Did they finally nerf the M4A1?! I guess this means I won't be able to get the 20 more that I need. That's 160 defense that I will miss out on :(

Someone better check the situation with DDs. With only another $5M to spend before I unlock Leila, I will feel pretty ripped off if that was nerfed too. I could have had a hotel by now and have a condo instead because of paying off Leila.

A bit harsh on those of us who haven't farmed a full 500 regular ones then, those who have a full compliment will have quite an advantage going forward. Next thing will be double deckers dropping to mini buses I suppose!

If this is permanent I don't understand why Funzio would do this. What's the point? It's not a glitch or a cheat. It's simply a strategy. If people want to invest 6 months doing nothing but farming m4's what's the harm in that?

Funzio seems so worried about keeping a level playing field so why would they totally screw those people that haven't farmed all the m4's yet?

I just don't understand nerfs in endless games like this.... You just piss off the player base. Just create something more powerful and advance the game creating whatever adjusted rates you want. Allowing non-gold players to come nearer old gold buyers will stimulate gold buyers to buy more over time. Of course, the last event left most gold buyers untouchable and now this nerf to m4s means the gap has widened significantly.

This is just bad business. You need both gold buyers and non-gold buyers to make this game work.

Actually they only need gold buyers to make the game work, the none gold buyers are a secondary market who they hope eventually get so pissed off that they buy gold to compete or be canon-fodder for the gold players to enjoy beating.

The problem with that viewpoint is that PLENTY of gold buyers have farmed M4's and were farming them till last night, myself included.

So they have pissed off a lot of gold buyers in trying to stick it to non-gold buyers.(if that was their reason)

Frankly, I dont see the nerfing of weapons as much of a gold/non-gold issue.

Its more of a customer service/business issue and they just blew it in both categories IMO.

@CounterSniper - It affects gold players b/c we can't make a viable strategy stick in this game. Now strategies need to be adjusted, but it becomes a huge timesuck when it takes MONTHS to expand a hood, build and upgrade revenue streams only to learn you're strategy won't sustain you in higher levels. At that point one has to decide if the want to continue spending RM over and above their time.

CJ Sniper
03-13-2012, 06:58 AM
***Long rant warning***

The thing is, I'm willing to be a gold buyer, within reason. I sunk $20 in crates a few weeks ago and felt it was worth it in the low levels. And paying $20 for an iOS app is hard to justify considering I have purchased dozens for $0-5 that have as much depth or time invested in them. It's getting crazy what I am going to need at the higher levels though, I'm already starting to get slapped around by people who've paid thousands. Taking this small carrot away from me was pretty much the only thing I had to look forward to now as the goals and missions are all pointless, and playing the game just for the slow progress of building up income isn't enough to justify the time invested. Hope there's some good news with this nerf or a lot of people are going to start to realize that at its core this game is really just a clone of a thousand other mobster games with better graphics.

But the devs are going to be constantly refining the game, adding here, taking away there. That is how online games have always been. This not going to be the last big change that is made.

I like the planning and "strategic" aspect of the game, that's why I have spent so much on it. But if there are constant changes in game mechanics then all planning goes out the window and the game becomes basically pointless. Nerfing M4 farming, a cruel joke indeed. Perhaps they are trying to reduce the number of players. If so, they are really doing a great job.

I've tried a number of locations now, all rusty crap!

This does look like a complete replacement for the M4A1, not just for a few of the drop sites :S

This issue was enough for me to register an account on here to make my views known

There's nothing that comes close (non-gold) to the 20/22 stats... put simply they're *******s. If they wanted to even out the playing field, lower the drop rates don't completely remove it! This is pobably enough for me to quit.

This seems so obvious to players. With advances in gamification, and the business adage that preserving a customer is much more profitable than acquiring a new one, I'm surprised there isn't more investment in sustainability. It's a discipline that translates naturally to social gaming.

My beef isn't the M4 persay, it's the inability to affect a winning strategy in volatile environment. And the encironment isn't dynamic because of foreseeable trends that give savvy players an edge, things change at the whim of a Funzio product manager. That's not 'fun' and not the kind of game that merits player investment.

This is in the context of players scheming for an advantage in an evolving environment. Nerfing isn't evolution. If Funzio introduced a new comparable weapon or adjusted drop odds or changed drop locations, that would be different. My hope is that is what has happened here and yet to be discovered.

Meanwhile, we'll see if unpredictable game mechanics yield more profit for Funzio or not.

