A great game hidden behind a tedious grind | Forums

[Retribution]

Question for those who have completely the game (as in getting all gold/platinum on the career tracks and completing all the contracts up to that point, is that like literally it? No more contracts ever or do they still pop up randomly from time to time with some random requirements like beat Inferno 5 under a minute with the tandem bike with no lean and holding down gas full speed ahead for the lulz, etc etc. Be interesting because GTA5 has side missions that you can still do even after the game is completed. Yes i know, i know...That's what TC is for but im not going to hold my breath til TC gets a huge a$$ makeover, And ive only played a few MP versus races but uh... are there no supercross tracks on VS? Ive only seen beginners/easy tracks and i know the harder/extreme ones will come later on. Was just wondering where the X-cross tracks are at.

As soon as I unlocked the Extreme tracks I haven't done a single contract, I wish there was a way to just completely turn them off honestly, makes the map look horrible!

But new ones continue to pop up, as I now have "ninja" contracts, which are basically the same as the other ones, but just more backflips and inverted air time haha

Once you do a contract then it doesn't come back. Almost all time you reach the last contract of a sponsor you win acorns if i remember. I have done all contracts with less than 5000 coins and no new contracts.

If you guys want to avoid all the icons on the map, just use the final stadiums filter and select the tracks you want to play from stadiums.

I'd seriously appreciate some help here. As I posted before, I've got to level 56, unlocked 63 tracks, earned platinum in 3 and gold in the rest. I've completed every contract (103 in total) except one and there is nothing left on my map to do. It looks like there is a stadium that requires level 58, but there is nothing left to do, except for the Stadium Finals. There is no way I can get close to winning any of them! Is the game over for me now? How do people get to higher levels?

I heard some people mention Red Bull challenges. I think it said they'd been unlocked, but where are they?

This seems to be a serious oversight from RedLynx on this. Please tell me they are aware of this issue and are working on fixing it. I can't believe that Hard and Extreme tracks are locked behind an impossible XP wall.

Have you done any Uni of Trials tests? Skill Games? They reward you decent XP. Having Donkey and Helium will unlock more challenges too. Generally I had about 8 XP levels or so to make up to unlock the next section of tracks, but always had enough events or tests to level up.

The latter levels of the game are very good, it's a shame some may not get to see them.

Back again.

All I can say is... Lol.



The red bull contracts have gone. I don't think I completed all of them them but they have disappeared.

What a really exciting virtually blank screen! Woop.

The extremes unlock at level 88 and I'm marooned in this no man's land.

I can't be arsed to do those two stadium finals or that 17 inverted seconds one yet.

I've unlocked the helium and donkey and I've endured a few mind numbing non-challenge challenges and I've eked out some XP to get from level 83 to 85.

Some of the challenges give out 300 xp. I need 10,000 per level.

A platinum medal on a hard tracks gives 350 xp so it's actually pointless trying to get them yet.

The highest rewarding contracts give out 2000 XP to me at the moment. I'm 30,000 xp points away from finally getting the extreme tracks - content of the game I should've had access to hours ago.

Someone official really, really needs to wade in here and hold their hands up and apologise and fix this. It's a complete disgrace.

If you could buy your way to the top with microtransactions it would be evil but I could at least understand why you set the stadium final levels to the levels you have.

As it is it just makes no sense. Absolutely none.

Yes, I've done all the UniTrials that I'm allowed to do so far (next unlocks at level 62, I think), and got A+ in them all. I'm a fairly decent player - having got gold medals on most tracks since Trials HD (although Extremes were a mix of silver and gold), but I'm being held back by this stupid XP wall. I really, really hate what RedLynx have done to this beautiful game. I can't imagine what players with less skill are going to make of this nonsense.

It doesn't actually matter how good you are.

Even if your map is littered with platinums, if you haven't done any challenges you will not unlock the later tracks.

Think about that.

It's insane.

[damassacre]

is all I can muster really. I feel like RedLynx got most of the game right. The physics are good (not the best but just different enough which is good), the tracks are amazing with depth, variety, the objects are amazing. They got the hard parts to do right I think.

But then they went and undermined all their hard work with terrible, laggy user interfaces, slow transitions and grindy progression system. It just makes me sad because when I play a track I'm excited to get to the next one, but the game works hard to keep me from playing the next one

Look on the bright side. The second you unlock the extreme tracks you never have to do another contract ever again. The whole fame “xp” system becomes irrelevant. I haven’t done a contract since.

That's what I did. Though you still need to skip those contracts when you select a track that has got one attached to it. At least you can de-clutter the map by setting the map filter to "stadium finals" and use those as your new baseline for track selection.

Still, it's a damn shame that everything besides the actual gameplay on-track is a complete and utter mess.
