since Ultima can do both

[fossil latch]

b2b

[solemn merlin]

me crying with lvl 37 in div 5

[vast marlin]

Dw, u got devel

[solemn merlin]

😭

[vast marlin]

Star it up

I hope they change devel after few months

[fossil latch]

Bro did 26.5 on Urban in previous defense btw

[vast marlin]

So I'll have 3* devel by then

[fossil latch]

so yeah i backed off

[vast marlin]

23.5 on park is too good

[fossil latch]

i seen his background tbh

ACE champ

[vast marlin]

[fossil latch]

he exists on this server

[vast marlin]

19.7 is byroads?

[fossil latch]

yep

[vast marlin]

Oh I might know who this is, I don't remember well

But I knew

I've seen him times

[fossil latch]

u can find a report from him in #💀・cheater-report

[tranquil pecan]

Div 4?

[fossil latch]

yes

[tranquil pecan]

Hmm very nice for that

[solemn merlin]

there are so many whaliens in div 5, there should be div 6 and 7 as well

[fossil latch]

19.7 was pretty surprising for resort tbh

thought i would fumble for 19.8 or .9

[fossil latch]

Div 6 would probably be Class R

[solemn merlin]

that time is really good 👍

[vast marlin]

Yea found em

[fossil latch]

but i threw it on R3

🔥

[vast marlin]

If they made a Div 6 with over 23.5k or so

[fossil latch]

found him being Top 2 in a lego TLE

[vast marlin]

Then div 5 is the most cooked div

I might be wrong

But they should

Arash/Jkabs/gold OC jesko/gold nevera are just impossible to handle

I've none

My BoS cars are rendered useless

No point having them

Against a gemera

[fossil latch]

bug abuse

[vast marlin]

Not to forget evo chiron

[solemn merlin]

me saving tokens for upcoming bos

[vast marlin]

Same

Even if I get gemera, I can at best get top 10 in div 5

Rn top 25

There's dorekise, tax evasion and 3 RpM players, Team pak, 2 ramchargers

Major ones

[fossil latch]

u should join them

[vast marlin]

Dorekise is soloing as a f2p

[fossil latch]

become one with the whales

[vast marlin]

Even p2w players can't beat all his times

26.9 la boca with pur

[dull drum]

@vast marlin same here

[fossil latch]

Pog

[vast marlin]

23.8 evo chiron king's

Tho that's beatable

[dull drum]

Is that ur time i have gone lower myself

[solemn merlin]

I did defence 2 days later and now m in top 15 rookie. rip legend this time

[vast marlin]

28.8 devel roundabout

[fossil latch]

La Boca

[dull drum]

Oh

[fossil latch]

not Water Run

[vast marlin]

Nah, not mine

[dull drum]

Water run

I can

[fossil latch]

26.9 is just eh on Water Run

[dull drum]

And la boca erm 30s

[vast marlin]

17.9 ff with TA (dore)

Future

[fossil latch]

[dull drum]

Future i had a lil luck

[vast marlin]

My best was 18.3

Skill issue

[fossil latch]

aline

[vast marlin]

Bro's lowkey broken

[fossil latch]

Dorekise is GL50+?

[dull drum]

I was doing one this morning and crashed into fan but managed to still get under 24 with invincible

[vast marlin]

29

[fossil latch]

[dull drum]

What lower than me

[vast marlin]

And is top 3 rn, among whaliens

As a f2p

[dull drum]

Im 30

[drowsy rover]

.

[fossil latch]

bro cooking the continent

holy wtf

[vast marlin]

Totally

He's way too broken

[fossil latch]

Bro has 0 mercy

[vast marlin]

That's how much skill we would need there

[dull drum]

We can only do our best

[fossil latch]

show his lineup

[drowsy rover]

evo is just broken beyond belief

destroyes nevera like no tomorrow

[dull drum]

Even i would say that actually div v is a little easier than 4

[fossil latch]

whale spotted

[dull drum]

Im floating in top 200

[drowsy rover]

Rocky valley pre-evo-update pb vs 1st ever run with pb(i don't have the best gear yet)

[dull drum]

And compared to 4 its easier to get the max gauntlets a day

[drowsy rover]

wait

[fossil latch]

23.4 on Ghost Ships

[drowsy rover]

pictures got swapped

[dim kite]

how consistent is the shortcut on ghost ships

[dull drum]

Whats the short cut

[fossil latch]

u need to be extremely precise

[dim kite]

ig with huracan you don't have to 360

[vast marlin]

Consistency depends on u, u can hit the shortcut 100% of the times

[fossil latch]

hard left as u exit the 2nd ship

[vast marlin]

If u know

[fossil latch]

nah but 23.4...

