    Scoring system

    I'm confused about how to gain points, it seems as if beginner/easy tracks give about the same amount of points as the extremes. I just got 56 secs to 50.9 secs on inferno 4, and it just gave me 2.5k points, and if I increase my time by a second or so on a beginner track it raises my score by 1-1.5k or so...I feel as if my score should be higher than it is...there was 3 glitches scores at the top of the leaderboard on the first or second day, is it possible that many other scores are affected in some way?

    Same for me :/ I get the same points pretty much from improving a time on a medium track as I do a extreme track. its strange

    The scoring is explained in this thread: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...ring-Explained

    Let's compare Turbine Terror and Inferno IV.

    Platinum time for
    Turbine Terror: 0:46.3
    Inferno IV: 2:00

    Ultimate time for
    Turbine Terror: 0:35
    Inferno IV: 0:35

    The platinum time for every track gives you exactly 322500 points and the ultimate time gives you 360000 points.

    The difference between platinum and ultimate times in Turbine Terror is 11.3 seconds.
    In Inferno IV it is 85 seconds.

    85/11.3 ≈ 7.5

    In other words, for improving your time by 1 second in Turbine Terror, you'll need to improve your time 7.5 times that in Inferno IV to get the same increase in score.

    Fair enough, thanks for explaining...however I almost get the same points for improving something like turbine terror as light city run...?
