Hi all,

I apologize for my somewhat forward Thread Title, but I wanted to get some attention to point out that I should be in the Top 10 Riders on the iOS Frontier Leaderboards. Due to "my still" Glitched Frontier game, the game thinks I have tracks that I simply don't have. Therefore I am also being deducted points for not having times placed on the (over) 10 tracks that I am currently missing, even though "it thinks" I have them.

On a side note, and this is me just being me, I would like to declare, that based on average, that I am the # 1 Speed Bike Rider on iOS. The funny thing is...is that no one really comes close. Once again, this is based on an overall average. I know the Xample is a better rider than me, but my average says otherwise.

Now where's that Donkey?

Probably you are the only one usong the Speed bike on Tier II and Tier III....

You aren't being deducted points because you haven't set a time on a course the game thinks you have. You just aren't able to accumulate as many points as people that do have them. I have those courses but in a lot of cases haven't set a time on them yet, the game is not deducting points because of this.

I'm sure you know this and just chose to word it incorrectly.

Also your times aren't that good. Even if you had all the tracks I think you'd be top 50 not top 10. Guess we'll never know though!

Chances are...I'm better than you. And you don't even know it.

Chances are, most folks are better than me, and I am in the top 10 on IOS for quite a while. Some folks get there by talent, and others get there by sheer dedication, IMO. You might get an awesome run the first time, every time... but if I am willing to make 500 attempts on a track I WILL eventually luck out and get an exceptional score (and learn a little each time). I am not sure that makes me better.... but if you are willing to do that on 95% of the tracks, and make sure you GET every track thats possible (via slots, etc), you will be top-10 without possibly ever having any WR. "consistently good through dedication"

I'd like to apologise for my earlier comment. I've only ever come across deduction as meaning subtraction but I just did a crossword and the clue was withhold, the answer turned out to be deduct. I looked it up and it has three definitions. Subtraction, to divine by logic and to retain and refrain from disbursement.

You did use it correctly and I am the ***.

You still ain't top 10 though! ��

o_O wow dump

@ Mandrake. Thanks for the apology. I do get that its not that I'm being deducted, its that Since the game won't unlock them, I can't play them, and as a result I'm missing out on points. Once I unlock them, I'm sure I can get at least in the top 20.

@xitooner. Check out my times compared to yours. I'm ahead of you on more than Half the tracks that I do have. And I have Platinum on everything else. But the proof will come when those tracks get unlocked for me. Think about it. I'm missing 10 Tracks. That's 10 tracks I don't have points for. I'm in 200 something place, while not having 10 tracks. That's impressive on its own merit.

Besides, RedLynx told me that I will unlock the missing tracks with Missions. Only I have no more missions, Other than ANBA left to complete. SO where am I supposed to get the tracks from then?

Do more tracks unlock when you beat all the ANBA Missions? ANBA only just started working in the previous update. So you tell me?

[Mandrake2007]

ANBA supplies a new map every few rotations for you to beat a boss on (essentially giving you an ANBA challenge on a track you've yet to set a time on). There are about 10 of them. (I'll edit this post in a minute when I can list the tracks.

I understood you were missing the update tracks from the slot machine (which is probably about 15 tracks) if you don't have both sets you're missing more than 10 tracks.

Edit:

The ANBA tracks are a string of tracks running from south of the Home Village on the map.

Flower Hills
Buggy Track
Serpent Slough
Frog Village
Marsh Edge
Mushroom Heights
Mud Cakes
Firefly Landing
Monster Lake
Quagmire

Toad Hole (which was freely available in the last update to replace Quagmire) appears between Monster Lake and Quagmire.

The Slot Machine tracks came in two batches and you need to be level 18 in order to have them all unlocked.

First Batch

(Tier 1 - string runs from south east of pipeline camp along the bottom of the map)
The Arches
Flooded Highway
Backyard Catwalk
Wolf Den
Steeple Run
The Waterwheel
Casino Rooftop

(Tier 2 - south west corner below Deadwood Valley)
Wood Switch City
Coaster Canyon
Buzzsaw Paradise
Balance Avenue
Hilltop Ghetto

(Tier 3 - south east of Dropzone)
The Pendulum

Second Batch

(Tier 2 - in the south west corner of the map with the last batch of Tier 2 tracks)
Arch Ruins
Risky Rooftops

(Tier 3)
Troll Lair (west of Dropzone)
Trash Tops (north west of The Tanktops)

How many of those are you missing?

I dont doubt you are coming (and if anything, I assured you that you probably WERE better than me). Wish they would get you fixed for your sake, because whatever happened to you to get you in this state seems unique. But... theres a lot of people ahead of me on many tracks that are currently behind me overall; thats not special. What I am saying is that any person who tries to stay top-30 on all tracks....will very likely be in the top-ten globally. You dont need WR to be up in the global leaderboards...although it doesnt hurt... mostly, you just need consistency.

Also, rank isnt a good judge at this point for us, but score-wise, you are 14 million behind me; I am not sure only 10 missing tracks will make up that difference, but you'll be in the ballpark I am sure.
