Asphalt 8 (kindle tablet edition) Hi Fabien, finally the Ferrari updated has arrived at my Fire TV But I still think, that Gameloft has forgotten Asphalt 8 (kindle tablet edition). There are currently almost no events (max. 1 or 2 each week) and the last weeks the events even weren't working because of the missing update. But the biggest problem is, that multiplayer is almost dead. I haven't seen another player in multiplayer for weeks. Please add more events and decrease the minimum number of cars for multiplayer from 4 to 3. Hopefully this will bring back Asphalt 8 to live.
Fabien I haven´t received any free D class upgrades since the problem with the Dodge Dart GT.But I read that some players received them along with the latest Teneriffe update.Is this true?I already contacted Customer Care 3 times but they don´t want to give me any When does the Android update come out?It seems you guys have problems with it or am I wrong? Why was there no tech card cup this week for Android but for iOS?I would have placed in the TOP 500 what would have secured me 210 tokens,10 medium tech cards and 6 advanced tech cards.A fantastic prize!So please catch up on it! Thank you Fabien
With Tech cup I agree! The usual Monday cup did not appear and esp. mid-tech cards are the most urgent need of everyone. I bought three boxes last weekend (1x champion kit, 2 others) and won over 60 cards, but got only two mid-techs and none of the needed fi v8 engines for my K1 out of 100 cards. Fabien you told that tokens shall be a benefit for top drivers, but if we only get trash cards from tokens or win arbitrary card boxes for TOP25 or TOP 100 that give us 90% C,D part cards, we feel like loosers. In the daily box it is acceptable but as prices? My storage is filling with those D part cards but I have my D cars proed. There are useless. Selling cards that cost tokens for credits is no solution that makes anyone happy. With the present drop rate of cards I refuse to spent any money in tokens becauase with the drop rate of let's say even 2 useful tech / engine cards out of a champion kit box, I would have to buy nearly 40 boxes to pro my K1 which is approx. 40.000 tokens - 266 - for one car that will be outdated in next update. Furthermore I heard that the free token / fuel refill videos disappear when one has bought something. This is no benefit but a punishment for people that invest in the game.
I was the one doing that Martin and after purchases all the refill/ 1x token videos were gone for 3 months already. My official post is here, still waiting for an answer (1 week passed already, guess they're too busy banning stuff on windos cheaterboards): http://www.gameloft.com/?request=forum&url=showthread.php%3Ft%3D222838%26page%3D5 I've even installed new android version, still nothing... P.S. im VOID btw, ppl are missing you on the official forums
We have this point on G+ forum at present and up to now we only found people that can confirm this bug. I have shifted my focus to G+. GL is now more active on their forum so there is someone who takes care and no real need of me. By the way, my better time in Apex doesn't help, my 0:55.427 is also out of TOP 100 now. At present I hate S class. I am always 10-20 places above TOP 100 as my K1 is not strong enough and always I miss the TOP 100 prices. I wish there is some category TOP 250 or GL makes different categories from time to time.
Something different Fabien: At present a lot of users get banned. It seems that this is again a problem of the ban algorithm. Please check!
I dunno. Your server's aren't doing a very good job. The Windows cheating is getting out of hand. A month ago, it was only two or three people. Here we are on Apex Wedesday with thirteen of the top fifteen turning in impossible times with their cars. That's assuming all those full-PRO Viet Enzos are legit, of course* Pretty ridonkulous, Fabien. Some of those names have been pulling that crap on every cup for weeks. * No, no, they're not. We know it. You know it. So the top 20-30 spots are going to hackers in every cup. Awesome sauce.
