Race Event 12: Brutus Kill

I hope you realize that the same 200-ish people are gonna get top 30 in almost all the races, so people who never focused on racing doesn't stand much of a chance

You mean the people that are better at the game win more prizes? Unfathomable.

i mean.. why would someone get more than 1 of the same prize ?

Back in the day I've gotten multiple copies of a randomly given race reward a few times.

Is there a prize for reaching a certain level?

If prizes are only for top 30 I might as well not even attempt it.

That's true for a few race types like this one, which only give awards to the top X players, but most of the events have random rewards based on level cutoffs that are usually attainable even for inexperienced racers if you're decent at the game and put a little effort into learning the race format(s). I'm skipping this event due to the reward structure, but these events in general have seemed like a good time investment if you care about boosting your chances of a free 3.0 beta invite and/or really like any of the cosmetics on offer.

This is what I was referring to. Yes, I understand that those who have mastered every little thing as far as speedrunning goes should get rewarded for it, but the average joe has little incentive to do events, despite events being an alluring way to earn mtx stuff. Idk, i just don't think it's well thought out either.

feels exactly like lab gem rewards (same people grinding it every day for a whole season without a chance for anyone else => absolutely useless feature because of reward structure)

That's why rewards should be tiered with people have a chance of getting something for doing decently. I've done a few runs, knowing I wouldn't do great, because hitting a certain level gave me a chance of winning a prize. Having a few tiered levels means that if I do good, I get a chance, and if I do really great, I get a chance for something better. I don't have a chance for the top tier stuff, but I still run because of the things I do have a chance for (and some of the races are fun).

That said, any X kill isn't worth running because it is neither fun nor do I have any chance at winning (I say it isn't fun because it isn't any different than hardcore). At least for the short timed ones. The BLAMT yesterday is something I really wanted to try, but due to family obligations I would've only been able to spend about 6 hours on it and I know that isn't enough time for me.

My time is impossible... 58 minutes? I started with 38 minutes to go... what gives??
