    New Features Proposal: Endless & Dailys

    Endless is a mode many mobile games possess today, and I think Trials could take advantage of it well. Coming up with an algorithm to build a random long track wouldnt be so hard and it could add a lot to the game. I'm sure the players would be happy to see a new mode, and especially this one could captivate players for a while.

    A daily is a specific way to make playing a certain game (which is usually randomly generated) identical between players. This way they can see their progress and skill compared to other players. Of course Trials already has this, with its extensive leaderboards, but a daily is a good middle between the battle between all players in the global leaderboards and the 1v1 in the bunker. Trials could do a daily for an endless track, say you get one fault, and there would be a nice leaderboard for furthest ditance, or most checkpoints reached.
    There are other games that do this very well, granted they are solely random, and incorporating a daily was easier for them, but I know redlynx can make this feature work, if they wanted.

    Also, an observation: why are coins gained on a track tied to checkpoints? Shouldn't we get a certain amount of coins from a course no matter if we missed a checkpoint? If anything, there should be a way to get extra coins in secret locations on a track or something plus the end-track coinage.

    Nice ideas mate.....Let's hope that someone at RedLynx decides to read this and implement them or something similar for us in the NEAR future, as I know there are many players that are finding the game a bit stale now that they've completed everything, so a new game mode etc. like that would definitely breath new life into the game for them.....Gotta keep things fresh with variety, challenge and competition !!

    Looking forward to the next update anyway !!

    i dont usually read long post but i like this one, i want to see this in the game
    also it would be great something like: "showdowns with friends" it wouldnt count as the bunker season so no star rewards from it, but just pure fun with your friend (im tired of "hey lets open a showdown in the same time!")

    Great idea
    One thing I would like to add is after every race in bunker or after every showdown end we could send a message or an emoji(like beating u was piece of cake or a sweating emoji to say can't beat u)

    But all means, your proposal is the great one, but do understand they might take the worst of it and make the new "feature" out f it... my personal POV.

    +1 to your proposal, it's really worth the implementation (AS PROPOSED) so to freshen up the game!

    An Endless mode would be cool, but I think I would first prefer the Tournament format like EVO had (ie 3-4 tracks you must race in a row where you get a total score... with LB). Conceptually, its not Its not that different from showdowns, really (those are a set of 3 tracks, after all) so I would think they could get it implemented easier than Endless. I would LOVE an official global LB for the tournament of Permafrost+Quagmire+Traction Testground+Balance Avenue.


    I also like the following (which they ALMOST got right in Frospocalpse):

    A week-long contest over 3-4 chosen tracks, with LB. Top percentage of contestants get a prize at end of week and then a brand new contest starts. . . .with an empty LB once more.

    Doing it daily would be okay too. . .but I would rather have a longer contest with bigger prizes than a daily mission that essentially degrades into another form of Prospector Mission.


    Trials could do a daily for an endless track, say you get one fault, and there would be a nice leaderboard for furthest ditance, or most checkpoints reached.
    Yeah, that is an interesting take on what the ending restrictions would be; its a lot like the driving-related "skill games" that EVO had, where you could:
    - Ride as far as possible when stuck on full throttle.
    - Ride as far as possible but not touch the front wheel down on parts of the track.
    - Farthest jump possible.
    - Highest jump possible.
    - Climb a hill with ever-increasing difficulty and see who gets the highest.

    I would like those kind of contests added too.
