Talk:McLaren Mercedes MP4-25/@comment-34040565-20171221181336

I recently obtained the MP4/8 and MP4-25 in a car pack. I didn't want to spend money on this game and I never have previously. However, despite blueprints I figured I'd never ever aquire these vehicles otherwise. So I bit the bullet, puchased these vehicles and done. My questions are the following:

1. Do I upgrade this the same as most vehicles, focusing on top speed and nitro over suspension and exhuast? I suppose the configure would be 10/0/10/0 since there are upgraded differently than other vehicles. I currently own the Sagaris as well and recently purchased the Mercedes CLA 45 for MPE purposes. I was going to grind for the Mercedes AMG GT3 next for MPE purposes as well. I figured heck, new king coming or not, the Vulcan is at least obtainable with tokens versus Blueprints, so I took this opportunity while it was availabile. The TRION is also available for credits (many many credits). Anyway, as many have probably also noticed, it seems like if you are ahead in this game and able to do well in HEATs and other TLEs and MPEs, you are sitting pretty and keep reaping better rewards thus obtaining better rewards, etc. It seems if you are unable to reach top leaderboards, you are left in the dust. I hope my purchase was at least a somewhat wise one, as I can always purchase the Vulcan at a later date or perhaps save up enough tokens (as some surprisingly have) to purchase the vehicle. I would also be able to purchase the Mazda RX8 for class D events, however, the rewards seem bleak.

I was amazed to see the mid-tech card amounts rewarded to top leaderboard racers in particular events, and I'm pissed in that aspect. I'm sich of grinding my ass off for days to gt to the same point other racers are after a few purchase clicks.

The other question I have is how so many people seem to have dozens, if not HUNDRENDS of double tanks in their arsenal. I saw a video of one guy with 300 something tanks! There is no way these were obtained from rewards.. I just can't picture that. SO then of course comes me needing to potentially fork over more money for double tanks. Not to mention the fact its never over, ever. Now you need serial racing engines, custom racing engines, things that are never attainable it seems unless you put money into the game. I will never purchase random boxes but perhaps purchase an engine box or something like that. I think we all know the game knows what cards you need and doesn't give you those from boxes. I laughed when I saw two days in a row I could get 3x class B drivetrain cards when really I just needed 2 V8s for my sagaris to get to B1390. WHY WOULDN'T YOU SELL ME TWO CARDS OF WHAT I ACTUALLY NEED Greedloft!!! Your greed sticks out like a sore thumb.

On another note, I wish I had kept certain blueprints I thought were unnecessary like RX8 BPs. But alas, I've just recently learned how these events really work, such as the SLK 55 AMG SE event going on right now, where the top25 will actually win the car. I'll be in the top 2000, getting me 5 BPs away from the car, but I'm not going to muck around with trying to get in and and stay in the top25. I might as well buy the Vulcan now if that were the case.

I just want to get to a point in the game where I can reach Champion league, be competitive in events and have some more fun than this damn wall I've hit as of late. Hopefully I'm at least in a relatively decent spot now with the MP4/8, MP4-25, CLA 45 AMG, AMG GT3 (once purchased), two BPs away from the Holden, M2 BPs are half way, etc. THe one thing I am missing is a top class A vehicle, which would either be a Vulcan purchase shortly down the road or grinding for the TRION.

In any event, as I stated before, even IF you obtain these vehicles you are still at the mercy of trying to obtain the proper cards to pro these vehicles and thats where the neverending greedyness of gameloft erks the hell out of me. Granted, they are very clever, but it's downright develish. Apologies for the tremendously long post, but comments are highly welcome.