Agreed. This isn't a sustainable business strategy. Players can't invest in the game long term because they can't devise a play strategy that follows this randomly moving target. About the time a player comes up with a plan and just starts to implement it, the winds change and they have to nix their plan. Personally, this is burning me out. I'm $220 in, but am seriously considering saying peace out and moving on.

I'm amazed that so many of us tolerate the long build/upgrade/expansion times. Imagine the level of engagement if regularly introduced new equipment and buildings. I think this is a big part of what makes this a strategic vs action game, and all the more frustrating when changing game dynamics undermine strategies that take months to employ.

So are the Rusty M4's showing up on the 2.2 version only? Is anybody still playing 2.1.3? I've been playing 2.1.3 and not one M4 has dropped at Boardwalk in probably close to 30 attempts.

So did Funzio replace the M4 with the Rusty M4 in the 2.2 version and then just completely eliminate the drops altogether in 2.1.3?

I know saying this will make me a pariah amongst this forum, but I have no issue with this change. I only have 265 or so M1's, so nowhere near the 500 (I found the forum way too late), but the change for me removes some of the boredom. Plus it will eventually even things up for me against some of my rivals who have lots of M4's from farming, but no economy to speak of. The economy for me will be able to equalize their stats.

Think of if you are funzio, watching every player guarantee themselves upwards of 1000 atk/def simply from farming a single location. I would imagine that their intent of the game is that drops are supposed to a nice pleasant addition to the game, rather than the main source of atk/def sourcing. Why wouldn't they want to change it up?

As I read earlier, longer term players have undergone many such changes, and they survived. A dynamic game holds interest longer. That is a fact.

Now, has the entire drop spreadsheet changed, or just the M4? Let's jump to the next step and figure out what is next best. The layer community will likely adapt faster than the developers who are trying to stay ahead of it.

Now, has the entire drop spreadsheet changed, or just the M4? Let's jump to the next step and figure out what is next best. The layer community will likely adapt faster than the developers who are trying to stay ahead of it.

All I really want to know is whether or not the M249 Machine Gun is loot able/farmable. I have more M4A1s than I need when attacking rivals, but I could have used a few more for defense. The M249 seems like it would be a good substitute with a defense score of 23, one better than the M4A1.

Other than that, I am content to move on to DDs at this point, even though I am being forced to go that route a few days earlier than I had planned. I have 5 DDs already and I have had access to Leila for less than 6 hours.

I had 69 M4's before the nerf. My entire game plan is screwed over. Not even 1/4 to my goal of 499 (Military Assault Rifle)... Got one rusty M4 today. What now?

For anybody that cares, I went outside of the normal support route and emailed a contact at Funzio that I had emailed with numerous times in the past. He has always been extremely helpful. I just informed him that this decision has caused quite an uproar on the forum and many players are upset both because of the decision itself but also because it was done completely out of the blue with no explanation. I simply asked him why Funzio chose to make this decision.

He emailed back right away and said that it wasn't his call, but he would forward my email directly to the design team to get a clear explanation. Hopefully I get a response because it would be nice to hear the reasons why they did this right from the horse's mouth.

Just got a rusty one myself. It's what prompted me to look at the boards.

Not sure, but I found a similar pattern of rusty guns back in 2011. Perhaps the pursuit of our beloved gun is simply going through the "circle of life" and will return again?

Fat hope...they did this to the mossbergs and the M4A1s, and in more than half a year of playing, they have not provided any better cash weapons...with the M4A1 gone, the options for non-gold strategy has shrunk further. Funzio's strategy is obvious. They have moved into a phase of milking the game for maximum quick profits now.

I'm sure its a glitch and funzio will want your reports ASAP.

They like "fixin" things around here.

So are the Rusty M4's showing up on the 2.2 version only? Is anybody still playing 2.1.3? I've been playing 2.1.3 and not one M4 has dropped at Boardwalk in probably close to 30 attempts.

So did Funzio replace the M4 with the Rusty M4 in the 2.2 version and then just completely eliminate the drops altogether in 2.1.3?
About time everyone should realize that DATA IS FETCHED FROM THE SERVER. You can get bugs and multiclicks by playing 2.1.3, but anything loot related is in the data file.

Can we buy Hoppes w/ rp's?

Swifty

That would be a sweet idea. Buy a Hoppe's cleaning kit that transmogrifies your Trusty Rusty into a real M4A1.

Funzio, are you listening?

I realized that as soon as I got a Rusty using 2.1.3.
