    Haha that's amazing consistency hector! That's why you win all the top prizes, able to do it when it counts :)

    Regarding the claiming prizes, I saw it mentioned here before about having a week to claim but have never put it to the test. I'm just going to grind like crazy until Friday and use them on the GTR but I guess you already have it maxed. I was chatting here last week with someone and they planned to hold off on last weeks prizes until this Friday for the GTR. If you can find those posts and contact them maybe they can let you know how that worked out.

    No problem buddy, sure if you guys ever relax your rules just add me :)

    Thanks GameLoft

    Thanks for sorting out my missing points glitch which moved me to 101 and out of the rewards. I am now one away from my target of 50 tanks.:) (you have to make your own challenges sometimes)

    I usually use 85%, but sometimes 100%. In my 1:34.083 I think I used 100%
    Current 2º, first did 33 ms better...

    Nice one :) pretty fast too, I thought you might be in for a long battle in that one!

    Did they give any indication as to what causes it? I've had the same but it never affected prizes so just left it.

    I emailed Ryan and He put a word in I think. No comment from them as to the cause.

    Can somebody help me out please?

    I lost my Note 3 Neo so I probably won't be able to play for a while until I find it but if my data is saved in the cloud, will I be able to continue on an iOS device? Or will I have to get hold of another Android in the meantime?

    PS: I've tried Bluestacks, but every time I try to play A8 on it, the cars would disappear. I can't see them at all, neither in the race nor on any of the menu screens. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done?

    Thanks

    I used to watch F1 a long time ago. There was a lot of hope for Barrichello when he was with Ferrari. He did OK, but not something spectacular. I didn't believe he would get first place on races either, and ended up surprised when he did.

    I really felt a difference with an upgraded Biome too. It becomes more stiff as you upgrade it further.

    Nice, I still have a long way to go before I reach that :eek:
    First of all, welcome.
    For your problem: sadly, the Android could cannot be loaded on an iOS device and vice-versa, despite both platforms being able to use the user's FB account. You're stuck with finding your Note 3 Neo, getting another Android device or just simply start over with an iOS device.

    Hi Mate!
    For all posts you wanna quote-reply on, press M/quote, and when you are ready to make a post, simply press the "Add Reply" button bottom left, and you'll get all the quotes you chose in a nice orderly fashion.
    You can start with your own post at the top, then reply to the other as you move down. Preview post is a great way to se how it would look, and where you wanna edit. Hope this helps ;)

    And to Fabian/Ryan, is there a particular reason you can not implement downgrades, no matter how you price it (Free :D )
    It would most certainly make for a much more fun game, when not only a select few can fine tune their cars for MP rapage

    Very nice time, you would be 2nd in iOS leaderboard atm with that :)

    That's good to know about the prizes for the future, although by next week I hopefully won't need any more upgrades unless new cars are released or the IAP cars become available for credits. I only very recently subscribed to LH so haven't seen too many of his videos yet.

    With more then one mistake, and a single tank, I have a 1.39.6.
    What I do at the end part, is spin on first jump, tripple to next roof, tripple into garage, tripple through it, and perfect nitro for the finnishing run.

    Man, you really do find the coolest ways get even a small advantage, like flying out the end of the tunnel, gaining even higher speed for a sec or two. Thanks for sharing, I always learn smthn.

    And to those asking for Hectors sensitivity, I think it plays out a bit different, as iirc he play on a computer using bluestacks. What'a ya think HectorX?

    And Lastly, have you tested Andy? I read a test, where it had better performance if you use it for gaming.

    Suggestions

    Hello together,
    I am new here in that forum as I'm an Android player. As here are a lot of good players (also from Android) I have followed it quite a while. Some here know me already from GL forum, Android users maybe also from leaderboards.

    I'm posting here as I saw some suggestions and would like to add a list of suggestions I have created based on feedback in GL forum. As here are more players with a lot of experience it would be great to have some comments. Maybe GL will change something if more pro players claim it. I havn't sorted the list. There are some items which are more an option and it would not be a drama if it is not fulfilled. Other are in my oppinion a mandatory change, as many complain that problem.

