Talk:Fifth Anniversary Update/@comment-36964579-20180920081057

First of all, no general GL bashing from me. A8 is a great game, constantly updated, and it’s basically for FREE. I spent some Euros on it (VIP level 3), but not to make progress, only to show my support.

Now for the MP system:

With the old system, I mainly used my MP-tuned Porsche 959. Usually made 1,800+ with no big effort or skill, but couldn’t get much higher because of the ARSEs (introducing the ARSE with its ridiculous stats was a great mistake, and GL knows it). 95 % of the MP races were boring. I used to let my little kids finish those races for me.

With the new matchmaking, I had tons of fun. Sometimes I raced almost wheel-to-wheel for two laps. I used my MP4/8 a lot, but also spent thousands of tokens, millions of credits and lots of valuable cards on buying and upgrading other MP cars like Ariel Atom, Trion Nemesis and Shelby Cobra. Didn’t go for the Carrera GT because I thought it would be useless! Struggled a bit to finish above 1,800 in the end, but was looking forward to attack CL. Obviously there was some issue with gaining and losing points, but that could have been fixed easily.

So now it’s back to boring because some of the old players complained? All those tokens, credits and cards wasted?

As a compromise, how about alternating the matchmaking from season to season?

PS: I don’t like A9 at all, not even the graphics.
