The update is out — on iOS, anyway. Some decals are available for credits (up to 550,000), others for tokens (up to 2,250). Unfortunately, the Mondrian decal, which is my favorite by far, isn't available for all cars. In fact, some cars, such as the DeZir, don't support decals at all.
Am I the only one who had to repurchase all my upgrades for the Dodge Dart (or, rather, use a few free upgrades among the hundreds that I won in multi-player)? The pro upgrades are still there, but everything else had been reset to 0 in my game!
They are indeed more expensive than I expected, but decals are the one thing where I don't mind outrageous prices. They don't make you faster, after all, and they don't result in any other advantages during races. So if people turn out to be willing to pay those prices, then by all means, Gameloft, squeeze as much money out of them as you can. Ideally, if the decal business ends up being a huge success, maybe they'll tone down the pricing craziness in other areas e.g., by discounting cars more often to push decal sales further.
There has been some changes in the garage, apart from the redesign, each car can now be aquired individualy with tokens or credits. Check it out.
It good that the old bangers are now available for tokens, also could you tell us if the drop rate for mid tech and common???? V8 s has been brought in line with reality, thanks.
Thank you for telling us Fabien~~ ^_^ By the way, it seems like my Dodge Dart GT got restarted. It retains its Pro rank, but all the upgrades are reset back to 0. I actually don't mind maxing it again, in fact I actually want to (because I'm weird). I'm just wondering if other people are experiencing the same thing. I doubt anyone cares about the poor little Dodge Dart though. EDIT: Oops, too excited replying and forgot to read other comments. Same as you Driver 4118. By the way, those decals look awesome on the Dodge Dart. Doesn't it give you more reason to drive it? xD
One thing that I know for sure is that new Pro Kit boxes will be availalble as event reward soon. These boxes should start appearing tomorrow. I have told to the Asphalt team that they should do something about the Mid Tech and the V8, I am sure that they understand
Does that mean the exclusive cars are also available for tokens alongside the cash option? If so, then I'm impressed by GL's decision. The token system never really bothered me at all. In fact, that's what the devs should have done in the first place IMO. I was just disappointed that they don't allow you to purchase those exclusive cars. Again, I'm asking this because I can't see the update yet. Delay for us green robot users
Yeah, all the Premium Cars are now available to be purchased via tokens. There is no more cash option though, just Tokens.
We are checking what is going on with this car. I will let you know as soon as I have any more intel.
I disagree. They put in the tokens because they did not have a reasonable game economy with credits. Since we get credits for every race (and an increasing amount of them per season, the credit has a massive inflation problem. This has led to making cars (and tuning) to become more and more and more expensive. It got so out of hand, that Gameloft has effectively thrown away the currency, and started a new one with tokens. The token economic's fix is to make them more rare. But, they still mint them whenever they feel like it. Watch an ad, get some tokens. Participate or win a TLE, win some tokens. The token economics didn't fundamentally change, so, eventually they are going to have the same inflationary problem. Perhaps by that time the game will have been replaced or just dead.
Good to hear, thanks. There are at present several token cars discounted. Can you give us a tipp how long this discount will last?
In the game description in German android store for cars are mentioned that can be driven, three are included in the game already, but the forth is the Bugatti Veyron...
Fabien there is a new bug in the game, this time is related with the default paint job of the cars, my K1 is with the default white color with the black spots over it, but when i play multiplayer the car shows completely white instead, looks like the games is not showing the correctly paint color option on multiplayer, because this does not happen on quick race. And i am talking about the default paint options not decals.
Can anyone help me out? In my division for the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Cup, I am placing 8th using only the Nitro Boost and Tuning Kit. My time is 1:21:722 and the fastest in my division is 1:18:672 with Triple Boost. Do I stand a chance beating this time? Is it possible to me to cut 3 seconds down using Double Tank in addition to my other boosts? I would like to be 1st, but I'm quite afraid of wasting my Double Tank and losing right at the end. It would also suck if there are those guys who upload their results after the end and kick me out of the board. Haven't seen Hector or Public Enemy uploading a video of their time yet, so I don't know how well am I doing in comparison to the veterans and how I can improve my time in division. P.S. I don't have any desire to win if it can be purchased by Credits. I would only opt to win if it is only available through Tokens as I prefer to spend Tokens on increasing my storage for cards instead xD. It would be great if Fabien can clarify on this (if he can). I'm loving those decals by the way.
I have just tried to play with it, I had no issue. I played a multiplayer race with the K1, and I bought the 575 decals that looks like a racing flag (black and white squares). is that the decal you are talking about? On what platform are you playing? Edit: You are right, I found the decal that has an issue. The team is trying to fix it. Edit: The issue is fixed now, thanks for letting us know and enjoy the decals.
Hi guys I need some help with Asphalt 8.Please take some time for me I want do install the update of A8 but I only have about 1.2 GB space left.so this won´t work.Now I am considering to delete A8 and install it again,of course with the latest update. Since September 2013 I made such a huge progress in this game that I don´t want to loose this-in no case! So here is my question:what do I have to do if I want to retreive my complete data after reinstalling?Is it enough when I now connect the current game with my Google+ account?When do I know that the complete data is in the cloud(sign?) and what do I have to do EXACTLY when I boot the reinstallation?Just go to my profile and connect again with my G+ account or should I press Restore purchases(something I read in other forums)? I know a lot of questions but I really want to do it right and not loose my data.So please if you had the same issue or if you are a Gameloft employee by chance don´t hesitate to reply on this!I am grateful for every (detailed) answer Ron
