TLE suggestions @Fabien I feel like we need more engine specific Apex cups. We've already got W16, F12, and Rotary engine cups from the past and now you added V8 engines to that list. But, we really need more. When you go through the list of the 131 cars currently in the game (including the upcoming ones), the engine that is used the most are the Force-Induction V8s (FIV8). Exactly 284 right now, and it's legendary. Most of the high end S class cars use them, and for players who own most of them, can't pro them due to the drop rate of legendary cards. 2nd most are V8s with 224, 3rd are V12s with 204, and 4th are V6s with 156. F6 and i6 engines are another that should be considered if not every type eventually get an Apex specific cup for them. The V8 boxes were nice, but why not bring FIV8 and V12 boxes back too and more often? Those would also be nice. And one more thing, a few suggestions: for either the cup after Apex, the Apex pro kits cups, or the weekend cups, you could put class specific card boxes every once in a while for rewards? The only time we see them are from new cars only. B class, A class, and S class boxes are very rare, so how about a cup for them every once in a while too? Also, for the tech cards cups, can we have some advanced tech only cups along with the midtech cups and standard tech card cups? Thanks in advance!
I feel like GameLoft needs to accept reality and stop putting these ridiculous prize tiers like Top 15, top 50, Top 100 etc on Windows. The S2000 TLE finished yesterday. The entire Top 100 is 53.000 seconds. The Area 51 TLE finished yesterday. The entire Top 100 is 53.000 seconds. The Nevada Masters TLE finished yesterday. The entire Top 100 is 50.000 seconds. However, there's another option if you wish to continue doing nothing about hacking or cleaning up the leaderboards: please just build an official version of the cheat engine into the game, so we can ALL simply score 53.000 seconds and get the top prizes regardless of skill. It would be a whole lot fairer than how things are now! Hotfix with that please? Thanks.
I really agree with RPM Justin, FI V8 is hard to obtain and there is always a way to spend it. Most used card as he said... Buying 7-8 common V8 boxes only gave me less than 15 FI V8. And that's a lot of tokens. About cheaters. Something inside Gameloft's management should be changed to make things different. The approach. Or all this situation is not enough to lose money, that's why they are not interested in fixing issues. @Sunfox, I sent you a PM on GL forums ages ago, if you didn't read it, please check.
If it was about market domination trust me everywhere but on iOS the rewards would've been halved... Your argument is invalid.
Sorry, but nobody except GL knows the reason! All explanations I heard up to now are just guesses or rumours. It's ok to do so and maybe one or a combination is correct, but one shouldn't pretend that this one or that one is the truth. I know from the only valid source, GL itself, that they have a reason, but will not tell us. That's the only fact concerning the reduced rewards. As this is also one of my major points, I say thanks for also raising that issue. Just recently we had some discussion here about engine cards. Anyhow, I want to add (without lowering the importance of fiv8) that imo the most needed card is adv. tech. I have e.g. enough fiv8 engines to pro Venom, but not enough adv. techs Thus, I strongly support the weekly tech event (as in last and present week ). I wouldn't agree with B,A,S box cups. Every B,A,S box I ever won, is still unopened in my inventory. Similar problem I have with all part boxes. One simply gets enough of them from arb. boxes and SRK boxes. I monitored the last over 1000 arb. cards I received: over 50% D,C,B part cards, over 22% low techs, over 15% A,S part cards. But only 2% mid-techs and less than 1% adv. techs. Making valid assumptions about engines is still too early, but values are already interesting as they don't follow the expected ratios for standard, rare, legendary v6: 14 i4: 11 v8: 3 electric: 12 hybrid: 7 F6: 8 v10: 5 v12: 4 i6: 3 fiv8: 2 v16: 1 rotary: 1 w16: 0
There are rules and laws to ensure fair competition and you get fined big money if you're caught breaking them. And since GL doent give us an explanation we can assume everything.
Has anyone compared the number of TLE entries on iOS vs Android? Just get users on each side to pick a timed cup they don't care about much, and wait until JUST before you're disqualified before crossing the finish line. This should put you at or very close to the bottom, meaning you know exactly how many participants there are. I did that once on a Windows cup out of curiosity. This would at least show either a massive difference in players, or rule it out as a potential reason. @quailstorm: just took a look at it now... unfortunately that would need a LOT of work to be usable.
Of course, but it's better than starting from zero. Do you have any contact or that was just a random idea of yours? We should escalate the talk about issues, since bragging in forums or quitting the game did not solve anything so far. Practically I would cut out the technical part and insert the shameless customer care messages instead. No need for explanations anymore, it's self explanating. It amazes me, that such low quality service can earn money for a company. Mostly because of the fame. And I did not talk about respect to promoters. I mean, even I got 500 000 views in 1,5 years, youtubers surely helped A8 community to grow... And all we get is a spit in the face and a laugh. Seems fair.
I would look into an android device with Nvidia Tegra chip, like Google Pixel C or even the android TV if you want a console for your HDTV
No, sorry, no contacts. If I had, I'd simply do it myself. And I agree, all the technical stuff has to go. Explain how the game works at its most basic level, so people understand why someone might cheat in the first place, how this affects competition events between players, and how much of a problem it is that GameLoft continues to accept payments for features that go towards competing in events where, for all practical purposes, the results are fixed and there's no possible hope of winning.
@Fabien It was nice that Gameloft decided to give another chance to players that missed the Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG cup, but players that gathered 18 cup and won 500 tokens will get 500 tokens again and the dedicated/loyal/old players who won the car dont get 500 tokens again. This is really funny/tragic because last year when I asked compensation for unfair ban, CC answer was that they can't compensate because that would be unfair to the other players. So I guess CC will send me 500 tokens to make things fair?
Thought the same - LOL. Next time best strategy is to fail in first R&D. Solution had been so simple, make R&D also second time available for all players, but simply with some other first price, e.g. 50k credits. I know that technically is it possible from the case I won same car twice in 2 events or from fetching decals that also show up a credit price instead.
You can't collect R&D prizes twice on the same account. For those of us who went through the Huracan R&D a second time, every time you went to collect a prize you'd previously collected, you'd get a lovely pop-up warning telling you that you that it's already been claimed, and this is normal behavior for cheaters. Yeah, lovely. Prizes you already own in other events, such as cars and decals, get replaced with a partial value in credits or tokens. I do think that those who failed for whatever reason the first time on the MB cup have the advantage here, because they can collect whatever they got the first time a second time. Because of that, the cup should've been offered to everyone with a reduced value first-place prize (maybe 100k credits).
@Zeremoniar There was a way to win the prizes again in MB cup, but I didnt use it. Me and my stupid honesty.
Oh, sorry, just remarked I wrote R&D, but meant SLK cup. Was so surprised to see R&D this morning that it was still in my mind. In principle I just wanted to suggest what you wrote in your last 2 sentences. I even don't want to know it - and honesty isn't stupid!
It is in Gameloft case. Unfortunately I have very good memory and I remember every misbehavior from me or GL. I still remember preparing to win the 9FF in MP Cup on Windows only to find out the update came early on windows phone and that cup was already over when we got the update. This didnt get a do over. Or getting banned for pushing in game buttons. Another car missed. Good old days! If I didnt play on windows I would say they deserve the hackers. PS: @Fabien Gameloft stop releasing TLEs on windows with cars as prize for Top 10-20 because I will not cheat no matter what the top prize is.
On Android TOP 20 / 25 will get the Toyota - a 450k credit car - LOL. I remember times TOP 80 was able to get a car on that level. What comes next TOP 10, TOP 5 , TOP 1, TOP 0.....
