So I saw a halloween track pack in the store with 5 tracks...

I notice there are 13 tracks that were released from halloween 2015 event.

I was wondering will the event be redone so we can get these missing 8?

I'm in a mission to get all tracks so would be nice to know if I need to buy more gems or I will be able to get it from event.

Thanks.

Isn't it like 500 gems for these tracks? If so, and ignoring the fact you have to wait for the rest to be released, that will be very expensive to get them all. Prices for tracks just keep getting higher and higher. Originally I thought the 5 tier 1 hardcore tracks (repairing the bridge) was expensive at 95 gems. In fact, I was pretty surprised they had a price at all. However, these tracks work out at 100 gems a pop, which, in my opinion, is pretty overpriced.

Yes it's extremely over priced for sure.

I've bought the 2 treasure hunt tracks for 90 gems each from the shop the last few days also.

It's costing so much I doubt many will pay that much for them :P

There was another similar thread where someone said 'when were these Halloween tracks were going to be made available?', so he literally asked the same question as you did VeNoMz, and someone in TFG gave this reply to him/her:

On the TF facebook page K4KSHI asked the same thing (your 1st question) and they answered that the tracks will be available separately in the daily shop soon!

If that 'they' is who I think it is then I believe you won't have to wait much longer... The only question that remains should be obvious... But I'll say it anyway, how much would a track cost? I think 100 gems is highly excessive and quite insane imo, but we ARE at that stage where it's now 100 gems a pop, which is totally crazy! Even 50 gems is excessive, but recently those tracks in the shop that players were getting were 40/50 gems apiece, which might be the going rate, but who knows? Either way, if you need 8 tracks from that event, then get ready to use an overly-excessive amount of gems again! (Sorry, VeNoMz.)

Also, looks like you found out about a few of those 'Treasure Hunt event' tracks from the news section and you've bought them as well, I would keep a look out there from time to time to see if those tracks have appeared/made available, but now it shouldn't be long... Hopefully. And 90 gems a track? I'm so glad I'm up to date with the tracks, I feel bad for those who have to be spending a ton of gems for those tracks, it's an unfair amount imo... Not to mention off-putting as well...

Cheers.

@Heaverbeaver,

Yup it is way too much for sure.
I did what I thought I would never do, and spend real money on gems so I didn't miss out on the halloween tracks for another year. I'm completely fine with giving Redlynx my money as I've spent 1,000s of hours on their games for such a little price, I just loved the challenge of trying to get all tracks without spending real money, but I would have had to wait another year and who knows what the price of them would be in a year's time!

I'm glad they will be made available soon, it'd be nice to get another 8 quick tracks, then another 10 or so at christmas and I'll be only 20 or so from getting them all.

I am wondering about tracks such as metal mayhem that were given from the bunker as a reward, I guess these will be put into the shop or as a bunker reward again at some point, would be really nice to know that I can get them in future.

Thanks

200 gems a track in a years time, maybe?!? Although I think those Halloween tracks were going to be there permanently, just like on some others, so I don't think that you would be able to miss out on them ever again. I'm actually surprised that you actually spent actual money on gems, but I hope it was a Tapjoy task or a bundle, if you have to resort to spend money, use it on a cheap bundle or on Tapjoy, it's never worth buying a gem bundle because the other methods are more worth doing and more for your money, but you should have held on a little while longer... Oh well.

I think it's only logical that they do the same thing with the Christmas 2015 tracks, so that they give you the option of getting them as well, at Christmas or maybe slightly before-hand. And there is 11 of those tracks as well.

As for Metal Mayhem, it kind of sucks for most people knowing that they couldn't get it because it was a Rank 1 prize and only a few hundred or so people obtained that while the rest of you guys who don't have it will have to wait until an unknown date. RL should release that track in the shop soon as well or via the Loot Wheel, or maybe as a Bunker reward again but this time put it as a Rank 9 or a Rank 15 reward, or something like that, maybe... They could do that with some of the other missing tracks too, but I wonder if they could juggle all that with the blueprints for the special bikes for those who still need them? It's a suggestion but it will probably end up being everyone spending even more gems on those tracks, yet again.

It's a bit disturbing that the cost for all these tracks are so excessive, I just wonder how players would get through buying all these tracks with so many gems required, well you're right there in this situation VeNoMz, but you're making it look possible, somehow... I would say keep getting those gems any way you can, but try not to resort to spending actual money if possible. You will never stop needing them at this rate until you've got them all... But every missing track will be added, I'm pretty sure that they will be made available otherwise it wouldn't be fair to those who are always missing out... The only thing left is when will each and every specific track be made available again, I don't know, but keep looking out for them as well, the same way you found those Treasure Hunt tracks, and keep waiting I'm afraid, but you'll get there, as for the other players who will need them as well. Patience is required as well as a megaton of gems...

Cheers.

@heaverbeaver115,

Sadly I did just buy a gem bundle. From what countless people have told me, sometimes they don't even receive the gems for completing the offer and have to go through a very long task of trying to contact tapjoy to get them.
If I do need to buy more I will definitely get a tapjoy offer though, if anyone has any good ones that have worked for them please do tell me as it would be nice to get a lot more for my money.

Thanks

Some people do not wait after the task has been completed as it does take time for the whole process to be registered and finished and if you are back in the shop, then it takes only a few seconds more, then it will give you the gems, unless you have waited and somehow you still don't get the gems but I think that's rare, but it does happen, and it's the same thing when buying a gem bundle, sometimes you pay for something and then you don't get what you purchased, but again that's quite rare as well.

I thought you were using Tapjoy a lot, but does it not give you any more tasks that you can do? I think that if you can, try to stick with the tasks that you've been doing, the ones where you don't have to resort to use any money, but as you can see, there are a few which have gem rewards in the thousands or very near a thousand which require little money for a task, but I would say use your best judgement and play it by ear if you have to use money. Not sure about what specific tasks to try because I don't use it but they tend to change the tasks from time to time, and the gem amounts as well, quite recently the amount of gems was higher for a short time but now it's back to normal, although it wasn't labelled as a 'double gem event' which is quite odd.

Cheers.

It seems this Halloween pack just disappeared from shop today without prior notice. Maybe because new Halloween event is coming, or maybe RL is planing to release these tracks in daily shop. Who knows. But it's sad anyway.

The current Halloween track pack you have seen might have been available for a limited time, but RL were going to release all 13 Halloween tracks that was only available last Halloween in the shop soon, meaning that there is no need to have that track pack available, and that track pack only had 5 tracks in anyway so instead you might get to see all 13 tracks separately in the shop, and it should be tomorrow since that's when the event is starting, as well as an update, I think.

Cheers.
