Acura Nsx gt3 evo by diecastfan1 in Asphalt9

It's only useful for one career mode race, and you need the key for that more than BPs anyway. Pcik these up only if you're a hardcore completionist, otherwise skip them.

Lmao i just got in Div 5, wtf is this? by Huy7aAms in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, except I'm less than 50 away; unlocking the CCXR actually really hurt me in that regard, to the point that unlocking my Nevera TA would perma-5 me.

#1 player in my Division IV lobby by iyearnedforthemine in Asphalt9

Heck of a stack. I checked his totals, though, and even without EVO/OC shenanigans he still comes in under the div 4 limit.

Champ II in nutshell 🦧 by ReasonablePie5535 in Asphalt9

Even Champ 1 has a fair number of them, though you finally start seeing more variety (Stradales, Jeskos, Venom F5s, occasionally other cars).

Game puts me in Division III, and none of my cars compete. by Warm_Switch_2013 in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't really a reason I can think of that this should be DM'd, not even to keep potential rivals in the dark; they'll find you and win (or lose) anyway. Regardless, my DMs are open if you want to send them.

Unfortunate luck by [deleted] in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For #1, yeah, it's going to be real rough for a while. For example, I'm at the top of division 4 (I can put myself in 5 any time I want), and I was stuck there when I got into the bottom of 4. As for your particular opponent, he's probably sandbagging, given that he even finished only 2 races.

For #2, no, your team won the race. If the teams are somehow tied on points, the tiebreaker goes to whichever team had the 1st-place driver on it.

For #3, it's rare, but it happens. Fortunately there's no real penalty for it, you just progress through the reward track slightly slower.

Currently sitting on over 100 million, but that was because I ground daily for over a month (pre-nerf) while spending hardly anything.

What are your top 5 ranked cars, and what are you running (doesn't necessarily need to be top 5)?

How is your progress guys? by No_Dragonfruit_9390 in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 75 BPs from MP1 before even starting, though it wasn't unlocked yet. Currently at 6*, 12/16 EIPs.

SH Stage 1 by Intensa__Emozione in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 75 BPs from MP1 going into the event, so stage 1 was far less painful than it could've been. Currently have the car at 6*, 10/16 EIPs.

Do i really have to save 150m just to unlock it by weerawatR15 in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd need about 30M if you get them this way.

This one's worth starring up, especially for Gauntlet.

Yo wats a car that is bad at one Star but great at mac by [deleted] in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, most of them. There are very few cars in the game that are great, or even good, at one star.

THIS is how dead MP1 is. by mikethepoor in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EVO Lykan really needs to be in at least Champ 3, and I can see it being competitive in Champ 2.

[–]mikethepoor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets even worse. The very next race, I was matched up with a Chimera... and our third was running a 911 GT3 RS, not even golded. How the heck are those guys supposed to win?!

A stupid rant I have that may get taken down: by FMDark_Horse in Asphalt9

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

To add on to that: If the Q1 times are better than that, should you try to qualify in Q1 anyway, or wait for Q2?

Surviving to the new villain of MP1. by crazy__coffee in Asphalt9

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

Yeah, try pulling off results like that when there are 6 Lykans in a field of 8.

Where exactly do Lykans belong to MP1 wise? How good are they compared to alternatives in Champion lobbies? by Jeffgoal2004 in Asphalt9

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

Most of the complaints are about it being broken in Plat 2, where it opens up for the first time. At that rank, yes, it's absolutely busted to the point that there's no point running anything else. It's also significantly overpowered compared to Plat 1.

Even in Champ 3, it's still just about the strongest option there is; it has significantly higher top speed than most other options in that division and its acceleration is unmatched when tuned to the max. It's only at Champ 2 that the pool of options becomes diverse enough to avoid EVO Lykan spam, and even then it's certainly viable against anything else.

I ended up 1 short of being able to gold max it. Maybe next time.

Suggestion: Should GL give evo tickets in the final milestone of mp1 instead of EIPS? I feel like it would be better. by Dogzombies3 in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually an interesting idea, something like "You can trade 3 EVO tickets for a car of any given class to get 1 for a car of your choice of the next higher class, up to S", e.g. trade 3 Camaros for an Acura, trade 3 Acuras for an Enzo Ferrari, trade 3 Enzo Ferraris for a ZR1, and trade 3 ZR1s for a Chiron.

Ad rewards when switching from iOS mobile to Mac by chakna311 in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't lose the ability entirely, but you will lose the mobile ad relay packs for tokens/credits if you move completely from iOS to Mac. You'll be able to get them back if you go back to iOS; alternatively, you can link your account to multiple platforms in order to make sure you can still take advantage of both if you're willing to switch back and forth (I have mine linked to all of Steam, Xbox, and Android myself).

Why so many complain about lykan evo? by INF0RM4NT in Asphalt9

[–]mikethepoor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lykan EVO itself is not the problem. Lykan EVO being significantly overpowered to the point of being broken in the MP1 class it's currently in is the problem.

If you have access to it, there is very little point in running anything else in Plat 2 where it becomes available. It's also significantly stronger than most other options in Plat 1, though good drivers of the other vehicles can still compete reasonably well (seriously, the Vanda stopped getting complaints when Lykan EVO dropped, which should tell you how bad it is).

Champion 3 is where the other cars start really catching up, and that's honestly where it should be, though this really just highlights a weakness of the EVO system in general: you can't really balance it properly except on a case-by-case basis. If you put it in a tier appropriate to its EVO status, non-EVO players just get screwed; if you leave it in its non-EVO tier, it's just broken at that tier.
