Asphalt 8 - Update 33 - Showdown Update

My Audi RSE pass from 1453 to 1466!!!!

Pizza,s repost said " join us and the game Producer"  I would love to rip into that person ! I might download the discord app just for the opportunity to SUPERNOVA on that clown !

Lol...go ahead and do it...

But well, since they decided to release this without consulting any of the player base, I think it's fair to say that this is just a big show for them to point their middle fingers at all players...lol

@ pete   gonna need some help to join discord server !  Can I install same day then  uninstall after I go SUPERNOVA on producer !

Two new events in TLE.
Showdown Multiplayer Cup + Showdown Single Player Cup. Update not out for me so can't get in.

"...there is a new game mode coming to Asphalt 8 very soon. It will be available only in the TLE section for now. Will it become a more permanent fixture of the game? It is up to you to decide. It's called Showdown Mode."

"The most important thing right now is that we are counting on your feedback to develop this feature with you. So join us and the game's producer next week when we will be holding a feedback session on the new Asphalt 8 Discord server. There, fans will be able to write their opinions and ask any questions they have."


Feedback Session: June 24th, 3 PM GMT

what to expect from a feedback session on dumb Discord, this "new" place is a useless playground from trolls and noobs which have more time to spend chatting than playing the game, what do you seriously expect from this ?

already sounds like the bike survey from last year "...yeah bikes are alright everybody likes them ! no problem has been reported from their behaving and blabla... " was the supposedly result of a "global" online survey

so there's nothing to expect of this feedback session, they'll eventually have a laugh of what the Clown Managers will report to the Team from this but they'll sure keep doing as they please
I won't be surprised if they extend this new crap to the whole game after this joke session

Agreed.

Btw ...did my due diligence reading up on Discord  
Came to the conclusion its in my best interest to discard Discord.all together.

OK, Having taken all my screenshots, and having nothing to lose except everything I own, I applied the update. Here’s the minimal stuff I’ve seen so far:

Everything seems to be accounted for. Still have all my cars, blueprints, boxes, pro cards, upgrades, boosts, etc...

The new booster/upgrade inventory page is funny. I discovered I have free upgrades for specific cars; that, I never used. (x1 - RX8SE and x5 - RIMAC Concept S) Both cars are max/pro, but I never knew I had them. I got a chuckle. I can fuse them if I click on them 6,250 for the 5 RIMAC upgrades and 1,000 for the RX8SE. Haven’t done it yet because the novelty of seeing those upgrades on the page hasn’t worn off yet.

Showdown is in the TLEs as promised. There is an MP event and a single player event. 2 fuels to play one. Haven’t opened it yet; so, no feedback on it.

D and C ranks changed as promised. Don’t hold me to this, but most cars I glanced at went up as expected. I’ll have to compare screenshots for my cars to get exact values.

Exclusive Deals has some (possibly all) the restricted BPs. Just bought a 720S BP for 900 tokens. Dunno, if I’ll keep that up because I still need 35 more and that would be nuts, but I bought 1 to see what would happen. The purchase went through just fine and I was credited with the BP. Side note. Initially, EDs showed that I had 0/45 BPs for the 720S. I freaked and checked inventory and they were still there. I restarted the app and EDs displayed the correct number.

The pre-update TLE progress is fine. All the events I’ve run show the same times and in the case of the sprint I still have full credit for my trophies.

That’s all for now with a quick look. Will post more as I actually play some races...

Not now 4 sure

Showdown Mode is here!
