I hate triple boosted Dezir's in MP. There are a lot of players trolling people by waiting in the back and then knocking everyone down. I got knocked down twice in one game of 2 laps Tokyo with my Mini by this one troll. Just keep an eye out if they are coming to knock you down Try reinstalling the game, you should be able to watch them twice a day for tokens. Hope that helps

You guys have been very active this days! I would like to give you some feedback but first: our anti-cheat team was pretty happy with your positive comments about the number of cheaters in the game. They also would like to let you know that new “cheaterbuster techniques" are on the way. Interesting idea, I will let the Asphalt Team know about this. In the meantime, you can sell these cards for credits. Yes, we are looking into this every day and we are making progress. Any person who is cheating / hacking will end up banned. This person will also be taken out from the leader boards. If you have noticed that someone is still cheating, we will investigate. However, cheaters are usually obvious, so sometimes the cheaters that are beeign reported are nothing but very good players. The distribution of cards is based on chance. The chances to get one card are the same for everyone. However, some are more likely to appear than others. Nemesis, it is not possible to do so, how could they even do this without playing this while playing? This must be due to something else. You mean that you got wrecked, but not him? Well if you were decelerating and he was accelerating a lot, this can happen. Well he probably max out/ pro his car, or he manage to use nitro in a better fashion, there could be different reasons other than cheating to explain this issue. This is most likely due to the internet connection, but not necessarily your connection. The car that you saw crashing had probably crashed before you could see it: you have received the information latter due to some kind of delay. By the time you see it crashing, it got back on the track. I understand, and I guess that you are making a point. However what defines “Top Speed” in Asphalt 8 is the maximum speed of a car without nitro, acceleration and handling. In Asphalt these other statistics will influence the general speed of a car just as you are saying. That is why you are right; the Lykan might be able to beat the Tuatara. I guess that the player must figure out by himself which car has got the better combination of figures. Therefore in my opinion, these are no misleading information in the figures of these cars.Not to mention that a player coudl be more confortable with the lykan,and therefore be able to beat the Tuatara. One last thing, do not to forget the car rank when you compare cars. with all due respect
Right, and the point is that mid-tech cards are too rare overall. The chance of getting one sucks equally for everybody. Many of us are sitting on large stacks of legendary cards because our upgrades are bottlenecked by the lack of mid-tech cards. Unless... this was the plan to force purchases of additional storage?
Its funny how many of us are probably sitting on Legendary Tech cards we can't use because we haven't gotten enough Rare Tech cards.... Lol
Fabien, I feel like you think they mean something other than what they are actually saying. These players understand that Acceleration and Nitro ratings can result in a car with lower top-speed finishing some tracks sooner than a car with higher top-speed. Let me attempt to clarify this as much as possible. What YOU are referring to we can call "quickness". Quickness is how many seconds it takes for a car to complete a given track. When determining a car's quickness on any given track, Top Speed, Acceleration, Nitro, and even Handling ratings must all be taken into account, not simply Top Speed. We all agree that the Lykan is quicker than the Tuatara on almost every track. Nobody has an issue with that fact either. What these players are saying (and I have experienced it as well), is that even on long stretches of straight road such as in Tokyo or Monaco with both cars mid-nitro-burn, a Lykan with a Top-Speed of (for example) 263.2mph and a Nitro of 31.3mph is easily keeping up with a Tuatara that has a Top Speed of 288.9 MPH and a Nitro of 27.2mph. This math and the in-game experience are at odds with each other here. That Lykan's maximum possible MPH is 294.5. That Tuatara's maximum possible MPH is 316.1. There is no way that any of the Lykan's other stats are making up for a 21.6mph Top Speed deficit when traveling in a straight line. This is what they have been trying to get you to understand.