[dull drum]

I have to admit theres tracks i really struggle with

[fossil latch]

bro doing S class times with B

[drowsy rover]

@vast marlin i want a suggestion

[dull drum]

And one is thay

Ghost ships

[drowsy rover]

save for jesko or owl ebics?

[fossil latch]

Owl for gauntlet

Jesko for MP1

[drowsy rover]

jesko is good in gauntlet too

owl is kinda meh

idk if it is with epics or not

but now, it is

[vast marlin]

Jesko ig

[vast marlin]

If 13 epics is useless then it'd do no good

[vast marlin]

I did a 23.7 once with shortcut but ye, still far

[drowsy rover]

i don't know how it would do with it tho

i want both

i can't grind

too hard to choose

[fossil latch]

atp just pack it up 🥀

[vast marlin]

[drowsy rover]

i made enough epics to gold but never did so to save creds

[fossil latch]

the man above u will start to rage

[dull drum]

@drowsy rover i got lucky

[drowsy rover]

ig i should try out owl

[drowsy rover]

with?

@vast marlin 4414 right

[vast marlin]

[dull drum]

Ultimate pass lead me to gaining enough credits after time attack hurCan and invincible went gold to gold the sc out

[vast marlin]

My huracan't gold yet

5/8

[fossil latch]

i spent 120M over the course of 14 days. tell me more

[vague bronze]

mystic_shadow01 has been warned

Reason: Spam

[fossil latch]

[drowsy rover]

ouch

[vast marlin]

Yea 4414 would be optimal

[dull drum]

So that 20 million

[vast marlin]

Handling is crap anyways

[dull drum]

I spent on golding ta

[vast marlin]

But if possible give it to handling too

I'd go 3424

[drowsy rover]

Wait F

i did 4423

[vast marlin]

Eh

Needs nitro

[drowsy rover]

🥀

[vast marlin]

And accel gold

[dull drum]

Maxing pursport and upping it with the 5 epics golding huracan and invincible

[vast marlin]

Owl feels already lacking due to accel delay

[drowsy rover]

i clicked on those epics with my eyes closed ig

🥀

[vast marlin]

Does like 87.8-9 for first 1-1.2s

Accel

Slightly behind invencible

Then does 89

[drowsy rover]

hmm

4423 🥀

[vast marlin]

It's SW accel is not as strong as TA either

Good enough ig

[dull drum]

Whoa

[drowsy rover]

i am so damn blind bro

🥀

[vast marlin]

TS looks good after giving epics

[dull drum]

Shame

For me

[vast marlin]

Mine's 408 TS rn

Very lacking

[dull drum]

Never got the owl

[dull drum]

Whoa a standard nevera too

[vast marlin]

I want nevera to get featured again

[drowsy rover]

in mp packs

[vast marlin]

I can half gold it

Have 6 epics

[dull drum]

@vast marlin did u unlock ot

[vast marlin]

Yea that's why, it'd be good featuring it

[vast marlin]

No

[drowsy rover]

oh i forgor to ask another thing

[dull drum]

I only got 2*

[vast marlin]

Mine too

Would be 3.5* by the mp end if it drops good

[drowsy rover]

i have 20k tokens
max jesko this season
or make like 35-40k in next season and max mosler from scratch?

