Poll – Vote for Missed Old Event Tracks! | Forums

[negodyaeff]

I surely vote for all tracks. They should be available to all players any time. This should be a good practice to make tracks available for gems forever. After event is ended, those lucky earn them for free. All others should pay gems. Gems = money or gameplay hours. So if players' skill was not enough to get tracks, then players "pay" for them with their playing time, or easy way - with real money.

Just make all the tracks available to everyone, like any other video game EVER OMG.

We all just wanna play without the hassle. If someone can't play for a week and misses an event, they can't ever get the track. It's dumb.

I've been grinding away for a while now, I'm ranked 1074 on the leader board. Til this post I didn't know I was missing so many tracks. Guarantee if I had em all I'd be up round 500.

I just want a way too consistently win the tracks I don't have. Such as the shop in the bunker. The last track I bought was 50,000 tokens. Which is fine... cuz ... ya know ... I GOT ANOTHER TRACK!!!!

You just depressed the crap out of me. Didn't realize I was missing so many tracks. Thought it was just one or two.... NOPE

It's also just such a dumb business decision. The entire model is getting people to spend on things, whether they spend in game or real currency. This would be a super easy way to get tons of people to spend. I'd love to hear a business justification for not releasing. Maybe there is some software issue? I don't get get it.

Also our forum troll is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Wheelie has two hands behind his back my the development team but still prob has some unforced errors. However if he was 5% as bad as the troll says, the troll would have been banned months ago.

Please !!!!!!!!! This is desperately needed by many players, who have high ranks

I am 8th on the donkey leaderboard with those 4 missing tracks I could be Top 5 easy

[TeamSavage_TFG]

We know they should all be released, but they are not

So vote for 1st ktm event and go on with your lives

Toad Holes !
I do not know if this track was made available in the context of previous event or not, but this is a track that many long-time players, including myself, have been deprived of due to one of those well-known RL bugs... still not available to me even after countless support tickets raised and private messages to Captain!
In addition to this one, I miss the following:
Spelunker Graves / Indigenous Village / Treachery / Rest in Pieces

I'd love to hear a business justification for not releasing.

There isnt going to be a good justification for "not releasing" forever; that just pisses people off But there are excellent business justifications for "not releasing for X months or more", and I completely back them up to that point. Tracks are what people want, so they put them at the top of the bunker rewards to get you to play... they spread them across all aspects of the game to get you to do everything... and they offer them in events to make you play. Nobody would do all the insane event grinding that Frontier makes their money from if they knew the track rewards were going to be available/winnable right after the event in any form (thats the business justification). Its proper respect to the people who play the events that they have SOME track benefit for their effort, and good incentive for the slackers that there be SOME penalty for those who dont go through the effort.

Whats a good number for X in "not releasing for X months or more"? I would be fine with 3-6 months, personally. (you mileage may vary)

All of that being said.... RL is TOTALLY out of line right now and deserve every bad comment they get because:

- They have tracks from events a year+ ago that are still unavailable. Thats too long, and it makes people leave in frustration (bad business decision).

- They have no clear policy for track distribution for the game. When the "X" wait time has expired for a track, EVERY track needs to promptly be made available in the game in some way. They might put them in the store for gems, they might put them on the loot wheel, or the slot machine, etc.... but EVERY old released track MUST be winnable in the game in some way at all times (ie in the game forever), and that way be announced to the community. To do anything else is just hurting their business. (PS: I prefer that you have to earn them instead of paying gems to not reward resource hackers).

- RL has a new (related) bad business decision..... MC Event tracks you dont get because its a random reward. Few things can make you want to leave a game more than doing all the work to be the best and still not get the reward.... coupled with the previous two points the players all know they might not get the track for a year or more, which makes it an AMAZINGLY BAD business decision.

All of the above is easily fixable by RL.... the fact that they havent fixed it over the last couple of years is simply mind-blowing to me.

(Which is why this poll is dumb. RL needs to stop asking which tracks we want ... and just go make sure ALL become available in some way)
