well ok unfair is probably not the best word, but the point is that the weather conditions are changed too much from run to run, some of the layouts are almost cloud free and some are too much. and that does not make a lot of sense in my opinion. and i tried to restart iphone etc. but still the city map and night map are really laggy. actually even menus and so on are laggy too.

You know, thats an interesting point about weather. We created the current system to prevent gaming (so that you couldn't just start, restart until you got the weather you wanted), but I guess having the current method you can also game it in a different way as some mentioned (keep replaying a favorable weather condition over and over until you get your best time).

However, the other point to consider is that it could be confusing to restart a race decked out with the appropriate gear, only to find on the restart that the weather has changed. It could get cumbersome to have to continually exit the game, re equip the appropriate trinkets, rinse repeat. Right now we ARE saying its ok to hit restart a bunch of times to keep trying to get your best time...

I'd love to hear some more thoughts on this...

What else would you guys like to see? Anything, from minute balance tweaks, to larger changes?

Bronze: 1 minute and up
Silver: 40-59 seconds
Gold: 30-39 seconds
Platinum: under 30 second

Add 15 seconds for city cup, and another 15 seconds for night cup brackets.

I would recommend making a new cup bracket for players who get below 20 seconds on the Mountain and Forest Cup, and add 10 seconds for the City cup and another 10 seconds for the Night cup. Because more players then myself, though not very many, are beating these times by a long shot. Because I can regularly every day get below 20 seconds on the Mnt/Forest cup and can get below 30 seconds on the City cup, and below 40 seconds on the Night cup.

As for the leaders cup, you should only give those out to the top 5-10 players, everyone below should get a different version of the leaders cup or just not get any cup at all.

THANK YOU, see that is what I'm trying to say. Restarting the race to keep the same weather condition SHOULD happen because like you said, it would get very annoying to have to quit and change around trinkets and so on every time you wanted to start a new race.

I wouldn't mind seeing a different leader board that just had the best of the best times for each race, though we wouldn't get a trophy or anything for being on that board, but it would be an easier way to see the best records for over all. =] but please DON'T put it in the gamecenter, because I'm sure that will get hacked to 0.00 seconds records. Could simply put it as another tab right next to the Leaders Cup.

This is quite feasible using GC leaderboards... we'll add it to the wish list!

Haha I said not to have it on the game center leaderboards.....cause it will get hacked to the 0.00 seconds I'm sure, which really would just make it be wasted effort on your part because it really wouldn't do what it was made for then. =[ Though I don't think (but I don't know, cause I haven't ever hacked/jail broken my device) they could hack their scores if the leaderboard were to be ingame instead of on GC. =p

Kinda odd though out of 2339 players that already have the game, none of them have hacked a trillion or two ranking points yet. lol

update is out and new acceleration gnome is really something with hat, magnet and furnace, really fast. and devs, could you be so kind and say something about lags on cloudy maps?
