    Xmas event geared towards novice players

    Playing this event is terrible, all i want is new tracks. Maybe some paint jobs. But constantly getting parts that i have no use for. Random sucks. Im going to play the game anyway. No need to torture me with this random stuff. Play all day just to get parts, gems, coins. THATS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING FOR OVER A YEAR.

    Hello JUSTGREEN.NI,

    I think the Xmas event should be seen as light and funny extra content that can give you little gifts along the way, like an advent calendar XD
    Ofc there is also the possibility to win great rewards, like new tracks or paint jobs, but it has to be an event accessible to everyone.
    I hope you'll get lucky with the random

    WOW.....Shocking.....Sorry, but it's got to be said.....I thought we had more of a mature community here, what's with this ungrateful attitude.....Everyone wants everything straight away.....No patience at-all !?!?

    I mean no offense at-all.....I just don't understand.....Why so impatient !?!?

    Seriously, Chill out people, it's Xmas and the event hasn't long started either, so there's PLENTY of time to collect everything (around 20days left I think) so you're going to get a lot more parts between now and then PLUS everyone will get the new tracks and the other items in that time as well.....RedLynx will have geared it so that we don't get everything right away, this way we keep playing the event until the end, so I can't see them making it so that some people don't get some of the new tracks or items, as long as we play through the whole event we'll get everything eventually !!

    There's no point shouting and moaning because you haven't got everything instantly, because if you did, then the event would become pointless !!

    If you already own most of the items then you're going to get more parts unless they decide to tweak the prizes as the event progresses (which I hope they do) as they won't give out 2 & 3 of the same item but every now and then we get a new track or item we don't have but other than that it's going to be parts for now !!


    My advice is to just relax and enjoy the event and the festive holidays as well.....It could of been a lot worse as they could of gave us another crazy and boring grind-fest event but they didn't, this event is a lot more laid back which allows us to play and win new items and tracks while not messing with our real lives, I prefer this event structure, more laid back and less stressful, So I say.....


    Thank You RedLynx Team and Merry Xmas to EVERYONE.....Enjoy !!

    Would be good/helpful if we could Gift Spare Parts to people on our Friends List that need them or be able to sell/swap them in the Shop !!

    A trading system would certainly be cool, and would bring the community even closer I think, but it might be a big task for RL to handle.

For those of us who care about the competitive part of Trials (which to be honest is the biggest part) this really sucks, and is poor game design.
    Exactly. There are a lot of people, including me, that still only have the free track everyone gets at the beginning. That means we've gotten 0 of the 6 rng tracks in the first week of this event. Unless they change the drop rate, most people will not be getting all 7 tracks by event end no matter how much they play. This isn't about impatience. It's the fact we haven't gotten anything at all so far.

    Also, no offense, but fatal, you wouldn't be singing the same tune if you hadn't gotten those 4 tracks already. You've gotten half the event tracks by week one while a lot of us are at 0.

    It's a good point. I will pass 30k points before these 1st 7 days are done; in the top 10 out of 117K players for the week.

    That's 73 attempts. Only got the one free track at start. I know I need 6 tracks and 7 outfit parts... But I have not seen one in over a day. Honestly... If the drop rate stays about this constant... I might NOT get them all in the 21 days left. And then there are people (not naming anyone specifically) with half those attempts who might have 4 tracks already....

    Look we all know the tracks are the only IMPORTANT content for most of us. I am not panicking yet, but I am a little pissed. What kind of contest does not reward the leaders for... Leading? Seems like I can "win" but still lose. I use my skill and am far behind in all the places that matter.

    At what point should we stop calling it randomness that will all work out in the end... And start considering that perhaps it's a bug? I don't think we are there yet, but I would like to hear someone who is currently happy provide a date at which even they think I can officially be concerned....

    Or better yet. Just get a Dev response to tell us that they KNOW this will all work out if you just try hard (like I am). That's all I am wanting.
