Re: Nürburgring lap times

The works LP640 (Murcielago) seems to be the fastest overall car. I got a 5:56.8 with it, and the really fast guys are just under 5:45. This is on the PC version. It's possible that the PC system a player has is having some effect on the game and the lap times you get. Shift 1 had a similar issue. Y...

Re: Drift help!!!!

The Drift Alliance 240SX is actually pretty good for the Togue drift event, because it's so slow. If you're using an analog controller, you need to use partial throttle, about 1/3rd throttle to drift with the 240SX because it has very little grip, despite also not having much power.

Re: ProStreet PC Servers shutting down April 15?

I never liked the way they did the online menu system in ProStreet or Carbon, since there's no way to tell if or how many other players are online. Most Wanted was the last NFS game to have a proper online menu, where you could look at a list of rooms and know how many players were online. The issue...

rep versus level table

The table below includes the amount of rep per level, the total rep to reach a level, the amount of rep won for a short (15 second) pursuit, the number of short pursuits per level, and the total number of short pursuits to reach a level (ignoring any lucky draw cards for rep). This gives some idea o...

Still though, with an MMO. The issue here is that NFS World is an online racing game, not an MMO.

There have always been dominant cars in every NFS game, and also most racing games, so why should NFS World be any different. For example, in Underground 2, the Corolla, a starter car, is the dominant grip car, holding the top 50 time at every circuit, sprint, streetx, and url event at u2.wrecords.c...

Anyway, what do you mean by performance boost because of a bug? Higher top speed? acceleration? handling? Not sure, since I don't do multiplayer.

You need to use a lot of nitrous with the BMW, but it holds all the lap records at nfs-s stats. However there is a bug in multi-player mode where the lead car gets a performance advantage, and because the Silvia gets a better perfect launch, it's possible for a Silvia to get into the lead, and then ...

There may be an issue in NFS World and run times. I'm not sure if this affects both single player mode as well as multi-player mode.

I didn't know Charger was that bad. The Special Edition Charger in the Betas was much better than the street upgraded Charger now. Top speed was 143 mph, versus the current 128 mph, it had much more acceleration and a bit better grip. A video of it at Lincoln Blvd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR...

Unless the new cars are faster than the current cars, I don't see many players getting the new cars.
