No, I have no idea who Slitch is and I am very sure that this has always been the case. Why do you think that I should know him? lol I actually bought one mistery pack last night because I just wanted to see what's in there but that was extremely disappointing, haha. I am not sure if it's much different at level 50 but for me right now it still takes a little bit to earn 50k of cash and I would already get many times as many powerups from races during that time as I would get from buying such a pack. I mean I do have 1.200.000 cash right now but that's also how much the tier 3 BMW costs that I would like to get at level 40 and then at level 50 I could spend another 2.000.000 for the LP640. So I wouldn't say that there is really nothing else to spend the cash on. The packs would only be worth it for me if there are also some top performance parts inside them sometimes. Thanks for the additional link but it seems that this guy doesn't know either what exactly the demolition man does and there is also a mistake in there because it says you have 46 + 4 points total but actually you only have 49.

Thought you said you had the 911 GT3? The M3 E46 has had its day, Everyone needs powerups & that is what the Mystery card packs are for. i once spent a full $10million on mystery card packs only to recieve 4 pro parts. Can you not buy the really cheap boost? if not do you know anyone from Poland, Australia, Uk? we are able to buy it cheap atm £7.00 for 50k boost. & Regarding Slitch ask any of the long standing leaderboard competitors who he is He's a nfsw legend.

Well, as you can see from me not even being level 50 I haven't paid that close attention to NFS World so far, even though I had it from the very beginning. I have always preferred the more classic NFS games like Most Wanted and Carbon and I could also name "legends" from many of those, while the people on the World leaderboard are all just nonames to me. (no offense intended, I simply don't know anything about them, since none of them were really famous in other NFS) To be honest I have always seen World as a game just for casual players and not for serious record chasers because there are so many random factors like traffic and having to be lucky to get the best powerups. I think such a game is not really well suited for finding out who the best player is. I also dislike the fact that so many things can only be gotten with real money and now they even retired the best car for both tier 2 and tier 3, so new people don't even have a fair chance to really enter the record chase. That's really stupid. I am glad I still managed to get the Porsche for tier 3 at least. However, now that I saw how fast the cars in this game can get in the end I do realise that it takes quite a lot of skill as well to set a record time and I definitely start to respect the game a bit more now. Also the last retail NFS games have been very bad for competitive play as well, while the old ones are really suffering from inactivity. So that's why I am now getting interested in NFS World again. I guess this game won't die anytime soon with so many active players in it. About the boost I have never even checked how much it actually costs for me, although I am pretty sure that my country will not be among the cheap ones. I just don't agree with this whole principle of having to pay additional money for a game all the time. When the game first came out I got this starter pack that gave me a free Silvia, 10k boost and some other stuff and since then I have never even thought about buying anything else once again. I actually just checked and damn, I don't even have any words for this... I am not really sure why EA thinks that people in the UK are so much poorer than people in Germany but I guess I can only say you guys are very lucky over there.

Danwise. Looking at your run... 1:01:75 is possible at minimum. Probably means nothing coming from me but based on how my runs go and the tiny differences which can add an extra second sometimes, you can go faster. Whether you want the braggin rights is another story s2kap1What's it like compared to mine?(previous page) No idea your level or skill points, but 1:19:?? is easy to do in the RZ especially with powerups. Was doing 1:21:?? or something when it was all Amerikon Tuned.

You're 100% correct, i did an additional 40 or so races & noticed that if i use my 1st nos slightly earlier then the 2nd nos down the 1st long straight, i should be able to take the sharp corner at 22 seconds but its frikken hard work lol so frustrating :@ Just a small tip for anyone trying to get the best out of slingshot, DO NOT use nos/juggernaut until the slingshot has ran out otherwise you will sacrifice acceleration

1:12:73 - SHIRUHANTA - Mazda RX-7 RZ - Overall 514 - Level 47 nfs-s.com/nfsw/SHIRUHANTAMessed up the wall tap on 90 degree right, lame car blocked entry to bridge shortcut so lost a lot there and car right near the end made me turn too much. Sad I didn't get a low 1:12:?? or even 1:11:?? though but still happy with it Need to keep my sanity for other races. The game went black after I finished and AI never finished, hence nothing happening at the end but left it there to see. Screenshot is from the video. Lucky I recorded it cos it took almost 2.5 hours to get this run! EDIT: Forgot I made another mistake. I hit that flower pot at the end instead of the gap between the two. A good .015 of a second lost there I reckon ><

