You know it's inevitable that Firedonkeys will make things easier without 🤬 it up 10x worse in another section. Less conversion kits + cheaper to slot, but take away the ability to farm Car Series. Well done. Also crates going to pot again. Geez they really want people to walk away from this game don't they?

If only they spend as much creativity on gameplay instead of trying to squeeze as much $$$ from players, this could be the best game in the world.

Full breakdown from reddit:

Gameplay changes
Storage
Everyone's storage will be upgraded to 275. Free of charge, if you've already done this yourself you'll get a refund for all the gold that you've spent. For someone who's fully upgraded their storage prior to this, you'll get back 1230G

Tuner trials
Tuner trials are open. You will also be given one all access pass.

In a daily cycle, a different tuner trial series will be open, centric on a particular part. E.g. monday is engine, tuesday is turbo, wednesday is gearbox and so on. Sundays are cash and visual points (boo)

In the trial specific to that day, you have 5 race options. And 2 tickets to use. Each option has a specific reward, and those rewards are:

  1. Common conversion kit + common material
  2. Uncommon conversion kit + uncommon material
  3. Rare conversion kit + rare material
  4. Epic conversion kit + epic material
  5. Legendary material
All related to the part of the day. Being tuesday, all kits are turbo flavour and the materials were turbo related. The legendary material is of course the turbine.

Eg. (wednesday, gearbox stuff)

You need a viper to do any of today's races, and a for the turbine race the opponents were around 650PR The car you need depends on the race you choose.

For race 1 you need a fiesta, race 2 = m3, race 3 = supra, race 4 = 911 (991), race 5 = viper

You have two tickets, and I used both on the turbine race and walked away with 2 turbines. Yay...

Each race also required 3 fuel.

You also got given 1 free access pass. Which unlocks all 7 days for an hour. Each 'day' has 2 tickets, so you can conceivably farm 12 legendary materials right away, though watch the fuel as you need 3 per race. This sounds wonderful in theory, however if you want another access pass it'll cost 250 gold. Or if you're a VIP5 you'll get another one for free in 2 weeks.

This all sounds dandy, who doesn't love gold materials... so far so good.....

Slotting kits have become far cheaper
Gone are the 20-25 conversion kits required plus the eye watering cash requirement. These have been slashed by over 75%

Otoh, the number associated material required has gone up, slotting that material and the rebuild cost hasn't changed.

For example. Before the update to upgrade the M4's engine to legendary from epic, you needed : 3 pistons, 25 epic engine kits. It'd cost 570k to slot those engine kits. Now you need 10 pistons, and 4 epic engine kits, and it's only 100k to slot the kits.

Wonderful...

Series races are no longer replayable
One hand giveth the other hand backslaps you for thinking that EA & firemonkeys would give you something for nothing.

As per title, no more replaying series races. So while it's great that the cash requirement and number of kit requirement has dropped, it's now impossible to farm the kits.

The only sources are: crates (with 24 different kits available, GL with that) and tuner trials.

Tuner trials are now the only source for conversion kits

So for someone like myself who needs 4 epic engine kits, I will have to wait till monday and use both tickets on the epic engine kit option (skipping the crankshaft option) and do this for 2 consecutive mondays.

What's that? in 2 mondays the m4 event will be over and i'll be too late... woops.. :( :(

At least they give an access pass to help with that. did i mention they cost 250g each?

New cars and whatnot
Apparently the shelby is now available, i've yet to see a source. You can buy 69 charger bp's from the TS too. I've yet to refresh my TS so i don't know much about this yet.

Ads
Now that EA's stripped out a lot of the gameplay, what to fill in the time? You can now watch ads! ~30 second ad gives you 1 gold. Which may or may not be good value depending on your data charges, those video ads do chew a lot of data.

The banner sits on the map screen, and is part of the frame overlaying everything. Seems like you can watch 5 ads a day.

