    Rampant Ramps is an almost identical copy of Spider Kingdom

    See title. The Halloween props have been removed, but save for one bridge that's been removed from Spider Kingdom, the track is identical. Not a 'remake' of any sort, but Spider Kingdom minus props plus one minor element change.

    Recently reinstalled this game after stopping playing at the start of this year because it had been a buggy mess for too long. Thought I'd give it a whirl again this last week, but it seems the dev team are only getting worse, not better. Instantly uninstalled again.

    This unfortunate trend of copying previous tracks is a VERY strong signal that this game is barely getting support/manpower at Ubi. Its days must be almost over; every knowledable employee has apparently moved on to other games (hopefully another Frontier-like app) and left behind a skeleton crew to maintain.

    Better to not release copies, IMO. Let the game go down with sone dignity....

    This is such a joke. This game used to be really good and now it's just a money grab, and it's pathetic what they are doing to it and its players. I am shaking my smh.

    Wow. I actually thought it was just a glitch or something along those lines that would get corrected eventually. This just feels shady.

    Wow! Is this a joke or are they just messing with us? How dare they call that a new track? Even if they used the same line and reskinned the background or something. Someone earned their paycheck that day.

    I suspect everyone who filled in the survey probably said they wanted more tracks (I know I did), and now they've run out of original and held back content, they're just repurposing old stuff as new. I haven't seen any of them yet (or have I?), but there's no point adding a sh*t load of new tracks if they're not actually different. Quality over quantity every time.

    It would be better to use the existing tracks in new ways, like tournaments (Trials players will know what I mean), I'm sure they've been mentioned before. Tournaments would give way more replay value, Ultimate Endurance from Trials HD anyone?

    Slightly OT; I don't know about anyone else, but I struggle to find tracks these days when I want a particular one, the old stuff I usually find ok (though some have moved from their original positions) but newer stuff I can't find, I guess I just haven't played them enough. As boring as it may be, I think I would prefer them to be categorised (beginner, medium, hard etc) and listed like HD was, maybe it's just me.

    I hope for correction also... hopefully they just remove points earned from those tracks and replace them with totally diffrent ones.

    we will mark the copied tracks at the trackmap (maybe on bonxy's page too) and where they comes from!
    if they are out of ideas, make it like the track names competition via facebook and twitter.
    we have enough ideas, i guess.



    here is mine

    cheers
