We HAVE to Talk About the Venom F5 & Controversy (Asphalt 8)

[@Meowo.5920]

gameloft should consider starting the 1950 bracket already

[@DBTsVrooms]

I agree with this statement!

[@abdullahbutt8821]

​@@DBTsVroomswhat if they launch a bracket of 2000😂😂😂😂😂XD lol that's 9001 rank of ford f150 is popular

[@AnisSuria-b4w]

Jesko Absolut currently has the highest WRs count, it dominates 46 tracks, DEUS dominates another 15 tracks, Faraday 5 tracks, 300+ got 2 tracks, Senna GTR 1 and Battista 1. That's why past Venom F5 won't straight up get every single WRs in like 60+ tracks of the game just because it got high raw speed. Speed recovery tracks DEUS and Faraday will still be superior at. If anything the OP handling of the past Venom F5 would be its main power to dominate tracks that belong to the absolut, not the OP raw speed. Edit: I forgot to mention there are Sprints tracks as well, Jesko Absolut dominates abt 17 tracks, Faraday 10, Jesko Atk 8, DEUS 3, Venom GT 2 and Battista 1.

[@AnisSuria-b4w]

Example tracks like Tokyo and Iceland tracks I don't think past Venom F5 can dominate with that shit nitro (triple tap nitro was 15th worst in S Class, perfect nitro 4th worst). Even Jesko and Bolide can do better in that track lol.

[@DBTsVrooms]

Thanks for the insight. I indeed figured the Absolut was the best overall, but that it'd still be outperformed in rare occasions. I think it'd be cool if GL started making again specialized cars: Bad accel + great top speed. Or low top speed + great acceleration. Or good speed + bad handling(and drift) and so on. But Im sure the vast majority of A8 players would hate it.

[@Slasher185]

@@DBTsVrooms But that is what makes a racing game, a racing game. Finding a good car for certain tracks and using it to win is all a part of the game.

[@AsphaltSpeed1918vrooms]

@@DBTsVroomsthat’s like the old days before 2020

[@AnisSuria-b4w]

Just because it got bonkers raw speed doesn't mean it would beat the Jesko Absolut interms of performance or heck even the DEUS, Faraday I don't think the previous way superior version can beat them because it still got mid accel and very bad nitro you didn't to talk about. DEUS true total top speed still remains the fastest in the game (510.5 kmh) while having broken recovery, Faraday is basically the weaker version of that and Jesko Abs is the perfect car. So it's not like this car is too overpowered. You also didn't mentioned the fact one of before Nerf Venom F5's main powerful stat is the handling. It's similar to that of the old X2 where it can take hard corners in Transylvania going full triple tap speed. Before only an ultimate car can perform that either with blue or yellow nitro, this car can do it in purple. Well now... Not anymore, it has no particular important uses anymore. Even the freaking Venom GT got more uses than it like wtf

[@AnisSuria-b4w]

I mean at least keep the handling. Imagine a 150$ *1865* ranked car being useful in nothing. Like out of all the 1862 ultimates of class S, this got no uses at all. Compared to DEUS, Faraday, Sorpasso, Battista this car also got less uses.

[@DBTsVrooms]

​@@AnisSuria-b4w I mention acceleration, or handling or anything like that because I never drove the car, since I don't hack the game. All I know is that everyone has the hackers to thank for making GL change the car.

[@fabioandréfernandes]

This car also has another bug,if you use it in classic season you can get matched with cars of any mid-high rank,like yesterday when I saw a F5 when I was racing with a 1680 Cadillac,and if you use it you have a high chance of getting cheaterboard.imagine the ones who paid 150 bucks for it

[@fabioandréfernandes]

you can also get cheaterboard if you use it in Master as well

[@ferdinaks9154]

23:43 mainly the cars used for world records are mainly the Jesko Absolut & deus vayanne for most tracks. However faraday and senna gtr are used for some tracks but not as much as absolut and deus

[@AnisSuria-b4w]

Correct!

[@DBTsVrooms]

Aha. Thank you!

[@JubaDeMetalAlumínio]

I was very confused about the max speed of this car, it really didn't make sense. I didn't know the context. About the Chasing Stars event, yeah, the jackpot is terrible, it restarts even if you didn't get almost anything, but eventually it may give you the great prize of the row. The acumulated wishes rewards are bad, and they also reset, for some stupid reason (probably none). The top% rewards are not that good either, but for a F2P player like me, anything that gives me an actual upgrade/car resource is something. Specially the 1000 tokens, that's actually good. For short, it rewards a lot of shitty stuff and some good things for a lot, a lot of invested time.

[@AsphaltSpeed1918vrooms]

They should add. Car like the Slk special edition in the past. It went 540 kmh at 1828 rank with horrendous acceleration and drifting

[@TahaFR214YT]

Gameloft should consider starting the 1950 Bracket

[@DBTsVrooms]

Absolutely!

[@Comment-creator-03]

They declared that it will reach 500 kmh even when it's not using any kit, but this is such a betrayal! First car ever to reduce it's speed when applying nitro with no kit💀

[@Raihantheasphaltmaster]

Gameloft should consider starting 1950 bracket.

