Favorite racing mode moments so far:

  • At the green light less than one second into the race getting instantly pitted, spinning 180, then suddenly flying a random direction, and exploding.
  • Every time I get slammed into by nothing, then a car zips next to me and bounces off where I just was due to desync/latency.

Also the ranking doesn't seem to mean anything. You don't lose enough for a loss and the % for a win is going lim0. But that said, I'm loving it as a kart racer and just keep playing despite it being a pointless distraction in need of love.

Note to self: This one's the good one



I had my favorite racing moment today where a car rammed into me, pushing me into the finish line ahead of it.


And then I got 2nd place.

I'm probably not good enough at the game for the weird glitches in racing to actually matter as much to my experience, but what I HAVE noticed is that wow, the quest completion just, doesn't work very well. Some of them seem entirely arbitrary on whether completing the objective counts or not, and some of them are maybe too generous. I can't help but think that the quest to pass other cars while turboing probably isn't meant to be immediately cleared by the boost you get at the start of the race.

As long as you are populating the matchmaking I don’t think Epic gives much of a poo poo how those quests work

Well good news everyone. There was an update last night that changed a few things.



Cosmetics now show their rarity in the locker.

Unfortunately I've kind of lost interest in this game until they sort out the locker/presets. Any news on that?

I never know what quest popped because I can't take my eyes off the track to check the blue box pop-up. I'm not a very good driver.

I hope the run speed increase is significant. I’m constantly trying to sprint on empty since picking this game back up.

Being slammed into from behind still spun me 180 and directly into a wall at like 700KPH where I safely just came to a dead stop with a "wrong way!" warning flashing at me. But holding down on the D-pad to reset my car position works now at least, so I was able to turn around faster than the lovely turning radius these cars have.

Lol! The one and only thing I am waiting for them to fix, is still borked. Epic, I want to give you money! Please fix the hellhole that is the locker so I can stop protesting you in my completely unnoticeable, way. :(

On a lot of stuff. Seems mostly mats are fifty and crafted are still 30. That's not hard and fast tho.

That was removed. It caused people to move so fast it would crash servers.

I specifically won a round earlier today because the ice feet helped catch the last dude by surprise.


Glad I got that win in while I could

The ice grappler was so fun, you could just follow the railway line while crouch sliding after each grapple and go three times faster than the train.
