Just in relation to the multiplayer position switching thing. That used happen a lot on Real Racing 2 in the very beginning because the servers were not quite up to speed. One of the guys from Firemint called it ghosting and that it was essentially server lag that happened on the servers on their side. The description of the problem and the solution was far more complex than I am awake enough to translate right now. From my experience of multiplayer on this, it seems to suffer from the same thing in much the same way. The mass influx to essenially new servers over a short period of time are the main reason but the servers, well from most companies anyway, get balanced out over a period of time.
Not a dramatic change, but at least it's better than the small bit I mentioned before ; ) It pretty much depends on the car, too.. So no big change, but not small one, too, summing it up. Bullets - you learned it yourself, I see. More things are available in full answer view. I advise you take a look at it sometime. Or they don't. It also happens offline when game/network code is not optimized. Happened to experience it myself in the worst possible way, so... I know how that feels. Even if I'm not aware of all the technical stuff behind it. I just want a GOOD SOLUTION, that's what I'm interesting in. Nothing more : P --- The Bad: Some of the goals seem to repeat, not moving forward like they should. A good example is "win a championship race" which repeated 3 times already. Although some goals are improving, like 10,15,20,30 move combo. In this case it's good.
Has anyone noticed that sometimes when you finish a race, it shows a certain number of stars at the top of the screen, but then when you go to upgrade a car, it shows a couple less? I've had that happen a couple of times. I had 73 stars, did an earlier race to get two objectives (plus also got 1000 meter drift in Hawaii achievement, but I don't think you get stars for those), then whenI finished the race, it showed 77 stars at the top of the screen, but only 75 when I went into the shop. Of course, 75 should be right as there would have been two new stars from the two completed objectives - but definitely an error/bug of some kind to show 77 on the other screen. I want to complete the objective for adding a friend to Asphalt Tracker, but the friends I have in Gameloft Live with this game don't seem to have created a user in the Asphalt Tracker. I tried adding random users, but didn't work. If you are using the Asphalt Tracker, please pm me with your user name if you're willing to let me add you as a friend. (Please don't post your user name in this thread, as that is against the policy of this part of the forum, if I understand the rules correctly.) Thanks.
I'm just enjoying the game. The controls don't fail me much, but the on screen wheel doesn't feel as good as A6s... But I can't compare right now.
I'm liking the game, but sometimes I find the mechanics of the drifting effs me up, it's also a little annoying that the nitro and break buttons are fixed (control C). Did they include bikes in Asphalt 7, the Ducatti's?
Controls are perfect for me, Using tilt steering with accelerate on auto, anywhere on the left for brake and right side for nitro. It's not like you even need brakes in this game apart from activating drift
Move combos are pretty much chains of actions you do in game. Actions that count towards your combo are : Urban Havoc, Air Time, Drift, Knockdown, etc. There is a set amount of time for you to chain these actions into combos, which can be seen by the circle that surrounds the combo counter on the right side of your screen. Using adrenaline will stop the counter for the combo until it the adrenaline runs out. Drifting will also stop the counter until you stop drifting.
