Adder needs buffing up a bit?

[BSEANO]

 

 

I don't think any of the cars need a buff or debuff. You are asking for 200K cars to perform like 800K-1M dollar cars, and that makes no sense.

 

The adder should be the fastest car, the Entity is a step back in speed but handles and accelerates better. I'm not really sure rebalancing these accomplishes anything.

Huh? I'm asking for a $1m car to perform like a $1m car.

You're right the Adder should be the fastest car, but its pretty much level with the Entity at the moment and it is meant to accelerate quicker than the Entity too, but it doesn't, its slower.

 

 

I meant other people...asking for a vacca buff when the car is 1/5th the cost.

 

The adder does perform fine, I'm not really sure what else you want to do.

 

Oh right, my bad.

I just think it should accelerate a lot faster and have a slightly larger top speed gap to the Entity. Like its meant to have, but doesn't. Obviously it can't be TOO much quicker, but if the traction/handling was reduced a bit too then it'd be fine. The Adder is meant to the fastest and most powerful car in the game (not necessarily quicker around a track, but much quicker from A to B).

[Kracus]

You know the adder is indeed faster than an entity.

 

If you race a very long straight race when the adder slip streams past it's quite difficult to catch the slip stream in an entity. With catchup on it takes significantly longer to catchup to an adder that just passed you as opposed to an entity. If catchup isn't on there's a good chance you won't see the adder again.

 

My main problem is the acceleration. It doesn't make sense to me that a car that goes so fast would be slower off the line.

Well, you cant have one car be the end all in every race, because then thats all you get. The speed gap is enough (remember, the Entity is far from cheap). It is quicker from A to B when B is a straight line, but if you also made it fast when A to B is a very very very curvy line, you would not have any other cars.

Isn't the top speed in Online capped at 140 mph without slipstreaming/catch up? That right there negates the Adder's biggest advantage.

No, I hit 150.7 in my adder on a straight away the other day. I was the only one on the course. Only reason I know is my top speed went from 142.25 in the Entity to the 150.7

That's where the reduced traction comes in. If its very very fast in a straight line but difficult to corner, the Entity will still beat it on a bendy track. The Adder handles extremely well at the moment, I just think it could do with trading a bit of that handling for the power that it should've had in the first place.

Ahh. The only fully modded supercar I've owned so far is the Turismo, which capped out at 139 for me.

[Flexusen]

The Adder needs better handling, not the opposite.

[LambentBunny]

Just lower it's price It does not really need any changes just to be cheaper.

[AWEMYGOD]

OP - this is GTA, not Need for Speed.

[PG.]

No. Who still drives that ugly piece of sh*t anyways when you got the Turismo R, Entity XF and Vacca

[BSEANO]

I'm aware, but if the game states a car is faster and accelerates better than another car, then it needs to do it.

^ Calls Adder an ugly piece of sh*t, thinks Entity XF looks good.

 

Says it all lol.

[Kracus]

I literally just bought an Adder last night for long straight races it seems very dominant.

[BSEANO]

No. Who still drives that ugly piece of sh*t anyways when you got the Turismo R, Entity XF and Vacca

Because some people like it. I have a Turismo too, and a Vacca. I'm not getting a Kleenex Box XF though.

Yeah, that works if they plan on giving everyone back the difference...which they don't.

You should, it's much better than the vacca and the turismo and would free up another slot in your garage.

[MitchMaljers]

Just buff the Adder, Bullet, AND the Vacca, and everyone will be happy...





if not, they can suck my cock.

Nahh, I really don't like it. The Vacca and Turismo both look better anyway and I use my Adder for racing. That leaves me with no reason to buy one.

[Mattyp1514]

I hope you see the problem with Buffing cars now...you buff one, apparently you're expected to rebalance everything.

[da_illest101]

All the adder needs is to have permanent chrome color and be default in everybody's garage and making it unremovable.

To say the Adder needs improving is like conceding that it's inferior. In my opinion it is, but I've raced in it enough to be able to make my own distinction compared to the Entity and Turismo. They cater more to my style of driving in GTA which is to be more agile. Anyone who runs an Adder runs it for it's top line speed, which the most one dimensional, simplistic reason to choose any car, because "it's the fastest". If all you race are user created races that go 5 miles down the freeway, then sure...the Adder will do you just fine. But if you actually prefer races with corners and require you to actually depress the brakes, then the Adder is as overrated as they come.

I'm not saying the Adder is inferior, I'm saying that it should be better than it currently is in a straight line because it doesn't live up to its 0-60 time and top speed.

Also the Adder is more agile than the Entity, the Entity just has better grip. I run with the Adder because I like it, not because of its straight line speed (which is hardly any different to the Entity's). I can get around Cutting Coroners in 54.6 seconds in it anyway, which is a better time than many have done in the XF (not bragging, just saying, its not all speed).

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/career/vehicles/sp/super/ <-- gives better top speed and braking to the Adder.

So, you pay 200k more for top speed and better brakes. There`s nothing TO fix. It is your decision what to invest in, since you should judge based on car characteristics and not "Salesman Pitch".

It's also overpriced pretty spot on though.

Forgot.

 

 

 

I`d imagine these guys have stellar 0-60 times, but can they corner or even turn? So, I really don`t see your point about the 0 to 60 time. There isn`t anywhere a direct correlation between 0 to 60 time and handling characteristics.

[Black & White]

No , I dont think the adder needs buffing, its fine the way it is. Cars like Vacca(should have a been in the sports class) and Bullet need more buffing.

 

To be honest, the majority of the cars in the game need sorted out. That electric car can beat most of the sports cars.
