Timers are important gameplay elements in the Asphalt games. They control refresh rates of limited offers and limit the durations of periodical events.
Timers can be categorized by the triggers that reset them:
- a certain UTC time
- a certain device time, i. e. the player's local time displayed on the gaming device, including daylight saving time
- a specific action by the player
The Asphalt games usually contain a mixture of all three types which can be confusing. The following overview shows the different timers with their durations and reset triggers.
