This NEW UPDATE will DESTROY HCR2 ๐Ÿ’”

Published 2024-05-18
Fingersoft just dropped a bomb on us. Indeed, they have announced the new 1.61.0 update, featuring revolutionary new buffs, such as adding a 4th tuning part slot to vehicles.
Literally nobody asked for this update. Nobody asked for a 4th Tuning Part slot.

Not only does this update completely upset the competitive side of the game, by making everything that's ever been achieved in the game obsolete, but it also impacts the casual players, by making Vehicle Mastery excessively expensive and painful to grind.

Even though it might be a bit interesting to see the new strategies, I don't think there's much hope to revive HCR2 at this point.. this update was the nail in the coffin.

    You know it's serious when Titanium starts taking things seriously!

    Okay I didnโ€™t want to comment but 5:52 made me do it. I told in PR server around 1-2 years ago that FS will release 4th tuning slot when the game will be nearly dead, it was clear after CC-EV, tbat they will start adding more OP stuff to keep players in their game.. and they did. Muscle Car, then nitro, now this. I wanted to create new account so many times but a little of things stopped me from that. 1 - Ads which appear every 2 races 2 - Blueprint stuff 3 - This currency that you get for leveling up adventure chest to unlock new adventure map (previous star system was better) Leave the game, stop playing it and show devs what they deserve. They expect us to play HCR3 but I bet that even 20% of cureent playerbase will. Not even talking about behavior of community managers, this is unacceptable.

    Pros: New Savannah Map! Cons: Everything else thats in the new update
  • Yk what i got an idea: Step 1: Uninstall hcr2 Step 2: Commemorate it Step 3: Play Tetris

    When they bring the 4th slot to rally, the end is near
  • @WeirdoHCR2
    I think the best compromise would be to add a new leaderboard that includes records with mastery, so we can still play the "classic" hcr2
  • @jacobisheden
    I actually got so frustrated when the that mushroom guy told me "records are meant to be broken" and I guess I kinda misunderstood "the end", I'm glad you're still posting๐Ÿ˜… Edit: just realized my dc messages got deleted

    As the best Racing Truck player, I technically want to see what the update is about before judging anything. Personally, I was always frustrated with the Air Drag "feature" and was wondering what could the limits possibly be without any Air Drag. That's just an example. If you take some history in the sport competitons, same thing. Take the Ski Long Jump for instance. Before, the best method allowed was to keep both your skis parralel to each other. Then one person got way further with a new method, the "Duck type" Long Jump, where your skis form a V. This person was disqualified for not respecting the rules. Guess what? Now everyone jumps that way. I understand the possible frustrations that can arise and agree on the point to make separate leaderboards to keep the "old" HCR2 alive. I would do it if I could (and many other people apparently) but I am not a dev and ultimately, this is not my decision.
  • @Gekoloudios
    we just need someone to maintain 3-part + no-mastery leaderboards and I think a lot of competitive players won't quit, it's still not a good solution tho
  • @udindoshah980
    Max gp belike: yes 4 tuning part slot New player belike:โ˜ 
  • @RSlrur
    Seems like I predicted it, FS did ruin the fun and now thereโ€™s no turning back, Iโ€™m not coming back anymore
  • If they add some tweaks this might actually be a good update (reducing costs, having leaderboards for non-mastery vehicles just to name a few), but we all know how Fingersoft handles updates. They don't give a shit about us, those greedy pigs.
  • @yorevcuzwhynot
    Everyone is just hating on this update. If they put these on a separate leaderboard that would be fine with me. They should make it so you can still play old records on old leadboards while playing with masteries/ 4th tune slot goes on new leaderboards. It would be fun play rt with no drag and extra part for example. wheelie + kanga would be so fun
  • @SBTinTo
    they might as well just bring back flying formula
  • @Zeus-bn3nc
    There still is an intersection of players like me, I would say. I don't care for wrs that much; i just want to enjoy the game and do fun things. But also I have a well-developed account that can easily muster the (for this level, low) cost of the update. It's definitely a small slice of the player base but there are still people excited for this update, as I am, is what i am willing to bet. While the issue of leaderboard irrelevance is real, the cost aspect is a bit overblown. Today's game gives you more coins than any previous version.
  • @Crash-oo7pt
    Another thing to think about is there is simply no point in playing the other 24 cars because before long all of that gameplay will be pointless

    Just now I saw that one of the pit crews said that fingersoft is thinking of changing the update, Iโ€™m so glad I heard that