    1. - Car rank and price should reflect the real power of the car.
    2. - Change mulitplayer rank system. Maybe it is more fair getting always plus points for the first 3 places. These guys are the winners, e.g. 5, 3, 1 points for first, second and third places. It is nonsense to give players with weaker car and without items zero or minus points if they are on second place and only beaten by a stronger car with all items. The points shold reflect the performance a driver did in the race.
    3. - Booster time should not decrease in real time, but only by time in race.
    4. - Add replay for multiplayer races (easiser to find out, who is cheating). Also in the seasons, some replay of how one has driven and maybe option to store it as video.
    5. - Option to remove tuning upgrades of cars again
    6. - There are season races that can only be completed by cars which can be only bought with real money. Add an option to borrow the car (for a race or some time) to make those races. I remember that it was promised that those extra cars shall not influence game in a way that they are necessary to proceed or win. But now we are not able to complete seasons.
    7. - Would be nice to see if someone has beaten my ghost in season screen. Currently one has to go to each race and open list with all ghost. Maybe by an red ghost symbol instead of the blue onw
    8. - Add ghosts to all drift and classic events in the seasons. Some of those events do not have ghost. Why?
    9. - Make amount of laps in MP preselectable. One shall only enter rooms with drivers all wanting 1 lap, 2 laps or 3 laps, respectively
    10. - Increase amount of fuel bars for events to 20, maybe even 30
    11. - Review the respawn points after crashes. Some are unfairly advantageous, some are a to strong drawback.
    12. - Review ramps: some lead often to wrecking (esp. when jumping over bridges or water)
    13. - Take away wrecking animation in season and events, or make it selectable (in the latter everyone is content). The second loss of control of your car is only causing lots of crashes
    14. - Prices for multiplayer events are ridiculous. Last Koenigsegg one mpe only 20 people were rewarded with the car, i.e. several millions and second reward was only 2 extra tanks. The efford for being in TOP 100 of such an event is tremendous. Due to this, many stopped playing those type of event. Please take into account the bigger efford compared to standard events
    15. - Prices for premium packs: Please discuss if it wouldn't generate greater revenue for GL if premium packs would cost only 2€ instead of 20-100€. Car hacking and selling on black market would be less attractive. In addition give 50% discount for people, having won one car of a pack.
    16. - Make pricing of car updates a little bit more fair. Millions for nearly each new car. 99% of all your players cannot afford this. If a game gets to a grind-feast, it will get soon annoying.
    17. - Take away banner with text after jumping in water or beside the track path. (Irritation, esp. on small screens)
    18. - Rework sensitivity for mobile devices. Rather frequent the break is not working (reported by several people up to now), if one wants to start a drift. This makes it impossible to achieve any record times. Only result is frustration.
    19. - Rework wrecking mechanism. Wether it is not stable enough or it has been wrecked. For cars in the air, it is luck who gets wrecked, no real system observable. On the ground you can sometimes push someone with full nitro for seconds in a wall, without wrecking. On the other hand someone touches you for a millisecond and you wreck immediately. In addition in start phase you should stop wrecking. it's just annoying.
    20. - Try to include all path of a track in a race (e.g. Green nitro giving full nitro for some time, block somes, like you did for Dubai and China on several tracks). Some nice parts of each tracks are currently just wasted.
    21. - Remove the "bug" that high ranked drivers get zero points for being first in a mp race with 3 or 5 opponents.
    22. - Option to sell boosters
    23. - One should be able to choose if one wants to use a free car upgrade or credits for the next car upgrade. At present very often free upgrades are wasted for level 0 or 1.
    24. - Make 2 separate lists for each ghost: One with times of unboostered cars, one for with boostered cars.

    All of this has been asked for for months. I suspect you won't see any change until A9.

    Welcome to the forum Zeremoniar :)

    Can't disagree with a single point you have made but I fear nemesis has just provided the most likely answer!

    Anyways forget the greeting as I created this account months ago and it looks like for iOS users only and I don't even know where we can contact Gameloft directly with these common sense suggestions that honestly every person has thought of. I email them and I get computer ready responses. So, is fabian or Ryan a game developer? We only managed to contact Fabien on their own forums changing the great wall respawn crash point and not the others like in Nevada crash after first ramp and of course others.

    The rating system in this game is so broken that this happened to me. [​IMG]

    Also a ghost challenge with no items on season 9 pagani huayra. [​IMG]

    A lot of the changes we'd like to see are results of monetizing the game:
    - emphasis on IAP vehicles
    - bleeding time in lobbies
    - emphasis on upgrades/increased cost
    - etc

    I think one of the things I dislike the most is that when I first started playing, and got my friends to play, I could say "Yes, there are IAPs, but if you're good enough or want to grind, they IAPs aren't required."

    That's not the case anymore.

    I've got the Achievements for 'every star', 'own every car', and 'maxed every car', but those are impossible to achieve now without IAPs. Basically, it's gone from a game for everyone, made easier with IAPS, to a game for people willing to pay.

    I'm not sure if situation is that bad. It's clear that GL will not make those changes which will decrease their ability to generate money with the game. But others things they might consider to keep us playing. Two things (rework of mp system and mp reward based on laps) which I told GL have been changed. Now they are working on the ramps which result in wrecking (will come with next update).

    But I agree that one gets only very seldom any feedback by Fabien and then only something like will communicate to team. Esp. concerning that annoying 4/6 driver problem I raised the question several times, also I directly adressed Fabien, just to know why they make it... no answer. Anyhow, something has been changed. I think the more we are claiming something, the better.

    Welcome! Great list of changes, I agree with the whole thing. But like Nemesis said, player-friendly changes like these aren't as likely as non-player-friendly changes.

    Hello and welcome aboard.
    That's a nice list of suggestions right there, but as Nemesis said:

    And if I may add anything, expect A9 to eventually suffer the same fate.

    I don't think they are (I can be wrong though). They're the people in charge of passing the suggestions, bugs and other stuff about the game to the devs and give us some feedback.
    <sarcasm>Also, that was a totally fair matchup, especially that 1700 player with the fully boosted and maxed Tuatara</sarcasm> :rolleyes:
