@eno

ok bud and i didnt mean it in a bad way , just meant you might not be able to say all ( red tape and all that ) i really do hope there is other ways get these acorns. Would be so much more fun and i think gain a better refreshed track central. well help anyway.

I'm going to quickly speak my opinion here (not meant to insult or hurt anyone)

I think the Microtransactions aren't going to ruin the game. I generally don't really like that sort of stuff, but there are a few things to be considered:

1. You only pay for purely cosmetic changes! So I have to ask: What are you *****ing about?! Calm the **** down. Noone's forcing you to buy anything. You sound like a bunch of little crybabies...

2. Let's be honest, we DID get quite a lot for free, didn't we?

3. You paid 20 $/€/BP for that game. 20!!!! 40 with 6 DLCs included!!! Are you insane to complain about that?! Every other company would have charged you 60 for the "main" game and probably another 30 for the season pass! And yes, alright, multiplayer should have been included from the get go and there were some bugs here and there, but COME ON!!?!?!

4. I haven't played a game for such a long time since COD4, so in terms of value for money? I think I'm doing alright...

That set aside, I think a way to convert earnt ingame money to Acorns (on anything around a 100/1 to 1000/1 ratio) would be appropiate, but we'll see what happens there.

And of course, now all those posts will be popping up saying "but in Evo..." "but in Trials HD...". GET OVER IT! Times are changing. This is a completely different game than before. In 1990 you could buy a Volkswagen Golf for... gee, I don't know... 10,000? Now it's 2-3 times as much, yes. But it's better than the old one. It doesn't break down as much, it doesn't rust away right under your ***, it goes faster.... "but back then it was much cheaper! booohooo"

I'm not trying to crawl up Redlynx' bottom here, not trying to defend them, or anything, just saying stop complaining so much, stop only seeing the "bad" things Trials Fusion brought you and start looking at the good things. You are all crying on a very high, first-world-problem kinda level, don't you think?

(And don't you dare coming on here with 20 days of ingame play time saying "there's nothing good about it, most terrible game in history, blablabla...". I suppose if it was so bad you wouldn't have played it for that amount of time, would you?)

nice post im wondering if you could point out what bit of fusion is genuinely improved . 4 extra players on a year late multiplayer aside . thanks. and sure u dont have to buy anything but " having a carrot dangled " on your Favorite game . please

However it is obvious that almost every post in this thread has some constructive point towards the debate (...) even though people may not like this feature there seems to still be respect within the post and as a whole the entire thread

Sadly, I don't think that's true, which his the reason why I posted this. There are posts that have constructive points, but there seem to be a lot where Redlynx is just attacked for everything within the game. At least they come across as such...

However i dont think claiming everyone is crying is a very respectful way to contribute to a thread like this.

Yes, you're right about that, I was being a little general there, sorry for that.

It was alittle rude and very disrespectful to people opinions on this matter.

That honestly wasn't my intention and again, I am sorry.

I dont see how a person who has only had 6 posts (...) I think maybe you need alittle more forum time before having such a dramatic voice.

Well, I don't see how only having 6 posts has anything to do with forming an opinion? I've been on the forums quite a while now, on a very regular basis, but I've played a very passive role, reading (a lot), not writing though. When I finally felt the need to express something, I created an account and did so. Doesn't mean I'm completely new to the forum and/or have no idea what's going on.

No malice intented bud , just how i sees it

No harm done.


I might still add, that I'm tired and exhausted from nightshift and maybe I went a little over the top there and like I said I'm sorry if anyone felt insulted, that was not my intention, but at the core, all rudeness aside, I stand by my opinion.

Well, alot of bad feedback is cause it took Fusion 9 patches and 12 months to get where Evolution was at release feature wise.
And on the 10th patch we get "pimp my rider" section with bonus microtransactions.
If you are newcomer to Trials this new Awesome Max version is good as it gets, chock full of tracks, challenges, bikes etc. Best 40 bucks you can spend. No doubt about that.

Acorn thing is really win-win for Redlynx, little bit win for the players but mostly its for Redlynx.
Populate "pimp my rider" with items for little cost to develop=sell for big money=support the game longer.
I doubt its gonna make as much as Frontier with its ads and paywalls, but with a few people willing to chip in for shiny stuff, the acorns can guarantee a few more patches and feature updates.

Better graphics (apart from HD), better sound and (and a lot of you are going to crucify me for that) better handling of the bike, at least in my opinion.
It seems to me that you were hoping for a Trials Evolution 2.0, which will never happen. It's not only a new game but they also had to transition to different platforms, which meant tweaking the game engine. They couldn't just take Evo as it was and slap new features in. Also, chances are, if they did that, most people would probably complain, that they made no effort and the game is just same old same old.

Yeah i agree with alot of what you said bud and didn't reply to your post with any malice intent just when read it came across to me alittle sharp towards peoples opinions. Not sure you have to be sorry dude wasn't really what i meant but decent of you to say say either way.

I forget people like to watch lol so my bad for being ignorant to that fact too , i guess i noticed more because i too in some way wonder why people are against it so much so i guess i took interest in your post and too be honest i was thinking the same to a degree lol. Most are high skill level and will no doubt rack up the acorns within weeks.

Obvioulsy coming out of the closet with a very strong opinion towards people is going to in someway be seen worse than if you was always in the open if you get what i mean. But like i said i forget people just read and don't voice their thoughts. Maybe this is something i should take on board within this room a alittle more my self hahaha. The automated stars that the chat gives in posts can also make it seem far more malice is involved. I think anyhow

yeah no harm bud , cheers for the decent response to my reply bud and not taking my post to serious. have a good en

If you need someone to explain to you the purpose and value of criticism... then I dont even know where to begin. One example being, because my teachers criticized my writing as I was growing up, I now have the ability to type posts in online forums without rambling incoherently.

Yeah, you're right IF the criticism is constructive, which some in this thread doesn't seem to be, at least it comes across like that.

For example, "some dude" posted this earlier in the thread, which doesn't come across as rambled incoherently at all... [/sarcasm]

Ahh, what a beautiful mess this series is becoming. I wont hammer the point home, no reason to shoot the messenger.. especially since I think even the messenger already knows how ridiculous this is. Even for microtransactions these are godawful.

Sounds incredibly constructive to me...

Uh huh, well ill leave you to your trolling then. Not gonna get into a back and forth with you.

[SuperCuteWalrus]

I don't want to get into the "is micro-transactions going to kill my game" debate. BUT!!!!!!!!!!
I am worried about the way you earn acorns. If torniments are truly the only way to earn them thats fine for me. Maybe i need to place in the top 10% to get some good earnings. I can do that, but average billy who just picked up the game can't. Lets face it, Trials is not an ez game, and I'm scared that this is just another thing to scare off new players. I want more players in my game, but some of my friends are already intimidated at how hard the game could be, i feel like this may make it worse. I would like to conclude however, since i don't know exact numbers i cant say for sure anything, but this does worry me.
Just my concerns.
