    I only got 200K for Platinum !?!?

    As the title says.....I only got 200k for getting Platinum on the New Homegrown Track.....Why !?!?

    I didn't post any other time before the Platinum, so I hadn't been given any points before for getting Gold etc. I made a point of not going over the finish line until I knew I could get Platinum !!


    So, I thought I'd make a quick post to see if anyone else received the same or am I the only one to get robbed ??

    !! Thanks in Advance for ANY Help and/or Replies !!

    What bike did you use? Berserker or Donkey?

    If it was with the Donkey, then you would get only a fraction of the normal points on Homegrown and the reason for that as it's another long track and then due to the way that it's scored, it will only give you a small amount of points because the Donkey scoring is basically the same requirements for Night Life, but on EVERY track, Homegrown included, also discard what medal times are on each track as well as that plays no part in it at all.

    Requirements for Points with the Donkey on every track
    22 second time = 750,000 points
    24 second time = 500,000 points
    30.7 second time = 250,000 points

    As you can see here, the time you probably received on that track would obviously not be enough to even hit the 250,000 point mark, despite getting the actual Platinum medal, which should be the case here. Which is also the case on some of the other fairly long tracks, you do a similar time on a fairly long track like Diamond Dash or Urban Jungle as examples, then you would get a similar amount of points, since you would finish with a similar time then you did with Homegrown, and as you an also tell, it's IMPOSSIBLE to achieve a 22 second time on Homegrown, so we will NEVER get the required amount, or even on a fairly few long tracks. Even though we should get at least 750,000 points on each track since the Platinum on Homegrown is I think, 35 seconds, but we only get a few hundred thousand points out of it, and we shouldn't receive only a fraction of the required amount due to the way it's scored. And the way that it's scored should be the same as Global, as you would suspect but it isn't, but why, I don't really know.

    Meaning for all of us, we will miss out on a permanent massive chunk of points, since this track is fairly long and even if some of you do hit the 30.7 second mark on Homegrown, that's only 250,000 points, but if that was on Global with the Berserker, which is the 'normal' scoring system, then a 30.7 second time on Homegrown is about 800k to 820k points. So that's a big difference in points, over 550,000 points in-fact.

    So, yes, I received a similar amount of points as well, as would anyone else who tried the same track with the Donkey, meaning everyone has got robbed I'm afraid!

    Hope that helps. Cheers.

    Ahh ok, yeah it was on the Donkey, I done a 32sec run on Homegrown but I had forgotten how the Donkey points are given out, so 200k is about the right amount of points !!

    Cheers for the help and reminder, much appreciated, at least I've not lost any points and the leader boards aren't tripping out again !!

    Really? I'm surprised that's still even happening... We had Concealed Entryway and no-one was getting points there but RL fixed that issue ages ago... But I didn't think that issue would come back because players have been getting the points on every track after that, meaning that shouldn't happen at all... And it's extremely rare nowadays, in-fact this is the 1st time I've heard this happen again... But I don't get any points for Global anymore so I wouldn't notice the difference anyway.

    But surprisingly, I have seen players complete maybe 1 of the new tracks and haven't seen with an increase of points/score on the Donkey Leaderboards despite them completing that track with the Donkey with a sufficient time, maybe perhaps it was on Homegrown as well... I thought that was just me who spotted that and it could have been my imagination, but maybe it has happened... But I think maybe they haven't done a good time in order to get points, but I doubt that's it...

    @CZE-Barton: Could you tell us what track you did and with what bike and what times that you obtained? I could explain what might have happened... But could you tell us anyway?

    And all the more reason for a recalculation, but I doubt it would still happen anyway.

    Cheers.

    yes it happend on midnight circus new tracks, perhaps not with the regular bikes but donkey and crazy. I know about the issue with donkey, but does it apply also for crazy LB?

    Also when I get platinum and new record with Stalion and I improve my time with Stalion, shall I get some additional points (at least something)?

    The scoring system that the Donkey has is also the same for the Crazy Bikes. So the same thing applies to the Agent and Stallion.

    It depends what your times were and what they are now. If it was a Midnight Circuit track and you have a Platinum for that, then you should be getting points for that. Any 0 faulted time will give you score with the Stallion or with the Donkey or with any bike, since there aren't any faults involved with getting Platinum times in general, and there's no score to take-away since each fault is worth 100,000 points, but you don't have any faults on those tracks.

    On Bonxy's site, I do see a few Midnight Circuit times which you have done with the Stallion, but they have faults on them but on those tracks I don't think you would have obtained any points for those times in particular...

    thx for explaining, but still something is not corect...Just made gold on Homegrown with the Agent bike, I have 40 seconds with no fault and no score at all, even it says new record, after the loot wheel I didnt get any point...like i wouldn be on the internet, but Im (I can paly bunker etc)

    not sure what you saw on Bonxy, but here are few examples:
    Itchy Jaws - position 17 - 0:19:244 and 0 faults
    Endless Wealth - position 74 - 0:21:045 and 0 fault
    Nausea Night - position 19 - 0:27:836 and 0 fault

    Interesting. A 40 second time with 0 faults with the Agent is worth around 85,000 points, but you didn't get any...

    And if you did those 3 other tracks as well (Itchy Jaws, Endless Wealth and Nausea Night) and you didn't get any points for those times either, then I would only suspect that you've lost points, in-fact if you didn't see an increase in score when the Loot Wheel appeared for either track, and if you've always had an internet connection, and judging from the times you've obtained, then you've lost at least 2 million points...

    Meaning that somewhere, something has screwed up badly, resulting in a 2 million point loss, unfortunately. Somewhere where you should be getting points but you haven't... That's what I think. Sorry to say that.
