Well I have only raced a few times...well maybe say 20 or so...and it does a good job. But I have not run against you, RB, or anyone that is really good. So if you and I meet and I have a P1 and you a Lykan then I bet I am done, put a fork in me I am spent....lol....but strangely enough I have beaten countless Lykans maxed and double boosted while in that car and by several seconds too so I think it is better maxed rather than not or like you ran it man. Max her out I say...at least then it is useful for A class TLE's Makes sense to me..I figured that LOL...As if we care about time
True. It doesn't get boring to you though? I finally maxed it out. Got 5th in that tournament after playing for about 20 mins. It feels so good to use this car again. The nitro is too good, like it never runs out. I'm going to try using it online to see how it runs against S class.
I love that car man a real beast Ya I hate Iceland and have put all my energy in that P1 tourney and the Great Britain vs Germany one...Iceland is crap..lamo
What's wrong with the ACE's CUP... Solved... after a Reboot after a Reboot and after a Reboot! Asphalt 8: Powered by Reboot
The same for me. The Iceland tourney can go play itself. Hate that map. After about 10-15 matches with the P1, I have concluded that the car is decent for multiplayer. If it starts out in front of Lykan/Tuatara, there is a high chance of winning. If it starts out behind either car, there is a low chance you win unless the driver is bad or makes a mistake. I played a mix of both good and bad drivers. The good Lykan drivers just starved me the whole match. Again, multiplayer isn't fun for me like it once was. So much crap happens that I'm learning to not even take it seriously anymore. I guess we won't get good multiplayer till the next asphalt game. Such a shame, sigh. It sucks that my rank is almost 100 points from where it was before and that's the only thing that bothers me at the moment. I'll just have to get back on the tournament grind to enjoy the game unless that contract finally gets started.
What they need to do for the next Asphalt game is add a leaderboard/points system that acknowledges one's performance in tournaments. Make it country-specific so the obsessed Open/Summer/etc. clan players can keep their dominance limited to just China. Most A8 players don't share and compare racing videos with each other every freakin' day. Yes, the excellent clan players are usually at the top of any tournament, but players from non-obsessed countries like Canada and Italy will be able to develop their own rivalries if the China-based players are limited to their own leaderboard. Here's how I think it could work: each top 50 finisher in a cup gets a certain amount of points (1st place: 50 pts; 50th place: 1 pt), and the amount you win carries over to the next tournament. That would be a fun motivational tool to keep you racing; otherwise, evidence of how well you've done in a tournament is basically erased after a week's time And regarding the fact that many players change their home country to participate in other cups: when you will install Asphalt 9 for the first time, you'll have to pick a permanent country for the tournament points system; you'll still be able to change your country to race in other cups, but your placement in those tournaments won't be counted. It's only fair.
Well Thanks to Turbo and BeasAG, I took your tips and did a study, which I tried the Berlin cup with. When I had the McLaren, I had no boosts, no upgrades and tried your tips and nailed a 1:04.3, Position 961, Then since I had no upgrades, I figured your tips of course were for running with a fully upgraded car and boosts, so I reapplied the game plan to include two flat spins off the first ramp and the mid ramp for nitro and it worked better, nailed 1:03.0, then 1:02.6, where I left off in my post last night down to position 923. I later nailed a 1:02.5, pos 924 Here's the study, I figured why not do the upgrades and waste the money I was saving for my next car Here's what I did which is interesting; Upgraded Nitro to level 2: 1.02.9 Upgraded Nitro to 3: 1:02.3 Pos 911 Upgraded Top Speed to 2: 1.02:224 Pos 902 101.7 Pos 881 Upgraded Nitro to 4: 1:01.06 Pos 853 Upgraded Top Speed to 3: 1:01.31 1:00.7 Pos 836 Upgraded Top Speed to 4: 1:00.6 Pos 836 1:00.1 Pos 813 59.4 Pos 794 59.9 Upgraded Nitro to 5 MAX 59.3 Pos 789 59.26 Pos 784 59.02 Pos 775 Upgraded Top Speed 5 MAX 59.020 Pos 775 Upgraded Acceleration to 2: 58.525 Pos 736 Upgraded Acceleration to 3: Not a big deal Upgraded Acceleration to 4: 58.336 Pos 723 58.131 Pos 705 Upgraded Acceleration to 5 MAX: 58.495 57.905 Pos 678 Upgraded Handling to 2: Didn't notice a big difference with these upgrades Upgraded Handling to 3: Didn't notice a big difference with these upgrades Upgraded Handling to 4: 57.731 Pos 660 57.602 Pos 649 Upgraded Handling to 5 MAX: 57.272 Pos 624 57.6 57.6 57.6 57.4 Ended Last night with all the Upgrades and NO Boosts Today, I got the Boosts, wish I would have got them separately to see, but added both and drilled for 2 hours with it. Here's what I got with the boosts. 55.228 Pos 459 55.29 54.765 Pos 418 55.228 Again 54.635 Pos 403 Tons of 55.5s as I tried both your techniques, mixing it with a flat spin here or there, various over the bridge 3 Golds, 2 and the drop, near misses just as you guys explained, over and over again. I pulled a 54.599 Gave me POS 400 54.435 to give me Pos 375 That's what I ended 2 full hours of trying with the boosts. I always wondered what the difference is with the upgrades, which now you can really see, Top Speed and Nitro makes the most difference then Acceleration and lastly handling barely a difference, must depend highly on the track. I pulled a 1:02 last night to a 57.4 with full upgrades, a 4.5 to 5 second difference on average. I went from 57.4 to 54.435 with both boosts, a 3 second difference on average. So around 5 seconds for full upgrades and 3 seconds with full Boosts from a standard level 1 car. I could rack my brains and frustrate myself all night and I do not think it is luck anymore, but Turbo did a 53.145, BeaAG 53.208 and some other great drivers in that range too. So I think I had enough trying and can't frustrate myself to get lower than what I did. So Here's is the GRAND Total: Upgrades ----------5 Seconds Dual Boosts -------3 Seconds Pure Skill ---------1.3 Seconds Only The Best Hope the post was informative took a lot of screen shots and temperament, but it was nice to see.
