Dang, I knew I should have made that bet. Ricky might even have taken it. By the way, after playing the multiplayer tournament some more, I am convinced now that it would be a good idea for regular multiplayer to switch to the tournament's scoring system. It seems to do a much better job rewarding stuff like finishing second in front of a couple of far superior cars, for example. And just think, all those complaints about losing 10 points because of disconnections and phone calls would go away. You'd simply get zero points, same as if you had never participated in the race. That's easier to stomach than getting punished for something you can't control. Another problem that would go away is that as of now, if you're near the top of the world series, and if you're about to finish third or worse, the current scoring system encourages you to drop out of the race early, because you'll lose less points that way. How stupid is that? Finishing the race should always be rewarded compared to chickening out. Yes, the new scoring system is designed to make it very easy to catch up, and some might not like that, but that's what Gameloft has been trying to achieve for months. And the new system is at least less frustrating than the old one. It would also allow for a less insane matching algorithm, where car rank differences could top out at, say, a 50 points difference.
I went back and tried regular mp while my fuel bar was filling and have to say by comparison it is dull. The mismatching of cars is the biggest problem. The tlemp is evenly matched and fun to race in. The prize structure and length of the tournament needs work. I would like to see a winning streak rewards system which would reward the skilled not just zombie grinders. Lasst night I was in the top 10 this morning I dropped to 600. You can get it back as it seems that the further you are away from the lead the easier it is to gain points but ultimately those who can play most will win. There is a bug in SanDeigo. On top of the roof of the factory building you randomly explode when coming in from the barrel roll. Also at the start I am getting put on the pause screen when taping for nitro.
All of those bugs are the same for me,but there is another one where you (the ramp after the hard left turn on the start) you randomly make a half barrel roll
Have you noticed that the first section of San Diego is the same as French Guiana Reverse? I mean, the same warehouse location with a make-up. http://youtu.be/mARbJ6ZZrVo ... And sadly, this track is too short!
Hehehehe, the Squirrel beat the Mice!! Even with extra tank.... Me too, played the London Eye cup i tapped the nitro it gave me pause screen
Same here and I think I'm the only one here using the steering wheel. I've had it in Seasons and TLEs so far, really frustrating
Using tilt as well. I found another bug. When you land after the factory roof before going into the last hard left it fires you back in the air as if you have hit a ramp. It has happened 3 times now in the same spot.
Fabien, two questions: 1. When will the update hit Android? Within days or weeks? 2. Update on iOS multiple account issue?
1. Usualy Android comes after iOS , and then it's Windows. Android usualy comes within week that follows iOS release. Windows will come latter than this. However that is not an established rule. 2. As I said before, the ones using this trick can't sync with the leaderboard. The solution is ready and it will come in an upcoming hotfix. Also, we found what is causing this "pause issue" when you try to use nitro. The solution will be implemented in an hotfix ASAP.
Thanks a lot for the reply! I'm confused. Are you referring to the fuel bar issue or the multiple account issue? I can still see people with cloned accounts on the Biome leaderboard (it might just be people using accounts they cloned before, though). In any case, it would be great if you can ban people from cloning accounts. There are already thousands of them floating around after all.
