    They may create 10 track elements and post: "Look there are 5 new tracks!", but they just put the elements in various combinations together, like they did it in the chinese tracks.

    Need more Credits! How to do it?

    Good afternoon folks,

    First time poster here so sorry if this has already been answered!

    Well, I'm writing because I need some advice on how to increase my Credits. I've hit a wall and can't figure out a way to win Credits faster. Just to give a little background on my situation...

    On single Play, I've already obtained all 1050 Stars. Even won that silly Season 8: Airborne - Iceland Gate Drift. Had to max out my Koenigsegg Agera R to actually finish first, which got me all 5 Stars for that race and then completed single Play at the same time.

    Since single Play doesn't give you enough Credits to purchase all the cars and make upgrades, I started Multiplayer some time ago. I've gotten to Level 85, and even obtained the King of the Ring Achievement.

    With grinding out Multiplayer (and I really do mean grinding over and over and over and over and over... etc.), I was able to upgrade 40 of my cars to Maxed stats.

    This actually put me at 70/71 Achievements Unlocked. I'd like to get that LAST Achievement, Fully Armed - Fully upgrade all the cars.

    Now my World Series position is not too good. I'm sitting at My Position 499 with a Rating of 1600. But, either way, I don't think this helps me build Credits faster so I don't really care about this stat right now.

    At this moment, I'm just grinding Multiplayer and trying to come in 1st every single time. This nets me about 6500 Credits every race. In addition, the first 3 races net me a bonus 2500 Credits. If I'm lucky, I'll get another 5000 Credits at 5 races, 7500 Credits at 7 races, and 10000 Credits at 9 races.

    Doing the math, that only gives me about 58500 Credits and a possible 25000 Credits in bonus for a total of 83500 Credits every 9 races.

    That's the BEST case scenario. Usually, I come in 2nd or 3rd every 6th races or so (which means less Credits). Also, the 2500 Credit bonus is the only constant. The Credit bonus at race 5, 7, and 9 only come once every 3 times (very randomly). So averaging it out, every 9 races I'm only making around 65000 to 70000 Credits.

    65000 to 70000 Credits are squat now. Not nearly enough every 9 Multiplayer races. I'm trying to upgrade 12 out of 13 of my Class A cars (The only one I have Maxed out is my Ruf RT 12 S.). And I'm trying to get 7 out of 10 of my Class S cars Maxed (Only the Koenigsegg Agera R, W Motors Lykan HyperSport, and the SSC Tuatara are currently Maxed out).

    My strategy on upgrading is to get the rest of my Class A and Class S cars to Level 1 (which is now done). Then to Level 2 (which I'm working at right now). And etc., etc.

    So, how can I obtain more Credits faster? 65000 to 70000 Credits are not nearly enough every 9 Multiplayer races. It will take me FOREVER to get the Fully Armed - Fully upgrade all the cars Achievement.

    The only other way would be to make sure you play tournaments and place well in them to get the most rewards. A word of advice is to use about the first 20-30 mins of your boosts on tournaments and the rest on multiplayer. That way, you get time to get your tournament lap times up while also getting money in multiplayer.

    I would agree with Dark man other than adding the credit doubler for a buck you are doing the best you can. Just add the events in to get those credits too and nothing more can be done my man.

    Maybe u can point out at which area u need to improve for the experienced driver to give u advice.
    I can say the first blue bottle is the crucial, if u didn't, try to drift near the wall to overtake the opponent(s) at the same time gain some nitro. (Maybe u may want to make a Flat Spin at the first ramp), i'll always take the next blue bottle on the left instead of the right. For the big big round track, keep in the center of the track and then drift during the last corner to collect the latter blue bottle and off the ramp. For the narrow roads, keep left and be firm! LoL. After that collect the yellow bottle without going thru the curve ramp. Lastly, the round track again, i'll keep blasting my nitro while making drift to minimise the time for the Finishinh line.
    Sounds like i'm giving advice. LoL:D

    This pretty much. When S class short tracks come up in tournaments, you can pick up about 3.6k from a sub-1min race, though it does get a little tedious racing it over and over.

    Doing the season 8 Lykan China track (most bottom-right in the season 8 races) as the "first race of the day" grants you around 9.8k from a 2-minute race because of the 100% extra credit daily bonus. I always begin playing that race to get the daily bonus, and then I go to the daily tournaments.

    Do you think they really mind you find it too expensive? This game is F2P and they need a revenue from somewhere. I also find it crazily expensive, it's the only car I'm missing and I'm at 220k atm on the grind process towards buying the car. If you don't want to buy a credit IAP pack, then grinding is the only solution... :p

    Has anyone figured out whether a lykan triple boosted accelerates faster than a tuatara triple boosted or vice versa? When i triple with the tuatara, Ill occasionally get beaten by a triple boosting lykan, and when I triple with the lykan, Ill occasionally get beaten by a triple boosting ssc.

    And Ill never understand how a lykan can catch up and overtake a fully boosted ssc.

    The 9 fastest times in the current WW tournament were set by players using the Lykan. Are they really going to keep trying to convince us that the Tuatara the fastest car in the game? I think its handling is a bit better, but its acceleration and speed are definitely not as good.

    More random order replies/stuff:

    I totally agree that the Lykan and tuatara are now stable enough to run wreck- free if you know what you are doing, though that benefit goes to all players, so it's a zero sum gain when you have competition. Those 3rd and 4th position starts can erase many races worth of gains quickly.