[dull drum]

one thing id like gameloft to do is offer more bps for the support cars like one away back with noble and a class stradale

[drowsy rover]

i would try mosler once, but every guy i hear says that it is a f5 clone

[vast marlin]

Max Mosler is like max venom except the crazy drift

Faster venom

[dull drum]

How have people got it i thought its not available till next season

[vast marlin]

Also, its floaty wiggles like N74

And sometimes breaks the float

[burnt moss]

they didn’t

[drowsy rover]

i forgot the guy who did test drives

[burnt moss]

free try for ccs

[vast marlin]

I saw hyper trying it

[burnt moss]

for test drive

[vast marlin]

Sometimes it breaks the float like with other floaty cars

Not stable like venom's

Looks grounded like xjr

Covered up

[dull drum]

Oh so its going to be dreadful to drive

[drowsy rover]

i saw big71 rn

58.7xx

pudong

[vast marlin]

[drowsy rover]

seems so tbh

autofloat faster than punch

[vast marlin]

Yea

[drowsy rover]

though floaty is still fastest

[vast marlin]

Just do a quick turn and it autofloats

[dull drum]

N74?

[drowsy rover]

yes

[vast marlin]

Yes too

[drowsy rover]

seems same for mosler

[dull drum]

What is it?

[drowsy rover]

even devel does that

but at higher stars

[vast marlin]

These cars need just one punch, continuously doing so breaks the floaty

Sometimes

[drowsy rover]

i always do 1 punch

no matter what

[vast marlin]

These high floaty cars don't need continuous punch

Devel doesn't even need one

Just drift and turn

Pure autofloat

[dull drum]

Whats the best to get the most out of venom

[vast marlin]

Same for LVN

One of the best autofloats

[drowsy rover]

learn punches and nitro management

for f5

[vast marlin]

Very fun car

I hope LVN comes in next BoS

[drowsy rover]

i really like lvn ngl

[vast marlin]

Though it'd be copium

[dull drum]

Id like any high s

[vast marlin]

420+ float at 2*

[dull drum]

Ive only got venom

[vast marlin]

Already very good

300+ floats good too, but not close to LVN anyways

[drowsy rover]

nice

[drowsy rover]

get devel

and you are good to go

[dull drum]

Way off

[vast marlin]

You're in div 5

[dull drum]

20k

[vast marlin]

Get devel

Oo

[dull drum]

Thats the aim

[drowsy rover]

you will get it done if only 20k left

[vast marlin]

I'm trying to 2* it

9/40

Rn

[dull drum]

To earn enough for devel

[drowsy rover]

or quite a while if you whale 20k

idk which one is the case

btw

[vast marlin]

27k from dailies itself

[drowsy rover]

how's div 5 for you

[dull drum]

Me

[vast marlin]

I got only 8 gauntlets today

[drowsy rover]

both of you

[vast marlin]

Out of 22

[dull drum]

Im doing ok on div 5

[vast marlin]

Impossible to get more

[dull drum]

23/22

[drowsy rover]

use 40 and get to 10

[drowsy rover]

nice

[dull drum]

Im doing a d class sandbagging

[drowsy rover]

hmm

[dull drum]

So hover 150-300

My garage isnt strong enough

[drowsy rover]

no worries

it will be

in the future

[vast marlin]

Yea planning to do so

Pos 22 rn

[dull drum]

Top 5
Gold ta
Max pur sport
Max chiron
Venom
Sc18 gold

[drowsy rover]

here i am getting farmed by every guy in existance

[vast marlin]

Can't play on Thursday

So top 50 ig

[drowsy rover]

good enough, just keep 25 safe

[drowsy rover]

🥀

[vast marlin]

I don't even have nevera

[dull drum]

I get thrashed but being d class defenses but so many others are doing the same so its working

[drowsy rover]

i got myself into an alien lobby, every guy in existance is farming me

[drowsy rover]

where TA

[drowsy rover]

nice

[dull drum]

@vast marlin dont u have tim attack nevera

[drowsy rover]

he does

he was referring to og nevera

[dull drum]

Thats my go to

I dont have og nevera

[drowsy rover]

but he just said nevera but it covers all the cars

i got from BOS

[dull drum]

But my time attack nevera does me so much

[drowsy rover]

i am f2p to SEs and BOS are my go to

Along with SH these days

[dull drum]

I mix

Sometimes use bundles ect to help squeeze lil more out of hunts

Like lighting

[drowsy rover]

hmm

[dull drum]

