    Things to like about the new update

    So this is about the best thing that could have been done to the gifting system, and being able to gift fuel is a stroke of genius. The system is so much easier to use and only showing the '6 hours' notice for the first gift is brilliant.

    The new terracotta warrior mission are brilliant, another character that could have daily mission objectives. The new track is well designed and fun to play.

    I noticed the music doesn't start from the beginning of each song/track when you enter the bunker or leave it to go back to the town. I bet there are a bunch of subtle changes in the game, like movable objects in tracks being a lighter shade and ranks being marked on your friends in the bunker friend list.

    Can't wait to get stuck into the new Zudina missions when my showdowns finish tomorrow. That's where the other new tracks are unlocked

    Although a pink Bronco paintjob that makes the bike fart hearts isn't really my kind of thing, it probably is a welcome addition to some riders, especially some female riders, perhaps. Which is awesome in a game that doesn't really have much female orientated content.

    The huge squirrel outfit is brilliant, makes your rider sound like he's on helium, lol.

    Being able to see the percentage of riders you are better than is cool.


    What do you like about the new update?

    You pretty much covered it.


    I don't see why we can't just press one button to gift all friends with tickets/gas.

    The new missions were pretty darn easy, so I was bothered that it has an expert label on it. The last run is the only one that deserves that label.

    I really don't understand making the physics objects brighter. Takes away from the immersion.

    The rewards for getting runs in PvP suck so bad now. I like that it incentivizes players to push themselves, but the coins you get are petty.


    The roll slide that shows rank progression is a nice feature, that begs for my suggestion about global track ranks being shown on map to be implemented.

    The Great Wall track is the best thing about the update. One of the better tracks in the game, in my opinion.

    You summerized well.

    However I noticed something that I might be wrong about it. I'm feeling the bikes are slightly changed. I feel my bikes become weaker.

    I didn't start Zudina's mission in the Saloon. How much it is hard? are you playing against real players or game-controlled ones? are you sure that it will unlock the remaining three tracks?

    I have 600 gems under my belt but I'm not going to unlock the balloon soon.

    Also, I prefer that Zudina's mission will reward you chips, not coins and XP.

    Forget about UDontPlay. It is Ubi crap, not RedLynx's fault.

    llDumptruckll mentioned that the legends will get ranking bonus in the next season. So properly, legends might start at rank 15 or 10 for example.

    Personally, I didn't like the clay paintjob of the Phantom!

    This game has so much green, orange and brown colors. Don't know the reason.

    Chiron: The Zudina missions are basically like tasks you do to unlock outfits. I was expecting some cool new approach at PvP too, but it's not.

    For example: My current "mission" is:

    -Get 500 chips

    -Unlock the next PvP track (in my case the 20,000 chip one).

    -I have 85 hours

    What do I get? Only 3,000 gold and 1,500 XP

    EDIT: chips*

    "The update offers one new China specific track and 3 new tracks for PvP." This was in a different section than the Zudina missions section of the update post. To me, it reads like the 3 tracks will be won on either the bunker prize wheel or the loot wheel.

    That could mean any/all of:
    - there are 3 new PvP tracks to be bought behind Traction testground.... (ie 40K+ chips for each track)
    - there are tracks in the next seasons rank prizes (or for reaching legends).. which would mean we can earn them but not play/get them for a while....
    - tracks to win on the showdown prize wheel (a good reason to pong...)
    - It could even mean that there are tracks available for showdowns that you will only ever see in showdowns (ie PvP only).

    What make syou thnik that? (in 30 minutes I will have completed my 3rd one, and so far no indication there is anything there but a little coins and XP).

    Besides, since you have Traction, timohthey... are there any new tracks in the chip store for you? (that would eliminate one possibility, anyway)

    I agree. If anything the ghost missions on the island were harder for sure. I was pretty surprised with how much more difficult the last race was. The way the others were incredibly easy i was pleasantly surprised at how much trouble i had with the final one. the expert label certainly shouldnt scare anyone.

    I like the new squirrel suit . It took about five minute of game time (plus 180 gems), and the discounted chip prices make it worth the gems.
