    Fabien I had more than 10 free C class upgrades that I won from multiplayer the previous update and I planned to used them for my new Wolkswagen GTI, but when I claimed the car last friday I had the surprise that all of my free upgrades dissapeared ! (check screenshot)
    Looks like the last update made me lost all of them, I guess I will have to open a ticket to customer care even though I don't have any screenshot to show as proof :/

    Another thing Fabien, after more than 2 weeks since the last update let me tell you (will all respect) that this update have been 2 STEPS backwards regarding the game performance.
    The only place where I used to experience game freeze until previous update was inside the Iceland cave, in both tracks. I have reported that freeze even on Gameloft forums, but after more than 6 - 7 updates it's not fixed.

    Now since the last update the game freeze on many tracks that I don't even remember all of them or the places, these freeze happen in just tenths of second, but it's very annoying because I can lose the control of the car !
    The AppStore change log description says that now the game have 64 bits support, isn't it supposed that the game must run smoother with that? or maybe these freeze are due to the graphics performance?
    These only happen after the 1st time you run the app in some tracks, they won't happend again until you relaunch the app again.
    (Ipad Air 2, ios 8.1.2)

    We really got super thrilled by the success of the video that Hectorx has made. His number of subscribers as jumped! If any of you guys want to create a video and try to set a record in one of our TLE (just like Hectorx did) let me know here or send me a PM!

    You can find more details about our expectations in the rules of the contest: http://gmlft.co/RulesStuntKingContest. For the purposes of this contest, a stunt is defined as one or more tricks chained together with less than 2 seconds between each trick.


    The Cars events appear this fast on Android so that the Android version of Asphalt can catch up with the iOS version. We just want everyone to have access to the same content as fast as possible. However, your remark is perfectly understandable and it should be brought to the attention of the Asphalt Team. I am excepting their answer anytime soon.

    However, cheaters & hackers do not take all of the cars as they are removed from the leader-boards and banned from Asphalt. If ever we have an issue with our anti-cheat system, we will do our best to fix it.

    Noted!

    -------

    Question: If any of you got any evidence(or names) of Windows 8 users "inserting themselves" in the leader-boards of events that have already ended, please let me know in PM. Thanks!

    Fastest yet in wall ascent with the tuatara 55.xxx

    I wasn't going all out on the nitro you'd have to crash the traffic and it might be possible to get 54.xxx with a pro/max tuatara In season 9

    Got down the tuatara further down to 55.638 before the tank expired.

    Got 56.xxx in Dubai with the HTT Plethore but I didn't have time to tidy it up. It would have been a challenge to do that single tanked

    We all thought that you want to catch iOs, but by this method you don't give us access to all the new content we simply miss a lot of prices, I wasn't e.g. able to play at least one race with Plethore as I need all my fuel for Aventador and Golf.

    A better solution would have been to shortend to cups:
    Sunday to tuesday-events for aventador only
    Wednesday to friday-events for GTI only
    Saturday to monday-events for plethore only

    Several mpe at the same time are a massive disfavour. Android users were not happy about the delayed updated but by this you make them upset: 80% in g+ and 90% in GL forum think that this is unfair. The Windows users feat now the same. It's like a double punishment: one get's the new content later and the mpe winning chances are decreased.

    As it is too late for the solution with the shortend cups, I have another good idea to give also all Android users a good chance to get the cars: As usually the new car event go from monday to friday and unless no other mpe's are planned for the weekend, make a repetition of the three events for Aventador, GTI and Plethore at the next weekends, one after each other.
    To avoid disadvantage for iOs then, I think they also need those extra cups.

    Generally I don't think that Google or Microsoft like it if users of their platforms have such big disadvantages.

    Fabien, if you want the majority of players to have any interest in purchasing the HTT Plethore when it goes on sale in a little less than 2 weeks, you'd better make next week's Apex cup a Forced-Induction V8 Engine Cup, with at least 10-12 of those engines easily obtainable for the top 3,000 finishers. Almost everyone who plays this game seriously has used the majority of their FI V8s on the Koenigsegg One:1. Do you really, really believe they will simply switch to using them on the Plethore now, abandoning their Ones:1 at 1710-1740 ranks, after months of painstakingly trying to upgrade them? (Mine has been at 1717 for over 1 month, and I've only gotten 2 FI V8s in the last 6 weeks.)

    Even though pro-ing the top S-class cars is almost impossible unless you've spent hundreds on tokens for boxes, at least the One:1, 9FF VMAX, and Enzo each had their own legendary engine, which made it possible for dedicated players to upgrade all three cars simultaneously. But assigning the legendary FI V8 to two top S-class cars is simply too much; it would require almost 100 FI V8s to pro both.

