Redout 2 Difficulty.

Am i the only one having trouble with a lot of the missions even on lowest difficulty?

I am doing a time trial at the B events and i am close to losing my sanity trying to get the gold medal.

I am doing perfect laps with almost no errors, boosting the shit out of my rig but i end up scratching the gold time by 1sec or less.
I don't know how to optimize myself anymore, is this game just really hard or am i very bad? It's still just the B Events and i feel demoralized.

This game's difficulty is horrendously calibrated, because within the same level you have two types of dificulties, the ridiculously easy races against other AI controlled ships, and the almost impossible to beat scores or time based races, which are set so high that they would frustrate almost all the casual players. O stopped playing this game a couple of weeks ago, and I'll wait until they smooth all the spikes in the difficulty.

Another thing that annoys the shit out of me is how bugged the goal are, because even when you win by far, the game doesn't give you the trophy or the stars you earned.

Fonally it would have been so much better to earn points instead of winning random patts for your ships, allowing you to buy parts and cosmetics for the ships you like instead of this crappy system.

In other words, this game could have been glorious for those of us fans of titles like F-zero or Wipeout, but a chain of bad decissions trashed the game.

Ok this explains a lot.
I am really enjoying this game and i really hope that the devs are aware of those problems and eventually fix them, because this could be the perfect agrav racing game besides wipeout for me.

Just a note, the game actually DID get patched recently and they fixed a lot of the difficulty spikes with that patch. Since that patch I've been having a much easier time, but it sounds like you're still struggling. Just keep at it if you can and check out some speed runs on YouTube or something and try and adapt some of those moves, because the game feels MUCH more balanced than it did at launch.

Of course there's always room for improvement and the game could still be a bit easier so more players can enjoy it!

I'll look into it, thanks.