I don’t have the most supports so i try to maximise what i can out of something

Sh i grind so much its pays off

[drowsy rover]

nice

SH is good for everyone tbh

[dull drum]

Hence the sc18

From 10/28 to gold

[drowsy rover]

🐳

[dull drum]

Time attack i was on two star and got the epics to gold

Only the credits took loads to make

[vast marlin]

OG nevera just does better in every track

[dull drum]

Time attacks my go to

[vast marlin]

Saw a flat 24 on twister

[dull drum]

I even did a fast time on rivene launch

[vast marlin]

Did 24.4 with TA

[dull drum]

24.8

[dull drum]

Whoa im struggling to get the faster times

[drowsy rover]

NO

and like 2 more or smth

i forgor

[vast marlin]

Park?

[drowsy rover]

railroad

[dull drum]

Yeah run in the park

What can u do in railroad with nevera

[drowsy rover]

don't ask me bro

Flat 19

[drowsy rover]

better than the time i do with pur

[dull drum]

Huracan 19.4

[vast marlin]

Bruh, TA obv does better

Than pur

I never tried pur there

[dull drum]

Its getting more use to the car

[vast marlin]

My Huayra r is 1* rank

[drowsy rover]

i used gtr

spamming low league cars

[vast marlin]

I used 570S and BC

[fossil latch]

mine maxed w/o epics

[vast marlin]

570S is goated

[drowsy rover]

yep

[vast marlin]

393 kmh

[drowsy rover]

plat 4 will be sc18 spam

i am sure

[vast marlin]

Yea I saw em already

None of them won

[drowsy rover]

time to still spam gtr

then gt3rs

[vast marlin]

Against my bc

[drowsy rover]

bc is just a big worse

than sc18

[vast marlin]

That 82 accel is of now use with those stats lol

[drowsy rover]

• you aline

[fossil latch]

Order for BC epics?

[vast marlin]

bc is better cro

[vast marlin]

4/4/4/4

[fossil latch]

very unfunny

[vast marlin]

Go for accel>TS

Then handling

Then nitro

[hardy gulch]

yeah but what determines my lobby I always see people complain about "oh I should've stayed in division 1" stuff like H O W

also those ARE my best cars I can't switch any of them

[fossil latch]

ok (burnt 1.68M)

[vast marlin]

80 accel saves it smw

Otherwise too weak

[drowsy rover]

f1lm is the go-to ig

[vast marlin]

F1LM dominates the lobby

Works very well

If in skilled hands

[drowsy rover]

the lobby in question:

[drowsy rover]

now valid

[vast marlin]

[fossil latch]

#🎖・multiplayer

stop alining here

[drowsy rover]

why

both literal and metaphorical train wreck

[fossil latch]

[drowsy rover]

i surpassed you in that tunnel section

but i did a punch

[fossil latch]

u aline

[drowsy rover]

went too wide

and 🥀

[drowsy rover]

gtr has punch+good accel

[kindred tundra]

I really don’t like when I do the gauntlet the game crashes

[umbral flare]

only just today because i havent played for 4 days

ive lost interest in this gamemode fast

i do not like competition, its so demoralizing even though im winning every race

requires too much damn thinking before i pick an opponent and then strategizing afterwards

maybe i can get top 100 by tomorrow

[old brook]

I love div 5

😃

[echo iris]

[vast marlin]

No total Black and white combo? Noob

Which is still far better than mine

[halcyon plank]

finally

[burnt moss]

your division is based on the sum of the 5 highest ranked cars in your garage (this is important to remember, it is based on garage, NOT what you select during qualification), you can go to garage, filter your cars by rank, sum up the ranks of top 5 ranked cars and then check pinned message here to see what division you’ll be in
once you advance to a higher division, you cannot go back
for lobby, it is based on your division, each lobby 500 people and usually you get paired with people who signed up for gauntlet around the same time as you

another thing to keep in mind is you can’t change your division (by that I mean going higher) as soon as gauntlet starts so if you wanna upgrade or oc, do it before it starts
if gauntlet has started, you have to wait till next gauntlet for your division to change (oc that has expired before next gauntlet doesn’t count)

[little pilot]

Help

[visual imp]

