V.1.2.0 review. | Forums

[RedLynxSwan]

Hey Dumptruck, sorry to hear you are running into some problems with the Slot Machine. I saw your message this morning and the team is working to find out the problem. I also checked our configuration files and it looks like everything is good there in the higher Slot Machine levels.

It looks like you should be getting some pretty great rewards money wise, so there must be a deeper issue, especially if you are getting things like 10 coins as a reward. Could you maybe tap on a few of the reward icon and tell me what they show as being worth (for example the single coin and triple coin). Also, what did you actually get for your last couple reward spins? Maybe you've just been really unlucky?

[llDumptruckll]

These are my rewards at Level 16:

Single Coin: 450: Small Coin Reward
Triple coin: 1050: Medium Coin Reward
Coin Stack: 2100: Large Coin Reward
Coin Bag: 10,000: Huge Coin Reward
Single Gem: 2: Small Gem Reward
Double Gem: 4: Medium Gem Reward
Small Slot XP: 10: Collect Slot XP to level up Lotz
Medium Slot XP: 25: Collect Slot XP to level up Lotz
Large Slot XP: 50: Collect Slot XP to level up Lotz
Extra Fuel: 5: Small Fuel Refill
Double Fuel: 10: Medium Fuel Refill
Triple Fuel: 15: Large Fuel Refill
Super Magnet: 1U: A Single Super Magnet Boost

Hope this helps.

My last 3 Winnings:

Coin Stack: 2100
Triple Fuel: 15
Triple Coin: 1050
Small Slot XP: 10

Extra Fuel: 5
Super Magnet: 1
Small Slot XP: 10
Triple Coin: 1050

Super Coin: 6000 (A Blue backed Daily Reward)
Medium Slot XP: 25
Single Coin: 900 (Note: My Single Coin Reward, when I scroll through, shows my Single Coin Reward at 450. Unless there's a Double Coin Reward?)

I can retrace my steps and try to get the Glitch to happen again, but this may also revert my Rewards back to level 1 again. Your thoughts?

[Deagle]

I can't seem to find slot machine. Is it unlocked later in the game or I just can't find it?

[AnttiKi]

AFAIK it requires you to complete certain missions first. After that it can be found in the village right of the town hall.

Dumptruck,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to collect that info for us.

I've got to say it looks like the rewards you are getting are pretty great (and by design)! Considering a normal race gives around 100-300 coins, and you got over 11,000 coins in just three races (as well as a super magnet!) you made out like a bandit.

Considering this, do you still feel we are giving out too little with the slot machine? We want to make sure that the whole game does not become balanced entirely toward the slot machine being the only thing worth using, but of course we want people to think it's a really great payout as well.

@Deagle, AnttiKi is correct, you will unlock the slot machine through normal play so just keep truckin' along! If you are to the point of racing with the Jackal and still have not unlocked the slot machine let us know.

Is it possible to earn everything by simply playing for a looong time?

Yep!!

[llDumptruckll]

The number are wrong, I was making this on level 3 or 4 when I 1st unlocked the slot machine. Ask anyone else what they are getting, even MatiSport will tell you that seems awful low.

And what about the slot XP? The small slot XP reward is set at 10 XP on level 16? There is absolutely no way that I got to Level 16 on the slot without leveling up my rewards. That 10,000 by the way, is the most money I've won since the glitch occurred for me.

Hey guys, I'm the lead designer on Trials Frontier, we've been working like crazy to first bring the game out for soft launch and now to work on bigger and better features which you can see the first of with the Slot Machine, and there are even cooler big new features still to come!

Nice to meet you!!
Bigger, better and cooler new features still to come? Great!!!

I first wanted to thank everyone for playing the game and for providing all this great feedback. Myself and the rest of the team have read each and every post and had many discussions about the compliment and concerns you have all been raising. We want to make the best game possible for both our long term hard core players and the new guys we are trying to bring into the Trials fold - this can be at odds with each other at time but we hope to find the right balance.

Glad to know that you guys are discussing what people are posting! We also want the best game possible. Despite the fuel limitations is a great game.

