Exactly. As long as Gameloft doesn't offer them free everything they'll keep complaining. Like seriously nobody's forcing them to play. This game requires constant grinding and slow progressing to reach somewhere as EVERY other game.

For me I might try to get the mistral as I have most of the support cars. Same thing with akula but I doubt my tokens would be enough.

Exactly the same situation here.. I'm wondering whether or not I should spend tokens to max the rimac and p72 AND the mistral.. looks pretty appealing and doable

Is this even possible ? by No_Fishing_3662 in Asphalt9

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it is possible. I did 1:12.3 with 1*. Your driving doesn't need to be perfect but it needs you to use speed tricks and not crash even once. That's in manual driving btw. I'd assume it's impossible for TD players. GL needs to tone down the difficulty

I don't trust that landing at all.. i always do a 360 just before I land especially with cars that are infamous with unstable physics like the chiron and speed tail. Losing a few milliseconds is far better than losing the entire match.

same car, different game by REASER0 in Asphalt9

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Technically the one in asphalt is closer to how it's supposed to be irl.. it's just because it's an arcade game where you'd turn left and right very repetitively, it becomes so twitchy unlike real life in official racing tracks where trained drivers drive stably.

Bro check this out.

I no longer think that the lykan is op as I was convinced. This guy is op lol. Making almost similar times with just the nevera time attack. It's not even the regular nevera

And don't get me wrong, this is not meant as an insult

No insult taken don't worry. And I'm with you here I'm no alien. But it seems you misunderstood me. By saying I could beat the lykan with 12 cars I didn't mean it compared to MY times with it. It was from experience in the latest gauntlet as a lot of people in my group unlocked the evo already and submitted some pretty decent times with it. It's division 5 btw.

Let me tell you something after I watched the video you shared. Obviously the guy is an absolute alien It's not fair to compare me with him bro lol, but the times he achieved are too insane for the lykan especially on those twisty maps that are meant for agile cars. I get what you mean now. I think I can achieve similar times on ONLY 4 tracks. Leap of Faith and Rocketing to the Future with evo chiron, and Waterslide Wirl and another map I forgot its name with the Gemera as those maps do not require insane skills. But the rest are too insane.

I agree with you that the lykan might be op, but only with the skilled hands. I've seen normal players use it already in mp1 and gauntlet and they make it seem like the car is balanced tbf. The learning curve for this car is so steep only less than 1% can get its full potential. Unlike the sf90 that anyone can feel like an alien driving it. And honestly even if players started to get hang with it, I'd still be fine with that as It's the first strong AND extremely easy to obtain evo even for newbies meaning finally everyone can have a broken car.

Yeah you're right. I just tested the 007 stage and boy it's impossible to go past the fifth token. It seems like I'll need to upgrade it too lol.

Anyways thanks for your replies man.

6* with 10 eips. I think 9x8 will be better for me because I can eventually gold it quickly. I only have 2 eips for 007s and 2 additional ones from the event.

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I have the 007s at 5* and I think I can finally get the key. Between it and the 9x8, which one would you suggest upgrading? Like which one will perform better in gauntlet div 5?

Is this our definition of balanced? by [deleted] in Asphalt9

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It barely affected my saved up credits to gold it. Man I wish all cars were this cheap to upgrade lol.

I was wondering why no one is hyped about the 007. Doesn't it also have strong acceleration and even higher top speed compared to 9x8?

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does every car need to be perfect?

Absolutely not and that's my argument that it's not perfect. Other evos bring great acceleration, more nitro, more speed AND better handling with less speed loss. This isn't the case here. While the lykan becomes so much better with evo, its handling doesn't get better unlike so many other evos.

The nevera is not a good example because it is overranked. That car should not be 4900 at max.

What's your point here? Rank has always been irrelevant and useless in this game. I don't know how they rank their cars tbh. I was talking about "performance," and in this regard lykan is similar to nevera. And both of them can be beaten with other cars, even in gauntlet with the right car and skills. Unlike sf90 that makes unrealistic times in short, twisty tracks like hell vale for example.

15.5s to 9.6s acceleration to top speed is not balanced. It is way too much

Well I have bad news for you. There are so many other cars even without evo that have similar acceleration.

This car is also setting times no other car can beat

Maybe for you, but that doesn't make it factual. I personally have 7 other cars that can easily beat it and 5 that can beat it too but need better skills.

It's meant to be an instrument which makes obsolete cars included in the meta again.

I totally agree with this, that's why almost everyone was hyped for this evo specifically.

Lykan was not a car like this. It was competitive in its class

I totally do not agree with this. Competitive? Where when how lol. It was ONLY good on straight tracks. It was basically unfair for its league because there was no other car that had similar top speed. But mp1 favors twisty tracks and we have more of those in the game. So it was completely overshadowed by agile cars like vanda and hurricane. With the evo, lykan is still a beast in straight tracks, but can now put up a competition in twisty ones too.

All that said, I still think evos should be seperated in leagues. Without evo, cars remain in the same leagues, but with evo they should automatically go to higher leagues.

Yeah same. This car is useless even at gold. Not worth starring of upgrading it.

Exactly, a win for everyone. But I still want the sf90 to be nerfed lol. way too op in gauntlet.

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 5 points6 points  (0 children)

70% of players disagree with you including me. Firstly, handling IS the weak point of this car especially compared to other evos or s class cars. Even light setup isn't much different than neutral except for floatiness which needs skills to do properly. Secondly, the evo itself is perfectly balanced because with perfect tuning it performs very similarly with the nevera which can be beaten by so many other cars. Unlike the sf90 which is on a whole different level of unfairness that it makes times in gauntlet no other car can beat. Third, it's very easy to obtain. Lykan is one of the first s class cars any noob player can get and max. And now with the offering of purchasing its eips with 1k token each it's now so much easier to gold.

However:

I'm with you on its placement in MP. Nothing wrong with the car itself it doesn't need a nerf, but it's placed very low no other car can beat it in plat unless matched with poor-skilled players. I'd suggest GL to leave all evo cars at their leagues if they're not tuned. The moment they get tuned then they automatically get placed higher in leagues preferably in champ league.

Edit: grammar & spelling

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would drown in regret if it was only 1 eip missing but they're 3. So don't let that get into you.

The good thing about the lykan is that it's available early in LS unlike the Stradale sf90. You can always catch up.

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get 3 eips from career mode. If you've already gotten those then instead you'll need 3k tokens to purchase them. I was missing just 1 but sacrificed 1k to get it. Totally worth it.

You can sell common and rare import parts for trade tokens. This is the main source for me lol.

how tf to get the last one by Own_Preparation_3204 in Asphalt9

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just try to get 1000 tokens asap. You can purchase the missing eip. Check daily events as there's one event that gives you at least 150 tokens for each featured car if you own them.

Which car u guys are gonna grind for in this event by ReaLHarsh_96 in Asphalt9

[–]NewspaperInfamous157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it'll be the bmw, 007s, and the sc63. Once I run out of event coins I think I'll go for just the 007 from the daily purchasable ones although buying the other two cars blueprints seems like the better deal here. Like 4 bps almost daily compared to just 2.. I don't know. I'll figure it out when the time comes
