    Has the weigh in for extremes in HC trials dropped?

    So I was playing some HC trials today, and it seemed like I was getting hard tracks constantly with very, very few extremes. After a while, I started counting them just to see if I was going crazy, and in an hour, I got 41 hard tracks and a mere 4 extremes.

    In fact, a single hard track came up more times than all the extreme tracks that came up combined. (These are the tracks that came up for voting, not just the ones that were picked by the players)

    As someone who only plays HC trials for the extremes f I wanted the fast flowig Trials I'd just play normal) this gets repetitive pretty quickly. Has anybody else playing HC trials felt like they've been getting no extreme tracks, or does this game just hate me?

    Also, I think it would be better if instead of it being completely random which tracks were picked for voting, on every voting round, you got one hard track, and one extreme, so you're never forced to play a difficulty you don't want to.

    Just a suggestion

    There's 16 hard tracks and 7 extremes. From my experience with HC the numbers don't seem to add up. Hard tracks seem to occur way more than 3:1 which makes me think that itight be weighted towards hard tracks to stop beginners getting frustrated. Just an observation, could be totally wrong.

    Usually I've been getting extremes a fair amount. But today I got so few it was ridiculous. Only 4 in 1 hour....I don't know what was going on.

    I have to say that from my experience I don't think the selection is weighted towards the Hard Tracks. From the 4 track choices you get over the two heats I usually find that for me 1 of those will be an Extreme track.

    I got Out of the Pit 3 heats in a row yesterday. And the group chose it each time.

    I'm finding it weighted towards the hard tracks more, which is really frustrating.

    Whenever there's an extreme on the roster, people always seem to pick it even if they can't make the first CP.

    I don't quite understand this phenomenon.
