Gameloft's new way to cheat customer - Asphalt 8 blueprint update.


I was very disappointed about how Gameloft update the game--last year, I think. So I didn't play like a year.

Recently I wasn't very interest to watch movie--which is one of my favourite thing, in my free time. So I'd like to try something else and I decided to try Asphalt 8 again.


Back to Asphalt 8.

I have quite number of cars so I can enjoy some TLE(Time-Limited Event) and MP(Multiplayer). And I can find quite number of new things like Blueprint, Porsche, new map-Patagonia and among other things.

It wasn't easy to familiar with Patagonia map because I don't have new car to try that in career mode or mastery challenge. So I had to do playing so long time in MP because in MP, I can choose the map.


Not bad, I thought.

Doing TLE, I don't have C, B, A and S class king anymore. I don't mind playing with second or third best car. So that's fine.
Actually I was quite surprised that D class king is Mazda RX8.

So at least, I don't have to buy other D class cars and upgrade it--which required credits farming for several hours--doing same thing over, over, , , , , , and over which makes me feel boring.


Anyway, I don't really try to get the cars I don't own because I don't want to do that credits farming.
But I do enjoy playing in multiplayer league(even in free race) so I thought about get good multiplayer cars.
I have some but it was lower rank car so it takes long time to finish the race.

So I try to learn about this Blueprint thing.



Asphalt 8 Exclusive deal.

Here is exclusive deal:
screenshot - Asphalt 8 Exclusive Deals

Exclusive deals.. It sounds very nice, right?
So even Asphalt 8 wikia said like this:
screenshot - Exclusive Deals | Asphalt Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia
in addition to massive price drops in offers' prices, partially due to players' complaints.
- source FANDOM powered by Wikia website - Exclusive Deals | Asphalt Wiki

Massive price drop.
Why they can do massive price drop? It was extremely expensive in first place, right?

Some of items, it was slightly discounted for sure.

As you can see first photo, 5 of Extra Tank for 560 tokens. One extra tank price was 200 tokens. So it was really great price.



But not so fast....

See this Blueprint price. Just one Porsche 959 BP, Porsche Cayman GT4 BP for 150 tokens.

According to the Wikia website's Porsche 959 page:
The Porsche 959 costs 1,100 tokens to purchase, according to the game's internal data. Otherwise, the car must be assembled with 14 Porsche 959 BP cards.
....
For a limited time, it is possible to purchase Porsche 959 Full BP Pack, which contains all 14 Blueprints required to build the 959, at cost of 1,600 tokens, 500 tokens higher than the hidden purchase price.

You can even ignore game's internal data. Gameloft offered 1,600 tokens to 14 blueprints. So about 114.28 tokens for one bp card.
But this exclusive deal sell the car for 2,100 tokens. So this is 500 tokens higher than the limited time offer which is 500 tokens higher than game's internal data.


According to the Wikia website's Porsche Cayman GT4 page:
According to the game's internal data, the Porsche Cayman GT4 costs 2,500 tokens to purchase. To obtain normally, the car must be assembled after collecting 35 Common Porsche Cayman GT4 BP cards.

Unfortunately, this car don't have information like Porsche 959.
One bp card costs 150 tokens. This car need 35 cards to assembled car. So it will cost 5,250 tokens.

As you can see, Gameloft really try to sell twice the original price.

But what you have to know is that this original price was higher than previous cars and they don't perform better than that price.


Their car price was sky-rocketed--because every update, Gameloft did double and triple the cars and earn credits or tokens were not really increased.



Hide price and secretly double or triple the price.

You probably don't believe me. So I will show one more evidence.

I've got other special offer--this one actually made me realised all this.

screenshot - Asphalt 8 Special Offer: Mosler Super GT BP
Grants 10 cards. 1 will be a Blueprint card for the Mosler Super GT!

Special Offer: Mosler Super GT BP for 1,850 tokens. I remember the some blueprints box so I searched it in Asphalt 8 wikia websites.
According to the Wikia website's Pro Boxes page:
Racer Construction Box - Grants 5 random Blueprint cards for 1,100 tokens.
Expert Construction Box - Grants 10 random Blueprint cards for 2,225 tokens.

Expert Construction Box cost 2,225 tokens so it was good price, I thought.
When I tried to upload this screen shot to that wikia website's Pro Boxes page, I found this explanation: Grants 10 cards. 1 will be a Blueprint card for the Mosler Super GT!
I was like 'what?'

10 random cards box costs for 1,850 tokens? If I want to spend that token, I will buy two of champion kit box which I will get 60 cards.

Again, I checked price from Wikia.