👽

[drowsy rover]

chiron is basically a necessity

[vast marlin]

Every high end has become a necessity

In div 5

[drowsy rover]

it aint about that

it is about the sheer power chiron has with evo

[visual imp]

can i have 20% of it pretty pleaseeeee

[drowsy rover]

it is wayyyyy better than before

[spring osprey]

92 accel

[drowsy rover]

doesn't asctually give 92 though

but still sets godly times for some reason

no way to fact check unless pl is fixed

[spring osprey]

Now this is an great reason to NOT go to div 5

[vast marlin]

Yea, with the hotfix, 92 or even 89 accel would kill any similar car competition like a bomb wipes out anything in sight

Like Nevera, TA, Owl and else

[drowsy rover]

but that will come at a cost

no more this

🥀

[vast marlin]

Right

[drowsy rover]

chiron still aint that good in base drift

but it only matters in mp

gauntlet aint about handling

[vast marlin]

Yea

[drowsy rover]

when it is, 9x8 like cars are better

[vast marlin]

Gauntlet maps like king's, rockey, ghost ships and many more

It'll destroy laps

[drowsy rover]

leap of faith

rotf

[vast marlin]

Trainspotter

[drowsy rover]

yep

[vast marlin]

Twister

Many to say

[drowsy rover]

i never got a chance for those last two

wait 1 more

[vast marlin]

Switch to heavy tuning, giving air acc, extra air speed and heavy accel boost, and you're good to go

[drowsy rover]

that straight beunos aires one

water run

[vast marlin]

Yea

But heavy tune won't work there

Cars become total boat

With so much weight

[drowsy rover]

heavy will work too

but you need very good skills

in the end corners

[vast marlin]

Idk about chiron but enzo and camaro refuse to move at all

With heavy tuning

[drowsy rover]

yep

idk about enzo, but cam yes

[vast marlin]

Maybe chiron's radius is what saves it

If so, then heavy tune it

[drowsy rover]

a normal guy aint getting those turns right with heavy leave overload

[vast marlin]

Worth it

[drowsy rover]

i had a run with water run

destroyed nevera

as usual

pb vs 1st run

btw

this evo gonna make the whale f2p gap even bigger

evo with kings

🥀

[vast marlin]

Yea

[drowsy rover]

f2p will get deep fried

[vast marlin]

This evo thing is beneficial for p2w too

Chiron becomes a high end car for them

[drowsy rover]

i know they will give bundles

with those gamble tickets

[vast marlin]

They need another sub div above 23.5k

[drowsy rover]

i would probably still be cooked lmao

[vast marlin]

Play gp, u get 1 evo ticket for chiron

[drowsy rover]

fr?

ty

[vast marlin]

Yea

I saw that and I'm willing to play now

[drowsy rover]

I will do it after qualifier comes

i want easy qualifier

was on break during 1st gp

need key

[vast marlin]

Oh then u def need to play

I'll go like t2 or even t1, so better chance at retaining posn for evo ticket

[drowsy rover]

ic

gl

🥀

[drowsy rover]

told ya i will be cooked nevertheless

[echo iris]

whaaa

where

[drowsy rover]

end gp rewards

iirc

[echo iris]

oh in rewards

[vast marlin]

For key posn in decal section

[echo iris]

I'm not gonna sandbag this time then

[serene ingot]

Guys with imperium, tartar, czinger can cook most of them

[drowsy rover]

though i don't loose gp, i still would lock in

[drowsy rover]

not most, all

[vast marlin]

1 Eco Tickets <BR> Chiron

[drowsy rover]

can't miss key like guila

missed both gps, didn't get key by SL

[vast marlin]

Guilia: the lil heavy stone which refuses to move

[serene ingot]

5305 evo Chiron with the right tuning can beat czinger

[drowsy rover]

overload camaro: let me introduce myself

[vast marlin]

[serene ingot]

Even tartarus

[drowsy rover]

no

that it too much

it aint gonna happen

[vast marlin]

Gezira 23.4 TA: can max chiron beat it

[drowsy rover]

most broken setup imo

[drowsy rover]

[drowsy rover]

do u have ebics?