I especially have to give a shout out to MaTiSpOrT as he is a mega beast on the Frontier leaderboards and pretty much a legend around the office. Especially while working on our latest feature (soon to come!) you might here someone in the halls say ("man, I just hope I don't get MaTiSpOrt!"). it's not just your *** kicking on the leaderboards but also your contribution on the forums has been awesome and helped shape many conversations around the changes we are making currently.

lol My pleasure. Looking forward to that new feature!! sounds interesting!!

I'm really glad you like the new levels, I do as well, especially the most difficult (and hardest to win) track "Casino Rooftop". These tracks really show how much our level design team has grown during the development of the project as these were the most recent tracks they have built.

Regarding the way they are unlocked - I really wanted to give out some tracks to our more "elite" players, the people who are really engaged and playing all the time. While it IS luck based to win a track, the more you play in a day the greater your chance is of winning, and if you use the slot machine as often as possible in a day (no speedups needed, but of course the always might help!) you have a VERY good chance of winning the most difficult daily prize, which is often a new track.

Yeah!! I like them!! I won the daily prizes every day, my Slot Machine is at level 14, unlocked 4 new levels so far, so still haven´t played Casino Rooftop. Cant wait to play it!!

The infamous fuel system... It actually is MUCH cheaper to upgrade and refill your tank in this new version of the game and ALSO 50% cheaper to race tier 2 tracks (it was 2 times the cost of tier 1, now it is 1.5 times the cost). We did not make any changes to the bike upgrade costs since the slot machine adds a HUGE additional injection of coins into the game.

Ok!! I can see it now!!

We love seeing comments like this from the players and it always goes into our discussion of which features to do next. As fans of the games ourselves we totally understand how awesome this type of feature would be...and since we are trying to make an awesome game, you might be able to guess the type of features you might see in the future!

Awesome!!! I want to challenge a friend!! not random people as on MotoHeroz

Glad you like the boosts! (mostly) Rarified fuel is specifically for the type of player that really doesn't like the fuel system and gives the the option to play for a full hour without any worries, combo that with the coin doubler and you can make some big bucks in that one hour!

Regarding the Booster, this is something we have talked about a LOT before including it in the game and we decided on a way to do boosts that we think is fair and not pay to win, as this is the last thing we would want to have in a Trials game. To be clear about the boost, it WILL NOT let you boost your bike above the max up-gradable level. This is mentioned in the tutorial but maybe not clear enough. So if you actually do happen to have a maxed our Tango for example through upgrades, a Turbo Boost would not really help. Instead we see this to be used by players who are having a hard time beating a mission ghost (we've seen some players have a really tough time with Leroy at times for example) and of course to get that little extra boost when trying to set best times or beat friends ghosts. Any more thoughts you guys have on this would be great, but I hope this makes it a bit more clear.

Thanks for the explanation!! I just want more Rarified Fuel Booster!! lol

We're super happy with how the new backgrounds and lighting changes have improved the game, and there is MORE TO COME! We'll look into the coin performance issue.

Nice!! I hate lag!
The game looks really nice, great work guys!!!!

Really appreciate this feedback, we've really tried to not hurt the competition and "going for speed runs" idea (which is why restarts are entirely free for as much as you want once you enter a race) so I would be interested in what restrictions to you are hurting the game. We have some new stuff coming that should make the game much more challenging to players that are looking for a much more difficult experience.

I would love to play it without restrictions!! Sometimes... oh!! NO!! I can´t play it again/more, no more fuel...
I feel that right now the objective on the game is earn gems and coins. I only play the game to earn coins and gems, coins for upgrades and gems to get more coins and so on...
That´s why I said, that the game requires new features, challenges or something extra to do!!!
Oh! The worst thing is the upgrade waiting time... up to 120 hours...

Hope that clears up some things and gives you some idea of where we are going with the game. We are working really hard to keep pumping out new features and representing trials as strong as possible on mobile so expect to see many more great updates like this recent one. Any other questions or feedback are extremely appreciated and I'll be kicking around on the forum for a little while to answer any questions.

Really excited to know that will be more and better features!!