According to the Wikia website's Mosler Super GT page:
The Mosler Super GT has a buying price of 14,000 tokens. As of the Car Blueprints Update, the Mosler Super GT can be crafted after obtaining 18 Mosler Super GT BP cards.

This car previously sell with token. So I can exactly calculate. 18 blueprint cards for 14,000 tokens. So one blueprint card costs 777.7778 tokens.

That means 1,072 tokens for other 9 random cards. Champion kit box is 30 cards with at least 10 will be rare or legendry box only cost 950 tokens. Expert Kit box is 8 random cards and it only cost 200 tokens.



Here is the someone commented in Wikia website's Car Blueprints Update page:
After this update many cars that can be obtained by tokens or from events like EDD/R&D has been made into bp cars. So now let's say the Fenyr needs 14k tokens to buy when offer for a limited time. But now it's 20 legendary bps which means 20x2250=45000 tokens. Lol the price is more than tripled. Also if you are not very lucky then you can never get any legendary bps from credits boxes. So those cars has been made almost impossible to get.
12 days ago by A FANDOM user


What I see is... Gameloft make this blueprint for hide price so nobody knew exact price. And then secretly double and triple the price for saying 'Exclusive Deal', 'Great Deal', 'Special Offer'.
It actually means double and triple price deal.


I strongly suggest to check the Asphalt 8 wikia website before you buy those deals.

Asphalt 8 20th, the last tryout of Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid Enduro Double Down challenge list


Based on previous EDD and other information from Asphalt 8 Wikia page
--like Enduro Double Down Challenges and Enduro Double Down/Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid page.

Difficulty will increase after player collected 7,000 points and one more time after collected 20,000 points.

So if player did the double until 23 ace race in Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid EDD, after collected 7,000 points player should double until 17 ace race.
And once again, if player did the double until 17 ace race, after collected 20,000 points player should double until 7 ace race (not 12 ace race).
So player should prepare for the difficulty changes.
Or player should upgrade enough to do the desire ace race.



Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid twentieth, the last EDD(Enduro Double Down) invitation.
I will write down like involved car, map, requirement, ghost racer(AI car)'s finish time. And then if there has recommended rank, I selected that challenge.


Collected points:
  • Previously collected 59,410 points.
  • Save point at challenge 12. Quit at challenge 13.
  • Total: 60,000+ points
* Previous-11th tryout (at challenge 17), I did upgrade bit more because I will not be able to play last 2+ days. So I have to get more points.
So if you play like me, you probably can win the car with upgrade like 1612 (max 1202, pro 5253, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4).



Spent tokens:
  • 12th tryout - challenge 4: 60 tokens for auto-pass
  • 13th tryout - challenge 15: 100 tokens for auto-pass, challenge 16: 100 tokens for auto-pass.
  • 14th tryout - challenge 10: 75 tokens for auto-pass, challenge 16: 100 tokens for auto-pass
  • 15th tryout - challenge 1: 25 tokens because misclicked reroll button.
  • 17th tryout - challenge 7 ace race, 120 tokens elite tune up for 40+ minutes because I can't play for 1+ days.
  • Total: 580 tokens

* I will not spend any token this time. Because I spent a lot in previous R&D, EDD about more than 1,300 tokens for each.

* I will not be able to play last 2+ days, 1+ days. So I did spend token after 13th tryout.


Car status:
  • Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid upgrade status: 1647 (max 2302, pro 5255, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4) from 1612 (max 1202, pro 5253, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4)
  • fully maxed and proed it
    • Lotus Exige S Coupe
    • Felino cB7
    • BMW M6
    • Marussia B2
    • Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning
  • not fully upgraded cars
    • Mazda Furai: R1524 (max 5555, pro 5054)
    • Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition: R1484 (max 3333 pro 4452)
    • Hennessey Venom GT: R1701 (max 3533, pro 3252)



Ace race isn't the problem - based on previous EDD(Aston Martin One-77) and I failed 6 times on ace race but I failed 13 times on not ace race.

And BXR Bailey Blade GT1, I failed so much on early challenges because of crazy fast car rank of 1540 BXR Bailey Blade GT1.
You can read details:



Anyway, I have bunch of V12 engine cards so I upgraded like that. I am not thinking about win the car.
So I will not thinking about to get the car because very bad experience on previous EDD.
So I will just play for fun.




Calculation for win the car.

* This is previous--7th and 8th tryout's calculation.

screenshot - Asphalt8 Vulcano EDD 7th tryout status
I already had all the involved cars with well-upgraded except Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition.
And I accidentally upgraded a lot for Vulcano because I had 25+ of V12 engine cards.
So I collected quite high points in the beginning. So I am thinking that I probably can win the car.

