Ugh i hate that stupid fuel system so ��������ing much. The game had been behaving horrible the last few days. Black screens, freezing, exiting app, time outs, loading times that take forever. And now it screwed me out of a full fuel bar and the two tries with the double tank booster I had. Game starts completely normal, I activate all my boosters and startup the race. It runs through the loading screen fine but than when the race starts the screen is completely black, there is only some audio in the background. Nothing responds except to turn the screen off (which normally pauses the game). Look at the screenshot, everything is in mirror image and upside down Unpausing it causes it to just go back to a fully black screen.. So that just happened to me twice and screwed me out of a huge chuck of usage for the double tank. Didn't get to do my two runs with that ugly ass flying squirrel car. Awesome. WTF Gameloft, what is this shit?
Running the Biome race without activating boosters is an odd experience. The extreme width of the front means avoiding contact with the AI is next to impossible...
Sooo frustrated I just can't seem to get a clean enough run to beat my 1:22:xx time, which is only good for 14th so far. I'm following the same route but I find it hard to believe that my few mistakes cost me 4 seconds! Also, 50 minutes between runs is pretty ridiculous, I understand that it reduces grinding but I think 30 minutes would suffice. Red
If you can't pull off everything like Hector did, just try to make an imperfect version of it (like taking the barrel rolls higher) and work from there. I did about 600 milliseconds slower than him, but it shows that I'm not far from it. Also, it doesn't reduce grinding IMO. Let's compare the scenario pre-update and post-update: - Before fuel arrived, we had to pay to rent cars. Let's say the price is 10000 credits (was in that price range before the update). Best case scenario, you had free boosters, making the cost only 10000. With the daily reward maxed and doubled credits booster, you could gain up to 14000 credits, making a benefit of 4000 per day. W/o the daily reward, you lose 3000 credits, so 2 consecutive tries per day would make a benefit of 1000. - After update, it costs nothing to participate, making your benefit 14000 after first try, and 22000 with 2 consecutive attempts. And this is only taking the best case scenario. I could make more calculations for each case and it will still prove my theory (unless you take the renting prices before they were raised).
You must be running without the extra tank. If so, the best you can get to is in the high 1:19 range and that's a chore with just two or three runs a day. Being smooth is one key to a good time. There's very little drifting with this car very brief in that early right-hander. What's the top guy in your group have for a time? If it's in the 1:18s, you might want to take a pass on this one.
LoL, was hesitated to do so at first, but after going thru so many things I'm really sick of it as i also reach the Top 100 too. I know that. I've dropped really bad a few times and then climb all the way up again for about 3-4 times(100-200+Pts).
I'm stick at 1:19:505 in the Biome tournament. The first place guy has 1:18:608 so I'm pretty much screwed. So much for this car
After 4 tries, I managed to successfully make almost every single barrel roll, the only one failed being the ramp before the other one where Hector failed in his video, and I sort of know how to fix this. I dunno about you all, but I have no problem with doing barrel rolls with this flying squirrel car
I think we're in the same group. Gave it three tries fully boosted the other day, but I'd probably need a dozen tries to even get close to the leader. Just don't have the time or interest, for that matter.
I've got a Chinese Sky member in the division. It's hard to compete with cheaters that have infinite boosters and double accounts. Specially with the weird behavior the game has displayed for me, combined with nice glitches like sudden 90 degrees left turns that the flying squirrel makes. It's frustrating to feel like you don't even have a fair shot
1:19.165, current 1º on my division, but was a really bad lap. Using Public Enemy route, no barrel roll after high climb (only a low jump), too high penultimate barrel roll (2.6 seconds), and again no barrel roll at end xD Despite this, 1º, but I need to improve
That still means I can't be in a race with you, because I don't know if you've just been in a special event or not. The longer I play this game, the more allergic I react to unfair matchups. When Gameloft introduced the extra tank, I knew it would eventually make mutliplayer unplayable in a competitive way for those who don't like to acquire extra tanks by playing daily TLEs or paying for them. I figured my only hope was boycotting the extra tank and lobbying for others to do the same. And that seemed to make sense as long as I thought I had at least one ally in Mohamed. But now it's dawning on me that nobody else thinks it's an issue worth making a fuss over. So Gameloft was right, apparently they can sneak in more and more pay-to-win elements, and people will just get used to it, because it's convenient to keep using an extra tank while you can't compete in a TLE, for example. I can't blame those who caved it's just a game, after all. But I can hold a grudge against Gameloft because of it. I'm pretty good at holding grudges.
Copy my route of my vid dark. My current time is 1:18:531, I did the same route. I improved my time by skipping the last barrel roll and the first barrel roll (at 0:40 in vid) was really low. You can do it too You're right Hector, you're able to see my steering with my controls. Same for you, try to do a low barrel roll at 0:40 (approx. 1.30 air time) and skip the last ramp.
I tried your route but the problem I have is those split second brakes you make. When I try, it just makes my car drift instead. Ironically, when I don't want to brake on hard turns, I do. When I actually want to brake, I can't.
Mmm yeah, that trick is hard while tilting. Why don't you try it again but just with perfect nitro at those 2 points. I don't think they make that much of a big difference in timing. Btw, I've uploaded a new vid about the Alps cup, I did 58:475. http://youtu.be/Y-KnxZ_DjCM
Nope, I'm running with the extra tank. It's hard to be really smooth using the keyboard on a PC but it is what it is. I'm embarrassed to say that no one is under 1:20 in my division Red