    I have run my tuatara into the ground, so I'm back to annoying people in a ctr 3, spano, or zonda r. I lose rank overall doing it, but coming second in a field full of boosted Lykans and tuataras while in the spano = lulz. Getting first is like salt in their wounds. Nothing says "you stink" like getting beat by a low-end s class car while driving one of the fastest rides in the game. All that money spent, and for what?

    Ha ha!

    Beating decent-to-good sesto drivers in the zonda is also somewhat satisfying.

    Thanks for getting back to me, Ryan, and I'd encourage you to keep your eyes open for more mp talk around here as it crops up. I personally don't care much about rank anymore, though no matter what I do, I keep gaining it enough to stay in the 1500s at least, no matter what I drive. Except the viper and . . . fx50. Those are my only two "do not drive" cars, though I guess the f150 also belongs on that list.

    Giving people special rewards for big comebacks, winning from a bad start, or overcoming insane odds is a fun idea. I beat a field full of boosted Lykans and tuataras In the ctr3 which was H I L A R I O U S. Can I get a cookie for that? Not much else for me to win prize-wise, since I'm up to about 12.6 million credits and still rising, all cars maxed, blah blah blah.

    For those unhappy with mp rewards: used to be, there were no streaks. Getting a lot of d class upgrades puts a maxed mini in your reach fast, which is a rank grinder for sure. C class gets you either the camaro or (surprise) urus, both of which can be pretty potent in multi. Still doesn't pay for your boosts, but you can grind daily tournaments for those, then make your money back plus profit in the two hours that your nitro boosters lasts. Bottom line: if you are having fun driving mp, it's time well spent. If not, 10x the money won't stop it from being a waste of your time.

    On wrecks: DESTROY ALL SURVOLTS!!!!

    Bonus points if you do it in a db9. Lulz.

    Otherwise I prefer clean passes since wrecking people can slow you down. This is a race game first and foremost, and if I have to wreck you, then it means I can't out-drive you. Or it means I'm a jerk, in a bad mood, seeking vengeance, or whatever. But mostly it means I can't win otherwise. Unless it's a survolt, then I'll just kill it as a matter of principle.

    Edit: all my best track times are in the tuatara. It is faster in my experience. Maybe people are discovering new ways to rock at tles in the Lykan as a response to fierce competition, or maybe it has to do with driver skill or micro hacks.

    "Unless it's a survolt, then I'll just kill it as a matter of principle."

    Ahaha lol:D

    But about the win streaks: There were nitro- and tuningboosters and even double credit boosters and now class D/C upgrades. Wow, and they didn't even said a thing about that change.:(

    Mini, usually. Sometimes the Survolt, but then I'm susceptible to Audi drivers exploiting the off-the-line glitch. (I'd probably go back to the Volt if Gameloft addresses said glitch in the next update.) And sometimes I'll use the Tuatara, but I like to have a beer when I'm racing, so that usually rules out S class for me :D

    What about that event didn't you like? Getting feedback on the tournaments is definitely something I'd be interested in hearing.

    Same question as above: What's uninspiring about these cups? Any feedback would be awesome :)

    Awesome find!

    I think I know what they want to say. For the first person, the tournament has prizes that aren't that appealing. The game at this point in time requires more money so the prizes should be raised in quantity. Right now, it's like have a US minimum wage job trying to live in England.

    For the second person, the tournaments aren't pleasing. The pay out isn't worth it so it's pretty much a tournament you feel you won't get anything out of it.

    There are many different ways to make tournaments better.

    This ^^

    I don't make the Eco Cup because I don't have the Silver Lightning first, so why get a car, max that just to win (at best) 1/3 of what I spend to get the car? And the Lightning Cup the day after? Another race just to win a D class boost?

    Personally I don't have all the cars because most of those don't have their special TLE and when that happen the prize is too poor. So why spend cash for it? Even MP needs a BIG improvement: in W8 find opponents it's too hard sometimes and until you reach the top exp level the cash is poor. And yes, have D and C upgrades for win streaks is not what I want, that's why I don't play MP that much.

    As I outlined in my post, I would like to see longer (as in having more laps) tournaments with heavy traffic. A track like Monaco or Tokyo is ideal for putting a bunch of cars in the way. It would help stave off the creeping feeling of repetition that comes with racing a short, relatively easy race again and again, with your time being affected by the tiniest mistake. I've tried the "Race Against the Clock" event at least 40 times by now, and I don't see how I can improve upon my 0:59.985 time. Well, I still haven't managed to grab all 3 bottles during the last ridge (my Lykan keeps bugging out when I go for the third one), but that imperfection alone can't be worth than half a second.

    I might be underestimating the precision of the incredible Chinese drivers, but I don't think anyone could pull off 5 laps with heavy traffic without committing at least a few mistakes. Do I just want to see results get hopefully shaken up a little? Maybe. Even in the not very competitive Canadian events, there are always the same 4-5 Chinese drivers with a 1-2 second lead over everyone else ("everyone else" being people who are actually Canadian). I'm currently sitting in fifth place in the Venice D-Class tournament, and lo and behold, the usual 3-4 Chinese drivers are ahead of me by 1-2 seconds. Apparently they know some about some alternate route, because I don't see how I could have shed an extra two seconds from what was a pretty good run.
