You can probably expect a lot of removed times over the next 4 days, I've noticed quite a bit lately, especially on the regional events. My times are poor so far, only on 1:08:xxx on the timed one so need to waste more fuel on it unfortunately. The SDR wasn't great but I hit the barrel glitch well and was 5th last I checked so hopefully I won't need to spend any more fuel on it as it's only top 50. The biome needs a lot of work, I'm only on a high 58 and was barely in the top 20 last I checked, I fully expect it to get very competitive as the week goes on for all the tanks on offer. I'll maybe use a tank tonight and one on the final night too if needed. You shouldn't need the double barrel off that first ramp, there's a perfect run kicks in just after and also there's always that slightly hard to catch blue before the next ramp if you're in trouble, biome has good nitro duration too. I'm not gonna attempt the rail trick with 4 fuel at stake, I'm bad enough at performing it at the best of times never mind in the biome. Edit: got the clock cup out of the way, still a poor lap but within the top target so that's it finished for me. Had one attempt at the biome too and got down to 58:179 (one place behind nemesis...again lol) so far, but that's gonna need to improve, almost certainly will use a tank on it tonight and see where I get to.
I have improved now, still without using bridge thing. In quick race mode I did 56.95x. On the cup I'm current 2º with 57.057... Only 2 attempts Here is my 56.95x http://youtu.be/Gderhm7adYg
Thanks as always hector, your videos are invaluable during these cups most of the time I was watching your French Guiana one earlier and thought of something, I noticed you sometimes use a 2 lap race and freeze it at the end of lap 1, have you ever put that to the test with a 1 lap race? I only ask because sometimes I'm watching the clock as I finish a lap and I can read the last number I see so I think that's what I've got, but then I see it in the next screen and it is always 0.033 more. I hope that makes sense lol! Just would be interesting if you had used your editing software to test it out.
Hectorx, big shoutout to you and many other generous members in this forum. I've been watching your videos recently. SDR: Have no idea how I'm slower by 2 second using a maxed P1. My time is 55 seconds even with hitting the nice barrel to water. Could it be that I'm doing 2- 3 barrel rolls on the barrel roll. Alps/ Speed vs. Skill: Is the Biome necessary on this track vs. the Shelby GT500. I'm running around 1:02 with the Shelby but don't have a Biome lol Guiana: Bridge glitch? or is that on Alps? Any tips on this track?
No wall bounce? Is it slower with the Biome or just borderline impossible to do? Anyway, good job on your time
On SDR I noticed in a previous cup that a 'worse' lap in the GTR got me a better time than the good lap I had made in the P1, I can't remember the gap but it was significant, although not 2-3s. Where do you go after the glitch respawn? Up the ramp or the lower route to the right? If the number of barrels is affecting it then it will be minimal, I wouldn't worry about that as long as you are hitting the barrel and not flat spinning over the top into it. On Alps, yes. Biome is always necessary in B class cups now. The shelby is also lagging behind the Mercedes CLK and the gallardo too in B class. I've seen the point made before that it's at least as good as the gallardo based on the combined top speed and nitro, but I don't see that in practice even though the stats show that. No glitch on French Guiana that I know of. The bridge glitch is on Alps and it's just where you land on a railing to get a little extra higher speed falling air time, there's videos on YouTube on it, I think I first seen it on EliteSCM's page if you wanna try find it. With regard to tips, I just texted my brother a tip on it 5 mins ago: watch Hector's video lol He actually takes a slightly different route than I had been trying and even though I performed it badly I got into the top target time in the P1.
I'm not Hector, but the Shelby is bad on Nitro u will need the Mercedes CLK GTR AMG at least to have a slight chance I had on single tank a low 59.2xx which could have been improved by the rail trick. Search Public Enemies videos and look for alps in Maserati or Mustang I can't remember properly, he will show you? SDR, a fast start is key to post a low number try to not hit any AI from the back you'll need high speed jumping onto the first carrier. In my opinion the P1 is faster because of its better Nitro Duration plus you don't need to launch an extra tank. With p1 you don't need to hit the barrel on the high road short before the drop I did one very low one. If you do you can triple NOS most of the way. The fastest way to glitch is to crash at the corner of the warehouse but tough to pull off, sometimes you respawn before the warehouse. I'm on an improbable 53.2xx right now and will give the Sesto some fuel to see if it's better acceleration can shave something off. Again Hector a really nice run, even though you slightly hit some wall, might even be improveable, best on iOS Germany is summer with 56.892.
