Re: To NFS NO LIMITS Developers - Stop Being so HARD & add new locations soon,

 @TheRealJony I appreciate your efforts..

But its tough for us who don't have patience...i like to complete games faster...

I have the skills that required in this game...

Reached Rep 40 in just 20 days...Have you reached rep 40 within 20 days ?

I highly doubt it...because simply you can't ...they put so much high requirements...without much gold & cash you can't buy anything in the game....

What you earn in races..almost 80% of them goes in upgrading,,,

They sell the parts(either free in loading docks or TAKE AWAY cash that are earned in races , GOLD(Premium crates)) 

Now they charge for that .....why not they allow us to upgrade the items for free ? they are taking away cash in my account whenever i upgrade the parts even though the parts are paid in loading docks ....Buy 5 ($20,000) where several rare parts can be found.

This is another thing that i don't like about this game

They can charge for upgrading free parts and keep the upgrades free for parts that are recieved after paying cash..

You didn't get bored of playing in same locations and same concepts ?

@Stylehot5 If you don't have the patience to play to progress, then there's the option of pay to progress.

Pay2progress is much faster than play2progress.

However, I chose the play2progress route as I play games whenever I have time to play games.

Here's two videos about Microtransactions and Freemium games:

Watch them and you'll then know the same things from the videos are done with No Limits.

It was a long time ago (almost a year ago), but I did reach Level 40 + within 20 days.

I got a Ford Shelby GT500 Snoop Dogg Edition for completing Snoop Dogg special event (the first special event in the game).

The car had over 800 PR that helped me blow pass a whole bunch of chapters in Campaign within a few days, giving me a lot of Rep rewards in the process.

No real money spent then and still no real money spent now.

The screenshot below is from almost a year ago when I reached Level 40 in just a short period of time. It's very easy to level up at low levels and it's obviously hard to level up at high levels.

Let's just say you need someone to install those materials to your car.

You bought the materials you need for your car. Now you want to install them to your car.

However, you need to pay a guy to install the materials for you.

You, then, pay a guy and then they install the materials you requested to your car.

At least installing materials requires In-Game Cash and not Gold.

Watch the South Park - Freemium Games video above for more info about this.

I've been playing No Limits for 1 year and 8 days now and I'm still having fun playing it.

Make some challenges for yourself while playing No Limits and you'll find some fun playing the game.

I, personally, try to takeout AI opponents for $500 while racing for 1st place. 😉

@TheRealJony

Ok

But its impossible when you start now( fresh start ) ...Maybe they have added you such events at the beginning(when they launched) for promotions...If they are doing naughty things like what they do now you would have not got thaT kind of awesome car in your hand...If it was like now(Difficulty) when they launched,,you would have not have surpassed these levels without Paying EA.

I've added attachment as proof that i'm vip in the game

EA scans every users with much gold and add offer and try to make users to buy them by ads and false statements like chance of rare item

i agree that item might be rare but it was never blueprint

If we didn't use any gold for some period of time they use to show up Limited time offer & add messages like we will be gifted with rare blueprints

I must admit it...Since i have more gold in my account,i fell for that ad ...i did tried. buying that...

i'm really pissed off after seeing the item in that box...it was really useless ..I just wasted 120 Gold and decided not to buy anything with gold in Loading Docks

Guys Please don't buy anything in Loading Docks with gold...i think out of 10 times trying to purchase with gold..You will get only one chance of luck where you can see blueprints.

I hate Freemium Games.

If they want to make money with Games,

Why not make the game paid aswel and make only one Single item( in-app purchase) by addiding the money of how much they want to hunt from the users,

There is an awesome game in android "Rayman jungle run" where this game is paid and has got two in-app purchases

one is to unlock all levels...once we pay for it ...that's all we can enjoy playing this game for life

But Games like this which are simply best are really getting on my nerves...why they want to make so much money..already they are earning money with play store,App store downloads.

Sometimes i think do they even have idea of what to do with the money that they have with them right now.


I have FEW CONCEPTS that can be used in this game.

Dear developers,

Please stop adding races with same concepts ... Please understand that we are getting bored of playing with the same concepts....

Here are few ideas

Before we proceed , My humble request..Could you please add laps in this game ? ...this game has got awesome graphics actually best for mobile racing game....i want to race for atleast 3 or 4 minutes...Its so annoying all these races are super short..
have FEW CONCEPTS that can be used in this game.

- "Survive the Mountains" -> Allow us to Race in Mountains

- "Locate Fuel Station" -> Same like beat the clock...instead of finish line we reach fuel station...Where Users can refill tank...Keep it xtreme and no rechances.

- "Racing in train undergronds" -> Like NFS Run can you allow us to race in undergrounds..Where we use to drive in walls when train arrives...i really liked that part in NFS Run.

- "Let the Wheels Burn" - Where users must drift 2000m in particular time

- "Don't cross the red line" - Its like another line where this line "Red" Slows you down and blue gives you charge...To be honest even kids can complete xtreme levels of supercharge your nitros in 1st try...could you please make those levels a little bit challenging ?

