Can't get enough of the Great Race? Same here! Here's a new chance to get rewards and have some fun.

The full text of the news item

And what happens in a real race when you get:
1) focusfired?
2) the right spawn and get stuck on an invisible wall at the final jump?
3) stuck on the 1st bridge and get 0 km/h?
4) your tanks starts spinning for no reason?
5) you actually win but the 3rd enemy doesn't jump down in cap so none of you get 1k damage...

Maybe fix the race, also make it so 4/6 trophies aren't only for "win".

You know how trash it is to play 6 battles for daily 50 gold???

tell me one reason to do this !?

 - 3v3 .. random aways one person is AMOEBA ..  1v1 is good when u play ALONE .. if u want 2v2/3v3/20v20 play with team .. random i like football mode .. aways low skilled things ruin game.

 

U can learn from ur mistakes (i hope so .. but i know u dont)

If i want good race i will play another game ... here its only waste of time .. for low rewards. no ty!

Yeah, it's boring - my goal is to collect 4 x5 exp boosters and that's it. I grinded T10 from 40k exp to 220k very fast, just by using those x5 xp

Tell us why you think it's boring, it helps us improve the mode for the future.

Well, it's too grindy for me - playing one and same race track in one best suited (russian) vehicle is boring. I wish there was less (or no) shooting and more "stunts" on the track - like jumping, barrel rolling, ramming and stuff - and those stunts would give us points which would add to those points which we would get when we finish the race first. And I don't like base capture, it's not needed in racing.

 

Example - first player who finishes race gets 10 points, second gets 8 points and so on. Then, on those points you give additional points for jumping over the ramps (like 1), rolls (2) and stuff, and they add up to give player final ranking. If there would still be shooting, I wish shots would slow down opponents and not damage them - so they wouldn't finish first and wouldn't jump as high - which all makes impact on point accumulation.

 

I haven't tought a lot about this, I know idea is not perfect, but I wish game mode was more fun, not just drive russian tank and hold left mouse button.

I like it a lot, so dont think it is boring but perhaps some improvements:

Really check for the invisible bumbs. Those suck really bad.

Keep track of the fastest times from each tank. Make some kind of mini-event in the event. When you are in the cooldown from the 5 races you can drive the track alone to set the fastest lap and make a hall of fame for that. That way you also prevent people getting boosted and rig it.

Nothing for solo players then...

Have you played it for more than 15 races?  You tell us why it's not boring.

As a race it sucks.

It seems that when you reach the chance for 50 gold, you are suddenly focus fired all the time or at least one of your team is a bot. Forget the Race. That is last weeks news. For Halloween bring back the special from last year.Could not get enough of that creepy map.

how can I share a team in "one last ride"? There is always a password needed... :-(

This would be my first team game in WOT - this because I'm mostly number one in single race...