    Why would anyone cease to use the FI V8s on their K1s and refocus on the Plethore instead? It will take at least 10-12 of them to get the Plethore to a similarly competitive level in TLEs. Given the low drop-rate of the FI V8, this process could easily take 4-5 months, at which point Gameloft will be close to adding the next new S-class king to the game. Really, the wisest thing would have been to assign the legendary V10 engine to the HTT, regardless of what the car's engine is in real life (it's not that fast in real life either :rolleyes: ). If you had done that, another legendary card would have finally found a purpose in the game (I currently have 19 V10s in stock, and I've never had to use one on anything).

    But if you give players a chance to claim 10-12 FI V8s next week, it will push some of them to want to leave behind the K1 and focus on the Plethore instead, since they will be immediately able to upgrade it somewhere around 2-2-2-2 in terms of pro levels, which is not a bad place to start. But buying the Plethore and starting at 0-0-0-0, since all the FI V8s you had were used on the One:1? Forget it.

    For real.

    The drop rate and increasing requirements of cards are a stifling bottleneck and massive turnoff. I haven't even used my Enzo yet because its stuck at 1700 and my 1720 K1 outperforms it.

    This will be the second car (first was W12) which will be obsolete before I could make it competitive.

    Here's the thing. Fabien. The drop rates, prizes, or requirements need changing.

    Why?

    Because right now the PRO system is not giving us a reason TO buy things (cards), it's giving us a reason NOT TO buy things (cars).

    Its counter productive for both you and us.

    Read this again Fabien, it's a 100% valid point. Thanks for posting.
    Exactly right.

    100% agreement. My Enzo is rotting around on 1-1-1-1, I only bought him as it was the last missing credit car. My P4 is stronger than my K1 2-2-3-3 as it is already 5-5-5-5. Even buying champion kit boxes 3 in the last 3 weeks doesn't help. I got no cards for my K1 in the last 5 weeks and I got nearly 100 cards per week. The motor cards for the top S are the major problem. I started to pro the K1 when the pro upgrade came out and used every fi v8 card for it. But even after half a year the car and over 2200 cards not even half pro.

    Just a short calculation (rounded values): K1 needs 44 fiv8 cards. I got 2200 cards up to now and received 12! This means on 185 cards one gets one fiv8. Taking this rate, for the remaining 32 cards I have to get 5900 cards! Let's take the champion kit box: 30 cards for 950 tokens. 5900 cards are nearly 200 boxes, equal to 190,000 tokens. 15,000 tokens are 100€. So I have to pay over 1200 € for proing that car. Sure I will get also cards to pro most of the other cars. But something is wrong with the system. This doesn't encourage me to buy tokens because 1200€ nobody who isn't billionaire or crazy will spent for a game item.

    The new iOS 9 framework, ReplayKit, looks very promising hopefully the Asphalt 8 Dev Team can add a game recorder integrated with Twitch and other cool features.
    Fabien? can't wait to see what they will do for the IOS 9 update and then the Asphalt 8 2nd anniversary update :D

    Should have made supercharged and Turbo V8 cards and a high displacement variant (for those who prefer naturally aspirated engines).

    A lot of cars like the arrinera hussarya and even F50 will get set aside as players save engines for an Enzo

    I don't have a shortage of mid tech cards now that I finished my NSX (I don't like the felino it's ugly). I have enough advanced techs to finish tuatara 5/3/4/4 but I need orange V8s. Maybe my plan would help that situation if I were to invest in a car that needed three times the invested time.

    I get the same thing on iOS for the apex cup. 24 fuel and can't play.

    I did terrible in the d class cups...couldn't make top 1000 for the tokens, and I blew some on refills because of my work schedule :-/ normally I have some time to let it refill. My best time was 01:29:001 or something.

    You think that's bad? I am still working on old "uncompetitive" cars to max and pro, and they are getting stuck/held up. And I've been playing at least two years. There is now way I can compete. Just try to place as high as I can and improve my skills. My best cars are 6 months to a year old, some older.

    Originally the bottleneck was mid tech. Now my specific progress is bottlenecked by the following as well: initial tech, d class tires, c class drivetrain, b class exhaust, a class has been pretty steady thankfully, and s class exhaust. I haven't seen engine cards of any type in two months other than stuff from the TLEs.

    Phew,.... Been farming all day for Aventador

    I still need at least a million to finish lol but fortunately I did the pro upgrades already (4/3/3/2 and I have 6 V12 but need A parts) Level 3 engine is 237000 level 5 handling and accelerate upgrades 158000! so it's not so bad getting a decent handling car at first but the speed is expensive and that is why we want the Aventador! Speed!

    Gameloft, your generosity towards BRABUS and KILLER knows no boundaries. Which transaction error occurred this time in order for you to give them each another new B-class car before the cups in which to win it have not even started yet? :rolleyes:
