    GL just screwed me out of a parts box in the Expert Cup. The "Race Rewards" section clearly says 2 Parts Cards x2 for finishing top 250 and 2 Parts Cards (x1) for finishing the race. But...

    When I hit "Claim Rewards", it only gave me the 2 boxes for the Top 250. No box for finishing first. Should've received 3 boxes, got 2. Typical GL bullshit.

    Assuming you're on iOS, you're lucky that the prize for finishing the race gives you some cards. On Android it's 2,000 credits, and being first is +3000 credits

    Maybe in the future I will upgrade my P1, but at this moment I have other priorities :D

    You're welcome :)


    I have uploaded a new acceleration video, now with K1 and VMAX:

    Same here. The prize that you claimed is the same one that all regional players in the top 1250 got. While it was unusual that worldwide players had a chance to win more part cards, I thought it was Gameloft giving us a gift, since we never get exclusive regional cups. But no, it was just a mistake on their part, and of course, they are too corrupt to own up to it and give us what we were promised. Such a pathetically cheap company.

    By the way, if you check at the bottom of the 9FF Dragon's Den cup, you will see Leo, the same hacker who posted a ridiculous time of 2 seconds in the 9FF tournament. Gameloft can't give us the rewards that they advertised, but they are alright with giving the most obvious cheater in the world a car worth 12,000 tokens.

    The only good thing to come out of this is that the numerous Sky idiots who changed their country settings to flood the top 15 wasted their time doing so.

    Me too, finished at 12th, and got 4 cards instead of the 17 I should have. It's bad enough with the sheer randomness of the cards and now this?

    Great video as always hector:D
    have u raced against any one:1 ghost? I did and strangely, i found the vmax faster on alps.
    Even from your video,despite the significant acceleration difference, time to cover the same distance is much closer right?
    Still can't decide which one to pro

    Haha, I like that metaphor

    Very good suggestion!

    That's unfortunate, you can always grab a Moto G for around $150 and get on MP I suppose. I can't really complain about the prizes because this is a FTP game, can't expect GL to give everything away for free. I just have problems with some clan players switching countries back and forth to claim regional prizes...

    Nice video as always Hector, keep up the good work! I was too naive to think about the VMAX because I only made 59.2s on the first day and simply could not find a way to improve thereafter. Hopefully K1 can still keep up with VMAX in the new TLEs.

    Exactly those dumbasses who waited til the event ended still didn't make the top 20. But I'm surprised K-b Hyikun survived and stayed at #20 on the leaderboard

    That's it, from now on I'm gonna exploit the shit out of this shitty ass game and shitloft in all the ways I possibly can. Been an honest and faithful player for way over a year, paid my hard earned cash for credits/cars/boosters.. tirelessly farmed for ridiculous cars/upgrade prices.. played over 5000 MP races.. been nothing but understanding GL/A8 as a business model. But since the introduction of the noob tank I can't even start to imagine all the ways I feel like I have been cheated on as a user by GL, every single update since then.

    But tonight folks.. this stupid "Expert Cup" tonight is the drop that finally spills the cup for me. I spent way too much time and effort to get to top 100, plenty of tries and not to mention the pro upgrades (ugh I can't even say it without the hatred growing) and the boosters spent. Anyhow I achieved my goal and this morning I went to collect the 12 "parts cards" as promised but only to discover I only received 4 cards as you guys are reporting! Are u ####ing kidding me? I have nothing to say other than #### you GL.. just FU!!

    Btw, hi guys # Been a lurker for a while now and I must say you guys are awesome. This thread is fun to read in general and I also learnt a few tricks here and there. A special shoutout to hector, you're cool mate, been a long time subscriber to your chanel, keep up the good work.

    Sorry for posting such a rant but I needed to get it out if me.
    Cheers ✌

    Your frustration is understandable, but before you join the dark side, consider this: Did you really refrain from cheating up to now because you felt you owed it to Gameloft? Isn't being honest something you owe to yourself first and foremost?

    Me, I've been telling Gameloft representatives that they're actively encouraging cheating (e.g., by letting infinite nitro cheaters dominate multiplayer) since before boosters were introduced. But that doesn't mean I'll reset fuel bars or regularly "refill my profile" — that's switching to a new shared profile with tons of cars, credits, and boosters in Sky lingo, and they don't even consider that cheating. If I did, I'd feel like Gameloft finally succeeded in corrupting me. (Insert reference to drug-related crime here.)

    I am all for playing by the rules, it is important for my sense of self worth, BUT when GL don't bother to stick to their own rules( insert which ever bug, glitch, general F up that they havnt bothered to fix) I start to try and think of ways to repay my self.
    At a critical mass of cheating you either join in with the cheats or leave, when the infinite hackers where everywhere I came within seconds of deleting this game, then again when the double tanks came in and the clan had infinite acess to them. To many people are not recieving their rewards when they are honest players, and GL gives the most expensive car to at least 5 hackers. You can see why people are getting very pissed off.
    If you are spending money on this and see you prize go to cheats it is even worse. This is bad for business as why invest real money when others steal with impunity.
    Ryan and Fabian do what they can, and you have to remember it's only a game.

    Last year in Japan the police arrested 3 players for cheating. That's what happening on places where gaming is treated as a sport..

    Cheating wasn't always as bad as it instantly became when we started playing online and puting money out of our pockets. The bad news for the successful titles like Asphalt are that hacking attempts increase with the success of the game.

    But what if some part of the hackers join the game publishers team and start defending all insecurities against the attacks of the rest of the hackers??

    Good thinking out of the box there, but I kind of doubt that

    Thanks :)
    As you said, despite is lower speed, VMAX is pretty fast...
    I haven't played against any ghost. I will do it, but now my VMAX is 1692 rank...
    I think that if you are unlucky with legendary cards like me, you can upgrade both xD

    Thanks :)
    I think K1 will be faster. Of course against a 1778 VMAX it could be hard, but difference will be really tiny...

    Thanks ;)

    I think I maybe, all of mine are different, don't have more than one of any legendary engine cards. May have to buy one of the boxes for tokens, though its still going to be random..

    I am in the US using iso, the reward I see for the expert cup (neveda) is top 300 40,000 credits and top 1,500 for 2 Part Cards x2, so nothing to struggle for here...

    I have been watching Hectorx's videos along with many others' for a long time, help me a lot n thanks.

    For the rose of the desert map in Season 9, my best is 54:212 for 1611 unboosted McLaren P1 n no way to get into 53:xxx, so desperate, lol.

    Now I am playing the class battle (multiplayer) cup and some confusion arises. Many times I see ppl with lykan, Tuatara passes my 1690 K1 (all cars unboosted as I see when the race is finished) in the very beginning in this sector 8 map, did devs do something to reduce the performance of K1? Or maybe it is due to internet speed? Also I am using the 1st gen ipad, which may not be so responsive?

    I think K1 is supposed to accelerate pretty fast, can someone help to answer this?
