New slot machine runs are tougher! | Forums

Looks like they have expanded their track list for the slot machine. . .which I like.

Unfortunately (and maybe it has to do with my high level of slot machine), they have a distinct tendency to make me do inverted airtime.....

I had to set silver, (but most importantly) 7 seconds of inverted hangtime on a tier 3 track (Trojan Giraffe). Took me longer than I thought I would...

Then they asked for Gold, 6 frontflips, and 5 seconds of inverted hangtime on Pipe Basin. Best I could get (and get gold) after 20+ minutes was 4 seconds....and then I decided it just wasnt worth it. . . .

yep im getting hard ones like gold on tanktops with the phantom and 3 seconds inverted with the maurader while still getting silver.

every task seems to be harder. ive already had to blow gems skipping several. what sucks too is that i need coins more than anything and now theyve added stupid costumes to the prizes which makes it less likely to get coins. blah

Yes; I could care less about the costumes, but I go for them anyway just to clear my path to the new tracks (and slight amount of Gold they give (1000 coins is nothing). . .

I think I've just been given an impossible task on Wall Crack... 10 Backflips, 5 Frontflips and Gold Medal on the Marauder! Is there even enough ramps to do this!?

And still backing out of a track costs fuel! Why!? I earned NOTHING!!!

Yup. The Slot machine had been one of the few things that I still enjoyed about this game. But since they have cranked up the difficulty, it just isn't fun anymore.

And it may be my imagination, but it feels like I'm getting less in return when I actually complete a track. I spin the wheel and I get 2 of the 10pt Slot machine upgrades, 450 coins and Butch face. Wow. Sooooo amazing.

I agree... its hard to be sure since it hasnt been around very long. . .less than 2 days. . . but yes, it feels like the rewards are nerfed.

I've only had to skip one challenge before the update but I've had some tricky ones that required a combination of four criteria (e.g. 8 backflips, 15 seconds airtime, silver medal, no faults on my default Marauder). Since the update I've had three finish the run with no faults!

Admittedly I've only done three and my slot machine is only level 13 but to me they seem easier.

For all the restrictions in place, the Butch face on the reels is just insulting.

I just got a mission which is absolutely impossible.

Burnyard - 9 seconds wheelie - 16 seconds airtime - and silver, which is impossible to get when taking 16+9 seconds on track.

Please fix this developers. It is okay to get hard missions - even missions that are impossible with current level of upgrades (annoying but sort of reasonable), but missions that are impossible because of conflicting requirements are not okay.
