What to do when out of fuel and no credits?

[tbytz]

Races are bugged and not rewarding correct credits, used the last of my credits to refuel and bug caused my tank to remain empty, now what?

[tbytz]

NVM found a sprint race and managed to get enough to refuel and it seems to be working now.

[GodMe]

Excuse me what? Are you telling me you need to buy fuel to play the game?

People are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the devs for 6 paywalled cars out of 100 but nobody is talking about the fact this game has the worst form of mobile game mechanics implemented?

I really need to know a single idea of how a game could benefit from a mechanic like this? A mechanic you can't evade but adds nothing of value to the game? I'd assume you can buy fuel for real money? Or at least buy ingame credits with real money that you can buy fuel with?

Is there a timer running for when you get new fuel or are you basically hardstuck now?

I'm speechless lmao.

That's like having to buy ammo in the main menu to play battlefield.

You can try to make a delivery and make some cash, each delivery 3,5k

[MercyGG]

Didn't happen to me and I buy the sport fuel every time, can't help with this. Try to do delivery though.

The fuel is adding to the realism lol, you can obviously get it normally, I haven't seen any microtransactions in-game. You could do car or parts delivery, that awards cash and for that you can refuel your car. Also having more cars prevents this problem, as each car has its own tank for gas.

the delux car pack is a microtransaction, there is an alt currency that you cant buy (yet lmao id put my bottom dollar on them making it so you can buy it soon) and some parts can only be bought with the premium currency (the backfire effect being one of them for your exhaust)

buying fuel wouldnt be an issue.. if it was reasonably priced, 5+grand for a tank of gas? how about no, 2-500 creds. also if you think thats bad look at the prices for tires! 30 grand for a set of racing slicks? not to mention im stuck on drift and sprint races where you need to be frame perfect to hit first place on those, no new streetraces were unlocked after the second one and the cars understeer really bad, like to the point your not making a turn unless you slow down to parkinglot speeds

Deluxe pack is a DLC, not a microtransaction. There's a difference. I don't know about you but I started the game with 100k. Online races with players earn better money than doing campaign so money really isn't an issue, granted if you want the best tires and you don't earn enough money yet, it's obvious you will go bankrupt. There's a thing called money management. Also one tank lasts pretty long time so I don't understand how you managed already to get into such situation.

[FuriousDevi]

My guess is they put fuel in the game to make more simulation like and also to increase permanent cost aka making money valueable.

Damn sounds like this whole buying, maintaining and racing a high performance car is expensive? :(

spending 2 bucks on 6 "deluxe" cars is a microtransaction, its not a dlc, its not something like a map expansion, if you want to get into semantics all Microtransactions are DLC, though in this case its not even DLC you dont download the content its just cut out from the base game to make you pay extra for stuff they should had included in the base game. ive got the 100k as well from the deluxe microtransaction (it was like 2 bucks extra if you got it with the game, kinda crazy they charge 11 bucks for it if you buy it seperately) only racing ive seen online is betting, so you have a chance to lose cash that way. a full tank of premium is 16k on a stock 40L tank, you will burn through that in 4 races which you get about 20k in return, throw tire cost on top of that and your not really making a profit unless you use the normal fuel.

whole game design was made to nickle and dime mobile players to death, stupid they didnt take any of that out.. and we are the lucky ones, phone payouts are less than half what we get for racing

When it works it's honestly not too bad, after the bug disappeared I haven't run out of fuel yet since last refueling.

For anyone who does run into this issue, definitely easier to just do a car delivery since you won't use your own car, but it may be a pain getting to the event location.

your starter cars are a choice of a clapped out civic (with the sohc d series engine lmao) a 90s miata or a knockoff sunny truck, those arnt racecars.. i can see tire cost not being that bad since they do last a long time but 16k for a tank of gas is horrid with how little you make in racing

4 races? I've done all club race events with 2 tanks, so you either can't count or your sight is really bad.
Once again, DLC IS NOT A MICROTRANSACTION. With your brain every DLC ever made for any game is a cut out content to make money. Insane. Microtransactions are made for small things which would made progress in game faster. They are tailored at low or high price, depending on the content they provide. With car dlc you aren't getting any better or any advantage whatsoever, you just get 6 cars for free instead of paying for them. Same goes for the Speedway, on the phone you can unlock it without paying a dime or pay 15€ to unlock it instantly. It's just about convenience, this game doesn't offer any microtransactions unlike mobile version. So get your ♥♥♥♥ together and stop spilling nonsense.

Don't listen to this dude, 40l tank is 4000 coins since 1l is 100 coins. Which also last a lot longer than just 4 races like he mentions.

might depend on the car, i used the 86 and pretty much was running on empty at the end of my 4th, doubt you ran 15 races on two tanks maybe 10

lmao, so microtransactions are little things that are made to help you progress faster? like 6 free cars that outperform your starter cars? your talking outta your ass on that one, you cant get those six cars period if you dont get the pass (you can get closed top versions of like two, the z32 being one of them, but you cant get the new Z at all if you dont get it in the pack)

so explain how getting 6 free cars that whoop the starter cars ass isnt paying to get an advantage? lmao
