Alpine final AI was the one track you could have practiced on (MP), if you'd wanted to. if you didn't, that's your call, no point blaming others. there were videos showing the route from day 1, from players that paid to unlock labs. took me 4 goes on ET, first was a second out, then a dead heat, 3rd i was ahead and flopped the final ramp, and 4th i won. in the 15 minutes or so before, i watched videos, what the route was, where and how to turn (sharp or drift), how to take the ramps, nitro management, air speeds...there's a lot to learn about A8 if you want to do well.

it's a game, it's designed to be challenging*. if you're inexperienced and think you can rock up with no practice and win...you won't. if it were easy all the time, players would get bored, and the game would die. it hasn't, it's still going strong. it has its faults, i'll be the first to criticise the - as i see them - two main issues, hackers and cost, and i do what i can to address both with GL, as i'm doing with MP. but we get new cars & tracks, which have been good recently.


 * agreed, Alpine final AI was tough, we've been sure to let GL know the community's feelings about that. i know folk who beat it ST, and quite a bit below max/pro. but, for those that couldn't beat the AI, 1800 tokens for a top C class car isn't (comparatively) a lot, and many paid that. they may have grumbled a bit, but many will have received 1500 tokens from the recent second M2 giveaway event, so could afford to.
