    Can you really blame people for "spamming this forum with the same question on a regular basis" though? Your team made a commitment to this community. Beginning April 2017 your team were suppose to open a topic related to the Trials series for discussion. That stopped after just three months.. Of course people are going to continue to ask questions. Honestly? If it wasn't for the spam I doubt we would be receiving any new information about the series soon. I'm still not entirely confident that Trials Garage will be updated before the end of October. Trials Garage seemed so genuine when your team first introduced the concept to us but now I wonder whether it was just a way to subliminally control what was being said about the future of the series within our community. But that is just my own opinion. Maybe some other members of the community are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

    I will commend your team for continuing to communicate via streams for the past four years. I personally cannot watch these live as the streams begin in the very early hours of the morning for me. I am aware there are VODs of these streams I could watch later but it's not the same experience as watching them live. I assume that any important information in relation to the future of Trials said in those streams would be echoed through this forum anyway.

    My issue is with the lack of communication from your team on Trials Garage. We don't even know why communication on Trials Garage was put on hold in the first place. Anyway, hopefully updates/topics do make a return and stick around this time, we'll just have to wait and find out I suppose.

We recently posted a status update to the Trials Garage forum with a new topic on the way before the end of the month. We are active on our various social channels daily. Just because you have not heard one specific piece of news you want to hear does not mean that we are not communicating. Further, spamming this forum with the same question on a regular basis is not going to make news come any faster.

    We welcome your feedback within Trials forums, but we must ask that you keep your posts civil and constructive. We cannot stress this enough, inappropriate posts and jokes about harassment will not be tolerated on these forums and further action will be taken.
    Live streaming isn't a selfless labor of love for the community, it is mostly a form of advertisement for the game.

    People shouldn't have to follow you on social media (which is another form of advertisement) to get information about the game. That is what the forums are for.

    The communication isn't of any use to us. All we want to know is information regarding the next game.

    None of the posts are coming off as uncivil. We have been waiting for a year now after being promised information.

    So, now we're the bad guys because you have broken your promise.

    Sigh. We don't even want 'specific' information, we just want ANY information regarding a new game, just as we were promised last summer.

    There seems to be miscommunication here. Let me clarify for DrPink.
    I know you just arrived, but this lack of follow through on Ubisoft for information on the next title has been ongoing for at least a year.
    Trials Garage comes out and people waste a few months with that and follow through was nonexistent on your company's end.
    Streams and contests have nothing to do with this. We are all more than aware of the stream and twitter, etc...which yield nothing in terms of communication on the next title.
    Games that are much larger than Trials handle their release of information in a professional manner. That's all people here are interested in...proper follow up.
    The streams are a great place to address the next title, Trials Garage, etc. MP is fun and all, but wouldn't it be more beneficial to set aside 15 minutes every week for the betterment of the franchise?
    I also read earlier in this thread about DrPink "checking with the community team" and getting back with us on what had been discussed in the thread. One full month later and DrPink is speaking about streams and social media? How is this good communication?

    I know everyone is wanting information regarding the next Trials title, but as of this moment, I haven't got anything to share. If you're not watching the streams, I would encourage to do so. It would give you the chance to interact with the Community Developers, and from to time, members of the development team. You can use this opportunity to take part in the discussions and ask questions.

    Thanks for pointing that out. We all know about the weekly streams. They don't discuss the future title, so there is no conversation to be had.
    What were your finding when you spoke to the "community team" this past month?
    I'm assuming you weren't allowed to give any information...sounds about right.

    I know the Trials Garage is about the future title, but the follow up there has been just as dismal. I realize you just hopped on the Titanic and are now realizing it
    Not your fault...thanks for the communication...even though you aren't allowed to say anything. This usually has to do with the higher ups and not the people handling the forum or weekly streams. It is what it is...a shame.

    I've noticed a lack of everything community related since Shifty left RedLynx.

    These forums are a mess. The community (from a few different threads I thumbed through today) is seemingly becoming unhinged. The simple lack of transparency between RedLynx and its community in regards to any news about a new game is non-existent which surprises nobody.

    As far as I know, I'm still permanently muted on "The Official" RedLynx Twitch stream compliments of my main man ShiftySamurai -- the utmost savage of all savages.

    In terms of watching the RedLynx stream though, it is widely known to be a waste of time to ask about anything related to a new game. Upon entering the stream, a generic message should appear that reads "DISCLAIMER: Asking questions about a new game on stream will result in the following -- One, you will be ignored or two, you will be ignored, your comments will be erased, and you will be muted."

    The bottom line is that regardless of where you go to discuss a new game or any updates as to when and what to expect from RedLynx, there's really no discussion to be had.

    Welcome to the community DrPink.

    Oozi. I'm not sure if you know, but there is a Trials Garage section where they ask for feedback for the next Trials game. It was started April 11, 2017 and has 4 topics currently up. There was a single topic to elaborate on for 3 consecutive months, then a 3 month break from all the feedback. And has now started back with a new topic "difficulty". I encourage you to take part. It seems like people are really enjoying it.
    I just went through some topics there and realized...there actually isn't any information regarding a release or in general on the next possible title. Maybe 2018? You just can't rush things like this.

    @CoolRider -- What's up man? I thumbed through that thread. I don't see a whole lot that I could contribute that hasn't been suggested already. Looks to me as though the community has covered it all. There was a lot of information to try and take in and I'm WAY TO LATE for that party. One thing that I've suggested in the past that I would continue to advocate for is team building in the editor. For example, one person could be doing deco in the background while another person works on the driveline at the same time, on the same track etc. I think it would be difficult for Ubi to figure out how to get this to work but if they did, I'd be impressed.

    @VEGAS -- Don't you mean oozie? Where's that phantom E at the end of my gamertag that you always use that I've never had? Man you've missed so much information. Bro where do I begin? Trials Evolution 2 is dropping this fall. The game will be free across all platforms. Leaderboards will be removed from the game on Trials tracks and will only display leaderboard standings for the 4-wheeler and unicorn tracks.

    It doesn't surprise me that you were suspended though. If I had to guess, one would assume that you were suspended for being so handsome and muscular. But how could a man, a featured builder, a recipient of a Trials Fusion t-shirt, get suspended? You sir, should be untouchable. I feel like a crime has been commited here and I demand an investigation followed by answers.
