    New Update - X Games Norway Season!



    X GAMES NORWAY SEASON!

    Ride into the Bunker, y’all! The ‘X Games Norway Season’ is here!

    Fanboy brings you an all-new Season with ‘X Games Norway’ – the biggest action sports event in Norway!

    Get ready to flip your way through the frostiest Season so far, with Stunts in all Showdowns!


    EDIT: Over the past few days we’ve received your feedback regarding the new ‘X Games Norway Season’. We’ve taken all of it into consideration and we are making a few changes to the ongoing Season to give you an improved event experience. These changes will take place with immediate effect starting 6:30AM UTC/GMT tomorrow (19 May 2018), so please plan your Showdowns accordingly.

    In all cases, you need more Fan Points on a Track than your opponent to own that Track in a Showdown. This remains unchanged. Fan Points are based 3 scores per Track - Stunts performed, Time Bonus and Fault Bonus.

    Here are the changes –

    - We’ve removed scores for any Stunt performed more than once in the same spot on a Track. This means that players won’t be able to exploit any one spot on a Track by repeatedly doing Backflips (or any other Stunt) over there.

    - We’ll be reducing the number of Fan Points earned for each Stunt performed on a Track. The new values will be –
    o Inverted Airtime (Per Second) - 3 Fan Points
    o Wheelie (Per Meter) - 2 Fan Points
    o Backflip (Completed) - 4 Fan Points
    o Frontflip (Completed) - 5 Fan Points
    You could check these values in-game by tapping the “?” icon on the Season Banner.

    - Fault Bonus - 40 Fan Points will be deducted for the first two Faults each, instead of 10 Fan Points deducted for the first ten Faults.

    - Time Bonus - The amount of time taken (in seconds) will be deducted from the Time Bonus of 180 Fan Points. There will be no change in this value



    Fan Points!

    This Season, defeat your opponents by earning a high number of Fan Points, and getting a better time!
    To win, you must perform Stunts in all your Showdowns.
    Your final score in a Showdown will be a combination of your Fan Points, and your best time(s) on Tracks!


    Season Details!

    - 5-hour Showdown duration
    - 3 free Showdowns
    - 3 free Golden Tickets
    - 5 tickets for an extra showdown

    Based on the rewards and format it sounds like they're listening to us!

    Combining bunker with an event is new territory for me, this could be very good. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn into boring repetitive mess!

    The rewards look tempting...

    Not sure about the score calculation for winning. It says "Your final score in a Showdown will be a combination of your Fan Points, and your best time(s) on Tracks!"
    So if I get a Platinum Medal and have scored 40 points based on my gymnastic riding skills but my opponent has 60 points but a Gold Medal, who will be winning the showdown?

    People will look forward to having the Donkey bike in the showdown as its flips like crazy.

    Also, it would be good the know how the time penalty works - it would be better if this was done by seconds rather than just medals.

    As if the bunker wasn't easy enough. People don't try hard enough for this to even be A challenge.

    I'm still struggling to understand the mechanics, especially after getting a notice that I "won" a race, spun the wheel, then it showed that I had lost it.

    If faults were part of it, you'd think they'd still have the fault counter to the left. So, I'm assuming faults are no longer relevant?

    In the game it has the "Fan" count, in which you can pass the shown score, and get a faster time, but still lose ...

    You get a time bonus and fault bonus on top of the trick points. Highest points wins. So faults are still relevant. No idea what the actually mechanics are though.