Bonus IAP
Any IAP get a 50% bonus for the first purchase they make after this update (doesn't apply to gold cards)

Considering the rest of new features, it's pretty cheeky of them to come hat in hand expecting anything less than a roundhouse kick to the face. They'd be lucky if it doesn't inspire a record number of people to ask for refunds.

Blackmarket offers slightly more reasonable pricing on things
Thanks to made-up-fact for pointing this out. For the first time ever, the blackmarket items may be a wortwhile buy.

Viva-la-italia is gone
Probably temporary to fix that silly 948PR requirement on the last race. I'd expect it back sometime soon, or maybe just after the LF event finishes. I believe the LF should be a usable car for that series after that.

Bugs & fixes (so far)
no more free fuel ups every 3h20m
Unsure if this was ever a legitimate feature, but in any case it appears to be gone. And instead of getting a fuel up, your tank will stall and you won't get any tickets until you pay 30G. WTF??

see this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfsnolimits/comments/40kc62/fuel_tank_broken/

Edit : i've had 3 'new content, click ok to update' prompts now. Hopefully at least 1 of them has fixed this issue. I'll need to wait a few hours to find out.

Edit : nope, still broken.

I believe the interim solution is to let your fuel tank get filled at least once every 3h20m, i.e. the reverse of before, having to have a non full tank for that duration. This should reset the counter that counts till the point when your tank will stall

Crashes
The game still crashes randomly sometimes. So no help there.

Mustang event delayed 1 day
It will now start 1 day later than originally scheduled

Mustang event only gives 20 LF BP's now.
The splash screen now says 20 BP's instead of the 25 it said yesterday.

BP races no longer give guaranteed street parts
More of a bug fix than a bug, but gees it'd be nice of them to focus on the more pertinent ones like, i don't know incessant crashing.

As above, redoing a race for say a fiesta that you've finished no longer guarantees a street part. This was a useful feature for cash farming, but now you can also earn materials (sometimes a good thing) or visual points (never a good thing)

Premium ALL crates turning back to **** again
To celebrate the 1230g i got refunded, i bought 2 premium crates. First one was uncommon street wheel, 2nd one was rare street ecu. Wtf... it's been a long time since i've gotten this sorta rubbish from a premium crate, usually I would get rare hyper parts, which were arguably less useless. But this is just a kick in the teeth

Also thought to try regular crates. Bought four eight of them.

All those epic materials that I use to get en masse, you know, all those drive shafts, calipers and pistons that I would have to sell to clear inventory space? Not one. It's no coincidence that they up the requirements to 10-12 from 3, and then nerf the crates so that i can't get them from there anymore.

Not one single conversion kit of any flavour was found in 8 rounds of cash crates. Seeing a pattern here?

Edit : Can confirm that loading docks no longer give kits.

So what comes from crates? lots of common, uncommon materials, some rare and a LOT of street parts... because you know a 3k return on a 4k investment is great economy rolls eyes.

Edit : out of boredom i bought my 3rd premium crate of the day to see if it's really terrible.

I really wish i were lying. This is 3 street parts from 3 crates purchased now.

Hoses are worth 98 cash now
Not that you'd really want to sell many, but now they only fetch 98 cash if you sell it. Bearings have always been like this and so they sell for 98 cash also. Other rare materials sell for 1050 cash.

Some visual bugs have been fixed
Nominally, the 4 exhaust bug and the aventadorspoiler bug have been fixed.

Some visual bugs have been created
Police in some races have extremely bright flashing lights now, visible through walls and whatnot.

I haven't updated, so what do i do?
Probably the reason i made this thread.

There's no telling when this update will be forced on you, right now it has to be kicked off from the app store, but it's only a matter of time until you are forced to update.

This is doubly important for those that are trying to get their M4 ready for m4 week.

Farm as many kits as you require asap.
For every rare and epic part that you plan to upgrade in the near future. Farm 4x of those conversion kits.

If you're at that stage, slot the accompanying material (but not the kit) in the above example with the engine, slot those 3 pistons now as you'll need 10 after the update.

All races will refresh after the update
If you're grinding bp's for say the m4, have those races done before you update. After the update it'll be refreshed and you'll have 3 more bites at the cherry.

