    Maybe not so problematic. I know that point and can understand GL's position to make money - although I would also appreciate a fair competition. Anyhow, what I mean is that you still gain points running boosted, you still have the advantage in race. It is only getting harder to make points. That means they have to make more races to gain their points, which means more boosters to buy, more revenue for GL. Many of them are like junkies: they want to have TOP 10 position in world rank list, they want to win...and they will pay for it. :D

    Hey, ACEE, how have you been? I'm still here and collecting cars. Some of the new ones are really fun.

    Very valid point here. The new proposed system for MP is fair and good for business. Only thing is if they could change the reward system for MP to give players more incentives. For example, allowing a player to win once daily 10 tokens for their first winning streak of 9. It's akin to participation prizes that one gets in TLE's and would not hurt GL's bottom line as farming would only net 70 tokens (enough for 1 fuel refill, something that GL is already giving to us with videos).

    Fabien has been asked this just recently. I have the feeling that 10 is not enough for a streak of 9. You get 10 just for participating in some events. Must be higher.

    Eric would be great if you can place the link to the proposed system (https://plus.google.com/105163125232014941976/posts/YnuJrXwTk4B) in GL forum in the bad matchup thread, as you are at present active there. Many thanks!

    I guess they can work something out from say 10~30 tokens because if farming can get you >500 tokens a week, then it would definitely be abused.

    If you use a low-rated DeZir to farm points in MP, you should lose 10 tokens each time your winning streak gets to 9.

    Haha, would be an interesting implementation although I'm sure it will be met with backlash from existing farmers :rolleyes:

    Damn! 1.03.609 single tanked in the Maserati. If I had a tank, I'd break 1.00.xxx

    6 advanced cards for top 50... I'll take the 4 mid techs tho

    Anyone saw the MP cup for F40? 46min after the cup begins and there are two guys with 2400 pts? Is that normal?

    It all depends on where the points payout falls off. I've noticed the latest trend seems to be buying refuels and blowing up an early lead while its still easy to get full races.

    That's normal, guys are probably refilling fuel to get a head start. It's better to refill early as there are more players on the first day.


    Definitely, and the points have seemingly levelled off at lower limits. The 5 day MPTLEs used to go to 9000 points, but now only 7500~ish.

    Wow, a Pro Testarossa on the leaderboard! In fact, there are 6 of them! These guys must have a lot of luck, a lot money or a lot of tokens!

    Well, nothing I can do anyway. I do wish I can get my Testarossa pro though. All these cars that require 36+ engine cars are just insane T^T.

    I think we can just stop with the luck part. I mean there's no way these guys found an F12 in EVERY SINGLE engine box they got.
    It pretty much just means they somehow hacked it, or have a lot of money. (A lot of tokens = a lot of money)

    So Gameloft just stop removing multiple account from the leaderboard? Look at the new Amateur B class, it is like the nightmare all over again

    As far as I can tell the pro testarossa is the 'easiest' of the engine-only cars to pro. Having said that, one of the players at the top of iOS using it I can vouch for as having spent a hell of a lot of money, thousands of dollars. They still don't have the VW W12 or Bugatti pro and the Furai only very recently, so based on their experience I think the F12 card is slightly more common than the rotary or W16. In this cup most of us will find the Maserati to be the top car, the lotus is better but needs mid tech at level 4, the others don't stand a chance.

    Can anyone remember the last time we had a cup with felino being the main car? I know windows have had a couple lately but on iOS (and I assume android) I'm struggling to think of any since very soon after the winter update.

    I am not sure if everything is legit there. See my post from weekend:




    It is obvious that first, second and third on Android were not able to gain their points with the normal fuel. Esp. place first I met several times in race and she is not good, she lost every time against me. She is also high placed in standard mp leaderboard, but this is another story.


    For it is not understandable why they can play all the time fully boosted and buy several fuel refills (I estimate at least 10). I only drive in mpe with extra tank if I have one still active from another event and made my time already. Due to this I made only one race in the last eight hours so I dropped at the end. I had enough points, so no need to waste boosters.


    If I calculate the token costs together (for let's say 32h playing): 8 extra tanks for 200 tokens = 1600 tokens plus 10 refills for 65 tokens = 650 tokens makes 2250tokens. Total Rewards are 200 tokens and 12 standard cards (worth 300 token) makes 500 tokens. Absolute isane to do so.
