Hey Gameloft.
It feels awkward seeing two of my posts in a row, but I was just looking through the garage and I noticed the extreme scarcity of some of the cars, such as the list below:
1) Bugatti Chiron - nobody has driven this car, with the exception of the Paris Motor Show event, because that was popular and gave us a few sneak peeks at what the Chiron can do. There have been ZERO events, and the blueprints cannot be found in career, making some of the higher-tier S Class seasons that much harder.
2) Koenigsegg Regera - okay, so a FEW blueprints were given out in the Egoista and Corvette encores, which REQUIRED THE TWO ALREADY SCARCE CARS TO EVEN PLAY. Even if you got ALL the Solo rewards in BOTH of those events, and you got in the top 1% of both of them, you got (I think) ten to twenty blueprints of the required sixty. I have seen absurd, and I have seen purple Pinocchio bludgeoning a dead fish absurd, but this? This takes the absurdity cake. The Corvette and Egoista are both cars I have very few blueprints for. (1 for Egoista and 0 for Corvette.) And I had to fully upgrade them, race them flawlessly, and perform all the required feats to get a PORTION of the blueprints to get the car?
3) Lamborghini Terzo Millenio - Yes, yes, we drove the car in the #legendarytrip event, but that makes it just like the Chiron. You drove it? Cool. So did everyone who downloaded the game at that time. Blueprints are nonexistent.
4) W Motors Fenyr Supersport - I know. Not as rare as the others in this list. You can earn blueprints by getting lucky in a high-tier multiplayer league, and by reaching the top of the leaderboard. But not everyone reaches the mountaintop, and if you DO, then you have to defend your crown and earnings from the bajillions of other players who want the exact same thing. I've been playing Asphalt 9 since (before, admittedly) the soft launch, and have consistently been able to place in the top 5 to 10% of players, and I have only gotten 7 blueprints for the Fenyr.
5) Countdown cars (Egoista, Corvette, Huayra BC, Porsche 918, Acura NSX, should I go on? - These cars are borderline impossible for players like me (free-to-play, has a life, goes to school, and gets a solid amount of sleep and food.) The big thing here is the free-to-play part. I understand that you made the game free-to-play, and that you guys need money to eat and live, but there's a better way to get people to spend money on your game than to tease them with a hype-inducing countdown to the car's pack release with events that can help people afford a FEW of the packs *INHALE* and then make the blueprints so rare in those packs that they never get the car they're looking for, leaving them to have to purchase the special offers or tokens to try and get the car. Not cool. Makes some of us *raises hand* feel like the game is rigged against us.
I have a solution to this. I have no problem with the whole special offers idea, but there needs to be a way for people to earn things like a W Motors Fenyr and a Koenigsegg Regera without having to compete with Asphalt titans like Feurrm and TheHawtDawg1, as well as members of RpM and Fenix. The free trial of the Chiron and Terzo were cool, and I think you could build upon that. Make their blueprints more available (LTEs that occur just like for the Rezvani, Cadillac, VLF, and Trion, making each week a new featured car, and each week is set on rotation, so it would go
Rezvani Beast X
Acura NSX
Cadillac Cien Concept
Maserati Alfieri
VLF Force 1 V10
McLaren 570s Spyder
Trion Nemesis
Genty Akylone
W Motors Fenyr Supersport
Lamborghini Aventador SV
Lamborghini Terzo Millenio
Porsche 918
Koenigsegg Regera
Koenigsegg Agera RS (seriously. get. this. in.)
Pagani Huayra BC
Bugatti Chiron (once every two months)
This would resolve a lot of problems with people's progress, and would be a great leap forward in Asphalt 9's development. You could offer special deals for the car after each event, whether it be directly through IAPs or indirectly through card packs (for those F2Ps who got 3 fewer BPs than required to get the car cuz thats the most annoying feeling in this game.
SINCERELY, *gasp*

Seriously. Koenigsegg Agera RS. people want the thing. People should get the thing.
