Kinda disapointed with state of multiplayer
I bought the game when it cam out last yeear and happily played it for quite a while back then. I had the feeling that the inital impact back then was a bit wasted since multiplayer was not available fromt the first day ( or am i wrong, im not sure?!) Anyway, i player a couple of MP-battles last year and it was fun, but i had to wait to many tries in order to find atleast one opponent.
Since the game was free on uplay for some days i really enjoyed to play vs many players and find full lobbies on first try - very fun! But now since i played 15-20 round i have to say that i am not to happy with the choices about the map choices in ranked modes. Just as a sidenote, i finished most of the tracks in normal "career mode" on gold, only a few extreme maps are missing - and im being far away from playing ninja maps! With the recent possibilites in matchmaking a climbed quite quickly to the diamond ranks but only playing vs another plat/dia rider once or twice. So the maps i can choose from playing against other players are mostly (90%) beginner or easy maps and i would not have a problem in general playing these maps if they would not repeat so fast, or if there would be more at least medium maps to choose from. From my personal experience i can tell, that even newish player mostly choose the harder difficulty if possible.
So to conclude: My current experience in Trials Rising MP is just playing beginner and easy maps where the key to win is rather your general skill than more just knowing when to take a jump full speed or brake a bit before the leap in order to reduce air time and bad landing - not so fun! If i had the chance to give an idea how i would it like to b work id say remove all the beginner maps from the MP and only make easy maps for bronze elo. Only speaking for myself now, but i`d be happy with a bit longer queueing times if then the other riders would be more of the same elo and then having to drive hrder maps!
Merry Chrsitmas everyone!
