I thought the Extreme tracks are unlocked by your XP level, iirc 88. I thought you could avoid every event in all the Stadiums completely and the only thing you wouldn't unlock would be the bonus Hard track.
Oh I see. So you need to beat the first 3 events in 1 of the Stadiums to unlock Extreme tracks (which Stadium was that btw?), and you need to beat the Finals of all 9 for the bonus Hard track.
It'll be whichever one is in Pro series A. I think it's Trials Trophy
I still have a lot of tracks to work on in the base game lol. Giving us so much to play.
Diamonds are really hard for the most part, just a couple that are "easier". Trying to get the Diamond on Sewer Rat right now. I hadn't played it since I got Plat on it and this morning I took my time from 1:01 to 44s on it. Need to beat like 41.7 for diamond so it feels within reach.
Buy the Donkey and Helium (for the sponsors, and the gameplay variety), do some contracts. The Hards start unlocking at 59 iirc. At 88 you should get the Stadium for Pro Tour A, and when you beat that you'll have the Extremes. Be sure to check the University and the Skill Games for some easy XP in each event, or additional easy contracts. Depending which contracts you're doing, you can gain a level in 10 minutes.
Interesting. I seriously doubt they'll retroactively award crates missed. For one thing, they may not be certain how many crates individual players missed. They could surely do a generic, "Sorry, here's 10 or 20." If they're working again, I can get back to doing some more contracts.
The meter is highly confusing because it's the exact same vertical meter and color of the "on fire" meter, but it's reversed. With "on fire" empty = good and full = dead, or is it the other way around, and "one wheel" is the opposite. Basically, if you drive for some amount of time or distance without the front wheel leaving the ground, boom. You don't need to do a continuous wheelie, but you may need to wheelie part of a long ramp, or wheelie a bit after using the front wheel for a bit and the bar is almost full (or empty, you know what I mean). Test it at the start of a race to see what I mean.
I haven't touched that at all, so I won't see the differences :-) I guess it's play some unspecified amount or some other metric and receive a new outfit or more at the end?
I have tons of Uplay coins but they only let you get a 20% off coupon one time in the US, and it apparently doesn't stack with a sale price. Elsewhere, less restrictions.
Playing offline should be fine. Your times won't be uploaded to any leaderboards of course, even when you reconnect.
Are you Bronze/Silver/Gold/what? I wonder if it matches players of similar level, and if the overall level of the group in the match dictates the tracks offered. When I first played I saw Hard tracks, and since then have seen some Mediums, and I'm high Silver level.
They should never have had XP. All of the major complaints (which imo were over-stated but anyway...) have come from that single poor choice. Here is what would/should have happened without XP:
