    Agreed.

    Up to level 10 I was ok on fuel but now always seem to be short due to failed loot wheel spins.

    Trials: Predatory Monetization Tactics Edition

    I won't be supporting this business model. It's offensive to the players to take advantage of their impatience like that.

    Here's a much better idea: Provide the player with a few tracks in the free version, and charge for the rest.

    Same here unfortunately. Looks good, plays well, seems nicely structured and interesting but theres no way I'm buying into this 'freemium' rubbish. Shame

    Yeah it's really starting to show the more you play. Making you wait for 30 seconds while the bike "upgrades" or pay to speed it up? Seriously

    The fact that they give you the option to spend $100 in one transaction is crazy.

    I currently am out of fuel in the game and have to wait a few hours to play again unless I buy more gems or whatever they are.

    And that spinning wheel should just be called "The Money Pit"

    I will probably end up paying ten dollars. I know I will be playing a lot so it seems fair to me.

    And only letting me play for a bit at a time might mean I can actually focus in class lol

    Hey all, just wanted to say that this is a soft launch. We're using this time to gather feedback and suggestions from players. The version of Trials Frontier that is out right now is not the same as when it releases globally.

    Let us know what you like, as well as what you don't like.

    I think id pay 10 or 20 dollars on this and agree that that personally id like to pay $20 and get a traditional trials experience. The game is cert capable of it. But I do enjoy the game and progression but I think the diamonds should be cheaper because if they were I think you'd use them more.

    Id also like to see value packs so you get a few fuel slots and some diamonds. If there was a $10 pack with 5-10 fuel slots and a few hundred diamonds id be getting the wallet immediately.

    If a traditional Trials experience is not possible I think you should be able to have unlimited fuel for a certain price. You would still need to grind for loot and coins and diamonds, but at least you could play tracks to your hearts content.

    Yeah I agree that the progression is cool and the grinding for parts is fine but there should be a reasonable price to play as much as you want.

    If that price was reasonable like $20 or so I suspect. Lot of people would see that as a good investment. Still have micro trans for diamonds if people want that but I think that seems fair?
