Default What do you do after an event?

Once you complete an event what do you do? Personally I start exploring, see if there are any smashes I have missed close to me, then jump straight into another event.

Default Playing moods

I tend to play in moods, so when I am in a racing mood I will look for the next race or burning route event.

When in a Road Rage mood I will do road rages and marked man events.

When in a stunt mood, I will look for the next stunt run or go exploring for that last smash and super jump.

offline i go to the nearest open event because I DO NOT go all the way back to the one i started. (ive did it once because i wanted to get the thunder customs burning route done right away)

Online i explore for those last billboards, smashes and jumps that i dont really care to go searching for hours for, maybe i will get them all in the next month or so? I have found shortcuts on tracks that my friends and i have ran hundreds of times and we had never seen or noticed. They get all crazy when i cut off our regular path using a new shortty... "DANGIT THERE GOES TWENTY AGAIN" lolol

It depends really, if I have spent a lot of time in an area and have explored as much as there is to explore I'll look for another event. If I haven't spent a lot of time in a particular area I'll see if I can find any gates left to smash or any remaining Super Jumps before starting another event.

I've only got stuntruns left to do for events, and I struggle to do them! but I used to drive around and look for billboards and smashes, still have a few to do now so spend a fair bit just cruising and showtime while looking

Depends, if I'm trying to get my next license I just continue to another event. If I'm doing burning routes I do it, go back to the garage get a new car and do that one.

As I got Elite now, I go exploring and checking out each area for the 3 super jumps I have overlooked.

Also need to get the 360 degree flatspin and 20 burnout chain challenges.

for the flatspin try the quarry jump! most i ever got from there is 601degree

for 20x burnout out chain try the baseball stadium, (get into a long spinning skid and boost like mad!)

If your looking for a big flatspin, try the Dam instead. I have a top of 1,200* with the Hot-Rod.

Personally I explore and do events as I find them then explore some more. I have found that stunt events are some what difficult but I still have a go.
I have 2 smashes to find and they are doing my head in. I'll find them eventually but that's part of the fun of Burnout. I own ALL the burnout titles and noticed that the voice of Stryker in burnout 3 is the same as Atomica in paradise. How wierd is that.

Often I get really really bored, because all the events at the destination I just arrived at I already did.

I understand the reasoning for not having a restart option but I am glad to hear that one is supposedly coming. Once you have done a large percentage of the events its far more important as you can't just "do other events on your way back" as there might not be any to do.

It depends really. Sometimes, I'm in the mood to explore around the city, and sometimes I feel more inclined to get another race added to my license.