[vast marlin]

No pvt lobby is making me noober

[drowsy rover]

i never used it anyways

[vast marlin]

No credits

[drowsy rover]

though now i wanna try it out

for testing the power of chiron

[vast marlin]

Yea, I never needed it in div 4 lol

[drowsy rover]

my grg got a buff with these recent SE's and sh

[vast marlin]

SH

Sc18

[drowsy rover]

otherwise i was spamming 007s, chiron, non gold nevera, speedtail, and rs or pur

[drowsy rover]

TA

[vast marlin]

And still getting top 10

[drowsy rover]

pur is recent too

tbh

i will try owl with epics tmr now

[vast marlin]

My acc is almost 15-16 months and I don't have these essential gold max cars

[drowsy rover]

see how it goes with that damn misplaced epic 🥀

[drowsy rover]

mine is so old that i don't remember

been a casual player since day 1

i didn't use to save tokens too

[vast marlin]

Same

[drowsy rover]

nevera was my 1st BOS whaling

[vast marlin]

I started saving for BoS only

[drowsy rover]

wait

i forgor to play mp2

[vast marlin]

2 days

[drowsy rover]

1.5k ss

[vast marlin]

Spam ur fav cars

Ez

[serene ingot]

I am using this same setup for gauntlet

[drowsy rover]

fun

[drowsy rover]

🐳

[drowsy rover]

fun

[vast marlin]

I beat all ez ones, how the heck I fumbled on 1st

I usually do 24.366-399 on meiji

With owl

[drowsy rover]

nice pic

[drowsy rover]

23?!?

[vast marlin]

24

Mb

[drowsy rover]

ah

now it makes more sense

[vast marlin]

This was my 40 tokens for 1200 gokens

Could have gone 20th posn

If all 5 races won

[drowsy rover]

the guy who got pos 1 with attacking with his eye closed now has to spend tokens for 1.2k gokens

[vast marlin]

22nd rn

[drowsy rover]

the difference in div 4 and 5 is real 🥀

Not trolling or anything

but the gap in difficulty is huge

[vast marlin]

True, even when ruling div 4, I always said that top 1 in div 4 has a massive difference than top 25 in div 5

Whoever asked

Whenever

Top 1 in div 4 would have a hard time in div 5

Except some

[drowsy rover]

true

all divisions below 5 are generally for skill

here you need both

or 1 would work too, but that 1 side has to be damn strong

[vast marlin]

Yea

Like driver 7473 or dore

Quan

Carried by skill, which also earned them better cars

And they have both now

Actually skilled ones

[serene ingot]

He has mostly f2p cars, but really good skills

[vast marlin]

Yea, that's what I meant

He's f2p, despite

He's such a good contender

[serene ingot]

I faced him in mp sometimes, a tough cookie to beat. 50/50

[drowsy rover]

quan is a whale f2p

[vast marlin]

Yea, a player who don't know quan would think he's a whale

Seeing his car no. and skill

But to their mistake

[drowsy rover]

bro casually won imperium as f2p

🥀

[vast marlin]

Yea

Is raidee full p2w?

Or casual

[drowsy rover]

btw, i never got a chance to race

[vast marlin]

Me neither, I don't even have nevera

[drowsy rover]

he is aline and that is all i know

[vast marlin]

To compete

[vast marlin]

Yea me too

He's occupied with aline skills

[drowsy rover]

mosler is really nice, but for a casual like me
i prefer jesko as you can drive it with your brain on sleep mode

deciding is so hard

[serene ingot]

I don't have many meta cars, but I have good skills (not as good as well known aliens, but can give tough time against them) so that's enough for me to survive in division 5 (top 25 casually)

[tall citrus]

imperium is brutal at gauntlet. Feels like it is ate least 1s faster than the Jesko absolut maps:

[vast marlin]

I'm in top 25 rn casually but I doubt so coz I can't play on last day

So top 50 ig

Dailies give a good amt of gokens

[drowsy rover]

i am just meh 🥀

[vast marlin]

Nah, heavy on camaro didn't work

[serene ingot]

Actually good skill is quite important to even surviving division 5 gauntlet.
"Surviving", I mean not struggling

[vast marlin]

Did worse

[serene ingot]

My most important thing is to survive, not to aim for top rewards

[vast marlin]

Yea, top 10 with master is far enough

Top 25 is sufficient for me too

But I'm not even elite rn

Poor

[tranquil pecan]

If u don’t have cars then best outcome might come by not sandbagging but staying really low on lb with your actual defence

Last 2 days 10/10 tickets attack and it’s less likely that people farm u cuz last day less people are risking on players with unknown times

[vast marlin]

I did the same

But then thought should I have sandbagged?

