Re: Why 3 repair limit ???

Indeed the 3 repair system is just not good, i like the repair system in Rivals, and the cops ??? man the cops are way overpowered compare to Rivals at least in rivals you can outrun them but in heat past lvl 2 the game is over. I hop this won't end up like Anthem

    Niether one of you has probably gotten your car to higher than 220 score. At that point you outrun heat 2 cops and they don't really damage you all that much. Then if you get to 300+, nothing can actually catch up to you, they can kind of keep their distance, but the moment you start cutting corners real smooth like or going over 200 mph they lose you. Its incredibly easy, even the corvettes don't catch up, I haven't gotten anything higher than the corvettes despite getting all the way up to heat 5, cause even at heat 5 it doesn't matter as long as a cop doesn't see you.

    Trust me, at first I thought the cops were op, but they are far from it once you have built a good car. As it should be. The repair limit is justifiable so that you are not just suriving endlessly against cops pressure, there has to be a limit on how much you can take and it makes you more careful. Just get your car(s) up, and you'll see how easy it can be. As long as you know how to drive ofcourse.

  • @taladays Im with you man. At first I thought the cops were OP to the max, but i was reluctant to complain about it publicly after all the complaints about cops being too easy previously. However, when I got my hands on a 335 level Corvette everything changed. I've now found the best way of leveling up is actually during races at night. The cops are much easier to lose during the race and once the race is over, don't stick around, get out of dodge. Same goes during any pursuit. If you're in a chase in downtown, head to the port. If you hang around a certain area during a chase, the cops are gunna clamp you down. The most helpful thing I've found is damage reduction in the passive auxilary. That has been a god send, keeps me in the game longer.

    I already refunded the game.

    Plus the game has a serious memory leak, i saw it was using 18GB of RAM at some point...

  • @taladays That's what I'm saying. All these people trying to get to heat 5 with a car under level 200 or are just bad drivers. I outrun cops on heat 5 with a 250 car.

    Rivals system was fair. heat system is broken. I basically keep getting busted because my car dies within 4 hits. Yes my car isn't very fast, but if i keep getting busted how the hell am i supposed to level up???

    Day races are fine, night races are a total mess when cops arrives. In Rivals i had no problem fighting off cops, because we had tech to deal them. In this game you have no tech, and you take damage regardless of them hitting your or the other way around. They need to go back to the drawing board. In fact payback is even a more enjoyable game, than this pile of garbage.

    I consider Rivals as one of the better NFS, sure the game was buggy, but when it worked, the game was a blast to play !

    @DeadPhoenix86 I agree with you 100% but still the system they put in this game is not going very good and like i said i hate Rivals because of the same reason i am starting to hate Heat 1st is the health bar and second are the damn cops. This game is a total mess and its going to end up like Anthem.

    @HowlingBeast Even when A Rhino tries to hit you at full speed coming from the other directions? Every 2 minutes?

    You can't outrun them because they spawn either in front of you or just ram you from whatever angle they can. Let's say you can outrun them for 5 minutes. That, I can believe, but you can't keep outrunning them, that's why only 3 repairs. So you have to bail out at some point.

    @DeadPhoenix86 RIVALS SYSTEM WAS EVERYTHING BUT DEFINITELY NOT FAIR. I just remember how racers were doing donuts in gas stations and were invincible.

    @WhiteFoxie001 I don‘t think the rhinos are too hard. In the city you have plenty of options to avoid them. Just take the next turn and in the mountains (which is more dangerous when you got a street tuned car) is driving off the road. The rhinos are in NFS to destroy your plans. You need to think fast and re-route like a GPS :D (same in NFSMW 2005).

    The appearing right in front of you is something I already mentioned in the „Bug Reports“ forum. I totally agree with you there. That is just a performance problem of the game.

    @HowlingBeast Actually, you are right. The times I got hit were always on straight roads, mostly the interconnecting highways. It's best to just hit the brakes and make a (or try to make) a U turn in that situation. Damn siderails!! 😉

    Now that I'm rep 50, the game seems so easy.
    Where as between rep 30's and early 40's it seemed hard as nails.

    They really haven't take enough time to think things trough when developing this night modus it seems.

    Have no idea why ppl is complaning about the cops being so hard the community wants a game where the cops are able to catch up to you and when ghost games delivers it the community starts to say like omg its waay to hard nerf them!like seriously what u want ghost games to do ?revert the cops to 2015 style speed ?that would be too boring nfs heat actually helps me on making strategy on evading the cops and i am totally enjoying the pursuit during night and heat lvl 5 is aint a problem for me and for limited repairs i am gonna complain about this and heres why

    1. The physics:i wonder just how many time the game physics have * me around and just gos crazy on me and cause some serious damage to my car and i had to repair it cause my car suffered alot of damage from the physic on the Game being super *

    2. The npc cars:i would say theres no way your car would take damage from just scratching a npc car!YES JUST SLIGHTLY TAPPING THE SIDE OF THE NPC CAR WILL DROP UR CAR DAMAGE!(even though it drops a bit but still)and funny thing is going full speed and hitting the back of a npc car is fine,your car wont even take any damage from it 

    Conclusion:limited repairs is fine but the car health needs some rework and the physics of the game needs some rework as well cause i wonder how many times the game * me around with the physics
