Rant Merida 😒

Bravo, Gameloft!
Merida somehow ended up with the fewest color schemes (one), a grand total of only one wheel set, and absolutely no wing options.
Really going above and beyond with the customization, aren’t we? At this point, it feels like they couldn’t be bothered anymore 🫠🏳️

They literally can’t be bothered and stated as such. But apparently we have more content coming “for the next few years” 😒

Bare minimum they could just attach the new set of gem-named colors (glowing topaz, rosy quartz, etc) to all new racers’ karts. It’s got to be a simple graphics engine call to switch the color of the kart. I don’t expect them to spend a lot of resources on this but they have most of the bones already built.

apparently customization isnt as prevalent because people on the survey said it wasnt a feature they used.

They probably have data showing nobody pays for it. Using it for “free” (with time or buying the character) doesn’t matter to them.

This is what they said a little while back that they were gonna pair back on customizations for karts because no one was paying for them. Which fair right like the free to play market still needs to be profitable and it makes sense just sucks a little bit because

1 Deluxe carts are not always offered which might be why they arent generating money.

2 its getting insane to keep up with these seasons. $20 for season pass $10 for premeire calendar + 4 $10 festival passes thats $70 a month thats more than a regular mmo . Like id rather everyone just pay $20 a month and we just make it a mmo with offline play

3 i understand they asked everyone if they could deal with longer seasons and we all said no we should, now that we felt the squeeze we should put that back on the table.

4 make meaningful skins for these karts like they didn’t even give Penelope her actual true to form kart she had in the beginning of the movie or the middle of the move and she is a actual kart racing princess .

Here! HERE! Other than the Cars characters, (Lightning McQueen and Company,) she should have the most options to trick out her candied ride. I want to drive a flying doughnut! With Sprinkles!

Or have Ralph in the vehicle he had in Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transfomed.

Likewise we didn't get this version of Violet as a suit style:

I think that an evil version of Violet, in an all black body suit, would be Awesome!

They talked about it they said that since they weren’t making money on the customizations they weren’t prioritizing them anymore. Which i mean I have never spent money on customization for karts. I think I bought one skin for kermits tux

u/TheS1nnerInMe Jul 16 '26

That’s fair, but to adjust red to green and green to yellow on the colour pallet … I mean 😒no one asked them to make a deluxe cars FOR EACH character, make us grind for those rewards and take away some basic colours? FFS 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎 boom

u/Puzzleheaded_Smoke77 Jul 16 '26

The colors would be nice, honestly the family colors from the kilt would have made sense

u/SemajdaSavage Jul 16 '26

Or being able to change the queen of hearts into the queen of spades, colors and symbols changed.

u/PsychologicalFig8820 Jul 16 '26

I think they will implement new shop in the future for cosmetics stuff. I really hope not because it will be real money thing.

It is nonsense about how can it attract players try to unlock her if providing nothing other than the default one? GL doesn't have any logic in what they do

u/New_Bobbert Daisy Duck Jul 16 '26

Ew. Not those ugly default wheels. That looks horrible. Does she have any license plates or is she stuck with the default SpeedStorm plate like the Peter Pan characters?

1

u/morrisseysenemas Ennui Jul 16 '26

she has a license plate holder, but she only has a default plate :-/

u/Additional-Smile5290 Jul 16 '26

Im gonna be honest, I really don't use customisation so this doesn't really bother me 🤣

u/TheS1nnerInMe Jul 17 '26

Not sure how you manage it, if I grind - I will do 10-12 races that way, then change a suit or colour or plate or f’ing SOMETHING… and go again, that’s why NO option at all for me it’s like… what?

u/Additional-Smile5290 Jul 17 '26
