    wohoo just bought them! Interesting to see the world map shows over 10 million players on Android, but only 101 on Overdose. Ten million vs 101... lol just play the track once and you´re "in the top 100"...

    Both tracks are very good,like them and the best part is that we could buy them with chips which were of no use for a really long time and now RL should think of the huge stash of coins which we have.

    Wow, that's expensive. That pretty much drains me of chips, and I have been off and on collecting them since I unlocked Traction Testground....like a year ago!

    If they add any more I won't be able to buy them until 2017 judging by how long it takes to build up 50,000 chips.

    Awesome. I really thought they were done with the chip shop so I just bought diamonds and tickets with all my chips lol. But I would rather have something to work towards than nothing at all

    DAMN IT.....I stopped playing for chips once I FINALLY managed to unlock Traction Testground, so I've got a LOOONG way to go AGAIN !!


    Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the New Tracks (always) BUT.....Why are they so damned expensive, least they could do is increase the amount of Chips we can win per showdown, otherwise I'm not going to get them until 2017 (as justinman said above)

I think pricing tracks at 20k for any future releases is the highest fair price they should offer them at. Higher than that would become too daunting, lower and it would be too easy to get them. Just my .02
    Longshot Lake and Overdose were 45000 and 50000 chips respectively, the way I see it, I think they will increase the cost of future tracks, the pattern of how much by is unknown, but I also see how RL might put the future Bunker tracks down to 20000, or even lower, but since those 2 tracks were higher amounts then Traction Testground, they might keep rising them up. But as much as I want it to not increase, but I think that will be the way it goes, although 20000 chips a track seems fair, it's quite a respectable and a reasonable amount of chips to obtain imo.

    Back in the day, we were obtaining 500 chips per showdown, but most of the Seasons had showdowns which lasted 24 hours, which was daunting and we could do 1, 2 or 3 of those at a time, so we were obtaining 500 to 1500 chips per day or around there at best, which isn't that sufficient in terms of obtaining chips.

    Now after Xmas 2015, we had more free Showdowns, less Showdown time like 3, 4, 5 or 6 hour showdowns, and most importantly, which a few players won't realise is we have a PERMANENT double chip rate, so I think a few players might not realise that they were getting more chips then they did before! Instead of obtaining 500 chips in 24 hours, it's now about 400+ chips in a space of 3 to 4 hours per Showdown, and you can obtain the 1st 300 chips in 90 minutes, which is good going. So the amount we could get right now is a lot lot more than we could before. We could hit about 2000, 3000, 4000 or even 5000 chips a day, in theory those 50000 chips could come in a matter of days. It's about the amount of Showdowns you can do in a day, and the amount of chips you can obtain in a single showdown, and either way, the amount we can get has significantly amplified compared to previous Bunker seasons.

    Say if you did 3 sets of 5 showdowns every 5 hours, so 15 showdowns everyday, and you get 450 chips in each Showdown, mathematically, that is 6750 chips per day. Of course, there is no way that players will continuously and constantly keep that up, so it won't be 6750 chips everyday, so let's say a more reasonable amount like 3000 to 4000 chips per day. If justinman114 wants to get 50000 chips, it will take him between 12 and a half days and almost 17 days to hit 50000 chips, at a rate of 3000 to 4000 chips per day if he wishes to get that amount. Although if it was at a rate of 6750 chips per day then it would only take almost 8 days to obtain those 50000 chips, but rarely anybody could be able to manage to do that though but it's possible. But it won't take months to get 50000 chips, it's a matter of days though but it depends on how many showdowns players do. Basically, the more showdowns you do, the more opportunities for players to get more chips. (Note that I haven't taken wins or Ping-Ponging into account.)

    And even so, it could be a while before the next Bunker track could come out, so we should have some time to get some more chips before the next one appears.

    Cheers.
