In theory. In an actual race, the Sesto Elemento gets the first nitro because of its superior acceleration, and every nitro after that. It's a pity, because I really like the LaFerrari's characteristics.
I tested the Sesto by racing the ghost of my LaFerrari. Your right, Fast start then LaFerrari catches up and the Sesto can't catch the LeFerrari.
Agreed for sure... But I have had one catch me once on the start and knock me down on one of those long runs I mentioned. I was like what??? I think it was Venice forward...or Tokyo forward I don't remember.
The flaw in your ghost race vs real life so to speak is that when the Sesto gets that first bottle then your LaFerrai is hung out to dry and same would go for the subsequent run. In that ghost race both cars are getting the bottle first...ya know. In multi I feel the Sesto is better 9 outta 10 times.. .But that is just my .02
This game has so many problems in multiplayer since yesterday. I keep on getting disconnected,I can't find a room and there are gyroscope problems. I keep on turning left for no reason. I went down from 1461 to 1417.
I've just been playing against ghosts today. Thats all i really can do. My bad, i didnt know you two didnt like boosts in ghost challenges. I've been trying to play against ghost without boosts (basically when im not playing online)
Btw, what is everybody's favorite cars (in real life and in game. Only cars seen in asphalt can be picked though)? Real Life: Audi R8, Scion FR-S, Lotus Exige, Nissan GT-R, Ferrari 458 Italia, Chevrolet Corvette C7, Mclaren 12 Spider. In Game: Scion FR-S, Lotus Exige, Ferrari 599xx, Mclaren 12 Spider, Lamborghini Sesto, Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini Veneno, Lykan.

I saw a couple of hackers this past week. Typically, the thing goes like this: You're doing a great race, 2nd player disappear in the map, and than something just crosses the screen and zips through the map getting the 1st position. Never see it again. This is freaking annoying! When will they be fixing this? I made screenshots to remember the name of the guys but I don't know how to make a report.
Not sure if this will ever be fully fixed but just post the screenshots in here and GL Ryan will take care of them.
No worries on my end man... I do rather keep them non boosted but once I see a boosted ghost I just wait till the evening when I run boosters for the tourny or online play and run against them at that time. I do think it would be cool to have separate records per say though...I just like them not boosted so that at times I dont want to run with them I can still have a chance... I have come close at times as long as there is a better car to have vs the car that has the best ghost time boosted.
Yes, it will of course be fixed. It is in the process of being fixed. However, it requires an update to fix. That update would be better if it implemented the appropriate security precautions to exclude all current hacks. Considering the number of hacks out there, that is not exactly an easy fix, nor an easy implementation and requires quite a bit of integration. Is a quick short term fix better, one that would be hacked the next day or may not exclude all the hacks or would a long term permanent exclusion fix be more appropriate? Finding all the hacks and finding exclusion methods is not quite as easy as some seem to think it is. And even beyond that, all the methods not only have to be included it the game code, they also have to be included in the server code, which is even more difficult because it will cause downtime and patchy connections that will cause quite a few complaints which will mean an increase in server bandwidth while patches are being implemented in order to avoid those complaints. Suffice to say, if we want a fix done right, we do need to be patient because it is far from easy. One should also take note that the fact they are taking the process seriously and not releasing a quick fix that essentially do noting in the long term should be taken as a note of how seriously they also want to fix it. Whether the solution will be long term, who knows, hackers always hack. Will the security and protocols be upped to a very serious level? Well, yes. That's exactly why the fix is taking so long. If the multiplayer hackers are annoying people so much, and yes they are annoying to everybody but the hackers themselves, at least keep reporting them. Specifically by their user name. Saying some hacker did this that or the other is essentially useless because without a user name it is not possible to check their server logs and where they files are modified and without knowing where their files are modified, how exactly can blocks be built in? You're all gonna have to be a little bit more patient because we are talking about millions of lines of code here and many, many lines that need modification in the base game code itself and even further lines of change on the server side. As I said, not an easy fix. It surprises me that people think this could be solved so easily because if it could be solved so easily, it could be hacked again straight away very easily. I'm looking for a permanent fix though. Which takes more time.
Didn't even know that I have to CLAIM prizes of those cups. Today this CLAIM banner showed up for the first time! I made this claim tap tap thingy (for some very old cups) but although I won some coins they don't show up in my coin sum. There weren't added any coins. Please Gameloft get those things right. The claim banner should show up as soon as a cup is expired and not two months later. And why should I try to win in those cups when the won coins won't show up in the balance?
The "claim" button has been there for every tournament that has been run so far once the times have been verified and the prizes available. It's been that way since tournaments were introduced in to the game. You couldn't get your prizes for tournaments without using that button which would appear a few hours after the tournament ended. Always has. Sounds like a server sync error if the prize money didn't show up and if it was a very old tournament as there is currently no tournament just ended (as in the time right now as I'm typing this). One ended on midnight Friday (GMT) but my claim button appeared about two hours after that. And its Sunday morning now. Or else you haven't played in a long time which could just mean that the period of time available to claim your prize has expired which it naturally would. Not too sure but that claim button has always been there once you qualified for a prize. If you had no prize, there was no claim button to appear, but it has definitely been there since day one of tournaments.
Thanks for trying to enlighten this little problem, Rip73. Here it showed up for the first time since I have A8 installed. The claim procedure listed about ten or twelve tournaments in a row and lasted about three minutes. Lucky you. I'm playing almost every day but local multiplayer exclusively (with very rare exceptions). There were even one or two tournaments where I got no prize. They showed up (in that claim procedure) but without reward of course and the text "better luck next time". Maybe the erratic behavior is due to the fact that we are playing local multiplayer with up to six devices with different iTunes accounts and synced Game Center account (always my GC account on all devices so all players have the same cars and upgrades). There is a LOT to do when they're switching back and forth those accounts (keep cloud data? keep local data?) but it works pretty good and reliably most of the times. That's not a huge problem for me because I never was a special fan of those tournaments. (And I am even less a fan now because I got no coins rewarded at all.)
Habakuk, I would also recommend using the ingame support feature to highlight what happened there. I still suspect its a server sync issue somewhere along the line but it would be no harm to use that feature to highlight it to the dev team to ensure it doesn't spread. Of course Ryan will also pass it along but getting a direct explanation from the user that experienced this is always a good way to highlight and prevent further issues. And while the forum post on it is useful, direct to the team through support is always better.

Yeah, same here, basically. Anyway, it's all good, Dark-Zero boosters are perfectly fine with me. I was just trying to explain why it will sometimes take me a few days to respond to a challenge, and why I will sometimes miss out on a challenge.
About the tournaments rewards, I didn't get rewarded in one of them, again :/ specifically, the Day 5 on the Olympics cup. How long do you wait to collect the prizes, guys? I usually claim the rewards like 6-8 hours after the tournaments end, but I think I'm gonna wait more, since it keeps me happening. Also, any tips on the current Lykan cup? Man, the current top 100 in the leaderboard are crazy times, does anyone also believes that they are all hackers? I would like to see another android leaderboard times