I Would love to play in locations That i played in NFS Run

Bring NFS : THE  RUN to mobile devices...I'll buy it

@Stylehot5 The rewards in special events have changed drastically for the worse, starting with the third special event called Xtreme Racing Championship which happened from November 25, 2015 to November 30, 2015.

The rewards for the first two special events (Snoop Dogg and Return of Razor) were simply much better.

Here's a video of a Snoop Dogg special event:

Take note of the rewards.

However, I'm more than sure I would still be able to play through everything in No Limits without spending real money if the stuff that's in No Limits right now was in No Limits back then.

If I can play games for free, then I would play games for free.

If I have to pay to play a game, then I would pay to play a game. (It depends on the game though)

It's not false advertising.

It was mentioned in the game "Chance of rare item", meaning there's a 1% chance, 5% chance, 10% chance, or 25% chance (these are examples) of getting rare items.

It's not 100% guaranteed you'll get rare items.

I don't recall ever seeing a message in-game that says "Gifted with rare blueprints"...

I only see Limited-Time offers on getting special event car blueprints on selected replayable races.

I actually like mobile games, like No Limits, to be free to download and with the option to spend real money or not.

I don't really want to spend money on buying a mobile game.

It's a different story for PC games though. I would spend money on PC games (with all DLCs included in Game of the Year Edition, Complete Edition, etc.).

If No Limits was a paid game, then I probably wouldn't get it. And if I wouldn't get it, then I wouldn't have known about NFS No Limits Answer HQ.

This seems like the easiest out of all of the ones you suggested.

This can only be done on long tracks like Blackridge Strip or Ironboar Bridge Blast. It can't be done on short tracks like Mapletree Short or Harbor Town Pass.

@TheRealJony

congrats on your No 1 position in No limits Blackridge rivals

Even though you're a good racer....You will fail hard when you dont have best cars in your hand

If you play from 1st...there are no such cars they provide you now...

Guarantee = TRUST

Say if this is a product

if this product is defective,there are 10% chance of replacement,25% chance of replacement

THIS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE,SO THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH NEW ONE

No one will buy their company products if they sell it will these type of guarantees.

The video that you showed in was not  Supercharge your nitro ( Don't cross the red line)

NFS RUN is not a bad game

Its the best racing game that i've ever played until now

The Reason for the low sale of this game

 - The game has been cracked as soon as they released the game and all people started to downloading cracked versions.

 - EA Failed to make this game online 

Bring it to mobile for free

And allow us to play 1st 5 races for free then allow us to play other levels by unlocking those levels(Paying EA)

Initial download in Play Store = 500mb

After Unlocking download game assts (6 - 8 GB) or download for each levels separately.

I don't get how a product being defective is related to gambling, chance, or luck.

When you buy Classic crates with In-Game Cash or Premium Crates with Gold, you are gambling your currency for a chance to win something good.

You're gambling your In-Game Cash or Gold to hope you win something good.

Other NFS games have been cracked by hackers as well, but some NFS games still made a lot of sales despite hackers cracking those games.

So it wasn't the cracking that caused NFS The Run to have low sales.

People just simply didn't like the game, so they told other people that the game sucked. Then word spread like a virus. That caused sales to be low thanks to peoples' word of mouth.

NFS The Run has Multiplayer in the game, but people still didn't like the game for whatever their reasons are.

If this idea of yours happened, then I wouldn't be interested in this at all.

The game is free, but you have to pay to play further in the game...?

No thanks.

Either make games free with the option to pay (Freemium games) or make games that require paying before playing (AAA games).

Don't make games free and then later force people to pay to progress further. This doesn't work in my opinion.

@TheRealJony

Yes if you play now from first. you wouldn't get all those cars

They made it so hard to collect blueprints....

i'm almost at the end of chapter 10..

Still now i can't figure how to get  612 PR car where it is maxed out.

Also in car series all levels are locked..i mean im at chapter 5 at many levels and all those levels requires increased PR Level in cars

its clear that i should Pay again to Money Arts

i hate this game

Seriously,they are thinking this is the only racing that is going to left behind in future

There are plenty of racing games to come in future ...so just stop being ridiculous and let us enjoy this game!

Peace.

Its simple - you need another car. Golf is ok, but Impreza is much better choice.

I have no idea how to get that much PR 

I've attached the cars that i've collected so far

if i collect other 8 blueprints or SRT viper GTS... Can i play with that car in chapter 10 ?

Also i don't have much storage points ? is there any way to increase them faster ?

I have 25,000 visual points...i don't use them...what should i do ? i don't do anything in mod shop

All levels in cars levels requires PR.

I'M JUST STUCK

Poor Tournament market 😛

No new items 😠

I cant play any of these levels now~

Correction

Both Tournament market & Black market sucks

@Stylehot5 That's true, but I don't see how you finding the game much later than me is any of my problem.

I found out about No Limits by keeping up with NFS news posted on Facebook. I also search NFS on Wikipedia from time to time to see if there's any NFS game mentioned that I didn't know about. (That's how I found out about NFS World was in its beta stages back in 2010.)

By keeping up to date with NFS news, I was able to play No Limits on its worldwide release date. (September 30, 2015)

It's not my fault you didn't find out the game on the worldwide release date like I did.