Some different questions??? I uploaded a friend's ghost, beat it yet did not get Ghost Hunter, Beat a friend Ghost Record? I uploaded My Ghost, Beat it but did not get Ghost Victory? What is the best track to get the 100 Obstacles Medal? any tips on beating the 1:08 in Nevada, I can't get lower than 1:085, I want that nitro boost prize Thanks Guys
No. You know how some people on this board have suggested longer races, where luck and freak accidents/knockdowns would be a less important factor? Racing D class cars comes close to that. In fact, I often win races where I get knocked out at the start (mostly by triple-nitro'ing jerks ). I disagree. Tournaments have their own specific leaderboards; the world series leaderboard should continue to be about the world series and actual person to person racing. Nobody ever said that the world series #1 was necessarily the best Asphalt racer overall, they're just the most efficient multiplayer gamer. If you water that ranking down, what do multiplayer enthusiasts have left? I also disagree about the country-specific thing, incidentally. If a Chinese gamer is faster than me, they should by all means be ahead of me in the rankings. -- EDIT: I think beating the ghost isn't enough to get that achievement. Your run has to be the fastest in your personal leaderboard, i.e., you have to be faster than all of your friends. That's the impression I got while working on that achievement, anyway. And if I'm right, Gameloft's description of it is obviously poorly worded.
I'm driving the Rs4 in MP (Rank 1240). It's very tense because I actually have no chance of winning. I use the double nitro glitch and get first. But then they catch up, because their cars have higher specs. If I crash, I'm done for, but if not, I'm first with about 1-2 sec protusion.
"A" Chinese driver? It's really more like an entire club of Chinese drivers, who have helped each other master the fastest possible route on seemingly every track in the game. The separation between their times is always a matter of mere milliseconds, so one can assume that they are all using exactly the same path, with slight variations in handling being responsible for the discrepancies. Don't you wish that you had a bunch of other A8 players helping you out, telling you what's the fastest way? Instead, you're stuck testing 30 variations of paths on your own, sometimes not even sure which one is really the fastest because you bumped into a wall while navigating through a curve. The Open/Summer/Winter drivers don't have that problem, because they've had all the answers for a long time by now. The tournament rankings would be completely separate from MP rankings. Again, my frustration with the current tournament format is that your placement is essentially wiped out after a week's time, as Gameloft gradually erases the entries whenever newer events are added. Awarding points to top 50 players would at least give everyone an idea as to who the most consistent tournament performers are. As of right now, there's no real way of determining that.
Was just coming in here to post that it's really irritating when people exploit the Audi glitch in MP. Was racing a double boosted/maxed Camaro (1212) and kept running into a double boosted RS4 at 1220. He'd do the glitch at the beginning to either wreck me and/or swipe the first bottle so that I basically couldn't catch him. He's ranked in the mid-1700's while I'm in the mid-1500's. I kept losing two points each time for second. Gameloft, please fix the bug.
Isn't that pretty much what people do on this thread? I bet there are people who would like to have us excluded for very similar reasons. So where should we draw the line? How many tiers should there be? And why should the country where you live be the main criterion, of all things? There's a reason why I've set my Asphalt to Worldwide. If that makes the game more enjoyable for them, more power to them. And I have to admit that I've benefited from advice that people like Turbo 343 have given here (e.g., low ramp on the plateau in Temple drive) as well. But if you ask me, nothing beats finding a faster route on your own, or by trailing someone in multiplayer. That's the fun part, and that's why I play. Everything else feels like completing Monkey Island by following a walkthrough. People who use the walkthrough will always be faster, but that doesn't make the game any less fun for me. If anything, if feel somewhat sorry for them, because they miss out on the adventure-style aspect of the game.
Odd question: How much of an effect do top speed upgrades have on speed losses upon landing? My Agera R used to get knocked back from 450 odd km/h to 380 odd km/h on the drop on Wall Ascent before the tunnel/cave split path with level 4 top speed, but now it remains above 400 km/h throughout.
