Hi everyone,
I think I've posted two threads here already expressing my frustration at the game. This has now reached new levels since I've effectively run out of anything to do.
As others I'm sure will agree, spending money on this is a joke since you get nothing at all back. I've completed all the main challenges and reached the end, so ANBA is all I've still got to do.
However, I'm now down to 8 gems through having to skip ANBA tracks that would just have been impossible for me to win - and I'm now stuck on an even more impossible one for me to win, and obviously have no way of skipping it.
ANBA is rather bad. Some races can be really fun, whilst others can be against some of the fastest times in the world and without a fully upgraded bike I have no chance of winning, and for that, I see it as robbery to make me have to pay money in order to progress.
Having completed the game, I think there should be more of a reward so as to give you more of a run through on ANBA. You guys need to understand there's issues with it, and probably once every five races someone will get impossibly stuck. I think you should look into fixing ANBA, and maybe only put the player against others within like 10 global places for the fastest times of your own best time, which would make it a fair race.
Also, charging 10 gems for the player to get past something impossible is mad. Make it something reasonable like 3. You say the game is still very much playable even if you don't spend money, and I've reached a stage where this isn't true - unless you really expect me to play until I get lucky winning gems on the spin wheel or something...
You guys need to realise you've got a potentially really good game here, and a great fanbase that give you daily advice on how to actually make it good. You need to start listening to what people want, and they'll be more inclined to WANT to give you money. Not just be forced into giving you money because they're frustrated and can't pass a level.
Agreed! You would think RL would have the decency to lower the gem cost until they fixed their ANBA issues. Other issues aside, I really dont see why they cant run ANBA across more tracks (for variety), and why they cant make it so that you race people "around" your best time, instead of always playing better than your best time.
Unfortunately, I suspect making anything easier here for any reason goes against their monetization model. It doesn't appear to be about the users/gameplay anymore for them... its just about the opportunity for money.
Know what I was recently doing. I'd to find my worst track rank then beat it, then I'd find my new worst rank and beat that... it was a lot of fun. Isn't that how ANBA is supposed to work. It seems like the simplest algorithm in the world. I don't know how it could still be messed up after two updates.
i think it still does that but their marker for "worst" isnt what you might think it should be. Instead of it being your ranking on the leaderboard it seems to be what your worst score is. So you could be ranked really high on a given track but if you dont have platinum or have a fault it will constantly make you play it over and over because it sees it as your worst track.
Ah yes, that makes sense. And should be an easy change. I just hope they understand that.Originally Posted by sriskus Go to original post
