You can always tell when an MMO is getting ready to release -- the information (some will say hype) machines get cranked up to 11. What you don't always see, though, is the developers of the game in question sitting down to not only tell you about their upcoming game, but to soundly kick each other's butts in-game; a treat we get to see from the Need For Speed World team.
In this latest edition of the Need For Speed World video diaries, we're treated to a look at some of the various buffs that players will have a chance to use on their cars during play. The options range from more obvious things like nitrous for speed, to something called "traffic magnet" which is a bit low on specific details, but we gather is quite handy for getting ahead of the pack. With the release coming soon, we're sure more details will continue to pour out in coming weeks -- hopefully with more devs smack-talking each other! Until then, you can check out all the action in the newest video, just behind the break.

Traffic Magnet could be useful in getting ahead of the pack but it depends. I think it becomes more effective when there is a much larger race packing up the track thus causing a greater chance to cause a traffic jam from everyone trying to dodge stuff.
After doing hundreds of Hot Pursuits, Traffic Magnet pretty much had no effect when used against me. The pedestrian vehicles become fairly easy to predict and evade. But, I'm sure that would have changed if the track was packed with more challengers.
FYI - The video, when played, says that it is for private viewing only.

The F2P fad that we are experiencing in games like these hopefully won't last long. The various buffs will no doubt be purcahsed in the NFS shop, they will obviously enhance your cars performance and therefore your chances of winning.
