    Anybody else?

    I did love the game when I got hold of the beta I loved Evolution and HD, (Fusion not so much but I bought the season pass so ill keep playing it) it was the ideal trials on the go game so much better than any other available.

    However I find the game is losing me now, I'm just about not caring about the leaderboards I know I will not get a WR even though in was close a few times there's just better players out there and the fun I had when I started to play the game has faded a whole lot over time. It filled the time for nearly a year and its had some money out of me mainly because my game became so corrupt I had to start over which is probably where the love for the game started to leave.

    it would be nice if they could fix issues as quickly as they fix tracks that give IN THEIR EYES too many coins IM LOOKING AT YOU THE TANKTOPS and more recently LOGGING CAMP 1200+ coins taken away how unfair! with issues like the swamp maps being inaccessible for over a month and the recent/current crash problem it just takes the fun away and replaces it with aaaaaah bugger it (DELETE) whats this candy crush thing all about??...

    Oh yeah whats with the sell that Frontier and fusion were interlinked? 3 tracks is that all we get? hardly worth doing really this game needs supercross multiplayer or a serious feature to keep my interest.

    Im also loosing interest in the game, but I'd say it kept me interesting long enough for a mobile game (i've been playing since April, so its almost 5 months, pretty much everyday).
    I agree completely with the fixes. How come they were able to fix all those issues that gave players advantage, but cant fix a simple thing that makes parts of the game unplayable (like the swamp tracks problem) Im pretty much only waiting for the Fire Oasis track, but Im slowly loosing hope and loosing interest in checking if it will ever appear on the slot machine..

    i dont play the game nearly as much as i used to which is mainly do to my frustrations in the way they release new tracks. its hard to care about the leaderboards when you know there are people ahead of you only because they have tracks you dont have yet.

    i probably play anba 95% of the time. the other 5% is made up of the slot machine and the rare chance i win a new track.

    i really love the game but i feel beaten down by it whenever they make a change.

    Im glad its not just me, i know the game aint even a year old yet but i feel like it could benefit from a new approach and a fresh start with UBILYNX learning from our feedback on how TRAILS MOBILE 2.0 could really blow us away im thinking like the improvements from HD to Evolution.

    I mean just let us play the game without restrictions, no bike upgrades a fair even leaderboard where the best ride is top without question.

    take my £5-£10 and give the fans the game they crave not this embarrassment to the franchise we have now.

    I am really only interested when new tracks come out.... these new outfits and tweaks to F2P, etc arent big changes, and I too cant muster interest in maintaining global/track ranking at this point. After all, with over 1.5 millions players, even being in the top 50 puts you in the top .003% of the world.... None of use are losers by any stretch of the imagination.

    The few bugs (Fire Oasis, ANBA, multiple payment issues, etc) are regrettable, and it IS irritating that any issue that can cost RL money (via helping against F2P) is quickly addressed but the usability issues dont get addressed nearly as fast. But as eldroo said, having a mobile game that keeps your interest for 5 months has been a truly rare find. Its been a good run (and I have not found one as interesting as this one was yet), but this hasnt been my major focus for a while, and it will only get smaller over time.

    It takes a finite amount of time for them to make tracks. Like EVO, the only real way to continue to truly hold customer interest over time is to release a track editor. Let us make the tracks, and things will be taken to the next level (even though 90% of the tracks will be junk like EVO, there will be some true classics made)

    Frontier hasnt been an embarassment, IMO, even though I hate its misguided F2P model. There is a gem of a game underneath those layers of F2P. Fusion was bad though.....for me, if anything, Frontier has been their one saving grace, although they wont get any money for it from me since they already got PLENTY from me for Fusion and its DLC. Wont be paying for past performance any more (ie I paid for Fusion because I had too much faith based on what EVO was).

    i was really bummed with this latest update compared to the previous. It was nice getting 5+ tracks right off the bat, albeit for 75 gems, plus a bunch more you had to win. I quickly got annoyed by having to win those so when this update came out and ALL the tracks had to be obtained that way it really took more air out of the balloon for me.

    really though i dont see myself completely stopping playing anytime soon because the basic game is outstanding and the community here keeps me inspired to play.

    You are right embarrassment was a strong word to use I was just off on an annoyed rant, deep down the basic gameplay is very good it's a good looking game and it's miles above gameplay wise of the competition, it would not of held my attention for so long otherwise.

    It's just the F2P that ruins it and I kind of hang my head in shame for giving my money to such a greedy business model, my main reason for doing so was my times were saved to UPlay thus making my ANBA opponents very difficult/impossible so I wanted to speed up upgrading my bikes.

    Trials fusion was very disappointing it's probably no coincidence that it sucked right after the UbiSoft acquisition but Frontier is minus the F2P very good and plays well. I have spent 90% more time on Frontier than I have on fusion which is UBILYNXs fault.

    I suggest trials gold for next gen pretend fusion was a bad dream.

    WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.... I hope not!

    i think you could get a WR. i have one you could too since you are ahead of me on most tracks.

    ive managed not to spend a single to dollar on this game. its not that i dont want to but rather not in the way they want me too. i would probably even pay for a costume or two if i didnt feel so gross about the way they handle everything else. i really do love the game.

    I'm glad you're losing interest LinkinJon because it means I have a chance to overtake you!

    Seriously though, all games suffer from the law of diminishing returns. The more you play it the less you get out of it. I reached a point about a month ago where I thought I'd hit my ceiling and the game was done. If it wasn't for the bike upgrade system I probably would have stopped playing, not because I think those upgrades will help but because my completionist compulsion drives me to.

    After this last update I ran the new courses a few times and settled for reasonable platinums. Most of those can be improved but I also started running courses I had long since given up on improving and I smashed those times with little effort!

    I was looking at the map the other day and trying to figure out how much scope there is for adding new tracks. There are quite a few areas which will obviously feature new tracks but there is nothing to stop them adding a portal to a new map either (the whirlpool next to hardcore island is primed for this).

    It may be that my play time dwindles over the next few months but I'll keep checking back for new content. Evolution was the pinnacle of Trials on console for me but I think I can say that I enjoy Frontier even more despite its obvious shortcomings.
