    and most important is that people who have only one track have this bug ?
    I think its yellow until you get the next track (Candyland); then it turns green. Its just a display quirk.


    Now i feel like i will never get these tracks just because "random bad luck"
    Top players spending gems, no tracks?. Random players just get luck and have all tracks....?
    I'm sorry RL but this event is a nightmare to me
    The randomness of the format sucks, I have to agree. Of course, they will just come back and say to have faith, we shouldnt be upset/worried, and that its all just for fun and gifts..... wait to the end. They wont even consider that there MIGHT be a bug because they couldnt tell at this stage if there was (randomness is expected), so at this point community moderation is all about keeping us pacified. Its pretty clear thats how this event is going to go.

    Its true that we shouldnt judge too harshly until we reach the end, and that there is good odds that RL knows whats its doing. The irritating thing to me is that if in the end they find this format more profitable for them than earlier ones we can expect more of it in the future (yuck).

    There is only one thing that matters to me; whether I get all the tracks when I have put in good effort. The tracks are what the game is about and whatever competitiveness there is in the game is solely based upon everyone having a fair chance to get them all during the event. That is non-negotiable, and the one thing that drives the 3000-4000 core players in this game. Remove that, and you remove a critical aspect that keeps many of us coming back.

    Surely RL understands this and cant be dumb enough to mess with the core competitive aspect of Frontier (such as it is). But they might have...

    ...so if you feel the same as me then I suggest that when you arent earning gifts, take a little time out to document (screenshot) your event LB position at the end of each week, along with your current number of tracks... dont bother to complain on the forums unless it makes you feel better.

    It costs little to do so. If the event ends and you dont have all tracks and feel you put in fair effort, then post your weekly status for everyone to see (to let everyone else know what this game has become), and LEAVE THE GAME FOREVER. Dont look back. Thats how you tell companies they made a mistake; by taking your time/revenue elsewhere and hitting them where it hurts.

    This probably wont come to pass of course. But ironically, once I reconciled myself to this plan of action, the event has become more enjoyable (even if I only have 2 tracks).

    Been going for longer than a week and only missing a cycle when I sleep, but still only ONE track. Don't get me wrong, I like paintjobs and new outfit pieces. Gems are always welcome too and I need some spare parts for upgrading my Phantom too, but I'd rather grind for it and get new tracks instead of parts. Ridiculous.

    I know there are many of my fellow riders out there that haven't had much luck with finding the new tracks in the Gift Boxes yet, but TRY not to get stressed about it as it's not a bug because our new Community Manager has checked and confirmed this with the Devs for us.....

    The rewards are random, and I can understand it is unnerving when you are very engaged in the event but not receiving the presents you hope for.
    I checked again to be sure with the devs, and there is absolutely no bug in the event, everything is working as intended.
    So for now, I would suggest to relax, enjoy the event, and trust our RL team (and the Xmas spirit) that came up with a great event
    I would also like to point out the fact that the event is designed to reward long term engagement, so stay motivated!!

    It's definitely random though as I've had nothing but Spare Parts for the past 4 days (no gems, coins, paint-jobs etc.) but then I was lucky enough to have the next track (The Bell Pit) drop for me earlier today.....The Global Leader Board shows around 240 people have got this one so-far !!

    I still have faith that everyone will get all the tracks by the end of the event as long as we keep playing and collecting Gifts until the end.....There's still plenty of time to get them and we're all going to get a LOT more unwanted Spare Parts before the end as well, so it's pointless to keep counting them.....Try to just enjoy the game, the event and the festive holiday and you'll have them soon enough !!



    !! Merry Xmas Riders.....Hope you ALL have a Good One.....Enjoy !!

    I am so tempted to go into your account and get platinum on all those maps because that map looks disgusting.

    I don't want to sound like a jerk but:
    My average ranking for those that are not plat maps is 42 with trapeze turn my highest rank 8 and balance avneue my lowest rank 66 not including risky rooftop and that far left map since I don't have them and that one on the top left

    I think I can plat them

    Problems getting new tracks

    Anyone else having trouble getting the new tracks to drop? I have been in the top 1 % of gift deliveries both weeks, so I've gotten a ton of Christmas presents to open, but I've only gotten skaters paradise. Everything else has been bike parts, gems, coins, rarified fuel, magnets etc...
    I really don't want to miss out on the new tracks because of RNG or a bug with the tracks not dropping.
    Let me know if anyone has had the same issue.
    Merry Christmas!

    How is it harder to play tracks on android than on iOS? Are there different time requirements for plats on android?