You can see the screenshot which is starting status of 7th tryout.
I collected 27,220 points.
If I wanted to win the car, I need 32,780 points more.
And remaining days are 6. And three EDD invitation tickets per day.
So I will get 18 more tickets.

32,780 points / 18 tickets = 1,821.11 points per ticket.

And 6th tryout, I did it until challenge 12 which I can get 2,630 points.
So if I kept playing like that, I will win the car.

Finally, I've got the car.


And Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid's season 9 race is San Diego Harbor. So it probably wasn't bad for farming credits.
And mastery challenge rewards are 45 licenses, 150 tokens in challenge 5 and one of champion kit box (30 cards) in challenge 10.



So here is the screenshot of mastery challenge:

Drifting wrong way so crashed.


I still have enough tickets so 'back to challenge 1'.
Time wasn't enough, not because of remain time. Because elite tune up will take so much time.

Will write it.

Asphalt 8 17th tryout of Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid Enduro Double Down challenge list


Based on previous EDD and other information from Asphalt 8 Wikia page
--like Enduro Double Down Challenges and Enduro Double Down/Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid page.

Difficulty will increase after player collected 7,000 points and one more time after collected 20,000 points.

So if player did the double until 23 ace race in Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid EDD, after collected 7,000 points player should double until 17 ace race.
And once again, if player did the double until 17 ace race, after collected 20,000 points player should double until 7 ace race (not 12 ace race).
So player should prepare for the difficulty changes.
Or player should upgrade enough to do the desire ace race.



Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid seventeenth EDD(Enduro Double Down) invitation.
I will write down like involved car, map, requirement, ghost racer(AI car)'s finish time. And then if there has recommended rank, I selected that challenge.


Collected points:
  • Previously collected 53,085 points.
  • Save point at challenge 12 and challenge 17. Quit at challenge 18.
  • Total: 56,780 points
* Previous-11th tryout (at challenge 17), I did upgrade bit more because I will not be able to play last 2+ days. So I have to get more points.
So if you play like me, you probably can win the car with upgrade like 1612 (max 1202, pro 5253, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4).



Spent tokens:
  • 12th tryout - challenge 4: 60 tokens for auto-pass
  • 13th tryout - challenge 15: 100 tokens for auto-pass, challenge 16: 100 tokens for auto-pass.
  • 14th tryout - challenge 10: 75 tokens for auto-pass, challenge 16: 100 tokens for auto-pass
  • 15th tryout - challenge 1: 25 tokens because misclicked reroll button.
  • challenge 7 ace race, 120 tokens elite tune up for 40+ minutes because I can't play for 1+ days.
  • Total: 580 tokens

* I will not spend any token this time. Because I spent a lot in previous R&D, EDD about more than 1,300 tokens for each.

* I will not be able to play last 2+ days, 1+ days. So I did spend token after 13th tryout.


Car status:
  • Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid upgrade status: 1647 (max 2302, pro 5255, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4) from 1612 (max 1202, pro 5253, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4)
  • fully maxed and proed it
    • Lotus Exige S Coupe
    • Felino cB7
    • BMW M6
    • Marussia B2
    • Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning
  • not fully upgraded cars
    • Mazda Furai: R1524 (max 5555, pro 5054)
    • Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition: R1484 (max 3333 pro 4452)
    • Hennessey Venom GT: R1701 (max 3533, pro 3252)



Ace race isn't the problem - based on previous EDD(Aston Martin One-77) and I failed 6 times on ace race but I failed 13 times on not ace race.

And BXR Bailey Blade GT1, I failed so much on early challenges because of crazy fast car rank of 1540 BXR Bailey Blade GT1.
You can read details:



Anyway, I have bunch of V12 engine cards so I upgraded like that. I am not thinking about win the car.
So I will not thinking about to get the car because very bad experience on previous EDD.
So I will just play for fun.




Calculation for win the car.

* This is previous--7th and 8th tryout's calculation.

screenshot - Asphalt8 Vulcano EDD 7th tryout status
I already had all the involved cars with well-upgraded except Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition.
And I accidentally upgraded a lot for Vulcano because I had 25+ of V12 engine cards.
So I collected quite high points in the beginning. So I am thinking that I probably can win the car.

You can see the screenshot which is starting status of 7th tryout.
I collected 27,220 points.
If I wanted to win the car, I need 32,780 points more.
And remaining days are 6. And three EDD invitation tickets per day.
So I will get 18 more tickets.

32,780 points / 18 tickets = 1,821.11 points per ticket.

And 6th tryout, I did it until challenge 12 which I can get 2,630 points.
So if I kept playing like that, I will win the car.
