Can you tell us what to look forward to with the update?
You have already said that it will
-allow everybody to unlock the riptide and play tier 3 tracks
-unlock the Marauder
-fix the global leaderboards scoring system
-fix ANBA run selecting algorithm
Is there more you can tell us while we wait? Or what you have in mind for future updates?
-tracks/tourneys?
-fix glitchers/hackers?
-adjust amount of coins/gems required to pay for things, or shorter upgrade times?
-customizable controls?
-more slot machine rewards?
-ability to play music?
-replays?
-live racing?
And on a personal note: I don't have the track called Steam Quarter. Will the update give me that track?
i'd love a real leaderboard. i figure xzamplez is solidly on top now (if he manages to get the same number of tracks :P ), but i wanna see how I stack up!
You can play music if you start music then start game and if you have earbuds in press play on the buds and you can listen to music while you play.
Hey guys,
The update is super close to being finalized, we are just making certain that we introduce no new blocking issues once it is released worldwide. Regarding other things in addition to those mentioned already...
1. Many other crashing situations that are affecting players
2. Improvements to Tier 3 missions (yes, we realize they are overly "grindy" at the moment)
3. Upgrade times should be more reasonable now, especially in the higher end.
4. Lots of other small things that should really improve the overall experience.
Regarding future updates, we are hard at work on those as well (as we will be for a long time!) and while I cannot comment on specifics yet you can be certain to see many more tracks - through slot machine, missions, and a "new" way to unlock stuff. There's also one big new features coming soon that we're really excited for, but I can't give any specifics yet...![]()
Let me know if I/we are able to assist somehow with testing the fixes. I am sure lots of the people here would be willing to help get this game functioning correctly.
Sadly, though, i'm running out of patience.

2) Good. Needs to be fixed. While I did a ton of grinding, I got parts for upgrades, so I won't complain too much
3) I sure hope the upgrade times are RETRO. I still have ~80 hours to wait for level 4 Berserker upgrades. That's insane. You expect people to pay $10 for enough Gems to do the upgrade? Geez, what do the HIGH level upgrades cost???
4) The game is great, the time constraints are crazy and expensive. Fix those and I look forward to playing and even paying a bit more money.
it figures the upgrade times would be significantly reduced because it makes no sense to have them take so long or be so expensive to get past. all it does is promote people putting the game down for several days while they wait which as well all know leads to people forgetting about the game entirely.
Actually, I think the wait times for upgrades should be eliminated entirely, or at least be a small (consistent) amount, like 30 minutes or something. Clearly the only intent here is to get people to use IAP (its the only reason I would tolerate 30 minutes). . . but since I just did some serious grinding to meet the costs for the upgrade, then I sure as heck dont want you to double-penalize me by making me wait multiple hours/DAYS as well! Its that kind of blatant twisting of the F2P/IAP screws that pisses me off about this game. . . .Originally Posted by sriskus Go to original post
i agree. my point is the current time limits and costs were way too much. Several days OR $10 to complete 1 upgrade? Thats crazy. That only tells someone to put the game down for a couple days until the upgrade is complete because your looking at 100s of dollars to upgrade just one bike.
i get having a waiting period and tempting people to pay to get around it but they did a horrible job at that the way its set up now.
Still level 3s across the board with my Berserker, cannot get Gold on Refinery to complete a mission. I did all the level 4 upgrades, but I still have ~80 hours to wait. I am also on the Beat Butch Grindhouse mission, and I know I am going to need at least level 4 to do that.Originally Posted by xitooner Go to original post
So, I guess I put he phone down for now. I was about to buy some coins to do other upgrades since I have a ton of parts, but the heck with it. I'll just wait.