Idk

[tranquil pecan]

Sandbagging throws u way lower than not getting attacked and staying low

Last 2 days u aren’t that low so u can recover with full fledged attacks

[vast marlin]

So I gotta farm+3 gauntlet players if I can't go against+5

Or say whales

[drowsy rover]

@vast marlin i will give you a better soln

[tranquil pecan]

But still need skills cuz u won’t know your opponents times either

[drowsy rover]

let this gauntlet go as it is

after this one, join gauntlet with me at same time

and post defence at same time

i will send you all defence times if needed

farmables

ones to avoid, everything

[vast marlin]

Would be good

I honestly forgot this thing

I thought of it back when I was in div 5

Pre cap increase

[drowsy rover]

hmm

i always play risky

to attacking random whales/players aint a new thing

being a casual player i don't mind loosing too

i can help this way

and i hope it benefits you

[vast marlin]

I intentionally played against a losing challenge today

Knowing I'll lose

Smh won 2/5

Could have won another if I had the car

[vast marlin]

Tnx vm

[sharp nebula]

I've spent like 20$ on the game in total

[vast marlin]

So, a fish

That's an amt I'm willing to pay if I ever do

[steady valve]

@sharp nebula You should stop attacking me and don't drop me too much.

[serene ingot]

Sandbagging is actually a smart strategy. They farm you, when you are not going all out. When you go all out (usually 2 days before ending), they hesitate to farm you because time is running out.

[steady valve]

I want to finish in Master league.

[drowsy rover]

🥀

[drowsy rover]

🥀 🥀

[vast marlin]

[burnt dagger]

damn trainspotter?

[vast marlin]

He hit the ceiling

Like I did

[tranquil pecan]

They would know your times tho after u improve , cuz they can easily see in opponent info

[sharp nebula]

too broke on credits to skip the free points unfortunately

it's gauntlet, attacks happen

[tranquil pecan]

If they are not good then u get farmed again

[steady valve]

I'm thinking to sandbag in the next gauntlet.

[serene ingot]

I usually improve my time in the very last day

[steady valve]

But the problem is I may lose daily GCs from gauntlet milestones.

[vast marlin]

I revamped my def yesterday coz first def was messed up 3/5 races and I'm winning more defences comparatively now

I'm surprised I'm even winning defences

[tranquil pecan]

Quite risky since u won’t get that ideal defence

[serene ingot]

Sandbagging purpose is to farm daily gc, but sacrifice the ability to go higher

[vast marlin]

True

[steady valve]

After sandbagging, what's next in the last days? Improve time?

[vast marlin]

Yes

Last 2 days

[steady valve]

Got it.

Sandbagging by setting defense time with weak cars?

[vast marlin]

Yea

[serene ingot]

When sandbagging, you can revenge against players who attacked you to farm gauntlet points. Usually when doing this strategy, you will be pushed quite far back, so you will face weaker players.

[vast marlin]

Or bad times

Yea you'll lose points never seen like before

If u never sandbagged

Whopping 40-50 pts

[daring summit]

If your defense is strong, you can actually climb up to 1k3 GP in the last 2 days

And even placed top 50 in most lobbies

[vast marlin]

My defence stands good against top 50 but weak against top 20 players

[steady valve]

The strategy like if weaker players beat sandbaggers?

[sharp nebula]

I didn't have trouble sandbagging and then still ending at around 1450 top 25 before, just make the defense with 3 bad cars and 2 good ones to not lose too much rating

that is if you trust yourself in attack

[vast marlin]

Yea, I did that once back before div 5 cap increase

Never did again

Ig I'll do it next gauntlet

I'll end up in elite so far

[serene ingot]

You let weak players beat you, then you take revenge on them

[steady valve]

Sandbagging doesn't guarantee you finish in Master.

