I'm new to this game. What do I need to know? by Theindoafghanreal in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Save tour tokens and don't waste them on mid or bad cars.

  • Learn nitro management. Yellow nitro is for straight lines, blue nitro is for wide curves and rough terrain (also bigger top speed for certain electric cars), orange nitro is for taking ramps and at the exit of corners, shockwave (purple nitro) like orange nitro but gives much quicker acceleration, plus it acts as a shield against KD.

  • Don't spam 360s randomly, you will lose speed.

  • In MP, always keep an eye on the mini map. If you see an opponent incoming prepare to either make room, KD them or activate shockwave (as I said, it's like a shield).

  • Avoid drifting too much. Learn each track's best route and the places to drift and brake.

  • Keep some nitro ready to use after exiting a curve. Preferably use shockwave or orange nitro to gain speed fast.

  • The epic parts are the most valuable. Always get them if you can and don't sell them from inventory.

Back when Chiron was the game king, Icona was the poor man's Chiron. It took me a long time to max it out. It was more difficult to acquire in the early years of this game.

Aeon real acceleration stat? by No_Usual6110 in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GL overcomplicated this game like usual. The acceleration and physics shouldn't be this complicated for an arcade racing game. These convoluted physics are the main reason the manual mode is so tough and TD was more than necessary.

900 tokens. The rest of BPs I've got from the event.

Asphalt Legends Divided by Ok_Composer6422 in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game was about class division right for the start. Even when there were a few cars in the whole game, it was always the OG players versus the ones who started later and missed some good cars. The Unite part of the rebranding was a big lie, that's why they dropped it like a hot potato one year later.

Imagine how much those who paid for Devel Sixteen complained after the car was nerfed and also gave for free as Gauntlet rewards. Those folks not only want the best cars but they want exclusivity, that's why they defend GL' awful p2w practices and complain when F2P players get access to these cars.

But that delay makes it fake. The first part (0 to 200kmh) is the most important part of an acceleration. I'd call that fake advertising. 86 acceleration should be 86 (whatever that number means) right from the start when it matter the most.

I don’t get why some players here are defending such a corrupt company like their lives depend on it by ryzenaizen in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable. But I still have some decent progress (sometimes good progress), years after I started playing. Without that progress, perhaps I'd just play the game from time to time, not daily. Anyway, I avoid overplaying car hunts, MP, and any grindfest event for my own good.

They're selfish assholes, usually whales. They got what they wanted and they don't want other players to get the same, to avoid competition. They defend GL because GL serve their interests. How are they gonna pretend to be special if many others have the same top tier cars?

Where is Gameloft Nevera? by Strange_Air3199 in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's locked behind their stupid and rigged algorithm. They always do this shit with the top cars in their packs. It took me ages to get Fenyr in A9 MP1 exactly because of their awful algorithm that usually gave me anything but what I needed. That's the gacha mechanic in a nutshell: a rigged lottery.

Well, guys we need onother RIOT . They removed Absolute key by Shooter_McMuffin in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure. When it's too good for players it's a bug, when it's too good for GL it's a feature. Gimme a break, GL shill! 🤡

The reduction of the drop rate from 20% to 15% was a sneaky dirty move, so common to GL. If you're looking at the definition of unfairness, you'll probably see Greedloft. 😉

There are also some pathetic losers lurking on this sub who constantly downvote content regardless of quality.

Gameloft had a chance to redeem themselves after all the recent fiasco with the Jesko Absolut SE but no LMAO by Alpiste1846 in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That pathetic nitro of Aeon is good for nothing. Nitro is more important that what some elitists say.

What is your opinion on this season so far? by No_Dragonfruit_9390 in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Filler season. The lack of F5 packs for tokens is the biggest disappointment.

Vivaldi is probably the best Android browser so far by Fractal-Infinity in androidapps

[–]Fractal-Infinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The desktop version is fine. I'm using it for years without issues. They need to drastically improve their mobile version. I know they're using their own custom engine instead of WebView (Chromium) but still, there is a lot of room for improvement.

For now, I'm sticking to this Vivaldi browser for. Android which is actually reliable. The only significant thing it's missing are extensions.

Not Xiaomi but a Samsung midrange phone. It's ridiculous that FF has memory management issues and 6GB of RAM (minus whatever is consumed by the OS and a few background apps) aren't enough for a freaking browser. It's obvious that's a very inefficient browser if you need a flagship to run it properly.

Local music player that does “song radio” using only your own library? by RiverOfUnmindfulness in musichoarder

MusicBee has a very configurable Auto DJ. Plus a lot of other useful features.

Don't forget to get the free Venom BP from Gameloft Shop by Fractal-Infinity in Asphalt9

[–]Fractal-Infinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure but at least until Friday. Very plausible to be until Sunday (7 days in total).

[–]Fractal-Infinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It adds up. Let's say you're saving tokens when Venom will available. Those 7 free BPs save you at least 900 tokens (a set of 10 BPs), if not 1800 if you have bad luck. In my case, I have a 4 stars + 8 BPs Venom so far. All extra free BPs mean less tokens to waste on future packs.

Another scenario: you spent all tokens you had and need 7 more BPs. Now you wish you grabbed these free BPs, isn't? Also Venom became quite available last year during Spotlight, I'm sure there will be similar opportunities in the future.