It's a bug that I've encountered twice. Surely it IS present in the game, it's not your illusion. Also, while I'm at it, another bug (I told ya it would be like this.. ; ): If you unlock more than one thing at a time (eg a car AND a car upgrade), the game will only show the car. It will not switch the view later and show that one's earned the car upgrade option. A small bug, but a bug, defly. I don't think it's against the rules, just look at the signatures of various people, including you : ) So, in other words, feel free to leave your GameloftLive ID. I'll refrain from leaving mine for the time on, but it's not that it's that difficult to guess what it is ; ) Or after a match, simply touch the people THAT HAVEN'T QUIT (you can't add them AFAIK), and confirm the positive will to add them. That's it. Try a simple thing: killing all the processes, then long-press of power, turn off, let it cool a down for a minute, turn on. If that won't work, try starting messing with settings, make sure you have sound enabled, the volume turned up in the specific app etc. (the simple things : /) To this day A6 pisses me off by having a ALL TIME HANGING notification - even tho I turned it off - the (1) hanging above it's icon and some remarks from time to time about my car getting rusty... Anybody has an idea how to kill this? All game notifications = off, sometimes when I get the info on the main screen, I slide to "PLAY", intro runs, into the main menu, Free Race... doens't work. Maybe I should try multi, even I don't do it often after they introduced the crashes/eliminations back : / (totally stupid if you ask me...) So, anybody has any idea how to kill this notification and messages? I feel ya. Drifting depends much on the handling, and some cars are just.. low-handling, especially when you rent them and can't do shit about it. There are no bikes. Quite the easiest combo series you can pull off is: drift, enter nitro, drift, nitro, drift, nitro... pour, wash, rinse & repeat ; ) Just notice that after about 20-move combo the meter goes down pretty fast ; ) Don't want to be harsh, but anything but D mode is for n00bs ; ) But I'm sure most of the people playing accelerometer (or rather, gyroscope) enjoy it immensely. If it's about fun, it's all good. Just let me tell you both drift and brake has totally different functions in this game, but I'll leave it up to you ; )
Gamecenter Ids, etc. can be put into Signatures, but these forums really frown on putting them in your posts unless its an Add Me thread.
I'll take note of it. Thanks ; ) While I'm at it... Finished the first half of the game (52 %) and the difficulty really goes up. In most cases, a bit of lack of processing power makes the things harder then it already would be. Also, some new tracks (namely Paris (GRRRR!!!), some London, some Miami) are a pain in the ass. Not that the other 3 are the easiest, but Rio is quite OK, same goes with Hawaii... I'm disappointed that they've changed the last one, but eh, nvm...
Is there any way in the game to find out if/when you have found or used each shortcut on a particular track? I think there's an achievement for getting them all in the game - but it would be nice to know if you've done it for each track before then.
Each to their own, i cant stand d mode, jerky movement. The only time i use d mode is if im using the icontrolpad. And yes i know drift and brake are totally different functions, im saying you dont even need brake, this game is all about the drifting.
You're totally wrong but I don't want to spoil it to you too much... ; ) Take note that each steering mode is configurable. Hopefully they'll add moving the buttons and HOPEFULLY adjusting their size. Will be good by then. And I didn't state that brake and drift are totally different things.. I stated that they are used for different things than originally intended, at least on some level of competition ; ) And oh, you DO need the break. Even if it there was a dedicated pedal for the drift (let's imagine that), you would still need the break. And speaking that it's "all about drifting" you're totally wrong too, but it's just my point of view, tho not unfounded. OK, enough with hints ; )
Pmsl, whats with all the riddler crap. Why dont you just say what you want to say. Ive got my own opinions but your acting like your holding the key to life. lol And as i said i DONT need the break, never take my finger off accelerate and if there was a button for drifting i wouldnt use break. Very strange...
There is no way to check it out. The simplest way is to take a slow Tier 1 car (Land Rover without upgrades? ; ) in Quick Play and play each track once or twice. By now you should know about the shortcuts on all tracks. For other people: Do take note to also take ramp jumps and keep your eye on the road, since not all the shortcuts are marked. The best example is the ramp jump shortcut on Miami.
I just know that forums are read by many people and I don't want to babble away any infos I don't really need to : ) (BTW, pmsl is quite a childish acronym, it would be quite.. smelly in real ). And no, it's not a key to life, but to some things, some even quite important - yes, it is that : ) The fact that YOU don't need the brake doesn't mean anybody else doesn't need it. BTW, if you do have chosen a mode in which accelerate is automatic, you actually don't have an accelerate button/area, just nitro. Tho it's prolly just a shortcut in thinking. Of course, it's all cool by me, was just giving some pointers to play better. So no offense given hopefully, and none taken.
