het posted:In fairness, when I went back to the early tracks with the Pit Viper, I was still .5-1 second off the plat time on my retries, so maybe it's not too bad. I definitely can't shake the feeling that, pre-extreme, the gold medals are easier to get. As for plats - the first few tiers of them are quite generous, but seem to kick things up a notch from Rainforest Rumble onwards.

magimix posted:Medal inflation? I can buy that. Maybe one of the future updates will be the "Gold-pressed Latinum" medal-tier? You're pretty good too. At least to someone that just started playing trials trying to improve. Progress is pretty slow. I have beaten a few of your easy/med platinum times though.  How much time do you think you've put into trials? The top 10 on the world leader board must be aliens.Question for anyone - when I do a small wheelie then push the front tire down to the ground I get a speed boost. What else am I missing?

It's absolutely essential for getting to some of the upper routes on tracks. Edit: What's also essential is bustin' a Proud Hero over any jump you're able. Crush them times while lookin' like a PIMP. magimix posted:I definitely can't shake the feeling that, pre-extreme, the gold medals are easier to get.

Yeeeeee-loving-haaaaaa! Inferno IV finally falls, Just barely, mind you; 28:49 and change, but solid foundation to build upon. Have definitely puzzled a lot of the obstacles out more, and improved on a couple of techniques I'm weak in. And now I need a breather because my hands are trembling.

I've slowly gotten better and better over time, and I think I have reasonable competency. That said, I have no illusions at all about ever approaching the upper tiers, or being one of those people that mostly race custom ninja tracks. Like you said, those people are aliens

Goddamn game, started playing Trials Evolution to try and sate my desire to play Fusion. And drat, a healthy break did me good. was able to actually get silvers on the first half of hard levels, and even got to my previous best within an hour of playing (able to beat the first two extreme tracks.) And then I did it. After probably a solid two years of trying on and off, I somehow beat the extreme fishery level. An hour later, I somehow beat dark city run, including that ungodly run up a slope with a crack in it and then over a billboard. But now I'm stuck in the mud in The Wreck, at the 7th or 8th checkpoint. Trying to get over a steep hill with a large and awful barrel at the top. Out of every fifty tries, I can get on top of the barrel once. But I cannot for the life of me maintain or gain enough traction or speed to get across the gap to the next checkpoint. I've watched the stuff on youtube and remain baffled. I guess I'm supposed to pull back on the wooden ramp, push forward as it ends, and then somehow avoid the barrel as I fly above it. But I'l l be damned if I know how.

Ice Climb is a pretty tough level. I've barely been able to get to 40 meters, and I need to climb to the 70m marker to get gold.

Add 'Herr Tykje' on the 360 for leaderboard competition; I have a lot of you guys from before, though  I haven't bought Fusion yet, but will soon, I tried the demo last night.I was disappointed Fusion's not planned for the PS3 (I imagine it could easily be since it's on both PS4 and 360), but what can you do. Don't understand why not, though.

Man, same problem with Fusion as in Evolution -- letting track creators assign the difficulty is just a terrible idea. I was playing a couple of Easy tracks last night because I just wanted to jump around and see what people were doing with the track editor. (I'm pretty cool with the fact that I will never be able to do the Extreme tracks; I like playing what I can from both the official campaigns and the tracks people put together.) Climbing up and down a wishbone-shaped arch with a bunny hop on the other side to a cube placed right against the bottom of the arch does NOT belong in an Easy track.

Climbing up and down a wishbone-shaped arch with a bunny hop on the other side to a cube placed right against the bottom of the arch does NOT belong in an Easy track. Aye, I have plenty from either extreme - the easy track rated as hard, and the hard rated as easy. Hopefully the tools for tagging, searching, and rating will be improved over time. There are already a surprisingly large number of very cool tracks available (certainly for PS4), and it'd be a shame that stuff got drowned in a sea of mis-rated poo poo. As far as I am aware, there are guidelines for the rating of tracks[1], but only a small number of people know and care, and in any case, there is no enforcement or curation. [1] The rule of thumb being to rate a track according to the techniques needed to pass it, as outlined in the various license tests, and tune from there to properly account for how you've elected to 'balance' whatever obstacles you've crammed in.

One solution could be to let people rate the accuracy of a track's assigned difficulty level after completing it (in addition to giving a thumb up or down, of course) and let the creator know if people disagree with his choice. It would kind of distract from the slickness of the simple thumb system if both popped up after completion, so you could make it an optional thing hidden away in the track's "detailed info" menu, I suppose. On another note, I got to 65m two times in Ice Climb today! Definitely getting closer to 70m and a gold medal. feraltennisprodigy fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Apr 22, 2014 |

Flops posted:This worked for me, thanks! That is great news! And hell, I'm always up for more ghosts. I didn't get much Trials in today (yay, illness) but I managed to squeeze out some more plats. For all that golding stuff less than extreme was a breeze, the plats are definitely starting to mount a stiff resistance. Managed to reduce fault counts on a couple of extremes, but man, there is a *shitload* of work there still to do. Bar the first one, all the extreme tracks have at least one obstacle that can still be a total show-stopper for me. (Inferno IV being notable in particular for almost entirely consisting of such obstacles  )

Even after playing most of the levels in Evolution, there is no level that deserves to eat so many dicks as King of the Hill from Trials HD. That first checkpoint is harder than 90% of the extreme tracks.

^^^^ I keep thinking I've reached that point then I seem to completely forget everything the next track. Does the pit viper feel heavier and less powerful than the rendition of that bike did in trials evolution? I just bought the pc version of evolution and the phoenix? seems a lot nimbler. My preference for the 360 triggers over the ps4 triggers may be part of it.

"Hmm, the top challenge on this track is to do a zero fault run with the baggie, how hard can it be?" I think I got really unlucky and impatient, and now that I think about it, stopping at each checkpoint is probably the way to go rather than stringing it all together. I was desperately trying to beat a friend's ghost with the baggie though. I think the track was stormtrooper.

I remember the point at which I stopped trying to do all the challenges, and it was the track that's like 50% composed of pipes and ones of the challenges was 'don't touch any pipes with your front wheel, zero fault run.' gently caress that poo poo.
