Dont know whats going on, tried to rob a guy with little over 100 mil def, i got 300 mil attack and still lost ???
I dont haveenough kingpinbulls*** i guess.
I dont mind if gree introduces new stuff but let us know how it works before introducing.
For what i understand from it ( by trying to rob/ attack several rivals and loose every fight) we gotta start over at 0 from now on, stats didnt mean much lately but since mr kingpin came, they mean nothing at all.

Dippy was right ! They should have just wiped current stats and said lets start over!

I get the idea that the accomplices and kingpin power come into play now, but the weights of their impact seem way to high...virtually eliminating the attack stats that we worked so hard and spent so much time and money building. As Eddies example shows unless we pay through the nose to get these new accomplices our attack and defense stats are worthless. Hopefully GREEdy will make some adjustments to the weighing

It's cos there's effectively 3 separate battles going on in any attack now. The simple way of looking at it is you won on normal stats but lost on accomplice and kingpin. However it's a bit more detailed. From reading the intel floating around the battles are comprised of 100 "points" (or %) 50 for stats, 30 for accomplice and 20 for kingpin. So taking the top battle above

Stats: (depends on your def and his att but let's say you won) 35-15
Accomplices: This was ugly, maybe a 3-27 loss at best
Kingpin: A smaller loss, maybe 8-12.

That would still give you an overall loss 46-54, and I was probably being quite generous with the 35-15. If you hadn't assigned so many to kingpin, you probably would have shaded it.

FYI I don't like the new system either.

Your original stats will (should) be relevant when you are in battles. For the pvp attacking and robbing, the only stat I have seen that makes a difference is the mafia attack vs def that u get from NOT assigning accomplices to kingpin. If a player has 1 point for mafia attack and u have 0, u will lose when attacked (and vice versa if u attack with 0 vs 1). I have multiple accounts and have tried other combinations. The NON ASSIGNED ACCOMPLICES are the only thing that seem to make a difference right now.

Not sure if this is what gree meant to do but this is how it seems to be working for now.

You lose two out of three so not a huge surprise you lost. Lower your kinping power since this count the least. And buf your ATK from mafia accomplices, by changing your team. Accomplices you dont assign automatically join your mafia ATK.

Once assigned you can't remove accomplices from the Kingpin team.... yet!

Losing two of three doesn't necessarily mean you lose, as there's also the weighting to consider - stats are 50%, mafia accomplices 30% and kingpin 20%. If your stats are big enough vs the rival you can still win, even losing the other two (provided they aren't equally superior in either of those to you).

Earlier today a guy attacked me and lost. I hit him back and won. My attack is over 200% of his defence; his attack is about 150% of my defence. Our kingpins are equal, accomplices we both have the LTQ Normal 7/15 character which is 6/4 stats. It's just a question of figuring out the algorithms to give the best chance of success. It was said in the AMA that the stats for defender's attack vs your defence also play a part in things now. Get to number crunching!!

What they've basically done with PVP matches is that they've setup a cage fight to the death with an mma fighter and a 98 pound weakling, but now they've handed the weakling a loaded .45 pistol. That's how matchups with weaker players statswise work now.

you aren't using 50% of your mafia attk/def. Most are using 0%. Something is broken. The formula they said they would be using is not accurate right now. It's not even close. Right now i can only beat players with less accomplice/kingpin than i have regardless of stats. I am losing to players that have a def 1/4 of my attk. There is no way the 50% stat thing is right. There is no possible situation where i lose to someone 145mil def when i am 640 mil attk. No math works. Fix it before you are flooded with legitimate refunds.

That's not how it works. Each category has an outcome. The mafia category's outcome is -100% to 100% based on how badly you win or lose. That outcome is weighed at 50%.

Proof that they have their heads in the sand. For some reason the reports of things not working properly are interpreted by Gree as nothing more than crying about change.

You should win 94% of the time. So attacking 20 times SHOULD give you 1 loss.

It would be more useful if you attack 20 times and see what percentage you win.

That 94% number is using the old method too, who knows what they use now. Maybe to get 100% wins you multiply your attack by 0.6 instead of 0.8. Who the heck knows.

But again, it would be interesting to know if this would be the 1 in 20 loss that you would expect using the old system of 0.8 attack anyways.

You can't look at attack stats during war. That was a power attack as well. Seriously devs any answer?

His calculation is very close, EEE got 11 total points for Accomplice and Kingpin. Can't really tell the points for total mafia stats because opponent's attack is not shown. You need more than 50 points to win to have a chance at winning a match, EEE's total mafia attack needs to be 4x the total stats of his opponent to win this one.

Mafia stats still matter, just not as much as before.

Your total points for accomplice and Kingpin is 27, so you will need at least 24 more points. It is likely the opponent's total mafia attack is more than yours.

Yes, his def was probably higher than your defence and his attack was probably higher than your attack. So you probably lost the top category. It only shows your att vs his def but that's no longer the whole story.

I hate this whole kingpin stuff too - the joy i got from this game was from robbing - i loved to rob - keyword - loved. now i can't do anything. Gree has robbed me of my joy now. I won't reiterate what was already said bout pouring $ into stats - i agree w/ that...

as for this kingpin stuff - idc if gree has intro'd a new style of play nor even lacked to tell us how it works - i mean - we are talking about gree here. but what i hope Gree could do - is maybe just apply these accomplices to PVP events - if they bring those back that is. Just use them during PVP events - and NOT during everyday robbing and attacking etc... I think if Gree did this, ppl who wanted to do PVP would and wanted to do box to earn them would - gree would still make money, and if the rest of us could have robbing go back to normal during non-pvp events - maybe that would make us all happier. I know it would make me happier...i may be more apt to try PVP IF it was like this - but since it isn't - we're all in the same boat that's sinking.

Do get an average. If I beat him in 50 and he beats me in 50..then it's either a tie which isn't an option or I win exactly half the time and lose exactly half the time (mathematically anyways)

That's messed up. GREE isn't telling us everything. You should win AT LEAST 20% of the time since you destroy the Kingpin Power section. The mafia attack section can be explained by maybe your def and the rival attack being taken into consideration.

Accomplice is close, so let's even give GREE that one and say you lose completely with that.

But seriously, why didn't you win at least 20% of the time? Your Kingpin Power DESTROYS your rival's.

IMO, this is one to bring up at the next AMA. Unless someone else can explain your 0-20?

It would help if one more line was added to the popup after an attack. If they would add a line showing the total for the attacker and defender instead of just three different numbres, we would be able to see what the true attack and defense is. Would make it easier to have a battle during war as well.

Jeronimo
12-30-2014, 04:59 PM
Seems like the new system has to do with especially chance. According to all the pictures that I've seen so far it turns out that the players that are attacked are most likely to win the fight, independent from their stats. We might find the algorithm if people start updating their results (win or lose) and when they win or lose update what their stats were and what the opponents stats were; maybe there's a threshold value.
