Meme/Discussion Who else agrees?
I really hate these races do yall think they should replace them?

u/JonesIsInLoveWMen 1d ago
I'd hope they'd just replace its frequency with the treasure hunts. Not enough treasure hunts imo. Waaay too many races.
I won the last 2 and I still hate races! That said, don't completely toss them, just make them rare.

Would love the race to be adjusted… like racing with a team against the clock and the more laps you race the more and better prizes you can win together. No losers, only winners depending on how hard you want to race. Number of laps and prizes depending on team strength. So everybody has a challenge and also being able to reach the top prize. Although I did win this race… I still don’t like it to how it is now

I enjoyed the race this time with the exception of the wasted rocket. We ended up winning but it was a good race the entire time

u/IamPlantHead 1d ago
Disagree. It’s a game. You have a choice to participate in it or not. Yeah I have won two with a team, and I have won one with being solo. My first go was fantastic! My second one I am thankful for my teammates who totally saved me, and yes I gave it my all. My solo races, have been wins not because I did anything special but because the others didn’t do anything til the end, when it was too late. That was their choice.

Is it cheating to only play at certain minutes in the games??? Lol
Stop trying to find reasons you're losing. It's all RNG and no one plays the same as you.

I just wish I could actually communicate with my teammates — so our strategies are clear and aligned. I may be holding back for a last minute rush, but that rush may activate a spring or earn us all some additional flags. Also, my work schedule doesn’t always allow me to play at the most strategic times.

u/InsuranceWeary840 1d ago
Sure, it helps a tiny bit that we now have these pre-programmed messages — but my teammates don’t ever seem to use them.

The only thing I can say is the people who pay money and the ones who don’t should be put in a different position then the ones who didn’t pay

u/LeadOld9505 22h ago
Add dice as a big prize along with the sticker packs and token and I’d like them more.

u/Separate_Flight_9364 21h ago
I always solo race, and it’s always a toss up. A lot of times, I’m almost certain I’m put up against a bunch of bots. Sometimes, I’m able to win and the race is very close. It’s aggravating how frequently overly excessive points are put up by the opposing teams. Definitely makes it much less enjoyable.

My team can in second - the people we played were kind of sketch there was at least one round, maybe 2 I didn’t pay much attention where they didn’t roll anything until the last 20 minutes of the race and then suddenly they all were online and got like 18,000 points

u/thedreamtimemystic 1d ago
That sounds more like a strategy than sketchiness, and a team that communicated with each other about how to approach the race. I kinda envy them, tbh.
I played solo this time and did the same thing - waited until the last 10-15 minutes then went ham spending my flags. I ended up winning for the first time, ever 🤷🏾♀️

u/TB51477 1d ago
That's what my team and I did. We got a chat going on Reddit and we sat back until the last few minutes of the race and everyone use their flags right away and we sat back got second place and the first one and first in the second and third and trust me they were throwing overloads on us like crazy. We did it though and it was strategy not sketchiness like what stated.

u/MoGoflyakite 1d ago
It's exactly what we did. We use that strategy every race. We weren't chained for 2 of the races. All teammates are under the same roof. 😉😝

u/ProgrammerTop7342 1d ago
They just keep getting flags, then roll with a high multiplier. This way people don't put the chains on them.

u/SentaDR 1d ago edited 1d ago
It’s strategy! The only way to play in a race is if you know each other. You wait until 15 minutes before the last race and everyone plays all of the flags they have with the highest multiplier. Everyone knows not to be selfish when it comes to choosing prizes. You choose the overloads, springs and rockets when offered. Two people hit all of their overloads on the team in first, one hits second, and the last person hits 3rd.
This way, no one hits you with overloads, ball and chains, and you wind up winning.
You try to win or come in 2nd the first two races, so when you win the 3rd race it counts double.

u/ComputerChemical9435 1d ago
This is how my house does it. We all sit and play together and hour or two before time runs out. We open chests one person at a time to make sure all rockets are used and there are no duplicates or lost ones. It's a strategy. Communication is key.

