Start late and you run the risk of still joining a group that has grinded quite a bit. I'd only start on a day like Sunday if it isn't your last chance of the season.

Joepelus Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 So I got promoted to gold 3. This week: Canada United Kingdom Netherlands Fun circuits this weekend, i'm no fan of Baku and Las Vegas so thats good. I won't have time to play until sunday thats when I can play as long as I want which is a good thing. I know the trophy is bugged but I will still give it a shot. Also hoping they might change some things for the upcoming seasons as the player base is declining hard, I also noticed on some occassions other players messaging me asking to take their points rival out in a race lol.

DCS_RStyles046 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Well Im now in Gold 3 so I only need to promote once for Elite and the platinum trophy, BUT, since there will be a reset again after this week I will not receive the trophy even when I’m on the verge of promotion to Elite. So for everyone who is in Gold 3 now, save your time this week for trying to promote because in all cases you WONT get promoted. I experienced it myself when I was going from silver to gold, raced the whole week for nothing not knowing that there will be a reset after several weeks. So now Im in Gold 3, to which division I will get dropped after a reset? Gold 1? Silver? Or even Bronze again?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current understanding is that we will be demoted to Silver 1 next week. Silver 1 -> Gold 1 Gold 1 -> Gold 3 Gold 3 -> Elite? Meaning it will take 4 weeks from now at minimum, lol. However I will still attempt the grind on sunday and report any problems to EA (if any apply). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't fixed it, please don't waste your time going for Elite, unless you want the cosmetic awards. 50 minutes ago, DCS_RStyles046 said: Well Im now in Gold 3 so I only need to promote once for Elite and the platinum trophy, BUT, since there will be a reset again after this week I will not receive the trophy even when I’m on the verge of promotion to Elite.

Issac-1827 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I finally unlocked this Elite Racer trophy today, I kept looking back at the leaderboard from time to time to see if anything has changed so far, since I have started on Wednesday and grinded up to 2123 points in total.

I was definitely sweating a bit when there was like 2-3 hrs of no one playing with 6 hrs to go. Then finally found a 16 person session only for me to get rammed from behind on turn 1 for a DNF. Almost gave up but glad I didnt lol. Literally on the last race possible before the season ended I needed to get 40 pts and I almost crashed on the last lap. Ive never been so stressed in my life hahaha. Felt really bad for the guy I passed but im just glad its finally over lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always were a fair racer and I was also a witness of your dedication all the way through this challenge, glad it worked out in the end.

loudar22 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I made it to gold 1 this week so I’m guessing I can only get to gold 3 this week however I heard of the bug on season reset so even if I could get to elite I wouldn’t even get the trophy. If i start on Thursday or Friday and just race to keep my division will I drop to silver 1 or bronze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash_goose Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Is there any point in me going for gold 1 this week or will I just get dropped down to bronze anyway because of the bug? (im silver 1 currently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started grinding on Wednesday afternoon and it put me in a fresh group, I had been told to grind up to 2000 points just to be safe, since I was planning to go up to around 1800 points. I’m still happy to see me, @Marvlint and @James-_-1989 (last time I checked the day before promotion) promoting up to elite. Few of my friends were surprised to see me performing like a future eSports driver haha, since I play using a controller, not a racing wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
