Dodge High Speed Challenge Daily

[Bored Peon]

I really do not like this daily.

The gold requirements are tough, and they somewhat should be. However I think that gold time window needs to be opened a crack.

The daily should not require a gold medal requirement, that is just unfair. It should require a silver instead. Not everyone has a high level roller skill which is required for a gold. I have my black charger and golds in all the other trials. I just do not see why it should require a gold medal.

I lost counts of how many abandoned attempts. Simply because with a four minute race and such a tight window for gold if you screw up in any way you may as well abandon it. Nevermind some areas like hilltops if you screw up you are forced to abandon out of the simple fact you can not get back up to the rings.

Plus you also have the problem of with such a long race there is multiple places where emergency events take place and block the road. If you have to drive around any of them or even slow down you will not meet that gold requirement.

My best time was 3:46 or 3:41 or so, which is silver. Yet the top scores were 3:31 yesterday and 3:27 today. That tells me the top players are barely beating the gold time requirement.

Now the other thing to think about is what if daily co-op map contracts had a finish in first place for damage requirement? If the players did not finish in first place or second then they do not get credit. We obviously know such a practice would cause outrage, so why use that same practice for a time trial daily?

The other problem is if the player is unable to complete it they get stuck with it again the next day. Why should people get punished and their daily taken away because they can not meet the gold requirement?

I would like to see that gold time window opened a bit. However I would settle for the daily requiring a silver medal.

U can get gold with lvl1 in rollers, thats why every gate has boost refill. Also 3:41 is gold, not silver so u lie there.

You only need 3min 45sec to get gold. And I did it with lvl 4 roller. Its tough but can be done. Best things I can say is learn to drift with constant boost

just dont stop boosting and its easy.

Lets look at the bugs with this (and all it seems) races now.

The counter starts before the countdown, so up to 10 seconds or more is added to the end of your time.
When restarting a race, you don't start in the vehicle most of the time.
And now, once the race starts (after a restart) the gates don't appear for another 10-20 seconds.

May be corrected with a restart? Who knows....

I'll agree with OP...this one sucked...I have all my golds but this one was a true pain to me. TWO spots that would spawn roadblocks (sometimes not visible until it was too late to try and avoid), running into invisible things, random bouncing of car into tree, and then the great 'add 2-3 seconds to time' issue giving me final time of 3:46 a few times made me want to break the controller.

Really? I said 3:46 or 3:41, so you call me a liar? Obviously if I listed two times I was not sure which.

Nevermind anyone who knows anything about time trials knows it sometimes adds to your finish time. So if I finished with a 3:41 and it added 5 seconds obviously I did not reach gold.

Maybe someone ought to teach you some manners.

I just can't do it. My best time is 3:48. I never let off the thrust an didn't touch anything. There is a 3:25 up there right now, 23 sec faster than my best. I suck.

I know how to get golds in all the others. I know to hold the boost down. However it is other factors that always screw me missing the gold. One overcorrection of a turn, server lag adding time, events spawning in the road, boost not working when I push the button due to server lag, etc.

Believe me, I know it can be done. Like I said I was not asking to make it "easy." I just think gold should have about a 5-10 second bigger window.

I like the fact it is a real challenge to get that gold. However I do not feel gold belongs as a requirement for a daily.

I spent two days trying. I received about a dozen silver medals. I think that much effort in trying to do a daily deserves the daily reward.

However since I am unable to get that gold medal I keep getting punished by having that daily stuck there.

Now that I think about it, time trials should not belong as a daily in the first place, unless it is complete it X times (meaning any medal.)

This one kind of annoys me as well, I am in same boat, but level 14 in roller. My best time was 3:46, but I would have beat it if I didn't hit one of the tiny tires in the ground right before the finish which apparently makes the roller jump 20ft high in place, so I kind of slowly fell onto the finish gate, hit the gate at 3:45, but lag made it 3:46. Since then I always seem to hit something or miss a gate by a hair and have to go back (always near the last few gates) I have no idea how these people are getting 3:27's same as many of the top times in all the other time trials.
