    On the Post-Halloween message

    500 million pumpkins smashed? I figure if each person smashed about 5,000 pumpkins (it took more than that to get every prize, but quite a few people didn't finish every quest), that makes an active player base of about 100,000.

    Also, it seems all those prizes that people missed will be showing up on the loot wheel now. Even though I got every prize through the quests (and was dumb enough to burn some gems on respins for pumpkins) I am glad they are doing this. It should also calm some of *****ing from people who missed prizes.

    Did anyone else think 'Wrath of the Pumpkin King' was a play on Blizzard's 'Wrath of the Lich King' Game? I wonder what their Christmas event will be called. 'Santa's Frozen Throne' ? 😉

    To give them RIGHT AWAY though is a slap in the face to everyone who spent gems and time doing a totally boring,repetitive set of quests for days on end. How many of those die-hard players are going to do it again next time they LIE once more and tell us that doing the quests was the only way to get the tracks and that they have no plans to give the content in the near future?

    Only 3300 people across IOS and Android did all 4 quests and earned those tracks. 500 million pumpkins be damned; they took the meaning and effort of players and threw it in the trash. Glad people can get those tracks but..... Not right away.

    Worst way to deliver new content ever. Worst PR move in this game so far.

    Some of those who failed quests tried hard too but they had no luck or they didn't reach the required pumpkins in time.
    Just like most of players, i got all Halloween tracks by smashing pumpkins (the hard and boring way), but i preferred if they didn't made Halloween tracks available in loot wheel, i think it would be fair to make Halloween tracks available for gems for people who failed the quests.

    Seconded pretty much said everything I was thinking. I for one will not put myself through that much repetitive boredom again no bloody way. Those hours of my life wasted on the event I will never get back! You owe us something special for the next update UBILYNX!

    Oh yeah, the other part of the message said "You'd better start upgrading all your bikes"

    I suppose that means bike specific tracks, or something.

    +1000

    I bought the Halloween bundle (8.99 Euros) and I spent around 300 gems. Now I'm wondering, why I was playing like a stupid maniac to smash their stupid pumpkins?
    It is ok that everyone get a chance to play those tracks but making them available immediately is a spit on our faces.
    And yes, I didn't get the Tango paint. Thanks RL!

    Note to self: Don't play freemiums again!

    I am also ******** about this. If anyone has read my posts in the last few days, you know why. For the people who sacrificed time, gems, and maybe even real currency, this is a total slap in the ****.
