    Nice!

    Although, let's see how gem-intensive getting the new bike 'prints will be
    But anyway the new bike will be theoretically available to all the free-players, thumbs up for that.

    YAY. Gotta love new events.

    Shame the people who paid for the Bandito havent had it that long to be worth the money yet though.

    Looking forward to getting the Bandito I don't suppose Halloween 2015 tracks will be available? Still missing some, almost 2 years of waiting ^^

    I'm a little bit disappointed that Bandito blueprints are available to get for free so soon after real money offer (yeah, you've guessed - I've bought the bike), but at the same time I'm happy that TF isn't going straight into p2w 'abyss'. And I still hope that in one of the future events/pvp seasons we will have ktm 500 blueprints as rewards. ^^

    No wonder hitting top 1% on each track was so easy! Guess my fully upgraded Bandito is a big advantage.

    It's a backward system for sure...the people who don't have Bandito will have a more difficult time getting it thanks to the people who already own it.

    I'm currently at a time of 18.028 seconds which is in the top 0.63% using a Bandito at an upgrade level of 6/6/6/6. I don't own the bike.
    Look at your friends list on the global event leaderboard, the graphic for the bike upgrade level is correct.
    All friends that had a bike upgraded over 6/6/6/6 get to use that upgraded bike, usually at 10/10/10/10.

    P.S. I should have stated that I have riden 1 track which is Rocky Desert, I'm about to tackle the rest.

    But "You Can't Always Get What You Want"... Anyway a nice event without major bugs so far, knock, knock...
    Unfortunately there's no new Tier for Bandito and KTM's. This makes the whole thing more and more messy.

    Any suggestions what to do, let Cam riding me my own Jackal in Midnight Circuit?

    I'm managing to get fairly high ranks on all the tracks (most top 50) and I haven't got Bandito unlocked so I assume everyone has same.