[@DBTsVrooms]

That's a great idea. LOL

[@DiegoRamos-rz1ks]

Gameloft should consider starting the 1950-2000 bracket already. This does give them a good foundation to add more class X cars to leapfrog one another, like how the top speed war manufacturers have beef on who can get the world record on the fastest production car. Honestly, since Kharkiv is also the developers of A9: China, I think they can add another class with that range. Hopefully, this can also get the Barcelona team to also add a new class for 5XXX ranked cars. That way I can see Gauntlet and 1v1 being added and retuned to showcase the new cars, and the opportunity to own them in the Gauntlet shop. It will also allow the rarer cars to be featured in there and the clash store, to both benefit blueprints, car keys, factory imports, and decals. It’s also sad to hear that the minimal effort to make the Chasing Stars event, not even get it to the expectations, they had on paper. I really wanted to see more of the comic, since I thought it was something interesting. And I don’t know if I’m tho only one… I kinda like the girl featuring the event. She seems like a good friend to have. Hopefully I’ll find someone who wants to 1v1 me in split screen against this old boomer playing Legends Unite for 5 years on Switch.

[@DBTsVrooms]

Yeah. That's exactly my point regarding the new bracket. It allows to "one-up" every last king. Look at how well it works in ALU with every new DS cars being the "new king" until the "NEWEST king" arrives

The lowest rank bracket ends with 993, so not all brackets end with a 2.

[@DBTsVrooms]

Sure, but that's a very particular case because we're talking the ultra-beginner level of cars

[@siru8137]

They shouldve add all the venom f5

[@jordanl4279]

DBT, I don't think the hackers are at fault for GL changing the stats. They're absolutely at fault for ruining the surprise tho. When the Venom F5 was leaked by hackers it still looked very "work in progress". 508.0 km/h flat (boosted with nitro) for a R1865 car did not seem to make any sense. I think Gameloft put the car into the game files in order to be able to release the update on time and always intended to change the stats later before releasing it officially regardless of hackers

[@mateoherreraestrada5293]

Let's be honest, if it hadn't been nerfed it would have very poor nitro duration as seen in the leaks and it would be a pest in MP, and despite the absurdly light handling it would surely have been vulnerable to takedowns, plus that speed of 505 and 3 nitro was too good to be true.

[@YATESA8]

So you have a fast car, either grinded hard for it or payed real money, and then you car gets in the newest high bracket of 1950 and becomes the slowest car. Imagine the pain.

[@ferdinaks9154]

Fr I think the brackets should stay how they are imo, making a new bracket and changing car stats is going to be extremely controversial for asphalt 8

[@YATESA8]

@@ferdinaks9154 Agreed. They can add higher ranked cars in S-class if they want to introduce new kings. This also devalues the old kings people paid a lot for, but this is less controversial than owning an expensive car, that 'promotes' to a new high bracket and becomes the slowest in the group.

[@DBTsVrooms]

LOL. That's exactly what the game has been doing for a long time now since the rebalances. Did you forget all the anger about ford GT nerf and all that? Making a Jesko Attack into 1863 would actually make it perform better, but be matched against the newer cars in the new bracket. You think that's making it "slow" and uncompetitive? That's already what's happening with the introduction of 1864 and 1865 cars anyway, and it will only get worse the more cars GL adds that keep breaking the rule of the brackets. The ceiling was 1862, and that was the gold standard for performance in class S. But then they raised it by adding 1864. Now? They raised it further with 1865. Next thing, 1866 and so on. That's why all those should be their own bracket and leave the 1860 bracket alone instead of constantly power creeping it.

[@RUSHTMNBN8]

I know you are NOT clowning the F5 after I just unlocked it yesterday...

[@DBTsVrooms]

It's not clowning. It's speaking truth. The car is objectively slower than any other car in class S when unboosted, and not by a small margin either.

[@CarlRaven91]

I knew something was wrong with the unboosted top speed when I saw it. Guess I'll skip it.

[@DBTsVrooms]

I mean, i dont imagine many people play unboosted anyway, but I thought it was worth bringing up because it made no sense at all

[@Slasher185]

Better Stats for F5. Acceleration can remain the same. 490 kmh raw speed + 3.0 kmh nitro speed. XD Handling can remain the same. Nitro Durations can remain the same. BAM! NEW KING!

[@AnisSuria-b4w]

Uh adding raw speed ain't gonna make it King lmao. It already has that ability when boosted. The issue is with it being unboosted. Should've kept the before nerf stats

[@Slasher185]

@AnisSuria-b4w that was unboosted btw.

[@DBTsVrooms]

It should just be like any other top ULTIMATE car with maybe the tiniest higer top speed than the Abs

[@DragonballSuper-tb5eo]

@@DBTsVroomsi agree , yeah a bit faster then jesko absolute will make sense

[@Slasher185]

@DBTsVrooms yeah, that's better, especially for a 1865 car. XD

[@C-H-A-Y-A-N]

Actually total top speed has nothing to do with its rank (unless a whole different bracket) for example Aspark owl (1859) goes faster than Jesko absolut (1864)

[@iemandnogwat814]

I don't think adding a rank bracket of 1952 is a good idea. The speed difference between 1862 and 1952 would have to be about 23 kph in order to make this new bracket stand out. That will lead to cars having a total boosted speed in excess of 531 kph. Even alien players would have problems handling cars with that speed.

[@DBTsVrooms]

The tracks back in 2013 were not originally designed with cars going 508kmh (leaving aside the fake 600kmh speeds of old days), and yet, we still have Nevada, Alps, Barcelona and all the other OG tracks in the game. Players have had to adapt and learn "what I can and can't do with these fast cars". It would be the same thing. "Oh, my 515kmh car crashes when I do this jump? then when I use this car, I will NOT take this jump and do this other route instead" Also, Im not suggesting to add 1952 cars instantly. I mentioned in the video to keep adding 1864, 65, then 66, then 67 and so on. Each "the new king" which is what GL wants to do anyway to sell more. Each of these cars would be slightly faster and faster and people would learn to deal with them over time. This opens the door for GL to keep adding newer and newer "kings", making the most money from all the people who only want "king of kings" and that'd leave the 1773-1862 bracket alone
