    New Octoberfest Track - copy of road to ruins?!

    The New Octoberfest Track pack contains a Track that is called "Hopfenhüpfer" in german. It is basically a copy of "road to ruins"
    Selling copies of old tracks ... Thanks a lot.

    Other two are copies too. And bunker reward track too. And next 5 tracks they planning to release are copies too.

    Ahaaaa, that's why I had a "de ja vu" feeling as I was running on that track.
    What are the analogues of the other two OktroberFest tracks?

    It's not really a copy (despite looking identical at the start). It looks like it was built with a track editor using other track sections. I like it though, it's a fun rhythm track.

    Agreed that its very similar (but still fun, with some of its own quirks). If they had at least rearranged the major components a little it would have been less shameless. After 260+ tracks though, it would be kinda hard for ME to keep making truly "fresh" tracks, so I cant hold it against them too much. Honestly, there are probably about 40-50 different "riding scenarios" that are common to all tracks, IMO .... like "must bunnyhop over exploding barrel in your path to land on narrow ledge right behind it". etc. Every track just consists of variations of those same scenarios repeated over and over again in different placements.

    All that matters to me is that it is challenging when they are done with it (although I REALLY wish they had a Frontier Track Central where we could make/share our own tracks and unleash the track creativity of our own community)

    all 3 are almost exact copies of previous ones: acrobat quarter, road to ruins and lost descent
    260+ tracks are different to each other so you can make tracks that are not similar

    Exactly. The sheer blatant lying is just pathetic IMO.

    What are we even doing here?

    Please someone at RL take this into consideration for extending the life of this game or for any future mobile Trials game.

    Scenarios - yes and there is nothing wrong if they repeats. But for me every track is piece of art. Every track have unique details, elements, features that cut into memory. And those copypaste tracks are just like cheap fake copies of masterpieces. I think this is demonstration of disrespect to the players.
