TWDoomMachine Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Well...To reach level 30 you have to WIN 250 games IN THE FULL LOBBY . One game is from 5 to 10 minutes including loadings etc. It figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskdocx Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The rubber band and private lobby will be your best friends. Still took 24 hours of straight boosting with a group of 6 to go from ~ level 16 to level 29. Brutal online. Needs bonus XP fast. Was fun for the first 10 hours, then became boring and repetitive. I will probably avoid DiRT 4 if it is like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew700 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I would look for a boosting session, I did up to level 25 legit and when you are playing team matches it drives me insane when someone has put a lastic band around their controller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SimplySupreme Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's such a fun game online though, dunno why you'd resort to the rubber band technique, it'll take a heck of a lot longer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always remember checking it, going out for a few hours, coming back and thinking 'Jesus, that's still going?' haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coys- Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) DiRT 3 was the same, stupid grind, rubber band helped me on that an likely will on this too, I'm only level 9 and bored of online already! Edited August 19, 2012 by Coys- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raimo666 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Main problem is that online is so DEAD at this time there i write this no one is online, and boosting thread is almost dead too. So its quite hard to rubberband against yourself I was rubbergrinding last 8hrs, one disconnection, and progress was from start of level 20 to near end of level 20. I have less than 100k fans, and requirement is 250k, so its going to take foreveeeeeeeeer, even if i play few hours per day on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morg106 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 What do you mean by putting lastic band around the controller ? Going into a lobby and then keeping R2 pressed down by any means necessary. You will never get kicked for inactivity. Myself, I have never used the elastic band, I fold up some paper and wedge it in the gap near R1 when R2 is pressed down.

raimo666 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh ok thanks. Do you get a lot of xp for it? That depends if you are boostin in 6-8 player boosting party, then yes. But if you do it in solo player when all others are driving, then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raimo666 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I got level 30 in DiRT 2 legit so I should get it in this one. Me too, that one was really easy, because there were those bonuses for doing donuts, jumping, drifting, etc... Showdown doesnt have any bonus, i just crossed halfway 129k of 250k needed, and have been boosting 40+hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this guy says: Me too, that one was really easy, because there were those bonuses for doing donuts, jumping, drifting, etc... Showdown doesnt have any bonus, i just crossed halfway 129k of 250k needed, and have been boosting 40+hrs Dirt 2 was very easy, there were lost of bonuses etc. Dirt 3 was still fairly easy, but harder than Dirt 2. Dirt Showdown however takes the biscuit, if I remember rightly the maximum fanbase you can get is 1000 per race, which means you would have to come 1st in an 8 player lobby 250 times.

Atstart when you get underdog bonus, i got 1200 few times. I just calculated how long it takes if boosted in sessions where other drivers are racings, coming last gives 200 per race, so 1250 races , if avg round would be 4mins, it would take over 80hrs, plus all disconnections/server problems... Sometimes i wonder why im a trophywhore, and second after that i continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMalicious Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I am 42% through the trophy count on Dirt Showdown, and seriously debating leaving the Plat on this one, having read about the 30 hour plus online grind. I've only just finished the Dirt 2 online grind to level 30, and the Motorstorm Apocalypse online grind, I'm not sure I can stomach another one... It's becoming a familiar pattern. Easy career mode, and stupidly insane online requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK4SF Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Playing online games yourself is a lot faster. If you pin you might only get 100 fans per race, but playing yourself you could get 1,000+ fans each race. I know it's still a grind, but Dirt 3 was soul destroying.

ChrisMalicious Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ok i got the Plat this weekend. I played legit online up to level 15, then boosted up to 30. The elastic band on R2 with a group of 8 friends doing the same will net everyone in the group 800/1000 per race, and the server never kicked us out once. We left it running for about 36 hours straight. You must stay active so you will need an elastic band or tape to hold down R2 or you will lose connection. We used the transporter game which last about 3 mins per race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just started playing today and the online has loads of players (I'm in the UK). Maybe try boosting with people contributing on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo64 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I keep getting kicked from the session after 2-3 races when rubberbanding, anyone got any ideas why thats happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMERJET Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have a theory about the rubber banding. Initially during a boost session yesterday, I got DC'd every hour or so, for the first four hours. However, now I've been boosting for 18+ straight hours with no DC'd. For the rubber banding to work, you must have R2 held down all the way AND have your left analog held at a perfect right angle. Make sure you are not hitting any other buttons or are moving the right stick any. The angle of the left analog stick and pressure applied to the R2 button seem to be vital for this to work. I use 2 rubber bands, a thick one around the left analog stick that goes around the controller on to the R2 button and a second smaller rubber band that goes over the R2 button again to give it extra pressure, put on top inside of the R2 button and the controller to give it extra pressure.

arcana75 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Online is effectively dead boosting is your only option but even then there are so few of us. Getting 200-300 fans per session... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstar184 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I hate this game so much because of this! currently on level 28 was fun untill about level 20 know its just repetitive !!! i just want it too be over!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyStar Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm level 14 and thought I was well under way but even though I'm almost half Way through the levels, I've only got about 40000 fans out of 250000 fans needed We was a boosting group of 5 yesterday who boosted over night but we all got kicked using the rubberband method I only got from level 11 to 13.
