https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKtG6CmJfUg Speedhunters is coming to Need For Speed No Limits in a brand new in-game special event. Join Dino Dalle Carbonare in rebuilding a Nissan Skyline BNR34 GTR, and winning a special JDM tournament in Blackridge! not much more info besides this 🙂 hopefully this means this is a step towards vinyl customization but who really knows :D

I am very unhayppy with this event. I joined the game shortly before the "2nd "La Ferrari" event and got all BP´s. These events have been fair - I was able to finish them without spending a lot of gold. But this Speedhunter blackridge event was designed to rip off the players. You have to invest a lot of gold to finish it (I have spent about 700 gold so far and I am @ Day 5 /12). It is not possible (in my opinion) to finish it without spending gold. If the next event will be designed the same way I will not invest one coin of gold. The most important question is: Will there be more (and fair) events for the "Event cars" (like "La Ferrari" or the GT-R BNR34) to level it up? Why should I spend tons of gold to have a car which I cannot use because they have a low level? Firemonkey Team - you have to make things better otherwise you will get tons of bad critics. Hopefully, Michael

@scottfollett: Please read my posts in this thread again but this time more accurately please. Then you will see that all of your reproaches are not applicable for me - and I am assured also not for the most other players who wrote here in this thread. Perhaps it was possible for only a few players to get the BNR34 without spending gold but only if - they were racing 20hours a day - looking in the SE Market EVERY hour (the materials changed every hour) - had enough luck to get all the missing upgrades in the surplus races - they have been informed before the Event started that they will need 668 PR in the final race - they have been informed which and how many materials / kits they will need to upgrade their car to 668 PR - they had the incredibly luck to get the needed parts EVERY time in the surplus races - they had the incredibly luck to get the highest amount of cash EVERY time in the surplus races Due to the reason that there was none of these informations published before this new kind of special event it was impossible for me and a lot of other players. And trust me - I have made 99% of the possible races, starting racing at 7 o´clock in the morning (in my country the racing day started at 7 o´clock), made the other races all over the day and made my last race after midnight. I bought no parts and no BP´s but invested all my earned cash in buying materials I needed. But this was NOT enough to pimp my car to the required level. As I have said before I have lost only a very few races but I bought (I think two times) new tickets - so loosing a very few races (less than 5 all over the event) should make no sense.

Cause I only got 50 gold, and the very first time trial of this special event I finished with 3 seconds to spare, and the nitro rush with just a single second to spare. And I also didn't crash or drive into cars either. So I do hope this gets fixed, because every special event so far has had that problem, and it's starting to get annoying. Even the last special event(which was for the LaFerrari if I'm not mistaken), i had all 3 required cars maxed out, yet I still had only few seconds to spare on time trials and nitro rushes. The Speedhunters special event Time Trials and Nitro Rushes aren't really too hard. In fact, they're too easy. I have over 6,000 Gold and I'm preparing to spend quite a handful of it on buying Nissan Skyline BNR34 blueprints. Using Gold to skip a race is a waste. So the problem isn't with the races. I don't mean to be blunt, but the problem is you. You just need to get better. Here's some tips to win the Speedhunters special event Time Trials and Nitro Rushes: 1. Keep your speed high at all costs. 2. Drift very slightly to maintain speed. Drift at a wide angle and you'll lose speed. 3. Avoid collisions. (you already do this)

True story. 😉 I always win no Gold from Tournaments because I would much rather take out my opponents for $500. lol I'm pretty sure the majority of people had spent their Gold on a second or third flip of the reward cards after a race. (Each second flip costs 30 Gold and I don't know the price of the third flip) I NEVER EVER spent any Gold on the second flip and third flip because I know this is a way Firemonkeys make money off of impatient people. I'm a very patient person so this tactic doesn't work on me. Since this is a discussion about Speedhunter special event, I feel like bragging. I wrecked Garry (and earned $500 in the process)! 👿

Hopefully, Michael Me the same - the event is not fair... again. I spent more than 1500 gold collected due to hard and long work on the NFS NL and it is a waist. I'm on day 5, event 11. To get the Nissan and enter the Event 17 you need to have 668 PR - impossible without spending a lot of gold. "Thank you" EA/Firemonkyes for ripping me off... again! ;/

I was about ask kind of the same question, that am I the only one missing out on something here, because the trailer in google play (not sure if on apple store too, cause I dont own any apple products) promotes different custom liveries and wraps for different cars and such, yet I haven't seen a single option for such things ever since the game launched

i have noticed they've increased the gold cost to refresh the replay events in the underground, it used to be 20 gold for boss races and 10 gold for the others but they are all 50 gold now, tuner trial refresh is still 30 tho

Not me. 😉

I'm ready for whatever the game throws at me. I have over 6,000 Gold prepared for special event items (particularly blueprints from previous loaned car special events).

I have iPod Touch 5th generation and there's no Vinyl option in Modshop right now.

I've been playing No Limits since September 30, 2015 (worldwide launch).

I think the "email" is for limited-time events mentioned in the new update, meaning we can get rare blueprints, rep, and fuel for completing these limited-time events.

Well, I don't have the same mobile device as you. I have an iPod Touch 5th generation and I can play No Limits after updating just fine.
