    Strangely enough, neither of those A8 legends have mastered the spiral drift yet. And I can't reveal how to do that right now either, since it would give you too much of an advantage.

    I understand. I mean, Public Enemy's first sector 8 race was phenomenal. If he was closer to the centre it would have been unbeatable.

    @eric
    What's the cheaterboard? First time I'm hearing about it.

    its been posted quite a number of times here though...
    anyways, basically if gameloft thinks you hacked, you get put in this sepearate leaderboard with ridiculous times, theres reports of honest players being put there too
    but android seems to be pretty nice and doesnt really hack so right now everyone on the cheaterboard used the glitch, there doesnt seem be any hackers actually
    of course on ios its a different story

    Yea, I see Motor A. and Fury Public Enemy on the leaderboard on my iPad. There's tons of Asian clan accounts :(
    I'm glad I play on Android (yes, I mentioned the iPad earlier because I just have Asphalt there, why not) and we don't get that many clans :)

    Eric, who and when invited you to Elite? I only realised a few days ago that your name is Elite#somecolourcode#EP7 :D Looking at your YT vids, you're really good and I'm hoping you, just like Hector, outrun these Chinese (or Koreans)
    Also, which Class-B/-A/-S cars have you MAX PRO, if any?

    the videos you find on my channel arent that good because im usually not recording for my best runs, and it gets laggy sometimes
    the only thing you can get off my vids are maybe a trick or two that saves a tiny amount of time

    I see... But you know, your videos aren't bad either! Your last video with the Felino was pretty good, just hitting the wall in the tunnel let you down a bit.

    I record(ed) on my Macbook running a Windows 8 VM with Bluestacks installed. Basically, a VM inside a VM :D
    It's weird that it didn't lag, so I was kinda surprised. If only Bluestacks had MP! In my dreams :/

    I have 585k and a maxed lykan 1663... Is it worth getting tuatara now? It's still a lot less than the venom or k1 and goes over 500 kph with good handling

    These stats are just numbers. If I were you I would skip Tuatara at least for now, saving for K1. Maybe by the time u get enough credits there is another master S class car out worth buying n available for credits.

    Skip the Tuatara its not going to place you in any TLEs now that the K1 ownership is so saturated.

    Bought the SSC, it's pretty decent at just 1/1/1/1! Same top speed of my lykan, heh. Sure tge upgrade path is just as bad as the k1, but I get to play with the car early

    Raced one of those car twinks, #9 on the Windows leader board. He tried to knock me off and after banging around a bit I threw him into a wall.

    Guess he ought to learn how to actually drive instead of just touring tracks in overclassed rides ;)

    (this is why I love MP)

    To be fair, we were matched up again about 5 races later and he beat me -- but he'd also ponied up for double tanks and cut me a very wide berth in passing :D

    You're level 85. What is the maximum level that can be achieved in MP?

    85 is the max. You keep getting xp for races but don't level up anymore.

    At least you gain rating points, as far as I'm aware

    You do, but it's a system that begs to be abused.

    The greater the difference between your rank and the other racers' ranks, the less points you earn. I generally earn around 1 point per race. I've been on Windows for about a month and a half now to get to 1900. The next month and a half will probably only get me to 2100.
    - Once you get around 2200+, you can race a dozen races without earning anything.
    - The downside is, if you lose a race, you can lose 10+ points.
    - Most high rated players will quit a race rather than lose because you'll only lose 10 points for quitting, whereas actually losing could cost you more.

    The system is designed for better racers to race one another, with better cars. The biggest problem is, when you move up in car classes, there are a fewer and fewer people to race. I can sit in the lobby for 2-3 minutes to try to pick up a race with a A or S class car. In the sub-1300 car class range it takes about 15-30 seconds to get into a race. I'm trying to race, not stare at the lobby :)

    But I don't really care about my rating. The MP level is important because the higher your level, the higher the payout on races.

    I've got 23xx the last time I checked (3 months ago) and, since I play on Bluestacks until I find my phone, I'm stuck with no MP :/


    My 23xx rating got me a maximum of 4 points when I win a race against similarly rated opponents. I wish GL could have taken boosters into account, just to be fair. But then again, for them fair is giving us a bunch of systems and cars to deal with so that we have to play all day... and we do.


    It became more noticeable to me as I got closer to level 35 (now I'm stuck with level 54 for the time being). So then, how much do the 85 levellers get per win?

    While farming, this wonderful thing happened :D I crashed 3 times during the race and I had to catch up, and in the very last second I just managed to get this time:
    [​IMG]
    And I was still first, so I got my 4.9K

    I'm curious, has anyone yet had this happen with a bot in season races?

    I get mid $5K per race in MP, depending on laps and roll/spin opps. I'm hitting the normal Seasons using the 100% bonus and on Season 7 I get about $22K per race.

    I really don't think much about the 'rating'. I play MP mostly for fun, some to farm, and I don't use ups. Since I don't use ups, I'll never get much further than where I am now. It was different when boosters and tuners were part of the streak prizes, but I can't be arsed to care about the leaderboard since it has no effect on anything. I haven't lost yet to an un-upped racer with a car within 50 points of mine, and that's all that really matters :p

    All of the "top" :rolleyes: racers are just twinks anyway, like the #4 clown on Windows. That's not racing in my book. That's just twinking and buying points via ups. I have yet to race anyone in the top 20 that isn't doing the exact same thing.

    22K in Season 7? Impossible. Maybe you use 2x credits but there isn't even 11K creds.

    Or did I misunderstand something? :confused:
