    Nothing for a long time, see below


    - Moments where you’ve felt well-rewarded in an event or in the game
    When I was a new player, It seems the longer you play the game the worse the rewards are. There are a lot of tracks, paintjobs and outfits in the game. If people are missing any then these should be given as rewards. You really shouldn't be giving nuts and bolts to players who's bikes are fully upgraded.

    - Any suggestions/ideas for the rewards in the game
    Lots



    I love the game and I think its terrible how you reward track's to a limited number of players completely at random. This is totally unfair. You should make tracks available to everyone who takes part in an event, event winners should be given things that do not have an effect on the leaderboard's. If you cant do that you should at least make it clear what rewards are available and not just issue random rewards.

    The last event players were playing for top 1% as "top 1% gives you the best chance for rewards", what a load of crap. Most players who were in the top 1% didnt get any tracks. I was in the top 10% and got 1 track.

    I love the MC events and other events I just think it’s really bad how you issue tracks. Long-time players not receiving a track or tracks can seriously effect leaderboard position. You will find a lot of these players who are constantly affected are also the players who spend a lot of real money on outfits and paintjobs, loose these players and you lose money. Keep long time players happy AND YOU WILL KEEP GETTING THEIR MONEY.

    I personally think that all tracks should be given to players for taking part in the event. If you can’t do that at least have some constancy when issuing tracks and make it clear in game.

    If 100,000 players play an event the top 1% (1000 players) should be given the "main event prizes", paint jobs and outfits. Top 10% (10,000 players) should be given "good" rewards, top 50%(50,000) players should get coins, tickets and gems. All players should receive any new tracks.

    I am only going to use Android as an example, I imaging the numbers on iOS are similar.
    You should just be able to see by the numbers above that a game with 10 million downloads on Android even if you issued the track to 100,000 event players that’s only 1% of android players. That would leave 99% (9,900,000) players missing the track. You could then make the track available in the daily shop for a reasonable price, say 50 gems. Keep your prices low and more people will buy.

    In the UK 200 gems costs £3.49 so 50 gems works out around 88p (£0.88). If you were to make all missing tracks available for 50 gems each, 1 million tracks bought for gems would make you around £880,000. Considering you have already made the tracks so it costs you nothing to give them to players that’s not far off £1 million profit.

    This is just my suggestion how to keep long time players happy, I hope someone has a read and maybe gets back to me. If you want to see who much joy the game brings to people and how annoying your current reward system is you should check out the "Trials Frontier Group" Facebook page.


    This is a message I typed up a few weeks ago. Since it was typed up you did offer 2 new tracks in the daily store, it was good that it was a few days after the event, it was bad as more people should have had them already.

    Favourite reward: During a 3-leg Midnight Circuit this year, I got six tracks, two per leg. It was amazing! These were old tracks that I had no opportunity to obtain due to being relatively new to Trials. I've been playing for over a year, have been a consistent 1% player and still have many missing tracks.

    Tracks are the heart of Trials, please give everyone the opportunity to obtain all tracks eventually. I'm not suggesting that you give the tracks away. By all means, make us work for it. The global leaderboards are a joke because most players don't have all tracks.

    Using the latest MC as an example, telling us there is a "very high chance" of getting tracks as a reward was a disaster. Please don't do that! Also, offering the two new tracks (that most of us didn't get as reward) for 240 gems was a punch in the face. Seeing other players randomly given something so valuable while making the rest of us pay for it is not a good way to improve player relations.

    Moving forward, I'd like to see the following reward changes made:
    1) Balance reward "values" across a given tier. Don't give some players tracks when others only get rusty parts.
    2) Please consider offering a 100% chance of an old released track in MC/Bunker when a player achieves a certain milestone (e.g. top 1%, Bunker Rank 1, etc.). Donkey donuts and coin magnets are useless after a certain point. Releasing one old track per month would still leave me with over a year before I "complete" the puzzle.

    As an aside, it would be awfully nice if we didn't have to pay full price for a track pack when we already own some of those tracks.

    Best reward? There can be only one choice - Donkey Doughnuts after unlocking and 100% upgrading Donkey, Stallion and Agent bikes!

    .. NOT

    Tracks! They make the game fun again! The constant grinding tends to get old.

    - Moments where you’ve felt well-rewarded in an event or in the game.
    Beating butch, Terracotta rider, ANBA, and other in-game challenges. MC and events are great, too. Loved the BMW event!

    New challenges! Its been too long since there's been a Terracotta rider or a Butch mission.
    Make the tracks attainable at the least! I've got none left to buy in the daily shop and am working buying ones with chips in TB.
    LET ME UNLOCK THE KTM 500 RALLY! Put some of the blueprints on the Slot Machine or introduce a new challenge to get the BP pieces. Its difficult to be competitive in that Tier without it.

    rewards

    Bunker: some of the seasons do not have thaaat good rewards, so basically in this point, i can choose the seasons i will spend my tickets or no. I’ve been reaching 4th position, and I’m technically confortable with what I’ve been winning, I’m just sure you must give us parts with better levels to upgrade our bikes.

    Slot machine: the players that reach the final level (31) in it should be rewarded with no “Butch faces”, cause what we really need when we’re in high levels is suport to upgrade bikes. I mean gems, money and donuts, and honestly, I don’t think players really care about magnetics...

    Doghouse: could have it’s parts improved as well. I like to receive gems, xp, money e parts to upgrade my bikes when i go there everyday 😊

    Mission: unhappy i got no more missions to do, so event’s missions are really great, specially when they’re challenging and well-rewarded 👍🏻

    Loot Wheel: the same as the topic above. It’s really disappointing to get level 2/3 parts and have to put then in level 5 to do just one upgrade.

    Midnight Circuit: reward mustn’t be a random thing. If you got a better posicion, you must really get better things such as paintjobs, tracks, gems and outfits. Usually we got sad to win tickets, parts, money and blueprints of tracks.

    Note 1: when a players reach a higher level, it could win gems in the same number as the level reached. If I’m goin to be a 49 level, would be good to get 49 gems.

    Note two. In a few events I didn’t get all the track’s blueprints, logically i have a huge number of tracks incompleted in my map, and it’s really sad to not be able to buy the missing blueprints.

    Note 3: i just can agree with the riders that wrote that a player is prejudiced in the ranking when do not have most of the tracks, not including just new releases, but old tracks too.

    My suggestion is to spend more time fixing the game instead of these silly forum discussions. But I might as well be talking to a wall.

    Inb4 "what problems with the game were you talking about?" comment.

    Tracks and blueprints, blueprints and tracks. Almost everything else is just useless junk. Stallion, agent and donkey are fully built, donuts are garbage and useless yet I can get tons of them in the bunker which is why I haven't played much bunker, what's the point. Theoretically I could get a track but I've never made it to rank one so those tracks are basically inaccessible to me.

    Paint jobs would be nice but they rare and never seem to be for the donkey or crazy bikes.

    Midnight circuit is fun to play but there isn't a single person who plays this game who thinks the reward system makes any sense unless the goal was to piss off the players. If that was the goal, you guys did great, the method of handing out prizes truly makes everyone hate Ubisoft/red lynx.
