    Isn't that the same with
    - Survolt: very strong acceleration
    - Biome: extremly good handling

    Dezir is similar to F150, the rank is reflected by all stats. The top speed is rather low, but if you are able to keep it under nitro it's much faster. Thus, it's a monster with nitro starter and extra tank. Without it's hard to get a start without getting wrecked. Balancing of such a car and determining a rank is not easy.

    Principally I agree a lot of cars with similar rank are not comparable competitive. Dezir is definitely one of the cars being obvious better than other cars with the same rank. On the other hand it's rather cheap (as also Survolt), so it's not a problem to buy it to compete.

    Gameloft has been doing some throwback Thursdays for the old Asphalt and Gangstar. You think they're ready to release the next sequels?

    You can't really compare the DeZir to the F-150 though, since its nitro duration is much, much, much better, so it can do just fine on long tracks without many nitro bottles. (Even with an extra tank, the F-150 is absolutely worthless on a track like Iceland or Tokyo.) Moreover, the fact that its stock rating is just 514, but can go all the way up to 1262 means that it's a problem for many, many cars (the pro F-150's rank is only 1071, meaning it won't meet any pro Minis).

    If there weren't so many Chinese players using special DeZirs with all boosters, then I wouldn't have written the post above to complain. Maybe you don't have this problem on Android, but on iOS, the lobbies are rampant with Chinese players who are clearly just using special 1153, 1192, 1244, or 1262 DeZirs to prey on Mini Coopers and the Audi TTS, since those used to be popular choices among top 100 players. And the top 100 players who have the ability to unmax their cars have also been using lower-ranked DeZirs to easily farm points.

    Gameloft reset

    So with over 60 cars (mostly maxed), sundry credits, upgrades, double points tokens etc etc. Gameloft reset my account to zero.
    We were taking turns in on a shared when Gameloft only left the option of accepting a reset to 1 car and 1500 points.
    I went through the customer service experience - showing multiplayer rating near 1800 and screenshots from best lap times showing some of the maxed cars.
    They eventually (10 or 20 emails in) said it was a known issue and sent through "Customer Service" files, but these were for the owner of the machine.
    Anyone have this issue / get resolution?

    It used to be, that one could use many D and C class cars, and have many different races.
    As is for usefullness in MP, this has changed to DeZir-Survolt-Biome-RivaleGTR-One:1/vmax.
    I.E. 4-6 cars, are all most need to win most mp races.

    Yes, I use 10-15 different cars me self, but thats because I love challenges. Winning in a Truck or SUV is so much fun, but I rarly get that bored tbh

    What I meant it that Dezir has similar nitro speed / top speed ratio as F150. Sure it's better due to longer nitro, but also Dezir runs out of nitro on Iceland. On short tracks with lot of nitro you can also "troll" around with F150 and beat everything around it's rank rather easy.

    In this game there are, had been and will be always op cars. It started with Survolt and Sesto, then came Biome, now it's Dezir. I have no problem if Dezir is a prey on those low level cars, as the TOP 100 are just using those cars to win against newbies. On Android I have a unmaxed Survolt to face those TOP 100 with TTS or Camaro. Was a great fun! But what happend after they lost several races, now they skip if they read my name. I'm not a fan of those Chinese but the world rank farming of some drivers is ridiculous (8000 points, are they doing something else?) so I have no problem if they have some resistance. If they are so good, they should face the Dezirs with their own Dezirs or use other cars. I like the Dezir, that car makes fun. I haven't used it in mp (there I use several cars), but with my family in local Wlan that car rocks. :D

    Most of em are prob using other skills the driving to get to where they are, with countless examples.
    I dont care, as you, I beat em mostly as I wish me self.
    What is really fun, is taking cars like the Urus and let em see its huge ass race away from em :D

    Yeah, it seems like a lot of people are getting the videos popping up at the worst time.
    Still no word from customer service though. :(

    On Android they have changed back to situation where you get tokens / fuel for videos. No suddenly appearing videos anymore. Got already 6 tokens today from 2 vids. :D

    If it makes you feel any better, people who have the opportunity to watch Dragon City ads for free tokens also have to deal with intrusive Spiderman or Brothers in Arms ads that pop up almost each time you finish a race, whether it's a TLE, a MP match, or just a seasonal one. You don't receive any tokens for sitting through those.

    This Class Battle cup is intense, times just keep dropping from 19.1s…18.7s…18.4s…18.1s…and now 17.9s…

    I still wonder how EliteBLY is able to get that time with a 1572 ranked Biome, I thought I did a pretty good lap, but .6s difference is huge…
