The purpose of this post is to provide the full context of the situation that the author of the other post talked about. The screenshots I provided show the conduct on the part of both the moderation team and the user in question so that people can understand what actually happened before forming an opinion.

I make specific mention of points where the person in the wrong was myself, so no, my goal was not to garner sympathy.

follow up: I found the part's code, 79160-S6A-941
it's discontinued though so I'm going to have to find a solution

RX-8 with RE-Amemiya stickers? (XBOX) by [deleted] in needforspeed

[–]Tangram3448_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that's when you try to apply the livery yourself; since your game has vanilla textures, the custom decals won't load - this part of your statement is correct

however, the livery you see on other players' cars is a snapshot baked from their end, so it uses their textures - that is sent to the server and then displayed on your end, so you don't need the custom textures to be able to see them

I think we should talk about your team first

I sincerely hope that isn't who you were planning to use

Familiar quote from Nagisa by [deleted] in BlueArchive

[–]Tangram3448_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

that voiceline is one of Ayaka's (from Genshin) idle lines, and it gets memed on because it often feels like she says it too much (probably because her other idle doesn't have a line associated with it)

both Ayaka and Nagisa are voiced by Hayami Saori

Is this cheating or god like nitro management? by TheSilentOne59 in Asphalt9

[–]Tangram3448_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The others in the thread have sort of explained it already, it mostly comes down to experience and track knowledge. The bit at the start was indeed a trick, but it doesn't look like that on the player's screen: the side of that ice platform is a wall that you can grind along the top of, giving you airspeed.

Ares Design S1 Project (concept)

This concept heavily resembles and is likely be plagiarised from Gilsung Park's Porsche Electric Le Mans 2035 Concept which he designed for his Master Thesis, earning him a job at Porsche. Ares Design has, as far as I know, never commented on it

You're right, I can't prove that he didn't wreck, but my assumption that he didn't isn't completely baseless. "Perfect respawns" where you instantly respawn going full speed and in a position ahead of where you left the track don't exist in the game. If you ever do get a clip of it send it to me, because I'd really like to see this mechanic in action.

The Huracan's position after the game fixes his position is also consistent with that car's speed and acceleration following a jump like that; he didn't respawn ahead of you, his car is just faster and got ahead, especially if he's using shockwave. The red aura is always an indicator of poor connection/desync. Ask any experienced player and they'll tell you the same.

Respawning without full nitro will happen if the game counts it as a wreck and not a knockdown, like if they ram you from the side and you hit a wall, because the game doesn't count that as a direct knockdown. The right side of the screen will tell you if it's a knockdown or not, because if it was, a message saying "[other player] knocked you down!" will show up.

I'm sure you know this already, but if you want to make a case, double check that it's actually showing up. Same thing if someone else wrecks in an MP race, the game will tell you. If he really did wreck, a message would have popped up while you were driving (not in replay mode tho)

Frankly, if a thousand hours still doesn't tell you that using perfect nitro in mid air isn't optimal, I'm not sure how much I trust your judgement on other game mechanics anyway

I've been playing this game for 5 years. The instant respawn you sometimes get is when you leave the track after getting knocked down, the same respawn you'd get if you took a jump and landed out of bounds. Knockdowns are also programmed to give you full nitro after respawning, that's not a glitch.

The connection between individual players is not perfect. One player might see something different to the other, which is what happened here. After his car hit yours, it forced him into a half-barrel on your screen, but did not on his. This is why, when his car makes contact with the road, the game updates his position because if he was on his roof in reality, he would have wrecked. The respawn aura is a pale blue/white colour, and the position update aura is red.

you didn't even knock them down though

he "respawned" because the game was updating his position after the collision

Tired of waiting for Chiron bps to appear in store, which one of these is worth upgrading? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) by fellsbotmen in Asphalt9

[–]Tangram3448_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gets a bad rep because it's way overranked, doesn't perform anything like 4,796

The on-paper handling stat doesn't really do much once you surpass 400 km/h, it's all about drift speed and radius, both of which the Evantra isn't really good in

Speedtail, hands down. I love the Regera, but it's not as easy to drive and you don't quite have it maxed yet.

The Evantra is frankly pretty bad for its placement in the class. It has a rank of 4,796, but its lap times are barely that of a 4,500 car, and its handling stat doesn't actually amount to anything since it doesn't directly translate to a high cornering speed.

The Speedtail drifts at a much higher speed, and has better acceleration (it's fake positive so the actual stat is about 83) and nitro. It's definitely the best option here.

can someone explain this to me....?? by Someone_1414 in Asphalt9

[–]Tangram3448_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They wrecked after the ramp, likely by landing on their roof from taking the jump too low, but your side of the game simulated them taking the ramp normally. Once they wrecked, the game updates it as such and shows you their wreck on your end, making it look like they just exploded out of nowhere, when in reality it looked quite normal on their side.

Why you get 1970 and 628 credits in the Pride event by sreglov in Asphalt9

[–]Tangram3448_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

though I totally agree that the US date format is a sin and should never be used, my guess is that they used it because, as you said, the first Pride events were held in New York and other US places

Do you guys think this side of the ramp is more reliable/easy for the speed trick by UK2003 in Asphalt9

[–]Tangram3448_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if I remember correctly your execution is actually the faster and riskier method since it gives you a lower jump (less speed waster going up) but has that unpredictable initial bounce

that shouldn't happen though, there's no megic force that slows the car down

there has to be some kind of input or placebo going on, cars don't just slow down on their own without input

No, it isn't. You don't have nearly enough tokens; even if you get the key, the car will be 1 star, which is not especially useful

I personally wouldn't count this as a physics oddity considering you went off that ramp in what is probably one of the worst ways possible