[sharp nebula]

true

all about skill in the end

sandbagging just guarantees daily rewards without spending tokens on extra tickets

[surreal lava]

That's funny. Thought I'd have a field day moving up the rankings by the last few days....but I'm already on Pro in Div 3 by doing nothing. I started 4 months ago, just to get an idea of my current progress.

[steady valve]

I have set my average strong defenses at early day of gauntlet.

[vast marlin]

Same

Ig my normal way won't work in div 5 without a big garage

Or alien skill

[serene ingot]

This strategy best applied in division 5, where the competition is basically survival of the fittest

[steady valve]

I don't even have powerful cars like Absolut, Tartarus, and Imperium.

[sharp nebula]

your garage isn't bad

definitely solid enough for top 10

[steady valve]

But I have Nevera, Nevera TA, and Owl gold maxed.

And Evo tuned Chiron.

[sharp nebula]

also battista

[vast marlin]

Can max non gold owl work out in top 25 div 5

[sharp nebula]

really all you need

[vast marlin]

That's what I'll be having after sometime

[serene ingot]

What I lack is a stradale/battista to conquer short twisty maps that requires good nitro and recovery

[steady valve]

My 9x8, Vanda, 007S, and Battista are golden.

[vast marlin]

I need battista tbh

Very good on tracks like bustle

[echo iris]

I think it's worse than gold TA

[steady valve]

9x8 good at Namba.

[vast marlin]

Yea it's worse

[serene ingot]

Yes, it's like a second ta at your disposal

[steady valve]

Tuatara is kinda useful for Out of the Center and Bridge to Bridge.

[surreal lava]

I'll remember that when I eventually reach it.

[steady valve]

CC850 is my alternate Tuatara at my disposal.

[sharp nebula]

my garage is basically TA, pur, cc850, 5* f5 and now 1* imperium and I'm currently at top 3

really don't need much for the higher places but need to be consistent with times

[vast marlin]

Poor situation

[sharp nebula]

@light breach 👽

[steady valve]

My F5 is 5* not fully upgraded.

[serene ingot]

I have 5* deus, should I upgrade that thing to that level?

[steady valve]

Deus can be useful also.

[vast marlin]

Yes

Definitely good

85 accel

[sharp nebula]

5* f5 helps on a few tracks but I've found cc850 to be better overall

[vast marlin]

40 nitro

[steady valve]

I'll definitely get the Deus when Jesko SE comes.

[vast marlin]

Me too, I'll get it to 5*

Have key

From some donation

[steady valve]

I'll go for the max.

[vast marlin]

I don't have enough tokens

Otherwise I'd like to

[sharp nebula]

max jesko should be nice for gauntlet

rocketing at least

[steady valve]

Deus may be my alternate Chiron at my disposal if I unlock and upgrade it to max.

[vast marlin]

Yea, but all I see on rttf are tartarus, even arash imperium, OC gold jesko, saw a venom too

[serene ingot]

Shanghai tracks are good for maxed Jesko

[steady valve]

Setting good time on RTTF is RNG based.

[vast marlin]

Pote is a great track

[sharp nebula]

true

[serene ingot]

Evo chiron is also good there

[sharp nebula]

though shame max imperium absolutely demolishes everything else

and its not even close there

[steady valve]

Sometimes the physic glitches occur at ramp before the river bank which is frustrating.

[vast marlin]

I'm yet to max my chiron handling max/max/stage 10/max

Gold except handling

[vast marlin]

Yea, just slows down and lifts the car

[steady valve]

The car also needs to be overspun.

[vast marlin]

U need that perfect trajectory through the ramps to landing on ground and taking air time at that turn

[steady valve]

Sometimes the car stops 360ing, that causes lose few seconds.

[vast marlin]

Then SW at barrel

I've done 27.9 with ultima, haven't tried better cars after that

(which is still a bad time lol)

[serene ingot]

I did 27.4 with non-evo chiron

[vast marlin]

Heavy tuning chiron there would be best ig

[steady valve]

Haven't you tried CC850 on RTTF?
