2% per ad you are kidding right?
Can I make a suggestion that it is at least 5% per advert or maybe even 10% per advert. Then it might be worth watching the adverts. But at 2% I am not going to waste my device battery and data.
I presume the more adverts that are watched the more money IGP gets correct? I would love to help IGP out here but the reward has to be more than 2% I just saw that when I watched one and laughed and clicked out of it.

Whots with replying here? This is wrong place for question! I dont want read silly question as reply to different problem!

Now to Yosemite!
Why not 100% per add? Then we can all train our drivers in a single day from lvl 7 to 20

You should be happy you get anything at all! Most of the managers here had to do years without.
Just consider it a gift. If u dont like gifts then dont watch the adds.....

I was going to be slightly more diplomatic however, Bo covered it all.
2 weeks ago we had 0% free healing. Now after 20 seconds we get 2% healing.
I presume you downloaded iGP because you're at some level interested in F1 racing, just keep that thought alive Yosemite Sam.
Data? wait....Battery? Ok....I think Bo will do a better take on these two..

Peace!

Good to see you are living up to your rep on the forum Bo

If you guys are happy with 2% then that is a bonus for IGP, it take watching 5 ads if you have a 5 star doctor just to train once.

You both missing the point that the video ads are money for IGP, I presume the more they are clicked on and watched the more income IGP will receive. At 2% I would think allot of managers would not bother but at 5% they may, thrust generating more income for IGP.

It only a suggestion for IGP they can do what they want, just to me more income means better chance of more things added to the game like new tracks and other features allot of people seem to want.

2% I will not bother watching the ads but at 5% I would so that more income right there for IGP, and I am sure there is a max cap so you can only watch so many per day.

Peace out

Im all about diplomacy an political correctness! So here we go again...
The entire game is free if u play it right! But a free game still has expenses wether u like it or not!
So just watch an occasional add from time to time! Its not like they force adds down your throat every 30 seconds mid-play!
Just be happy with what u get n stop complaining for free stuff!

We have a saying.. dont look a gifted horse in the mouth... Its a free game! Support the game! Watch adds!

On the battery part! Buy a charger! On the data part! Get wifi or an all-in account with ur provider!

Lets compare to ads for parts:
1 ad = 1 part = 1 token (more or less, depending on package size)

healing:
1 ad = 2 % for each driver
1 token = 10 % for one driver

So, u got to have a lots of drivers (do ads even work for more than 2 drivers) to get to 1 ad = 1 token.

That's because it's hard to give out half a part. The parts were given away way too cheap although with managing manufacturing and design a team can go a long way without needing any part from ad or token anyway.

In my view the ad healing is less there to do more training on its own but a way to save a token on like healing a 57% driver. Either you pay the 5 token or you watch 2 ads and are able to go with 4 token.

I dunno whats wrong with people nowadays! They have so much they all develop a false sense of entitlement....
Oh.. seems i do know whats wrong!
Just be happy with everything u get for free! And if that is not enough u can still buy tokens to spend on refilling the health bar.
Comparing apples n oranges.... because u get 1 free part per add u probably feel like u should get 1 full bar of health. And even that would still make u feel like its not enough. Its never enough! More more more! Gimme gimme gimme!

Im happy btw! Thnx for the 2% i will definitly watch some adds as soon as my drivers get to expensive n i trade m in for cheaper ones

I agree with Bo, despite his rant-ish posts :P

Something is better than nothing, and the % Heal can not be so high. And from a business perspective, people would stop spending real money for Tokens, if each Heal was +50%.

Where did the OP say 50% or 100% for each advert watched?? I agree 2% seems a little small but 10% is too much as the OP mention. Does not effect myself anyway as I have fully trained drivers. Plus Bo do you like writing the same stuff over and over again. You must like reading what you write since you repeated the same stuff three times here.
Hey now I gave you the opening here Bo you can write it for a fourth time ?

Bo Alberti

Lol! I dont like to read what i write! I just hate to read the ungratefull crap others write while years have gone by where people didnt have a chance to refill the health bar at all except by spending coins!

There are numerous factors involved in deciding these values. We may scale it up over time if it seems right, but we always prefer to start conservatively then crank it up if people find it useful.

As some have highlighted it has to be balanced within the game economy overall. The worst way to do that would be starting with a massively overpowered placement, which Parts ads were - let's face it, nobody was bothering to develop the HQ and it completely removed that aspect of gameplay. This is also why it's a bad comparison for the value of any subsequent placements, unless we just want ads to replace gameplay everywhere they are implemented?

In addition to these objective factors, there are even greater subjective reasons for these changes. There is clearly far too much expectation of entitlement to ads, and some people actually feel owed a debt of them, arriving at the forum or support like a debt collector demanding their ads, sometimes very rudely. Some have even attempted to blackmail us in to giving them free stuff, e.g. "I'll make my rating 5-stars if you give me my free parts, until then it's 1-star". Far from encouraging us to increase the number of ads available to these users, it convinced us that we had set the wrong expectations and it was time for change.

Even threads like this assure us that we need to adjust ad placements to reflect what they really are - opportunities from advertisers. Before an advert can be shown to anyone, there has to be an ad network with an advertiser that wants to show that particular user an advert. Again, that has nothing to do with us, but the various ad platforms and the advertisers purchasing ads from them and who they are targeting.

Once the dust settles on the changes, in the long run I am confident that it will improve gameplay and result in a better experience.

I haven't seen anything on the training tab for the video ad. Where is it?

If the health bars are at 100%, I don't think you will see any

Yes you can only access the videos from a mobile app. Phone or tablet.

That’s fair to ramp it up. But 2% means it’s not really worth the time to click an add. I think 5% a driver would. I would then need to watch 3 adds to train once. At the moment one add will not help anything.

This is not ungrateful it’s just making a realistic point.
