L Fizzle and/or Crime City Mark,

Just curious if it is possible for a heads up when we are about to recieve one. They hit us randomly, and I speak for a few of us when I say there has been a time or two where we have purchased gold a few hours before a sale started. It would also be nice so we can prepare financially opposed to spur of the moment. Maybe a day before notice..?

I am sure many would appreciate it.

Thanks,

-WP

I'll second that. For example, should we wait until Friday night?

+1 Happy to spend on gold, but I do like to plan that spend a bit. A day or two's notice would be useful.

I don't recall what game had the latest sale. Was it CC?

Yes, it was CC and I'll third that request!

Ah, so we should be getting ours next then. Hopefully soon...

Yes, soon!

I hope not within the next few days. I just bought more gold a few minutes ago. I am at a new record for myself of 26,250 gold on hand. :)

You know how hard it is not to spend it..!

I can understand why they don't put up an in-game warning, because most of the players worldwide aren't active forum users, right? If they don't know any better, they don't know to complain. So a heads up on here would be like an extra VIP hookup, and cut down on the public whining. So win-win, right?

Sorry, I should have just said "I AGREE!!"

You must have amazing control. Not just will power, but hand-eye coordination. When I have thousands on hand I make two mistakes all the time.
1) Accidental fat-fingers or double taps to buy, upgrade, or refill bars I didn't mean to. And
2) Impulsive buys like just one more 3-pack of crates... 10 times in a row. Or resetting timers in events, just because I can.

So... my hat is off to you for your restraint!

I have expeirenced both, but have overcome. Once I had 7K on hand and just went crazy and upgraded and instantly finished building upgrades. I have also learned to make slow, precise movements when on the game due to accidental instant upgrades, vault upgrades, and LE unit purchases. Haha

I hope you are getting interest on it. Props on the dicipline to sit on it. It appears that your temptation is not burning through the G on units and upgrades. Your vice is buying the gold.

Dont think they r going to reveal tht info. I sent a pm to one of the devs asking bout it few days ago but got no reply ��

+1 to gold sales. I need more gold bar so i can get that Blackbird Jet and Jungle SAM at the same time!!!

I get a works bonus on Friday so a gold sale tomorrow would be good, that way I can catch up to WP, I only have 26000 more gold bars to go lol

This way they maximise profit from people who don't know about the sales or who can't wait for sale, it also makes people buy more in the sale then they get tempted to use it and do buy more , clever system to keep you buying :)

+1, If they would have the sale during events I think they would get tons of more buyers as well, those that usually don't spend on gold would say, hey eff it I got 9 I'm going for 10.... and then they're hooked on buying gold..

LE's, crates, and events.

How is that unfair? That is called advantage. We also have the advantage of winning free LE's and knowing about events before hand and non forum members don't.

By the way, once I have sent a ticket asking for a sale and they said they should shortly but don't hold them to it. So I have recieved a reply asking that question.

They will reply. I sent in a ticket Sunday and it wasn't answered until I sent CC Mark a PM yesterday.

Oh no, i'm not talking bout ticket. All my tickets were dealt with in a timely manner. I'm talking bout pm.
Neway, tht's not wht i'm trying to say. I was saying tht they might not want to reveal the exact date for gold sales.

Hmm... I don't see why they would ignore you over it, when they can simply say I can't tell you.

Anyways that is the point of this thread, in hopes we will get a yes or no answer.

For you experienced gold buyers I got a question, how is gold billed when you buy it? Through your iTunes account?Or do you have to provide a card.

There is no simple answer to this. It does go through your iTunes account, so if you have a balance there from gift cards, it will use that first. If you don't have a balance, or go over it, then it will go to your credit card or checking account, or whatever you have on file. **ALSO** Don't forget there is sales tax on those transactions! So if you saved up exactly the amount you need, add an extra few bucks for tax.

7% which really adds up when you buy $500 or more in gold... a week...
