hmm, maybe that explains it, but i was getting times that were way off earlier, finishing at 40-42, and it said 50-53 everytime. starting to piss me off, i just want to check that off my sheet and never look at the time trials again.

I was going to say, I was in the ZONE earlier, had a flawless run, even making use of power sliding to stay on boost and still hit the rings.
Finished the map with the gold, 15 seconds slower than the top score. I sat there scratching my head. Ok perhaps 1-5 seconds off, but 10? 15? I tried it a few more times and was in the same ball park as my first run, granted not everything clicked as prefect as the first run.
I cant see how an extra 9 levels in runner can amount to such a large time difference.
They really need to just reset the top scores once a week and award a special price and title for people who stay on the top at the end. That's a much better way to do these things, and you wont have cheaters claiming top score forever.
Theres some guy with lllllIIIIl as his name or whatever, dude must have cheated on every damn challenge.
Holding down the boost all the time isn't a good idea. Sometimes you get alot more boost out of it if you let go of the key while in the air and press it just as you land.

ah yes, my mistakeOriginally Posted by Nomad_Phoenix
since the only effect of having "top score" is your name in a random scoreboard inside the game, and doesn't effect anything else in any way, i can't bring myself to care much about the cheating aspect of it (besides, i get plenty of enjoyment watching the tears of butthurt rage from people who's self esteem seems somehow tied to said random scoreboard when they come to the forums), i just wish i didn't have to deal with server lag to get silver and tick it off my achievements.
But if you work hard for a top score then yes it should be displayed as a top score. The same with achievements. There is a lot pf pride knowing you worked hard for something and then seeing your name displayed in the top three. Its part of the enjoyment from playing this game.
And yes there are a lot of great flawless runs done but most 1st place scores are just crazy. They def cheated to obtain these scores,. And the best part is they will actually have the nerve to brag. Its really pathetic.
My runner is level 14 and I have done flawless runs and still only got silver because of the few seconds added at the end. Other than that I would have had gold but NOWHERE NEAR the top spots.
Also, I see people taking about holding down the boost the entire way but there are several places where you just cant do that or you will overshoot the checkpoints. The runner handles like crap.
And last but certainly not least, There is a question that I think should be asked but I don't think anyone has asked before. "Is there supposed to be a boost refill at every checkpoint arch?" I ask this because during a lot of my races there is only a boost refill at about 30% of them. Is this another glitch? Or is this normal? Thanks guys.
Do your runner levels apply to the time trials? I was under the impression they didn't. If that's the case then leveling the runners specifically for the time trials is something that should be done.
Oh, runner skill levels definitely apply.
