    Does anybody know when the San Diego map comes out? Or is it out already?
    (I just can't get online for some odd reason) :confused:

    Anyway. Can someone recommend me which best B-class car to use for Monaco? I was thinking Biome (which is what I'm saving for, now I'm at 300k :p ) but it doesn't seem to outrun other cars, especially with it's poor nitro speed...

    Also, can someone comment on whether the B-class Shelby would/wouldn't be great to invest in? I mean it's only 85k, but does it compare or compete well with others of similar rank?

    Cheers

    Even with 2 GL reps in this thread(Are they for real?) most every legit and objective critisism of this game, has lead to nope, not improvement, but several large steps in quite the opposite direction.
    I doubt the A8 development team consists of nothing but monkeys these days, and as for customer service, thats really the economic department, counting the zeros they can add to the ballance sheets.

    No words can ever make me believe A8 isnt dying, only action, and some very intelligent at that.

    Still, I find my fun in A8, and I do enjoy whats left of once an awsome game

    If you remove "honest/gentlemen" players, much like active mebers of this thread, then the hackers and clans. I do believe GL has a quite solid customer base willing to pay for fuel, coin doubler, extra tank, not to mention coin and iap store.
    If not, why would they even fubar this game and their customers the way they do?

    I don't know about the Maserati but all the other b-class cars are inferior to the biome! I think the Shelby, Gallardo and the 599XX are almost the same, the Gallardo a bit better on longer tracks with less nitro because of better stock speed! I've said it more than once but all my MP points I made on the 599XX. I still love that car but it's no use taking it to competition when not fully boosted! Even the CLK doesn't match the Biome. Hang on I have a ghost that might be interesting season 1, Great Wall, MB CLK GTR AMG 1:07.235 unboosted. I know that some of you tried to beat that with the Biome and failed, I don't want to replace that ghost with the biome so I never tried!

    It's good...to an extent but for events with B class cars the biome is top choice. I have the biome but not maxed out right now so I use my maxed out Shelby I wanna max out my biome but im busy trying to feverishly grind to max out my K one:1 which is at S1666 right now and I need another 900000 credits for the final top speed and nitro upgrade

    Up to now all B class events had been won by Biome. In GL forum I made comparism between TOP B class cars. Unfortunately forum is down for service so I cannot copy it here (maybe later). Result was that Biome should have rank of 1530 which would reflect its real power.

    Biome is the go-to car in all of the B class TLEs, the handling allows you to complete almost all maps at top speed without drifting at all. There are a couple of exceptions to that where it seems to be slightly better to do a short drift but they are few and far between. Be warned though it's very expensive to upgrade, maybe 1.3m if not more, maybe someone can confirm or correct that? I used the shelby to complete the seasons but haven't used it since. Gallardo is probably the best of the cost effective Bs but it is quite a bit away from the biome on lap times.

    Welcome to the forum :) add me on iOS, I think it's #FF0000Dave327 atm, normally the same name as here but have been messing about with it lately.

    There's an event somewhere around season 5 or 6 maybe on French guiana that I set my best time with the CLK and can't beat it with biome, I'll have a look for yours and try both on there too. When I was racing nemesis CLK ghost I couldn't catch it in the biome but did in the CLK. Seemed to be pulling away a lot in the big straight through the vehicles at the end.

    Do a QuickRace with Biome on Great Wall and that will tell you if you can achieve 1:07:235
    I just don't know if I SHOULD pay 450k plus the huge upgrade prices for the Biome (I want to make the right decisions, cause I once bought the Agera and was told that it was the worst choice ever XD lol)

    Thanks btw :)

    1,276,425 credits to upgrade Biome (and don't forget the 450k to buy it ;) )
    equals 1,726,425. WOW! I really need to start farming :D but I'm sure it will go on sale on Christmas, it ought to be! What do you think?

    Thanks for the help btw :)

    No problem. It could go on sale at Xmas but you're maybe only looking at 100-150k saving, isn't much when the upgrade price is taken into account. It's a really interesting car to drive, handles like nothing else in the game, I hated it at first but after playing the s9 map hundreds if not thousands of times to get credits I've grown to really like it now that I mostly understand what it is all about.

    Btw did I see you mention before you're on android? If not and you're on iOS add me in gc, I put my name in the previous comment :)

    I'm on Android, sorry. But I started to play on my iPad from noob level and the first "major" car that I'll buy will be the Biome, then P1, then Lotus, just to start things off in the right way :cool:

    I'll add you :) only thing is, (if you look at this screenshot http://imgur.com/rp0GvGY ) why am I put in the hackers leaderboard? I mean I have my iPad jailbroken and all that, but I also have (well, had) my Note 3 Neo rooted (I lost it) but I only saw 1 chinese sky member and 1 chinese summer member on the Android leaderboards and everyone else was legit. It's really confusing, you see? :confused:
    Who do you see on your leaderboard?

    Well that makes both of us. I currently have only the Gallardo, which I liked until the Biome came along. Guess I should start farming for this stupid thing. Or should I just wait for either a sale, a new B-class car that might actually be viable, or A9/NFS No Limits to come out and make this game irrelevant?

    Speaking of updates, how likely is it that this game will get one? It needs one badly IMO since it's in pretty shape. Maybe that New York rumour from awhile back will be confirmed, or we'll get some new winter-themed track. Like...Antarctica?

    Doesn't look like the hackers leaderboard tbh, just that the guy in 1st in your pic has slipped to 8th and the open guys are all above now, think openjing5 is top and openQY 2nd.

    Hopefully that picture is fake like some others used to be.
    Yes, they are real. We can't fully blame them because they are only community managers (or something like that). That's like asking the school's janitor to change the school curriculum and getting mad when they can't. They don't have the power most think. All they can do is relay our opinions to their bosses.

    I'm not sure Gameloft can do anything to redeem this game, it's a lost cause in that respect. Me personally, i find almost no enjoyment from the game, which is why I have no interest to play anymore outside of the community. That's the main reason I barely post now, I'm not current with the game anymore. I've grown sick of it completely plus I bought an xbox (after months of saving up from my job) so that's my real entertainment.
    I'm hoping it is. Time for the new because the downfall of this game is getting old. I'll play A9 once I see some gameplay, changes and overall vision of Gameloft. It'll eventually turn into how A8 is now but hopefully I'll have the chance to play it in its prime.