Fabien, the rating system on the cars is broken. It always has been. The proof is available at any time, by looking at the TLEs*, and which cars make up the majority of the best times. This problem was exacerbated by the Tuning Kits, which give unequal increases. MP has become a bit of a joke, and I daresay more than one person has switched from 'grinding' in MP to grinding in Season 9, because it's more efficient. This is a loss for Gameloft, because no one uses boosts to grind in Single Player. You've got two problems, and I've got two solutions. Card Distribution Add an option to select which type of card box is being purchased. Engine, Parts, Random, and Tech. The TLEs prove it's possible to classify them. More people would buy cards if they had an idea of what they would be getting. Multi-Player / Rating This is broken, and has been broken, for ages. Tuning Kits aside, because anyone is free to buy them, the problem only got worse with Pro Kits. Narrow down the window. Currently it's set at a 100 point spread. Narrow it down to 50 points. More competitive races, more interested racers, more boosts bought. I understand GL is in the business of making money. These are both win-win solutions, for players, and GL. * I'm the fastest Windows player not racing a DeZir in the D-Class Cup. Cars ranked 50 points lower are obviously much faster.
Same here, but in my case, that's not a fair comparison I've used my share of mid techs, but I'm not sure if I ever even used a single advanced tech card, so of course I'll have more of those left. Nevertheless, I agree that the mid tech card is most likely a deliberately introduced bottleneck. Please don't tell me anyone here would be surprised by that.
@Fabien_Gameloft #1: The prices on selling cards are beyond reddicoulus as to how you price em. Its like you saying; Ok, we can buy your left overs, so you can get more space, then to say, you'll only get 1/10th of what they're really worth prob even less. #2: Ranking system is obviously broken, as a 440kph top speed with kit(GTR) hardly can compete with a 500+kph K1,9FF,Venom etc. Lykan does at least have some speed, not to be left behind. This is also obvious to Lightning,bugatti,huyara drivers, as these are rarly used in MP, and are the cars I compete with when driving P1,LaFerrari or GTR. Although skills help me win at such a disadvantage, some tuning on the ranking of cars combined with mp rating should help less experienced Pilots become more competetive. "Card Distribution" This is the best idea I've seen yet. Without some way to predict outcome other then poor statistics, boxes in store should have the same differentiation as reward boxes. As a box buyer, I do find my self selling of 5-10 a or s class parts, as I get wayyyyy more parts then any other cards. Engine and tech are BY_Far the most rarest thing when getting random boxes, and is what holds back more legit players, not spending 1000s of $£ to reach the top tuning. AND, Seriously. Mid techs are used all the way from c class, all the way to s, making em a key component in 80+% of car Pro upgrades in A8 overall. Plz Plz dont come empty handed and best intentions, as the road to HELL is paved with the "best intentions"
As a voice agains all the moronic and retarded moves A8 developers come up with, OFC I agree with you. Same reason I suggested GL find a way to cash in, AND be more player friendly. If they don't know how, just inbox me, and I'll come to France and educate GL on thinking with more then just the One braincell lighted up by the only idea of MAKING CASH
Of course the bottleneck is intentional. Its why the token system was introduced. If you paid cash for cards, you could make a case for fraud. Instead you buy tokens, and what you choose to then do with the tokens is out of their control. A secondary currency layer lets them adjust the bottleneck without affecting overall currency strategy as well as *most importantly* removing culpability for "purchases". I'm sure it also cuts down on IAP micro transaction fees, but, whatever.
Well, the main point is that one would have so many of the "rarest" cards sitting in inventory collecting dust because a more "abundant" card is actually in shortage due to design.
We should make it short and simple: It would be great if GL increases the probabilty of getting mid-tech cards. Three suggestions: - simply increase the probabilty of getting it in random boxes - make rewards in events not a tech box, but mid tech cards directly, from last tech boxes I received 6 initial and early and no others, I have plenty of those standard ones. - introduce a tech box, but similar to the champion kit box with 50% rare & legendary, for some tokens
Exactly I've never spend any tokens or money for boxes. Only cards in events and daily boxed netted me 3 v8 legendary from daily box and one from events cards a few of my cars are full pro and many more were highly upgraded (K1, savage, biome, 370z,felino ,etc) so I remain fairly competitive in events. And Also I'm saving for vmax as well.
This. Please consider this suggestion, aside from the other suggestion where we can convert tech cards into higher ones.
Fabien, can we have one of those Race against the Clock cups again where we can get a lot of tech card boxes (D or C class cup preferably)? Really need A LOT of mid-techs right now.
