    I am not sure, just made sense to me that there is a cap for that reward or something if Darks has stopped working and mine has not. But if it is capped I cannot see why it is not capped lower...

    Wave of the future my friend I am afraid. This will end up being just about everyones model and from a business standpoint it makes sense. The best defence of it would be to boycot/not play these games, if you/we do not play them they would have to change the plan up. In the end money is the name of the game and the only reason we have them to play because they make a living by producing them ;)

    Edit: But you could still advance without paying right? I see that it might have been very difficult or time consuming to do so but it was possible? For me as long as it is possible I see no issue with it. When loading any game now a days you should know this upfront just because. Nothing in this world is free trust me ;)

    Now if it is said to be free and you will hit a point that you must pay to continue then that is wrong IMO
    So far I have not run into any such game

    Yes, I fully agree with that living part. They have to feed their children and there are many players, who think, the devs are making the game only for fun.
    About Heroes of Order and chaos: Yes, because it was like LoL, a MOBA. There were 5 free champions each week and it was really fun for me. I played it for exact 1 year. But what bothered me, was the balance of the champs. Nearly all the 28k heroes were OP. You just couldn't match every champ with every champ. Take the hero debronee for example. His second skill lets him strike 4 times, each strike deals 110% attack damage. So if you improve your attack to about 300, it deals 1320 dmg. During the strikes, debronee is untargetable-> instakill. His 3rd skill reduces the cooldown of his skills by 75% when he kills somebody. Therefore, this expensive hero is designed for killing the entire hostile team without receiving massive dmg. I bought him, it wasn't really fair. To answer your question, it was possible to play and win, but veeeery difficult because of the unbalanced champions. Of course, it was possible to spend 100$ for an IAP.

    You cold also look at asphalt 8. When they added the boosters, I thought: "This nitro booster is sh*t, why should I take it?" And the nitro boosters is still sh*t, because it shaves only 1.5 sec off. But because everybody uses it, i have to use to get in the top 100. It's actually quite stupid, if nobody would use boosters, everybody could increase their credit earnings from TLE's.
    It's like in a MMO, if everybody buys the super-duper-kickass-legendary weapon, you are obligated to buy it too, if no one buys it, nobody has to buy it.

    Im really into gaming. I have several apps on my Iphone to keep me up to date and I watch yt videos about games. I love playing and experiencing awesome gaming moments. But if F2P is the future of gaming , I will stop gaming, because that's some serious bullshit.

    In switzerland we say: Nothing but the death is free.

    Great run on the Alps, I can't seem to shave .4 of a sec to come anywhere close to your score. I'm sitting at 11th atm not even in the top 10. You own this game for sure.

    To hell with the Agera. It was the first "big" car that I bought in this game (that fake 468km/h top speed had me so excited!), and after just 5 runs with it I knew that it was garbage. It shouldn't take 8 seconds for any car to reach its maximum speed.

    I agree with you 4118, however Agera is not the only car where the stats do not match up. There are many discrepancies with-in the game, take the Audi for instance with its hyper speed glitch, the Agera does not add up, the new testarossa never get taken out the garage ( for obvious reasons ), the s class has issues with stability, not all, however those cars are slow ( in comparison ).

    IMHO most of the cars are only good as achievements and rarely get used if not in the SP mode or forced tournaments. There are truly only a handful of cars that are any good and live up to their stats. Disappointing when Asphalt 8 has become such a big name, GL should look to address some of these challenges in the coming updates.

    Just a thought.

    Thanks my friend, I don't know about that respectfully....Dark has been sitting out for a little while and that allows me some room ;) But I really appreciate the accolades for sure!

    Frankly you are right man, this car is good for a lot in the seasons but.... unless it is in the right company via tourney...she is a useless piece indeed...Absolute suicide to run in multi player too

    Not a ton other than maybe a increase in upgrade pricing for cars....um.....
    talk of an update coming sometime soon......
    Some server sync issues and delays that have been on going for multi player and tourney uploading of times...

    I might have missed something but that is all I can think of for now

    Just downloaded this yesterday and I got first place in my first race and bought my first new car =)

    Reminds me a lot of Ridge Racer. Super fun.

    Thought for sure the Gallardo was the way to go with Venice Reverse TLE. Spent almost an hour last night hauling that slob around that lovely venue. Plugged in the 599, first run, 1:18.0 — about 0.5 better than I could get with Gallardo. And hats off to you guys making time with the electric Merc. I'm way off the pace and don't see any room for a better time other than the first twisty section.
    Sad. My final day on A8. The game is on my wife's iPad. She's a teacher and has to hand it in. Bye-bye 17 million credits and all those lovely cars. ...

    @2621: In addition to that, I'd suggest making a local backup via iTunes if you have a Mac (or Windows PC) handy. That way, you can restore from that backup if you ever end up with a new iOS device.

    Yeah it is in general. But when you race with a car with a rank lower than the recommended rank by 100 or more in a career race, you struggle with the opponents because they keep catching up. That kinda reminds me of the three time attack races with the three fastest cars in Ridge Racer Revolution. Good times.

    Aw really? Well, try to do as the others said about backing up your account if you plan to buy another iOS device later.