Buy any premium crates you needed
Premium crates were sometimes useful for getting good numbers of blueprints (can't say no to 5 CCX prints) or some parts, but as documented above it's all gone to ****. So if you were going to spend gold on crates do it before the update. Post update don't bother with premium any crates anymore.

Upgrade your storage if you need
If you don't already have maxed storage, but are struggling to store all those millions of conversion kits you're now hoarding. Feel free to upgrade your store to 275 space. After you update, you'll get a full refund on the gold spend anyway.

Street parts from gold crates always killed me. 85% of the people playing this game are DONE with street cars. We're onto sports/hyper/super cars at this point. I don't really get the fuel issue though, mine is working ok.

Also, as of right now it is FREE to get tournament tickets when you run out. So get them and if you have an upgraded R-32 then go for this tournament. I'm currently sitting in 1st place but I know it won't last long since tier 1 will probably require a 750+ GT-R.

I'm on iOS so I haven't been forced to update yet. I've just blown 500 golds on premium crates and I'll grind as many conversion kits as possible before being forced to update.

I just wish they don't muck around with in-game economy and mechanics every update. When they made Car Series races only use 1 fuel I suspected something horrible is looming in the next update. It just sounds too good to be permanent. And voila my worst fears are realized.

Needless to say, No Limits will be my first and last foray into mobile gaming. I'll stick to console and PC thank you.

Another problem with Car Series races not being replayable is eventually you are going to run out of new races, and you'll miss out on the daily golds for winning 3 CS races (which if you do everyday over a long period of time can be quite significant).

Once you hit level 100 maximum and finished Underground there is literally no other source of free golds besides the daily challenges. You get golds from Tournament if you place high, but that's impossible unless you have cars with high enough PR and buy tickets (which requires golds as well). So pretty much you have to pay $$$. Then again, once you finished Underground I see no more reason to keep playing.

Because of this reason I'm gonna hold off updating as long as possible. Gold materials can wait. The ability to replay CS races is far more important to me.
 
Another small update. Now the Tournament Shop have only BP for sale (win).

New cars

I can't see the shelby anywhere so I think it's not aviable. Viva-la-Italia is still on... at least for me. La Ferrari still can't enter the event. Tried it on my hacked account (I gave up my ordinary account long ago. I tried game guardian on another and now it's allmost fun to play it).

Depends on where you are in the game. I have almost all my cars maxxed out in terms of stars, so I don't need anymore BPs. Besides, you can always grind BP from their respective races. What I need are epic and legendary parts for super cars. Since the premium crate is nerfed after the update it's the only way you can reliable get parts (without going the god awful conversion kits route).

That's not my post (I haven't even updated yet). They just saw the Shelby BP logo in its Car Series changed to the blue stock one (as opposed to the green Snoop Dogg one). Also Viva Italia has been reinstated (LaF still can't enter).
 
Edit: nvm and also I'm stuck at the last event with a 738PR block there's nothing I can do....:( I'm at 728 PR with my mustang and all my parts are maxed out and I don't have any money to convert a rare part (blue) to epic part (purple) I swear I hate this game right now

I feel for you bro :( Luckily there's still one more week left and you can get a few more BPs and at least get a 3 star LaFerrari.

I got the LaF last night. Chain drifts really well and engine sounds good too. Also no customization whatsoever like the 458 Italia. With rare nitro and gearbox it got up to 795 PR. I have a few more hyper parts but I'm saving those for Koenigsegg. Even if I throw everything into LaF with only 3 stars I doubt it will take me to the final race. My M4 is at mid 600 PR now. I'll still keep upgrading it as much as possible, but I'm not expecting to finish the final week.

EDIT: The game just prompted me to update :grumpy: So this is it then, goodbye Car Series farming :( I was so close to getting all the required kits for my M4 as well :mad:

EDIT2: I noticed the replayable Car Series races icons are still unchanged. You just can't click on them. That gives me hope that one day they will reinstate those races again.

