@HeaverBeaver115 That statement was not about you, but about the Ubisoft person that said the times on the track were fine and it was just track difficulty to make it more difficult.

@UbiSnout ... Like everyone can get a number one time. I am top 200 on Android and have Plats on all of the other tracks I have. ALL! Except The Switchblade. I may know what I am talking about at least a bit.

Right on HeaverBeaver115! A lot of truth spoken there. I think you summed up how a majority of us are feeling right now. Thank you. Wish Ubisoft would listen to its customers.

I played myself. I got platinum on The Switchblade. Top route log bounce. Hecking difficult though. Only took like 400 tries to do the bounce.

I got a 19.683, good enough for platinum. I don't see a lot of people getting that platinum though. Platinum is meant to be hard, but not "I have to go and get a WR" type of hard. I know you probably won't listen, but stuff like this is why your game is dying.

^^^ this and maybe Snow Alley are the only tracks that have such a strict requirement for the medal. The medal should be achievable by any player who puts in a reasonable amount of time/skill, but not restricted to people who grind this game like some of us. That is what the leaderboard is for. Devs already fixed Homeland Express and if we go back years they also fixed Alpha Street platinum requrements. I don't see why they can't fix these tracks as well. It's very unfair even to hardcore players, not to mention casual players who enjoy getting all the medals.

Having impossibly unrealistic medal times serves no purpose except to frustrate your loyal base. Don't be the brogrammers of "get on our level". This just causes people's frustration to turn them away from the game, potentially forever.

HOLY WOW! I finally got platinum on Happy Fling. That was hands down the hardest track for me to platinum medal on. So worth the grind. I played that track dang near every day, multiple times...

I dont mind those times on the normal bikes... not too bad i platinumed all. But i love the donkey and seriously... it fking annoys me there. I finally platinumed snow alley. 18.872s. Thats 6th on ios rn with 2nd place being 18.821s. I ignore 1 cauz hes a god. There is i believe actually a map noone platinumed with donkey yet. Forgot which? Maybe captainchun the god will do it but i fear they will never lower the bar . Those times make me a better player tho forcing me to practice maps more than normal.

I have beaten several isnanely hard to platinum tracks for donkey. Now im only needing two more to have all donkey platinumed.
The two hardest ones.
The Switchblade
And Happy Fling, that one sounds impossible...for me anyway. Then again i thought that snow alley was impossible for me too but i beat it.
Im missing around 19 tracks, are there any other hard ones that im still missing out on
(I already did wasteland and snow flurry, both were wearthy contenders for the hardest ones on donkey id say, wasteland in particular took me a long time)
