    The variation in completion vs level is massive for different players. This worries me a little in respect to getting a fleshed out career and mp mode.
    Firemonkeys may see the split as matching playing styles. If a player wants to complete the game and get 100% they can opt to do so and if a player wants to race friends they too can so.
    Hmmm we will see ay

    To K1llyB1lly: got ya! 67.2km

    That was fun. But the car needs servicing after this long! I know I could have done better. Go ahead and beat me, I'm sure you can.

    P.S. tried to upload the screenshot, but it does not post. The file is only 226k...hmmm

    New RR3 update. Anyone downloaded it yet? Seems vague. Might be the final version

    !!
    Update gets rid of repair time all together BUT the timers for oil etc seem like they are back up. Need to test some more but an oil change for a low tier BMW is 15mins.
    This shit cray!
     
  7. There is an update out? Or a stealth one?
     
  8. So when I free ride off the course or slam into cars, I don't have to wait a couple of minutes

    Is it a delta update or not?

    Its a real update. You still have to pay for damage repairs but the "decay" repairs still take time

    They need to fix the "AI", pronto. I'm tired of having to repair from a race due to these robots just ignoring where I am. It's getting frustrating as hell.

    I can confirm the new update make service times longer, but repair times instant. Dammit, I just queued up my Audi for a full service when it didn't need it, now it won't be ready for like 9 hours...

    Yeah, I played last night, got a 6 hour and 30 minute wait time!!! I was shocked! I thought that 2 hours was about max, man couldn't play today with that car at all, glad I had a second car.

    Wish they would go do away with wait timers, this game is too much a car auto fixing shop simulator for me. Go away wait timers, shoo!!! :p

    It's so sad, because the underlying game is really solid. A truly worthy successor to RR2, in terms of physics and graphics. But the wait times limit your ability to access that underlying game.

    Yikes on the timers... again. Fix AI + Timers + cloud support = IAP purchases for dev support. That's what it is for me.

    Yeah this bump in maintenance time stinks! I'm just gonna go ahead and say that they were actually fun for me before. I didn't mind the 5 min repair time cause it made me drive another car and mix it up. When you wore the car down it was a couple hour repair, fair. Not any more, longer waits trying to suck up more gold.....the gold. I feel like swearing. This has been very enjoyable and addicting to me, freemium or not.
     
  18. Yeah, take out the wait timers and make the ai better, and this would have been a great game. Sigh.

    With service times longer but repair times shorter, what will it mean in total? Guess I won't have time til tomorrow, but it better not be 8 hours, or I am going to blow a gasket. :)

    Let me get this straight, they fixed problems that didn't exist (repair timers are rarely more than a couple of minutes) and made worse problems that did exist (service timers start getting ridiculous...)? I have four cars right now (well five now, having just bought the discounted Porsche 911, but that won't be delivered for another hour and a half). After updating, the four cars I had now have timers of nearly 2 hours due to servicing...

    Yeah, the delivery crap is annoying as the service timers.