Or it just means they din't bother to change the icon. Even with that they are lazy.

Funny though, the update summary mentioned a custom paint ability? Anybody see that?

False promises, 2 weeks to reply to a question, game crashes during crucial races where you can't waste a special event/tournament ticket, etc etc.

I'm officially done folks. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game but I guess my boredom of racing the same races over and over has grown past my patience for 'new' content.

Possibly. They still haven't fixed the race rewards icons after it has been pointed out many weeks ago (some races in UG gives 2 purple + cash, but the icons showing possible rewards only shows 1 purple + 2 cash).

Custom paint I think is referring to upcoming livery editor. Why they included that in this update notes is beyond me.

It's such a shame. This game has a lot of potential to be a really good mobile game, but it's ruined by greed. Unfortunately there ARE people who fall for their cheap tricks (someone on reddit spent USD 3000 on this game :crazy:), so the developers just keeps milking the cow...
 
My M4 at 683 PR isn't having any problems up to the 5th chapter. No doubt I'll start hitting roadblocks in the last chapter though. In any case, a 4 star LaFerrari is going to be a dead end anyway. I doubt it's going to be able to beat the final race against Marcus. My McLaren is up to 800 PR now so I'm starting to focus on that exclusively. Cash are so hard to get after the update though :banghead:

In terms of BPs, I'm almost done with every car. Just Porsche (15 more), McLaren (15 more), Ferrari 458 (2 stars more). Should be done by the end of this month hopefully, then we'll see if I still have the motivation to keep playing...

Yeah and I finally have blueprints for every car so no silhouetted car anywhere lol... I'm just grinding parts for my LaFerrari and I'm happy that I'm finally able to progress the story since the Ferrari was over the PR block.. Also the fortune tuner trial is nice I just wish tuner trials didn't cost any gas:grumpy: but alas I'm just waiting on 9.1 jail break so I can really get ahead and hack this game as fire monkeys are literally asking for it just like with Real Racing 3 :lol:


Also.... Lol ;):lol::lol::lol:

Anyone knows how to get the M4 easily to 783 PR? Which is ridiculous tho.. I have it at 767 PR now but there is no way i can get it to 783 PR now without spending a ridiculous amount of money, which i dont have in game. And not feeling to spend €19,99 to skip the event with gold which is 750 :rolleyes:

There's no easy way that would be fast enough for you unless you payed for gold I'm afraid to say
 
I am on android...I have 2 android handsets (one rooted and one not rooted). I play with the one that is not rooted. But I have a memory editor (game guardian) on the rooted one.
Ok so do you need 2 devices to hack? I will try that app on my rooted phone too, hope they won't ban my account tho.

The thing with android is that you can play your game (as long as you sign in using your Gmail account) on different devices. As long as you have been playing NFS No limit with your Gmail account and have saved your latest position. You can open the game in your device and make changes. Save. Then go back to your uprooted device and play.
 
Thanks the Alphagamers method to hack the game worked like a charm :bowdown:


Cool. Now enjoy all the gold. Also you can hack for normal currency. Try to sell a material. If the resell of a material gives 5000, before u sell use game guardian to edit 5000 to 16m. Don't go over 16m. Save and enjoy. Repeat as often as you want.

To get the full blue print for any car. First make sure u have at least one blueprint. For example if the car requires 50 bps, use game guardian to edit 50 to minus 3. Then u can stage up. Save and go back to your non rooted and enjoy:-)

Thanks for the help, but to make it 16m i just put 16? I got the LaFerrari now fully upgraded with that blueprint hack but the only issue now is my PR dropped for the car :/ Any way to fix that?

I mean that the total cash you have should not be higher than 16m at anytime. So for example if you have 1m now then if you hack don't add more than 16m.

If you search for a number to change and there are many, for example 2000 results. game guardian allows u to change 100 at a time. If you do this a few times u minimise game guardian and check whether the value has changed. Repeat this until u see the value has changed. This way u don't have to change the whole 2000 results.

Tip....I use a part that sells for 7500...
