200% more grind for new Solar Pass??
The first Solar Pass had pretty good balance. 12k XP per level was enough to motivate me to complete daily challenges and earn mostly useless rewards, despite all shortcomings of the game (especially AI and optimization).

But now with 36k XP per level... Not even Lamborghini Diablo is tempting enough to make me grind so much. And you didn't even increase cash rewards...

The grind is much better post patch. You'll make a tonne of cash since there is no longer a limit on how many times you can race a track before cash starts to drop.

A little patience and the Diablo will be yours.

Go Ibiza... "Highway to Heaven " - currently it's set for S class and you can beat track in 3m and get 50k, over and over. It'll change in 15H.

I'm racking up the cash and clan grind. Yes, solar pass is slower but that's fine.

I didn't even know there is such a limit. This game gets more absurd with every day :D

Yea.

Used to be 4 race limit before cash started dropping. The payouts are a tad lower post patch but the lack of a limit more than makes up for that.

Game, solar pass and clan XP were nvr limited though, as pertaining to your original post regarding the long solar pass grind.

I'm lvl 9 alrdy which I feel is quite fast given new season isn't even a week old and there are only 25 lvls. And honestly, I haven't ground that much since season began... too busy with work and kids. Today is my first real grind of 3H now.

Good luck brother! Hope to see you in your new, shiny Diablo soon!!!

Also race with a car that has one of those end game "100 race, 1M reward" tasks. SVJ for example. Assuming you are lvl60 ofc.

I'm already at level 7 Solar Pass just playing casually, and the season has over 90 days left. It isn't "cope", it's just patience. Don't think about your Solar Pass level, and just play the game normally. Before you know it, you'll have hit level 25.

There was a limit at launch, and it was very annoying. The limit no longer exists.

LOL, cope.

The grind is much faster now. Much.

Thanks for your valuable input though.

Thanks, dude. I did about 10 or 15 runs with my Corvette C8 Stingray and managed to work my way to 16th on the leaderboard. Going for PBs is a lot more rewarding now that the prize doesn't disappear after 5 races or so.

Honestly, I think the grind in the first solar pass was fair and reasonable enough, with all those other dailies/weekly grinds.
Making it 3 times as steep is A LITTLE OVER THE TOP. 12k to 20k at most!
