Quick question for everyone who has responded to this thread:

Is it that you haven't noticed or don't care that this was a necropost from almost 2 years ago?

Usually, everyone pounces on necrothreads quite quickly. Tbis started on 04/14/13 with the last old post on 11/14/13 and it was necroed by a recent forum member with only one post amd it was to essentially b**** about the time trials. Then there were 11 posts to this necro after it was immediately called out as one. At least Tura acknowledged it was one but then you responded again.

Just curious. No offense intended to anyone who posted. I just wanted to know if this is the new norm or not. If so, Ill go find something interesting to necro.

But I doubt that I'll be able to top that free Beta code one.

Et tu Konstantinov?

Well after the one person with only one post necroed it and responded, other people responded and then ANOTHER person with only one post complained. And then more people responded. And so I was responding to them. While its an old thread and it was necroed just so someone could pitch a fit, it is still a debatable issue how the time trials function and if these time trials should be part of a pursuit package.

Even though I have finished them, they are the worst part of the game, and should be removed or just made stupid easy. Your ego does not impact mine or my enjoyment of the game. These persuits are a rip-off of some of the stupidest game mechanics to ever exist, and due to lag, are more frustrating.

This, imo, puts the time trials behind superman, and just ahead of ET as worst **** ever in the recorded history of videogames.

Necro or not, the issue is real and it still exist.

Now, this is a solution I like to see on Devs do to list. Personally, I believe this is more impotent then the new weapon system they try to deploy.

Sure you could. Go to the general discussions and click last page. Here I'll make it easy and give you the link to the second earliest thread listed there, for you to necro, since the earliest is locked! lol

know how you feel. Just stopped playing defiance because those racing are soooooo annoying and impossible for me to get silver. And for some of the pursuits you need to get gold!!!! HOW?? All my vehickles except cerberus are maxed out. Those racing just ruined fun );

[stefb42]

For gold what I did is

Boost all the time, this will help find the places where boosting is a bad idea

Never restart an event, always finish it, its good practice and its surprising how much better you can do with the pressure off

Let go of accelerator when in tight corners, you turn quicker when not accelerating

Tap the thumbstick going into corners rather than full lock straight away

Use pillars of light to line the next hoop up when you cant see it, jumping clear over a ring counts as going through

Turn the runner in the air so its pointing the direction you want to continue in, even if it brings you to a stop

If you're going to shoot past a ring, bail from vehicle and spawn another quick

There is plenty time for mistakes, especially in the long ones so don't give up because you got stuck or had to reverse

Boost all the time,by now you should know where not to boost so boost everywhere that's practical

Rings not appearing or game adding time to your time, log all the way out and back in again

That is a great tip! I never thought of that when I was trying for gold. Thanks for sharing

Not a bad one but maybe when 2015's E3 is at hand.

I did a brief look around and found one that could possibly work. But it does have a reference to a minor Defiance character that is no longer with us. I wish I could have met them.

I know that the TTs suck. I've done a few and failed miserably so I'm saving them for later. I'm having too much fun shooting things in the face right now. Besides, Defiance is a shooter and not Gran Turismo afterall.

However, my point was usually everyone tells the necromancer to post a new thread instead. I guess it must be a case of post-holiday ennui.

C'est la vie and It is what it is. I just found it interesting that's all.

I guess I'll sequester myself to Cronkhite bunker for awhile. Oh, wait...
