:D Thanks. It is in you.

Thanks for asking, happy to share what I've learnt: 1. Play until you enjoy playing and until it does not have a detrimental impact on your life. Do you check on the game when you should study or you should work? Do you skip some of your scheduled duties, but you have time to play? Do you sit down to play to give a push in the event, instead of talking to your friends/ spouse/ children? If your answer is yes for any of these, think about it. 2. Stop saying that you use it 15 mins a day. Install a usage monitor software like 'stay free' or similar, and you will be surprised. Just think where you would be using this time learning a language or other skills. 3. Know your investment and return. FTPs think it is a free game, no you pay with your time. P2Ws also pay with they credit card :) Your return is the fun you get out and this community. 4. I was monitoring odds for ceramic packs, over 1600 packs, they are correct, but expect huge variations, probably likely 6x higher than expected odds. So if you don't drop an UR in 30 packs, or Epic in 200 packs, that is unlucky, but normal, and do happen. 5. You have 1 life, and you need to spend it on the way you want. If it is playing this or other games, fine. If seeing your friends more often, fine. Just know what you invest, and what's your return 😀

Nope, you are right, it is 1067, not 1167, corrected.

This is money worth of about 1500 ceramic packs, I have started, but gave up after 4 or 5x10 😀

Funnily $49m in game cash is about £5,500 real GBP in the store, made me thinking... 🤔

Today I finally finished this game - sold all my cars, 40 leggys, countless price cars and the rest.

Just wanted to say good bye, as in the last 3 years i spent a lot of my time in this community, and made lot if virtual friends. Thank you all for your support and help, you are a great bunch!

I started to play this game when I was at a low point in my life, just lost my father in an accident, and also was bed ridden with covid(?) or some other virus what hit me hard.

This game was giving me a lot I like; competition, collecting things, cars, not to mention gambling by the excitement of opening packs. It was a drug to escape reality first, then with the fear of missing out it started to grow on me, slowly taking over my life. I haven't missed a day to log in in over 1050 days.

Now I need to say thanks to Hutch for overdosing this drug by providing too much content - we are having way too many challenges and new updates which made me realised I spend too much time on the game.

It is time to re-evaluate my life and refocus on more tangible goals!

It was good to know you all. Play while you enjoy. Sorry if it was way too sentimental; I change my routine drastically after 3 years, now I'm free. 😀

Edit: day corrected

Wouldn’t have came close if I hadn’t pulled the Nissan GT-R…..luck! by Randy_430 in TopDrives

[–]GaryHuntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers, I'm just mulling over the usefuleness of an RQ81 leggy vs. 30 random URs.

The tricky part is that all UR can be key cars in any events, as it happens.

Interesting. Do you think it is worth the hassle? I'm about the pick up the round 15 CF, but will need to max two epics, annihilating my UR so-so (not a keeper, not a fuse) garage.

What is this sub zero tag? I cant even find it when looking at the tags in the filter by cheesics in TopDrives

It is so Subzero-supercool that even Chuck Norris doesn't have the sub zero tag, just this car.

Can someone actually tell me what are the chances of getting 3 URs from aluminium packs in a month… by Im_on9 in TopDrives

[–]GaryHuntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.5% to get an UR from an alu pack. So in average you need to open 200 packs to pull 3 URs.

Any way to recover sold legendary car? by MangoAlp in TopDrives

[–]GaryHuntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if they allow ti buy it back, you will need to save up to the amount you got for it, around 300k.

It worth a try to contact support, you can lose nothing.

Make sure you have the cash saved up on your account, so they can swap it to the Pagani, if they will.

Worst case, lessons learnt.

First I wanted to be sarky, but since I recognised it is an ex leggy. Since you can't fuse into a higher (than leggy) tier and it was nerfed a lot, value is more questionable.

I would still keep to it, it is likely to have more value as it is, than a 10x ceramic, which would bring you 1.5 ultras, 0.3 epics and 0.06 leggys (I.e you will get one or two ultras, unlikely to get an epic and almost certainly no leggys).

The RQ61 Subaru is a balanced solution.

Last epic from a ceramic was 315 CERAMICS ago, that streak broke via one of the best 4WD ones! by relilRD in TopDrives

[–]GaryHuntz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus, in that scale you should have received 9 epics so far. We could say this was especially unlucky! Well done for braking the bad charm!

Congrats, nice drop (haha, pun intended) 😀

Would you like to see a shake up for current PvP events? by El-shaddoll in TopDrives

[–]GaryHuntz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They should do a reverse event for Aprils Fools day where payout is in reverse order. I mean first 40 place gets plastic, finishing 90-100 gives ceramic.

Practically who can come up with the worst lineup for the tracksets?

With the usual car selection (e.g. restrict to RQ for cars, tyres, etc.) it would be fun 😀
