@TheRealJony why couldnt you just say "yes its only speculation and yes it wont affect me as i'm not a vip player" and leave it at that, why do you feel the need to beat me down? or are you just attacking me because i attacked your hero status in another thread? grow up and move on

---

@richieluv76 Whoa.

Where did this come from...?

All I was doing was correcting what you thought I said with what I really said. I wasn't attacking you in any way.

However, the way you worded it makes it look like you do want to get into an argument with me.

you're just speculating at the moment as what will happen on the removal of tournaments, it hasnt happened yet so stop ranting on about it not being fair that you'll get less tickets, which by the way is your choice, you could also be a vip player but choose not to invest in the game when so many others do invest in the game

---

If you worded it like this, "you're only speculating at the moment as what will happen on the removal of tournaments, it hasnt happened yet so wait until it actually happens", then it wouldn't look like you want to get into an argument with me.

But I would still make my corrections.

now lets just throw something else into the mix, what about all those people with "jailbroken" devices that could just keep refilling their tickets?

the only part of yout argument i actually agree with is vip players have an advantage when using ticket refills, i dont fully agree with the sleep issue because a "no life" gamer could wake up after 5 hours, because tickets take 1 hour to generate if a player really wanted to they could play every single ticket that gets generated, but i'm sure you're like me, work and life in general tends to get in the way of things

but that being said, because there is a mechanism in game to gain gold i dont completely agree with the ticket refill issue either because a free player can still get ticket refills, admittedly in the long run it would cost them more gold for the same end result, i personally choose not to use ticket refills, i'd rather save my gold for when special events roll around

---

Since the game update already came, it would be kind of pointless to continue this argument unless you do want to know my arguments. 😉

But I will say to not take sleeping as a factor. 8 hours is the typical amount of hours a person needs to sleep. Anything less is detrimental to a person's health if it accumulates.

but ultimately its only a game, just because somebody gets top of the leaderboard what does that really prove?

It proves that we're the best racers and elite players in Blackridge City. XD

Hi Team... well, I finally cracked it thanks to your advice....  Icon 4501 SP currently sitting in 108th position on the leader-board! Whoohooo

That said, I do think it was more a case of good luck, than good racing.

I woke up this morning and decided today was the day I was going to claim that gold icon, whatever it takes... and boy did it take a lot!

I started the day on about 4448 PR thinking I'd be past 4500 before I'd finished my first cuppa coffee. Wishful thinking! My first 5 races were a disaster, with the second race almost driving me to delete NFS-NL permanently, when my 1053 PR CCX was smoked by a LAMBO in what couldn't have been a more perfect run on my part. WTF?!? (could only have been a cheater, which is extremely annoying)

Anyway, I let off some steam in a symphony of expletives and got back to business, only to get thumped in the next few races and plummeted back down to a humble 4320. But, I stuck to my 'whatever it takes' guns and burnt through all my remaining gold (about 400) to sneak back past the 4400 mark again by midday. After a long break of hourly refills I finally started enjoying a bit more 'luck of the draw' along with a consistent string of races without making too many mistakes. By 11:30pm, it was mission accomplished.

---

@WildeKnight07 Congrats on reaching Icon rank I. You're now part of the best racers and elite players group. lol

However, the brief sense of personal 'victory' was quickly overshadowed by the foreboding feeling that my new 'Icon' status was more of a lucky 'slot machine' spin, than a well deserved win (if you get my meaning). Yes, a measure of skill is required to 'be in the game' but I strongly suspect this accounts for less than 50% of your actual progress and the bulk of progress is actually determined by how lucky you are with which opponents you draw in which events.

---

If you continue to win races even after you reached Icon rank I, then you do have the skills to win races in Blackridge Rivals.

However if you start to lose races after you reached Icon rank I, then you were just lucky to get opponents that have below average driving skills.

If we at least had the ability to choose which opponents we raced against (based upon SP ratings), a measure of strategy would be introduced to BRR. E.g. Choose an opponent with a lower SP, giving you a better chance of winning a few points and progressing slowly, coupled with the higher cost of losing against this opponent if you make a mistake, verses selecting an opponent with a higher SP, giving you the chance to progress faster if you win while losing fewer SP if you lose, although the risk of losing is much higher... so it's a trade-off decision we would each make as players, as opposed to having this decision made for us by the game.

I certainly look forward to seeing how BRR evolves after pre-season. Could be epic, could be a disaster. Time will tell.

There's always this kind of issue in Multiplayer games.

There are the low-SP assassins, which are players that have low-SP but they drive amazingly. They could also be a high-SP player in an alternate account.

And there are the high-SP wannabes, which are players that have high-SP but they drive atrociously.

@richieluv76 you were right about the update upseting players: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfsnolimits/comments/5avy3b/bye/

C ya 🙂

@TudorSicaru Couldn't you just delete No Limits from your mobile device instead of wiping out your game data...?

I mean you can always get No Limits back when you feel like playing it again, but deleting your game data is permanent.

Once it's gone, it's gone FOREVER!

And all the real money you spent for your game data went down the drain!

But it's too late now since you've already done it.

I just met you officially a few days ago, but it's always sad to see someone leave the game.

Good luck in whatever you're doing in real life and I wish you the best in your endeavours.

See ya!

There are a few issues I have had with BRR. First, it seems I am racing against cars that didn't run the same race with the same traffic as me. I say this because I have seen my opponents on a few occasions drift THROUGH a car and it not slow them down. That tells me that car wasn't there when they did the run.

---

@jimmywdavis09 I'll just copy and paste this here as I'm getting really tired answering the same thing over and over again.

i think part of the problem with BRR is there are multiple variants of the same course and you are not always racing like for like, i've had races where i've had a clear road and the ghost has spun out, equally i've had races where i've had tons of obstacles to avoid yet the ghost has gone straight through, so how is this even fair, it is fundamentally flawed

---

@richieluv76 There are multiple variants of the same track, but you and your ghost opponent do face the same stuff that's thrown at you guys.

If there's a police roadblock, you and the ghost opponent both have to dodge the roadblock.

If there's traffic, you and the ghost opponent both have to dodge the traffic car.

For example, a race name called "Elevator Sprint" has ramps and traffic cars. It takes place on Ironboar Bridge Chase at night.

The track has ramps all over the place. Both you and the ghost opponent jump off the ramps if you guys choose to take them.

If you had a clear road and your ghost opponent had spun out, then your ghost opponent REALLY spun out on a clear road.

If you had tons of stuff to dodge and your ghost opponent had went straight through them, then your ghost opponent must had been traveling at a high speed and dropped some speed upon impact. However, your ghost opponent was still able to continue racing. (From 440 km/h to 380 km/h as an example)

@jin1995x Please edit your posts if you want to add something more to say, like how I do with my posts. 

It makes Answer HQ a bit more cleaner if you make good use of the edit function.

Thank you.

I lurked at your "Clash of the Titans" thread in Reddit and I found it quite interesting...to an extent.

I'm already too late as real life ate my time the past couple of days, but I feel like posting my best times.

First one is my Koenigsegg CCX's best time.

(About my CCX's PR, I kind of neglected it when I chose to upgrade my Ferrari LaFerrari. That's why its PR is so low. lol )

Second one is my Ferrari LaFerrari's best time.

After racing for best times for a couple of minutes, I got too bored of doing that so I do what normally do whenever I race against AIs.

That is ramming and taking out AIs to earn $500 for each takedown. 👿

So yea. Third one is my AI takedown.