I really want to get to level 50 here finally. I already own this game since the very first day it came out, so it's ridiculous that I still haven't made it. Although it does take a ton of time to level up it should not have taken me more than a whole year to finish this. I just need to play a bit more. Well, its great that u decided to get it to level 50, You can level-up quite faster by playing the Team Escape events. They gives high amount of reps and cash. Shortest TE event is "ALL IN" and most players play this for easy leveling up. It will be boring to doing this always so sometimes do races for changes, after all thats what matters us most One question here: Are you sure that the demolition man skill only works against cops and not against racers, so that I don't need to get it? Because I feel like I am always getting the worse end in multiplayer collisions, even though I used the maximum amount of points at my level for the ram skill. Multiplayer sync is very bad currently. So no matter what skills u learn, you end up getting rammed... if you are rammed. It can't be helped. The skills set I have in my guide is for the overall game modes, including pursuits and team escapes. So if you ever do these events you will be benifited. So yes, Demolition Man works in these modes only, not in races. But other skills matters a lot. make sure you atleast learn all Race skills excluding that stupid trafic magnet related skill and make sure the Ready skill from Explore is maxed out. If you can get these all maxed out then you will be on the best mode. And another thing: Using 100 nitrous just for one challenge sounds pretty insane. As you can see in the video I don't even have 50 right now. Are you guys buying a lot of stuff with speed boost like the good upgrades etc? Even though I could probably afford it I don't really want to use a lot of real money for this game. I only used boost to buy the 911 GT3 so far because it seems to be the best car and was getting retired. I would feel kind of stupid to spend boost just for single upgrades etc but it would also be silly if I had to play forever to get them otherwise. I mean there are always these people advertising cheap boost in chat but I never took that seriously because they are surely just scams, right? Those boost advertises on chat are all fakes. And as of now, most players are buying cheap boost by changing thier country in their EA account to Australia, Spain, Poland and UK. Since last month they have been selling at a super discount rate, 50K boost only at $3.5. I got mine through "X" friend (not gonna mention him) and got 2x50K of them, so these were a lot to have some pro parts for most of my cars. All thanks goes to him . Not sure if the sale is still going on, if it does, take the advantage of it now. You might regret it later if you miss the opportunity. No, I have no idea who Slitch is and I am very sure that this has always been the case. Why do you think that I should know him? lol Well, like dan said, he is a legend of this game. Was the best player in the game and had been wining lot of competitions, be if official or the community ones. He's not playing the game now, but was like... pro of all of us. Thou I wanted to see most of the WCG participants to see in this game, specially VGSpeed. To be honest, it was his guidance and videos that made me this skilled. It was really a great time I ever had and it was only international cyber competition we had in our country. I really miss those days a lot. Oh... too long message. .. sorry folks, just got into chat with old friend.

Shortest TE event is "ALL IN" and most players play this for easy leveling up. It will be boring to doing this always so sometimes do races for changes, after all thats what matters us most Yeah, I was actually doing that one for a while but now I am doing Waterfront Road multiplayer races because that is even better. It only takes 1 minute and gives 1000 rep even if you lose. All In takes over 4 minutes but right now only gives like 2000 or 3000. I got mine through "X" friend (not gonna mention him) and got 2x50K of them, so these were a lot to have some pro parts for most of my cars. All thanks goes to him . What do you mean with getting speed boost through somebody else? Can you transfer it between accounts? I didn't know about that so far. Thou I wanted to see most of the WCG participants to see in this game, specially VGSpeed. To be honest, it was his guidance and videos that made me this skilled. It was really a great time I ever had and it was only international cyber competition we had in our country. I really miss those days a lot. Well, at least you had the chance to experience a WCG Grand Final as a player. Not many NFS players can say that. Rogério is definitely an inspiration. He actually got NFS World a few months ago together with The Run and the newest CoD but he is focusing on The Run for now. You can already see him owning again there in his videos. Razer from Italy got World as well. He was talking about it in the Game Talk section here. Maybe you met him at WCG as well, since he qualified for the same ones as you. Sometimes I am actually thinking if I had the money I would sponsor another big NFS tournament like the old WCG used to be and invite racers from all over the World once again but I am afraid I won't be rich enough to afford that anytime soon.

Not transfer, but had to give my account details to him so he logged from his PC and purchased it for me. Rogério is definitely an inspiration. He actually got NFS World a few months ago together with The Run and the newest CoD but he is focusing on The Run for now. You can already see him owning again there in his videos.

As expected from the portugal king . Hope he sometime soon join this game. Razer... he is david125, isn't he?? We were in the same group of the 1st round. Our match was very close. & intense. I think if not WCG, we might be able to add this game in ESL if this luck based (like traffic, collision) & money based factors (cars, performance parts) can be solved in a proper manner. All we can do is hope. My stats can not be updated and I didn't receive any email regarding being banned or smth. And all my times are legit.

There were 3 Italian players in Monza. www.wcg.com/6th/tournament/2006/tm_matchsch_03_full_nfs.htmlRazer actually even beat Rogério I only just saw, lol. About ESL: I am actually the main NFS admin there and I can't really see them adding World anytime soon from what I know. Right now we only have Hot Pursuit 3, since all other NFS are unsuitable or became too inactive, so ESL didn't want to keep them.

Right now we only have Hot Pursuit 3, since all other NFS are unsuitable or became too inactive, so ESL didn't want to keep them. Well players are quite active in this game, just if these things can be fixed then something could be done. Anyway, I got even more faster time than previous, thanks to Danwise's video . Pretty much copied it exactly and got this time... 1.04.11 - ABDMASTER - Lotus Elise - OA: 510 - Level 50 nfs-s.com/nfsw/ABDMASTERPretty good run this time. Now its like, if I could max the rating overall, then probably 1:03 maybe even a 1:02 could be possible. This time took about 1 hour, lost less NOS than, about 40 I guess.
