Rev and Ride Event 8th October 2020

First topic message reminder :

Update From Becky & Teddy on FB:

What we also believe is it will have the automatic refresh for fuel or tickets to play the game, up to 25 max and we can store extra is we win them from house of luck or daily balloons.

You can delay but don’t delay too long to ensure you have enough time to finish your personal rewards at least, since the game seems hard...

Good luck everyone! We will post the competition rewards and event products tomorrow when the event starts!

I wish that event Adieu wit an old Bavarian saying

"Greizkruzefixsacklzementobaabluadigerhenadreggisdesaschmarrn"  

Greiz (town in Eastern Germany), crucifix, sack of cement (Christ, the Cross, the Sacrament), ......obaabluadigerhen.... a stain, isn't this rubbish.


I adore dialects and don't usually struggle too badly, but the bit in bold has me scratching my head so much that the dog thinks I have fleas....

A hen with bloody diarrhea
Besides I hate this rev and ride something, match one ride fail ten

And I strongly suppose, Greiz is not the town in Thuringia, but Bavarian for „Kreuz“ (=cross)

While I‘m not very good at the event, I do at least better than in the snowride event (no jumping over peanut butter pancakes ...).

Just finished goal 4. As there are stll 4 days to go  maybe there's a little chance to reach goal 5 and get the deco. But 2700 points is hard. Let's see how many rides it takes to get there...Keep fingers crossed!

I am awful at this! Didn't realize the green things (trees?) were barriers, or the balloons.  I don't know how many times it took me to get to 150 pts--ages, 'cause I'd fall and get 1 or 2 pts at a time.  And rec'd two T-cash, which I thought really, really lame.  Oh, well--"We can't all and some of us don't."

 

Working on the last goal and wishing this iPad wasn't so damn easy to throw at the wall.

I spent about 10 minutes fiddling with this nonsense when the event began. It was all I needed to know not to waste any more time with it. 

I ponied up the t-cash and the deco is now happily resting in my town and I am happily ignoring this event. A win-win. 

For those who believe the beta rumor and that the event was a goof and shouldn’t have been released, I disagree. It was designed to run as-is, and as-planned. The deco in my opinion was carefully chosen to compensate for the difficulty of the event. Meaning... the devs knew this was a difficult event so they needed to put an extra fab deco in as a reward to make it easy for people to spend after giving up or to drop t-cash throughout playing through to insure they will make it to the end.  

The waterfall ride deco is indeed fantastic, and I’m thrilled that the devs make these rewards available for t-cash and also as free rewards. Sometimes I do play through to the end and sometimes I don’t. One thing is for sure: one way or another, I will not let a super new deco such as this pass by. They got me and I’m fine with it. It’s a fair exchange... a handful of my t-cash for a piece of great work by them.

Hey, hey! I am getting better  Final reward is in my sights, only 2,000 stars more and that amazing deco is mine! 

Just started Rev and Ride...how does player in first have 7000 pts? Group hasnt even filled up yet.

They've been playing since it started. Person in first in my group has 7000 as well. They are just very good at it. Or they use a lot of TC . . .

I was actually able to finish this morning and get my waterfall decoration.
I admit I used tcash twice ( 2x 5tcash ) to continue. Each time after I picked up a chest but failed to finish.
More out of curiosity.
My advice, it’s not worth to chase after chests or those 2x, 3x or whatever stars, if they are not directly on your track.

Thank you for your reply, willow. But why/how was that player playing alone for 3 days? Why would the game allow the other players to join the group after 2 or 3 days? Its common for players to delay start in events so this particular group should have filled up in at most, 4 hours...Its pretty discouraging to be beaten the first minute you start. Im thinking something more fishy is going on.

I have friends who are very competitive in events and usually place top 3.....those friends who started day one are currently between 6000 and 8000 pts. So for me to join a group today and in the first minute, a player is at 7000 pts is fishy. Theres no way that player was playing alone in a group for 3 days. Groups fill up faster than that. Something is wrong.

could be that the group they were pitted with couldn't get into the games? or they fluked out and happened to be the last one to start in their ts determined group? or TS messed up and forgot to add other players? or they are a hacker and found an opening? idk? or they had been hording all this time(idk how?) and just started themselves and are just really really good? . . . yeah, not that 

Yeh, theyre not that good ....well at least im in 2nd place. My main goal is to score the unique top 3 avatar. Thats been my only motivation these days. ...something to collect and remind me of my top 3 wins. That player in 1st hasnt budged from 7000. Its like they plopped 7000 down, dropped the mic and walked off.

I got it ! 

@Rainglaze, someone on Reddit mentioned that for agriculture event, if you don't click the event button she stayed alone in the group and won. But I think she lost out on group prizes.

So in this case is next time don't click the leadership board?? But it is automatically placed.

Thanks Callie. Thats interesting. That might explain how the player in my group stayed alone for a few days?

And Playrix seems to have a habit of making groups of 29 nowadays. The final 30th always came a day late for 3 day mayor event.
Based on my observations of my own past few events and from threads. (take it with a pinch of salt)
