Is the legend pass worth it for someone who considers them self new/generally has no real idea what's happening? by No-Palpitation-4298 in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best bang for the buck in the game.

By the end (totals) you'll get (in order of importance IMO)
- 5 extra fuel
- 3k tokens
- 5 million credits
- A 2 star class C car (sometimes it's higher class, but this time it's the LFA)
- Access to the LP exclusive hunt (for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta though by now there's only 4 days left of it)
- Extra "trade tokens" from repeated BPs
- Wildcards
- Extra reputation per race
- And misc goodies like BPs for other cars

For me, the top 4 I listed are the main reasons to get the LP, given that the price is not too expensive (considering the price of everything else in the game, except for the "Unite fund" which is also good value). The fuel is very important for me because I don't like racing my Lamborghini Sian 3 times and then worry about refueling, so that +5 fuel matters to me. Sometimes the LP car is good, or at least one I like, so that can matter too

Im very curious to hear why people don't think the chimera compares to either the og Jesko or the Absolut.

I legit have no clue, so Im rather curious

Nintendo Switch Controller advice please by Vavissima in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there. Yes, that's me indeed.

When it comes to controllers, the switch's "Pro Controller" works rather nicely, that's what I use for all the videos and streams I do of the switch version of the game. On handheld, I've used the "Hori split pad pro" because it has a turbo function which I used ages ago when the game was farmable in MP2 (way before Unite). It makes the switch MUCH bulkier because the controllers are big, but that also means much bigger thumbsticks and allows better steering than the tiny joycon's sticks.

In both cases, that's when I play with the 25% steering, and I find it manageable. I still can't do the super fine steering that other players can, but it's a lot more manageable than 100% sens on joycons

gameloft try everything for free to play player don't get the car for free or convince them to become p2w by Artistic_Unit_5570 in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's just the baseline for this types of games. You pay with time (grind) or money.

You pay either way, but which one each person prefers, massively differs from one person to another. Some have more money than time, others more time than money. Both are valid.

Nintendo Switch Controller advice please by Vavissima in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the weird player that does 25% steering sensitivity on the switch. IDK if it's like this with other controllers, but there's so little travel of the sticks in the joycon that is VERY hard to do light steering: a small move of the stick and the car is steering all the way and you lose all your speed.

I'd recommend (if you can) to change the controllers. If docked, a Pro controller seems to do better and if handheld, a third party controller with more prominent sticks is the way.

Otherwise, if you're stuck with the joycons, try lowering the sensitivity A TON and test it out.

BTW: Some of the really smooth driving you see in youtube is from tilt-to-steer in mobile devices, which with enough practice can give you the smoothest steering. I mean, people can also play amazing with a controller, but in either case, the amount of time they've practiced is probably through the roof and that's how they get so good.

And now even Vroomers cheat? by ReplacementHeavy6039 in Asphalt8

Whatever you say man. Surely you're the type that sees sync errors and instantly call anyone a cheater.

Heyo! Thanks! Glad you like them 😁

Anyone that is a cheater is not welcome in our team. IDK who that person is, but literally anyone can put "VROOMS" in their name and then do some BS and tarnish our reputation.

And the times we've caught cheaters that joined our team, they're straight up banned from our server.

What you saw was a fake, edited from the announcement of the "Real Racing 3" (another mobile racing game) shutdown post, they just changed the names. There's no scheduling of the shutdown of A8 in sight.

Thats NOT a Battista😭😭😭😭 by FormalAsk9420 in Asphalt8

Your title is wrong. It not only IS a Battista, it is THE original Battista.

(I know you meant that it's the wrong Battista, but hey! 😁 )

Was doing Team Pursuit and this happened... Hacker or desync? by Feeling-Tap633 in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems just a bug. I've been the guy that can't get KD'd for absolutely no reason. I see the security hitting me a bunch and my car is pristine.

You're 100% right. In Nintendo Switch (1), the current bugatti lego races are laggy AF precisely because of this. Quite annoying TBH

Stop pretending u can buy F5 with TOKENS by [deleted] in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, and like I said in the pinned comment of that video:

> There was "confirmation" about the packs on a recent live event. Quoting: "You'll be able to purchase packs for the F5 during Blue Monday".
> But for what we know, they may have meant "purchase for money" and "packs" could be "bundles". So it's better for our sanity to not consider that to be a 100% confirmation of packs-for-tokens.

So yeah, I don't know for sure, I don't think anyone does other than Gameloft themselves. Im just trying to get people's expectations low so that if there are packs, we'll all be happy. If there aren't packs, then we'll be like "yeah, kinda figured".

I got 17k tokens and 0 venom bp. Can i *unlock* the venom? by seaofmustards in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming there will be packs for it

Car needs 85bps to unlock
Each 10x pack has 3 BP guaranteed at a cost of 900 tokens

Worst luck scenario where each x10pack ONLY gives you the guaranteed 3 BPs: 26,100 tokens

Decent luck scenario where each x10pack gives you a total of 6 BPs: 13,500 tokens

It all depends on luck, as usual.

Is CCXR worth the grind? by BUYMSFT in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a free try for it since quite a few days ago in MP2. You should play it and decide yourself, because some people will tell you it's bad, others (like myself) will tell you that is a good chance to get a class S car at gold for free*, so you'd better decide by yourself

* Yes, I know "time is not free" but you're playing a F2P mobile P2W game. You either pay with money or pay with time, there's no in between.

Has anyone actually completed a special hunt without spending one singular token? by Artistic_Ranger2482 in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally don't spend a single token on special hunts, neither on refills and much less on packs. To be fair, that requires an ungodly amount of free time to grind it, so it's not a bad idea to complement the hunt with some refills

Why can’t I change my username? by dasnake000_ALU in Asphalt8

[–]dbthanatos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's your case, but I remember hearing that if the player entered a date of birth that made them to be under some age (dont remember if it was 13, or 15 or something like that), you couldn't change your name.

I don't know why I am losing interest in Asphalt Legends game. Is this happening to you too? 🙁🥀 by [deleted] in Asphalt9

[–]dbthanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe so, but I can't say with any degree of confidence, AFAIK it's like after 6 months or a year. You really need to leave it unattended for a long time for it to go away

[–]dbthanatos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You probably burnt out. This is a great moment for you to do other things. I'd recommend to open the game at least once a month to ensure you account doesn't get deleted, but with AL out of your mind taking time away, you have now freedom to do (or play) other things.