Do you mean crash into the corner of the building?? I haven't seen it done that way before but it would be much quicker than going all the way to the water. How did the credit farming go at the weekend? Maybe you can max the GTR now and retire the P1
After having to take quite a few runs with the lackluster, slippery Merc around Dubai to get one tank, it was a nice contrast to get three new Cups where you could post respectable, not-overly-frustrating laps in each using just eight of the 10 units that make up a full fuel bar get in and get out. And, like others have said, I did notice GL lads cleaning up some of the leaderboards during the Pagani H shootout. By the way, that is not a horrible car. In acceleration, it gets dusted by the Savage and little McLaren, but upgrade it to about 1540 (I think that's correct) and run tuning kit and nitro and it's a dandy little ride certainly surprised a few other Savage, Biome drivers fully tanked up in MP. It's fast and offers nice, tight handling and lovely nitro duration. Lastly, read up on TAS. I could certainly see where it would help in the TLEs, but I'm not sure folks would be willing to spend the time needed to do it. The one thing that leads me to believe it's being used is that TAS folks don't think it's cheating in any way the same deluded way of thinking we've seen from the have CLAN will travel types.
I'm quite pleased with the new cups too for the first time in a while. Although I didn't like the last one I still got an easy division and an easy tank so can't really complain too much. I've already maxed the Huayra but I do like driving it in s9, it seems to have a nice smooth balance to it. Just something about it feels really good to drive even at very high sensitivity which can't be said for a lot of similarly ranked cars. I've probably asked you this before but I don't think you're on my list, do you want to give me your gc username and I'll add you??
Yes crash into the corner and drop in the water, but it's not that easy. Farming went not so well only made 1.5 M on the weekend which was consumed by the One:1 which is now maxed and as I said before a beast on wheels! So easy in handling even at 100 % totally under control. Next is the savage, will need another 1.5 I guess or even more, currently it's on 1502. I saw you are not regular Dave anymore, did this come with benefits or name only? 2621 I also would like to add you, #FF0000kj#FFB90FOli78 is my ID.
I'm and old man and don't do any of that stuff, Dave, or the Seasons, ghosts, any other video games, etc. Just do MP and the TLEs.
I'll have to give that a try, sounds interesting, I take it you mean the wreck goes into the water? I tried smashing into it but it gave me the wrong respawn so assumed that's not what you meant lol. Yeah the name is a work in progress, too many characters atm but I want to keep the red so will come up with something, might change the Dave part to 戴夫 which is what comes up as a Google translation for Dave lol. If you mean by benefits things like cars and cheats etc then no, I've just been chatting to the other guys a bit and got the time requirements and stuff, that's not what this team is all about. I haven't gone over to the dark side lol, although I must admit I was briefly intrigued by the Merry Xmas files but aside from anything else I wouldn't risk my account (or my device with iTools) for a few IAP cars that I can live without, too much time and effort and a little money has gone into it for that.
kjOli78, Darn I thought muscle always beat import lol. Found the Alps glitch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkmoZ-D9shI&list=UUBp9fykkM1D0LA7rjOriZBg SDR, I ran the 55:00 with knocking down IA cars on the side of my car though I had to drift slightly to make the turn. Still achieved max speed before ramp . After the respawn I go to the right (trippling). Could my time be because I'm not running (any) boosted? For Guiana would it be better getting all the bottles (and jumping) or keep on the path and get every other bottle?
Did I say I want my 57 single tanked on Alps? Check. After dropping to 12th I had a little practice session in Quick race mode and tried different scenarios. That Furai AI is always the craziest, only one out of ten runs there is enough space between him and the ramp so you can pass him without getting airborne or wreck him. Best non summer, kb, Chinese or whatever and best single tanked so far, I hope that'll be enough for the tanks. Currently 8th. Is it possible to go lower on single tank? Here's what the leaderboard looks like! No7 is some kb. Edit: funny no. 1 had been deleted midday, and now he is back up. Why is that? Does GL simply remove times but not ban the account? There must be something wrong that a not fully upgraded biome sits on top or he is a hell of a driver. Or TAS maybe?
55 non boosted is a pretty good lap, TK and Single Nos and 52 is possible. That's my next task after reaching my goal on Alps. Guiana depends on the boosts you've got. Single tanked on GTR you'll need all bottles you can get the P1 might not need the blue ones, simply follow Hectors route.
I'm not normally one to defend Summer clansters, but in this case, the Biome is most likely only missing a handling upgrade or two. And that probably doesn't make a difference on this track. (Actually, if you ask me, the Biome gets worse the more you upgrade its handling.)
That mighty be an explanation. Since they use multiple accounts they maybe set the car for different tracks. And alps is quite a handling track.
SDR I'm currently 4th with P1 single tanked 53.238, the start is not so easy, unpredictable AI and not a lot of room to go out of their way. I don't know if the GTR is faster but I left some GTRs double tanked behind me! Is it possible to go 52 with P1 on single tank? Hey kjOli, yes, we have a 52.xx P1 in my division. I ran a 53.066, I'm pretty sure I will pull off a 52 today. How are you times in the biome alps? Best I have done so far is 58.3xx single tanked.
HISNBERG, you must run in U.S. region as do I. I see the name quite often in country-specific TLEs. How long, may I ask, have you been playing the Asphalt franchise?
