    Hey, a bit out off topic but...

    ...which car do you guys use in multiplayer?

    I mean, I use the dodge dart, the worst car in the game, but it has still a higher speed than the Audi R8. And a low rank, which brings a lot lvl 1 players.

    My problem is, when I choose a car with a higher rank, there are more champs, with better cars than mine.

    So...any suggestions?

    By the way, since the update, I've been experiencing server disconnections at least 4-5 times per gaming session. It would be really nice if Gameloft tweaked the game so that it can distinguish between players voluntarily quitting the race and users' connections being lost through no fault of their own. Again, Gameloft, add a FORFEIT button that costs you 10 points to use. And stop penalizing server disconnections by 10 points!

    I understand high-ranking players not wanting to lose 18 points for finishing behind a few average players, but these unreliable servers are killing my ranking! I played for 3 hours last night, won most of my races and never finished lower than third, but by the end of the night I was only 5 points higher than when I started playing, all because of those disconnections which cost me 50 points in total. It's absolutely maddening!

    I think we can assume Gameloft isn't going to nix the fuel meter for tournaments or the extra tank boost, much to all of our everlasting chagrin.

    But they could make two changes to improve the experience for veteran drivers in particular:

    1) Make the extra tanks a prize in country-specific tournaments. In Canada, we have a new tournament every day. Perhaps the prize in one of these tournaments per week could be x3 extra tanks (with 3 hour duration). That way, every half-decent driver will have the opportunity to compete in worldwide tournaments without breaking the (real life) bank.

    2) Restrict the fuel meter to cars that players don't already own. Or, failing that, reduce the time to fill each bar on the meter. There's nothing more disappointing than spending heard-earned credits or actual money on a booster only to watch the clock tick away while the meter refills.

    These are relatively easy fixes -- probably even hotfixes that don't even need a full update or even an announcement -- that would make us...well, not happy, but at least less devastated at the recent changes.

    Don't hold your breath on a fix for that, Gameloft has probably zero interest in fixing that since it wouldn't be some scheme to extort money.

    I don't see them wasting time and energy working on something they don't directly benefit from if they can spend the same time working on throwing up some new paywalls and some other gameplay crippling mechanics.

    If they do change something about it than it is way more likely that you'll get a 20 point penalty instead of it getting any better. They seem to be developing the game more from the perspective of "we can't have the player having too much fun so let's make it more miserable for them!".

    Maybe they'll put a timer on it so that you can't play for an hour if you had two disconnections or something lol
    $9,99 would of course give you instant access again!

    Wuuut?! I like the old supra too but this one looks amazing! I really like this new edgy style. Like the Lambo Huracan, who is the replacement for the Gallardo.

    Thanks! Dark-0 :)

    Man...
    Those Chinese are insane hackers!
    By the way...
    The Jaguar C-X75 is terrible ugly, reminds me that 1995 Ford Mondeo.

    :D

    I couldn't be less impressed or uninspired by both the Toyota and the Jaguar. What an utter waste of R&D time on both. An architectural equivalent that comes to mind is the strip mall.

    Now this strange.

    After the server problem a few hours ago, I went back to the TLEs and saw that my progress from all the cups were missing. I am still on the leaderboards though, but the data is showing that I am unranked and didn't participate. I also seem to have a problen synchronizing the event.

    Anyone else having the same issue? #

    My tourney tries aren't synching either at the moment. What a waste of expensive boosters and frustrating fuel bars.

    There is a glitch/big problem in the TOS of asphalt 8
    Let's start:
    1. Defining the word
    Gameloft Inc. («we», «our» or «us») operates the Gameloft website (the «Site»), provides various apps, games and social networks (the «Apps»), and offers certain other features, content, or contests from time to time (collectively, «Additional Features») (the Site, Apps, and Additional Features shall hereinafter sometimes be collectively referred to as the «Services»).
    2. Payment
    We may charge fees associated with certain Services, including, without limitation, for subscriptions, the download of Apps, and the purchase of Virtual Items (as defined below). Such products or services will be made available for purchase on specified pages of the Site, within the Apps, or otherwise as indicated through the Services. In the event of any fee changes by Gameloft, Gameloft will provide you with commercially reasonable notice of such charge.
    3. Virtual items
    Certain Services may allow you to «earn» or «purchase» (a) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in the Services; (b) virtual in-game items (together with virtual currency); or (c) certain in-game benefits ("Virtual Items»). Virtual Items have no real world value and cannot be redeemed for actual currency, goods or other items of monetary value, including in the event that you have unused Virtual Items remaining in your account at the time your account is closed, whether such closure was voluntary or not. All sales of Virtual Items are final. No refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion.

    My question now!
    Did anyone of you guys got a notice that the price of the boosters will change before updating to the new version of the game? The new price compared to the duration of the old boosters is way up high.

    That is defenetly a breach of the TOS by gameloft.
