Bosses and progression ruin the fun

[carbastard]

The game has lots of potential, but the progression system has to go and a couple of bosses are downright stupid.

It makes no sense locking tuning parts and cars behind perk points AND story progress, specially when your opponents are allowed to race you with infinitely faster cars. The two worst examples are Melancholic Angel and Rolling Gal No. 1: doesn't matter if you're driving a maxed out car with nitrous, they will always disappear in the distance.

Either make the races fair by having the bosses resonable performance, or leave them as they are and let us buy whatever cars and parts we want to beat them. Oh, and get rid of that stupid wallet progression system: it's just a nuissance that forces you to spend money when you don't need to instead of allowing you to save for the car you want or the upgrades you need (because they're locked anyways).

Just broken balancing right now. Like mentioned in other threads, it's early access, they'll patch to fix the balance soon.

btw, any tip to catch him? I'm stuck on Melancholic Angel too. I can't buy faster car, because of too small wallet, maxed (with progression ofc) rx8 with special tune can't even get me close.

try to mess with transmission settings and suspension settings she is very slow on corners. The first time she appeared i just blocked her way so she cant accel into me and lost her in the corners (istg i prayed). Consisdering the fact that her car is has the fastest acceleration in the game as of now imo lol.

I know, it's why I said the game has lots of potential and I'm giving the developer my honest feedback here. That's the purpose of it being early access, isn't it?

best way to win against cars with insane acceleration is follow them until nearing a sharp corner, then starting the race. after that simply force your way in front (or ram them) and try and hold the lead. it's annoying and unrealistic but it's the only way i've found

You won't beat her by driving fair and nothing in your garage will come close to her. It took me 26 tries (and being offered the "Loser" B.A.D), but she finally made a mistake and crashed.

Keep trying until she makes a mistake and crashes out or traffic slows her down enough so you can crash into her and keep her pinned to the wall. Save your nitro for that moment so you're able to get away as quick as possible. Other thant that, there's nothing you can do.

Dejected Angel would like a word. Get Gud.

i'm close to 6 hours of playtime and stopped playing.
my wallet is maxed, there is no other car that i am interested in, every car that i love is locked behind midnight cinderella and she is nowhere to be found.

this actually ruined all of my fun.

I am gud, tryhard, it's just objectively impossible to beat her fair and square with the car you're allowed to have by the time you face her. If I was losing to her with a fully tuned GT-R then yeah, it'd be a skill issue instead of a poorly implemented balancing issue.

Yes, yes, Melancholic Angel is broken right now. If you don't want to cheese that race, wait till there's a patch. It's Early Access for crying out loud

And the point of Early Access is for the devs to have feedback, for crying out loud...

You people would not survive txr0 bosses

Just wanted to come here to say that I was going to post about this also. I feel like bosses aren't possible to beat fairly, am I buying the wrong (a slow) car? I've max upgraded and screwed with my transmission enough, but the bosses are just faster. Only way I've been able to win is by getting lucky and they crash or slam into a wall in a corner. Would love to see more to the racing besides power and luck.
Maybe more traffic so it's almost like an obstacle course? Or a change in AI behavior dependent on certain factors? (Like they drive more aggressively when you're close to them, causing them to make mistakes, etc)?

Am I just missing something?

you're not missing something, the difficulty requires adjusting, and i think the game requires progression overhaul in general.
my wallet is maxed, my car is maxed, there is nothing else to do for me, i can no longer progress but there are also opponents who are way too fast right now.
it makes no sense.
i think more perks and upgrades should unlock alot sooner than what is currently the case.