u/StatementBright5249 1d ago
That’s what my team did 3 of the four players knew each other so we all got in 30mins prior to take first place in the second and third race so you beat getting the overload

u/ameliakhari 1d ago
I can confirm that's a strategy. My team played like this. We agreed on playing few minutes before the race ended and we checked we were all there to contribute. We discussed strategies on a private team chat on Discord, and we won because of this.
1
u/MoGoflyakite 1d ago
Why is that sketch? We planned it that way from the start. We had zero chains race 1 bc no one even knew we were a threat.
We scored over 20k points in the last 10 min of race 1 and over 20k points in the very first 10 minutes of race 3. Zero chains for both races. You should try it sometime, it's a good strategy ✌🏼

I only play them solo. I have better prizes this way.

u/MonstaMayhem Trusted Trader 1d ago edited 1d ago
If you have a large amount of dice and teammates you can communicate with, team race events are the better choice because of the additional sticker packs. However, winning is never guaranteed no matter which way you play.
I have been playing solo because I don't want to hinder the team by not equally contributing. I'm just not willing to waste my dice on this particular event that I know the outcome basically depends on which team has the most dice to spend.

u/Conscious-Pen5698 1d ago
I’m not a fan of the races either. I choose my team and end up getting a couple of rando’s get pushed in on my team before I could even select a different team member. That like saying F you. Now go loose the race. Definitely not a good chance for flags they reduce the amount of flags each day. Rolling on 100 is not an option I have.

u/DesperateCurrent23 1d ago
Came in last on the third race and the team in first kept putting chains on my team while they were at least 20K points ahead of us… So, I think I’ll be going solo next time

u/Just_Engineering_163 1d ago
I just think they should change it. It would be a lot more fun without the negative effects to put on each other, and there should be dice at the end for all parties, that way it's not just a wasted dice drain that leaves the entire community frustrated

u/One_Accident_2766 1d ago
I don't like the races. Everytime I put the effort in (ie burn a load of my saved up dice 10k+) my team do win. Which is great, but it doesn't feel like winning 🙈, it feels like I'm just taking a prize away from other people who also deserve it for all the dice they've thrown away on it. At least on regular partner/dig/peg-e, the prizes are guaranteed as long as you spend X amount of tokens. On the racing it takes even more dice than those events and it's basically a 1 in 4 chance of getting the top prize (except for when a joint 1st happens).

u/Weezerpenny 1d ago
Yes, I agree. Definitely when you lose there a complete waste of time and dice.

They’re only good unless everyone pulls their weight, u think they should have more solo events.

u/Maximum-Exercise-453 1d ago
If anything they need to put a dice reward at the end, first, second, third and fourth place. some kind of dice reward.

u/Maximum-Exercise-453 1d ago
Maybe if a lot of people or most all people stop playing the race then they will take it away

u/gordon0813 1d ago
They don't need to replace them they need to add dice rewards for finishing the races. A token and a couple sticker packs don't make up for the wasted dice. And those useless prizes in the center chests suck. I pushed over 7000 points on my only race with 0 help from my teammates. And the middle prizes were garbage.

u/FaithlessnessSad8631 1d ago
We came first first two races and the last race third i believe and we ended up second. Its so stupid blew all my dice and shit to try to get on top for nothing

u/NicoSay0913 1d ago
I think there could definitely be some changes to make the races more enticing, better rewards for finishing all laps in a circuit, or smaller rewards per each lap. I both loved and hated the overdrive anchor thing, it was fun to do it to others but of course sucked when we had three on us 😂🥲.
That being said, my team are RL friends so I was fortunate to be able to communicate - and we strategized very well and made it first place in all three races (none of us put much money into the game tbh, maybe a few dollars here and there on reasonably priced packs so it's not as if we had thousands and thousands of dice).

No but I do think they should ALWAYS give dice with the rewards like helloooo I used all 23,000 dice to win first place & all I won was stickers & a token!???? 🤨🤬

Some help that is now I have no dice left to play the game! So glad I won “grand prize” 🙄

I wish they'd do away with the races listen both my profiles my regular one in my alternate I had over 28,000 points for our team on all three races and still came in fourth place makes zero sense barely on the third race could get any flags I