Farm for materials in Campaign and Tuner Trials, upgrade your cars, and eventually you'll be able to play Car Series events.

1. Farm blueprints for your cars, particularly your Classic Sports cars or Muscle cars.

How ???   I don't understand ..

Yes i hate the managers who make this gambling not the talented game designers...i will play it coz i've spended money on this game...

They don't have common sense ...making items in black market to be purchased with gold... why the hell they can't allow us to buy items & blueprints in chop shop with Gold or in game cash ?

I'm already playing Real Racing...it is not good as this game...still a fun game to play when we get bored.

Now i managed to move further in this game.

@TheRealJony  upcoming levels easier ?

@HeretikJirka  @TheRealJony

I have saved up lot of gold and would like to spend only on buying blueprints...

Black market is not showing new blueprints..is there anyway that i can purchase blueprints with gold ?

@Stylehot5 Instead of creating multiple posts in a row, please edit your post 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.

You should post for the second time only if you have to, like if you want to add more screenshots. (The max screenshots for each post is 3)

In short:

1. Edit your post if you are the last poster of a thread.

2. Make a new post if you are not the last poster of a thread.

Now, continuing with the discussion.

Alright, let me put this in another way.

2. Replay previous events in Campaign to get more materials, particularly to use them for your Classic Sports cars or Muscle cars.

You get it now?

Technically there's no way to buy blueprints with Gold, but you can use Gold to pick another reward card to get more blueprints when you won a race against a boss in Campaign.

Scrap points are your best bet to get more blueprints, although I recommend you to just play the bosses over and over again to get more blueprints in Campaign.

In the end, it's your call.

@Stylehot5 - have you realized you can replay an event in the Campaign to get more materials and blueprints? For every chapter there are 3-4 replayable races including the boss race at the end of each chapter. Normally you have 3 replays, which refreshes twice a day (that is 6 replays per 24 hours). This is what we call farming - you need a hundred blueprints to max out your cars stars, and more than two hundred for the best cars in the race! Considering you get a blueprint in about every fourth ride, that makes some effort. Yet I would recommend NOT to buy normal blueprints for gold, even when you are a spender. Use them for strategic refreshes and refills and for special event blueprints.

@TheRealJony @HeretikJirka Im just stuck on rep 54

all levels in car series locked..Campaign need rep 55

If they dont allow me to play then how come i can increase PR.??????/

f**k  this game...

im planning to uninstall

EA earned much in this game and working on to fool users on next game Need for speed Edge which has same concept,same graphics,lol

Be Aware People,EA No 1 gambling game developers,No 2 is Gameloft

Why not develop game and make it just paid 100$ and let us enjoy the game ?

If you want downloads..release a free version aswel and torture the users

I'm being vip in many games and many sites...no one treated like this...i just gave my money in wrong hands who use to take away and run

Sh***y customer care....they never reply to mail....shame on you EA

i dont like the idea of farming blueprints ..its boring as hell to play old levels..

@Stylehot5 Performance Rating (PR) and Rep have nothing related to each other.

You can customize your cars at any level. You just need to have sufficient In-Game Cash or Visual Points to purchase those upgrades.

To reach level 55, you'll have to play daily assignments every day to gain Rep and Gold.

NFS Edge does not have the same graphics as NFS No Limits. Not by a long shot.

NFS Edge will have WAY better graphics, powered by Frostbite 3 engine.

I'm interested in playing NFS Edge. I've been waiting for a MMO racing game ever since NFS World got permanently shut down.

Huh? 🤨

@TheRealJony

Are you serious ?

how do you say that they are not related ?

rep can be earned only in car series...and currently now it requires PR..

YOU MUST IMPROVE PR OF YOUR CARS TO PLAY IN CAR SERIES AND CAR SERIES IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN INCREASE THE REP !

Improving PR Is an nightmare...lol

NFS Edge is going to be different ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op62TNCejx4

Even the location looks same,Concept looks same,Also the Gambling...LMAO

100$ - too much ?

Do you even know how much EA Earned from this game

I've given 200$ and stiill not enjoying this game...i guess if i want to reach vip 10 i should pay more than 500$

Just make a pro version or something would be nice ...

Do you think whoever download the free version have this in their mobile for more than a day ? i guarantee you that 80% of the users would uninstalled as soon as they notice that this is a gambling game

Only few very few like you may have this in their device...

EA Guys.

@EA Team

If you feel like your bank account is full,Please develop a game that would entertain us..i love your game graphics

just looking for a game like NFS Run

A journey with awesome locations,fast cars...No requirements

@Stylehot5 - well, I would say PR and rep are weakly related. That is, usually higher PR of your best car means you have higher rep as well. But there may be exceptions. On the other hand, there is no direct link between those two. That is, when you get a rep raise, it does not affect your PR in any way. The same holds the other way round, when you up your PR, there is no associated rep change.

And now the hard truth: I am sorry to say that, but you don't get much far without repetitions. You don't have to drive them, you can use Easydrive or race skips, but you have to endure them somehow, otherwise you will be lacking resources you cannot buy for money. It may be boring, but it is how this game is designed.
