The cards in general have never really been explained. You'll see that some say, 'Common,' 'Rare,' and 'Legendary.' Previously, we maxed our cars by purchasing upgrades (levels 1-5) with credits. Now, the performance of each car can be enhanced further with the cards. But unlike the levels, the cards are given out randomly. You have to hope you get a card that works on the car you want to upgrade. If you go to a car and look at the upgrades, it will list the cards needed to get the level shown. You can win cards and buy cards with the new tokens. Hope that helps.
I see that graphics came up in the discussion. I use Bluestacks. HectorX said version 0.8.9, but that's just ICS. Last version which works, is 0.9.2 KK 4.4.2 android. Newer version are just black in Asphalt 8. I don't remember that the older had better performance, but I would have to try it again. I remember not preferring it over native Windows 8.1 app, because of the graphics, frame and input lag. But now there is no Windows update, I gave back my faulty Lumia 625 to T-mobile, so Android remains... ANDROID graphics here: currently, for me at least on 0.9.2 bluestacks, graphics does not affect traffic or urban havoc items (or whatever they are being called in the new Asphalts) So everybody gets equal nitro. On L625 by the way, there is no traffic, and no city havoc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV9MFj7XQog android lowest setting: low texture quality, there is reflection on the car, but on nothing else low: still low textures, but houses are a bit better, and anisotropy is better medium, recommended by me: reflections in the garage, reflection on the Asphalt, higher quality textures (almost as PC), sharper colors, better visibility. Applies a filter when you trigger third nitro stage. That's the only annoying thing. high: would be better, because of more anisotropy, and so you could see clearer, but MOOOOTIOOON BLUUUR. So I said no. It's more than enough to see in on Windows, where you can't change settings. Do you think that graphics affect gameplay? For me, there was no performance difference, they were equally shit compared to a PC. But game phisics might alter. Or AI. On android, I frequently end up the car on it's top, gat 1,5 barrel rolls, and so on. Windows Phone update is also really full of bugs. Random bumps, barrel rolls on flat ramp with K1, San Diego, before the hanging container... Windows 8.1 was buggy too, but not that buggy... PS: Do you think Abhinav and Public Enemy found something? They have too good time. And Abhinav has only two "average" or "reasonably reachable" videos on youtube. But not his current best, which is almost 0,8 sec faster! His time is still this (end of video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0YotPy0Nj4
Tanking my ranking Finally done it my ranking is down to 758 for the third time, it's been hard work but I got there after 5 months
I think it just means they don't usually record when they get their best runs, maybe because of lag or something. Also, you don't exactly want to reveal just how you got so good, maybe the general route, but not the little tricks you do
Yeah, I know that they aren't playing on PC's. And I understand why would they hide a trick. Even we had an agreement about not revealing when the San Diego glitches were new. But man, this is a huge difference to be "little tricks". But in the end, we will see. Also, I didn't speak about flying debris and leaves. You need medium graphics, but I don't think it's annoying.
I know a guy on the ReV team who says the found a trick which is how they got low 1:14?! And apparently abhinav might have self found it or something At the same time, on the crappier videos, I can see some minor errors so I wouldnt get too suspicious. Although Elite Atif's videos sometimes look a bit too normal to be that good :/ As for graphics, the high graphics for me was a bit dizzying at the beginning but never really bothered me. What I hate though is the sunlight that blocks a corner of the screen, THAT IS SOO ANNOYING
He did record a vid of his time and I already saw it ( we're in contact with each other) and on his new run he did some minor changes like more barrels on one ramp,other drifts etc.But he is not dumb if he shows that vid to his community,other wise about 500 players would how to get such a good time.
Can anyone explain the points awarded in TLE multiplayer? It seems as though the number of points awarded for a win decreases as I my total number of points increases. The first times I race I seem to get about 350 points for a win, but by the time I have 3 or 4 thousand points my total number of points seems to be increasing by only 30 or 40 points each win. Are points awarded inversely proportional to your total or is it just my perception? Like the feeling that I am the only one who gets creamed at the start, when in fact everyone feels this way.
tbh, I just put 5-10 pts on it, and its not an I win car like the 599XX Legendary cards are used for different purposes. Some cars like bugatti , and furai card can only be PRO upgraded with legendary cards(W16 and rotary engine cards respectivly, and you need 15/25 each to Pro em all out^^ =. Others like some of my better a and s class cars need smthn like a legendary card at like lvl 3/5 and up. Just hold on to whatever you dont find a use for, it'll come.
No, you've pretty much nailed it. The point system is specifically designed to get as many players bunched up as closely as possible on the leaderboard, so they have to play as often as possible and hopefully (cross your fingers GL!) buy lots of fuel refills.
Thanks for the info then. I wanted to know if there is something big as the San Diego ones, or not. Because if not, I won't start wasting my time by searching for it. (and I still don't request his video and his time, I understand he wants the car) And yeah, Dragon's Den and barrel rolls can be pretty random. I have a good single tank time (maybe current best, but makes no sense), and can't reproduce it. Do you guys, experience a drift issue often? When I want to drift, the car just brakes a small and goes forward. Much more often that on Windows. On Windows I rarely see that... That's really annoying. About TLE multi, it depends on how many players finish, and which in place do you finish. Bu yeah, the goal is to waste your fuel. I think I only tried once, to compete in those. It's not worth it. I won't be enslaved by a game.
As far as I know there is no glitch on dragons den, as 6353 says the times set by PE and summer clan are just made by using the nitro correctly. I get that drift problem quite a lot too, I have noticed it is almost always the next time I press brake after I have used a wiggle drift before. If it is always the same corners like it seems to be with me, you can be ready to double press it to activate drift.
Why dragons den? I really don't like this track I can't seem to do one perfect race without slightly screwing up somewhere especially the drifting at the last S turn :/
The end kills me on this track, in some cars I can do it quite well but this one I seem to be struggling a lot. I have a time of 1:15:879 and I know I could be at least 1s faster if I could finish well, the rest is pretty straightforward.
I can't get that car to wiggle well which wrecks every run. I don't think it will be of any use anyway.
I know what you mean, I always swing around too wide in it and usually hit the wall as I exit which also ruins the perfect runs
At least u managed to get 1:15:xxx my best time is 1:18:xxx ! -___- and I can't beat my time :/ I'm not gonna bother try anymore im already near the 3000's in the ranking anyway and I'm not keep wasting my credits on items trying in vain to get a decent time in this event its a lost cause to me lol..
Wow that's so different from me, I can get the end decently well, I just struggle at the start, the barrel onto the left side of the temple bridge thing absolutely kills me. I thinks thats 90 percent of my wrecks. What's weirder is even when I get a decent run I still cant best my 1:14:997, which is currently 51st
