Your life is no less full because of this. I feel like there's only so much fun to be had with this game. The excitement of chaining together big combos is already wearing off--now I just think, "Well, it's not going to be big ENOUGH, and it wouldn't matter anyway because I haven't upgraded my gears' levels as much as other people have." Â I can't keep up with the barrage of new Nintendo apps. In fact, I'm so burned out that I'm going to try deleting ALL of my gacha games for a while. Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Now that you can see how your opponents in the rankings did in each race and what theyâve used, itâs 100% confirmed that the top tier rankings are pay-to-win. In my rankings, mostly likely everyone in the positions where you can earn rubies all have the Gold Pass, since most of the drivers/karts/gliders theyâve used for each race are all high-end.  Just look at what I have to beat to get first (see pic below). I assume this person has had the Gold Pass since launch and has everything theyâve used at high lvls. Thereâs absolutely no way I can achieve these kind of scores! Yeeaah...F this! Iâm done with trying to top the rankings, since Iâve hit tier 20. Kinda BS that it has become pay-to-win.  Edited December 11, 2019 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Maybe I'm biased since I'm a Gold Pass holder. But I don't find Gold Pass to be Pay-to-Win. An edge, sure. But playing Free and getting 1 or 2 good 10-Pipe Pulls can offset the Gold Pass rewards. That said, I watched a supposed F2P player on YouTube racing to learn a tracks best routes, and he was rocking all high-end gear and character and they were all minimum level 3. Quote Link to comment

Unless...That somehow they got extremely lucky with pulls, because if you don't have the Gold Pass, the game doesn't really give you that many free rubies. Now that I think of it, they could have plowed through all the standard challenges (not sure how many sets there are) and had enough rubies for a bunch of x10 pulls. ...But with at lvl 3 min.? đ€ Maybe they used lvl tickets?

Elemental Hero Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 All of my rubies since launch couldn't get me British Waluigi. It's a sign. The game wants me to delete it now. But before I do, I figure I'll scrounge up a few more to throw at full-price pulls... Â First one's Waluigi. Â please help me im trapped forever Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Did you pull from Waluigi's pipe or Daisy's? Quote Link to comment

You bet I triple-checked to make sure nobody told Daisy where the party was at. (I did get that Waluigi, but only after some kicking and screaming.) Quote Link to comment

The Albraskan Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Donât know why they didnât pair Santa Mario and Reindeer Yoshi for the same tour, but I guess itâs no big deal. I guess MKT like to have one male and one female character for the spotlight characters for the pipes. Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) The multiplayer beta is now open to everyone...   OMG! This thing is a complete laggy pay-to-win mess!!!   For anyone who has yet to give the multiplayer a go, this is how it works... Every 30 mins. it will cycle through one of the cups in the current tour, which it will randomly choose a track from for you to play. When you first enter the Multiplayer Menu, you will have the option to play with random people or Friends/Others Nearby by creating a lobby. Just like the regular tour cups certain drivers/karts/gilders are better for certain tracks. When a race starts it shows you the points needed to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Though, I don't think score really matters in Multiplayer, as I've only seen it show the position you placed after a race has finished.   I played a bit and here are my thoughts...  Pros: - Well, it's Mario Kart.  Cons: - Tracks still rely one having certain drivers/karts/gliders. <--- Don't have a driver able to get 3 items/frenzies, then don't bother! - People who are able to get freezes more often have the advantage. - Incredibly laggy. <-- It's a beta after all - Frequent Comm. Errors. <-- It's a beta after all - Possible hackers. <--- Lost out on getting first do to someone using a bullet in 2nd just before the finish  What I'd fix: - Make it so every has the same amount items. - Remove frenzies. - Don't make certain divers/karts/gliders better for certain tracks. <-- We can us whatever we have with no advantages/disadvantages - Prevent & ban hackers. - Let us vote on witch track to play out of all the tracks that have been added to the game. - Of course, fix the massive lag/comm errors.

The Albraskan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Well I got my first spotlight driver, the Penguin âwho death stares backâ Luigi. I think after finally getting a featured spotlight driver from spending so many rubies in past tours, I think Iâll play this game a lot less seriously now, or at least stop grinding to chase after spotlight items. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I stopped playing, got stale. Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited)  It seems like they actually listened to the feed back from the mutliplayer survey during the gold/public betas. Though, they still have a rule set where you use a character's default item slots. This was the biggest complaint I saw from the multiplayer beta. Too bad they didn't get rid of it completely.   WHAT?! 100cc only when playing worldwide, unless you have the Gold Pass? Really, no 150cc? đ© Edited March 3, 2020 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