The free refuel thing is retarded. Whenever I have full fuel or nearly full fuel, it'll be available. Whenever I'm out of fuel, it'll say "not available, come back later". And of course, half the time you watch the stupid video you don't get credited with fuel or 1 credit. Lol seriously?? /fail
That is simply ridiculous. The top tier is entirely occupied by cheaters. On Android, someone out to ruin Elite clan's reputation is turning in ridiculous times as well. Maybe GL needs to run a manual check on the leaderboard or implement a player report function. Yes, S Class cups are pretty bad at the moment. Buying boxes hoping for engine cards really requires spending 5K+ tokens at least or being very lucky, which is not really feasible for most players. Making top 100 requires a 1710+ One:1, 9FF, Enzo at the moment. Soon that will be 1720+ and so on. Regular players face an uphill battle that they can't win. I would like to compete for the top prizes but my cars limit the brackets that I can compete in. If you noticed the recent leaderboards, no longer do Elites/ReV's occupy top 25, they are now ~50 in ranking. Even Driver R, who has dominated 1st position has dropped. While we would all love to get the rewards, GL's incentive for paying players is their ability to push us out of those higher brackets and unfortunately, that is unlikely to change.
This also happens to me. Simply try to restart A8. On my device may daily video reappears than always. I bought a champion kit yesterday, my second in 10 days. This time there had been 3 mid-techs. Not bad, but only rare, no legendary cards and no engines. The rest rare were parts. Although I won more than 200 cards in the last 2 weeks and bought boxes with ~80 cards I got not even one of the needed fi v8 for my K1. Also in cups we can win engines that are not the needed ones like w16 or rotary. We need those for the top tier cars: V12 or fi v8.
Fabien what will happen tomorrow with the season 9 bug when i win the Aventador? will I be able to unlock the event which was replaced from the Veneno also? will there be any confllic in the code of the game? could it happen an error with the anticheating system and ban my mistake?
Yes, but the cups need to be for cars that everyone has to have equal competition. If it's top A, top S, regular players won't have a chance and it will widen the gap even further.
Oh, for real. The entry gap is impossible to overcome these days. I've got several friends who have already quit when they realized just how badly they were outclassed and their options to get on a level playing field. This pay to win / card roulette has gotten so atrocious that it's costing the game new players. When you look at how astronomical prices have gotten on new cars -- I think it started getting insane with the Tuatara* -- and the fact that race rewards haven't been scaled to match, it's a tough sell. "Hey buddy try this game. By the way, you need a few million in credits to buy cars to be competitive, have fun getting there winning 500 credits per race in Season One. Ta! P.S. When you get your cars, then I'll tell ya about the Pro Kits!" * Ironic, considering it was a completely useless car
Decided to play A8, after a few days off. And when checking the leaderboard on Alps cup (Windows), I see this : Isn't it wonderful (just kidding) ?
Look at my post above, effneor. Top 20-ish at end of Apex Wednesday were all hackers. I ended up at like 11x because of them :/
This game has been out for almost 2 years. Do you really think GL cares about attracting new players at this point? The pro system was added with the sole intent of getting long-time players to spend money on this game. All things considered, it's worked pretty well for them. Even I've spent money on this game this year (only $26, but that's more than what the majority of non-free iOS games cost, right?).
Those people who ram your car right in the beginning of the match because they bought the full nitro bonus + double nitro bar can all go fornicate themselves with an iron rod. This is why I HATE starting in first place, almost always end up close to last due to being rammed from behind and my car turns sideways. And let me guess, unless you somehow make it to top 40 or top 70 in one of the events you won't be able to unlock the Lamborghini car? Getting to top 70 is impossible unless you play 24/7 because 90% of the time you won't even find 4 players to play with you. There are of course 70 people in the world with no lives who log the app once every half an hour or so to wait out on a match. As for top 40... ya good luck with that, since the top 30 will of course be hackers.
I suppose it's hard for me to believe in a business model so willfully stupid as to not concern itself with new business and instead rely on just an established base. But, hey, Blackberry was once worth $83 billion, so I guess companies really can be that dumb.
To be honest, I'm sure most of the long time players quit way back when the game went freemuim with no warning. Of course by long time I mean people who were there from the beginning, not everyone after. Plus, when you've already payed so much money...
