Does this including money won from raiding/attacking or just IPH of money buildings......not very clear.....lol

I think they will count revenue from raids and attacks. Otherwise it would be pointless.

bigflan
06-01-2012, 05:28 PM
Mine is at 180k an hour

I WILL NOT WIN

I WILL TRY

I will try because I have nothing to lose and if I win well I'm just surprised but it's not happening

They should make a PVP tourney for base raiders, due to the new mind changing game tactics and valor point attack units😝😝😝

If thats true then money lost through attacks/raids surely counts to right? lol too much guess work for me, going to sit this one out and hope i get the item for the last soon lol

Seems a bit of a pointless tournament taken at face value.

Only way I could get the income up is to spend a heck of a lot of Gold (not going to happen)

The only other dynamics I wonder about is if income from Missions, Raids and Attacks is also included in the outcomes....then it makes it interesting....

I would like a answer from a dev on this. Is it income per hour from your buildings or income per hour from attacking/raiding? Looking for someone I clarify.

JMC
06-01-2012, 06:30 PM
They call it the "highest hourly revenue". That sure sounds a lot like just someone's income per hour to me. If stuff like raids and missions counted, it would also count how many times you collected your buildings and stuff, seems a bit too complicated for them to want to do that.

JohnnyR
06-01-2012, 06:32 PM
Boring....

Thunder Child
06-01-2012, 06:33 PM
Seems clear to me - income from your base plus whatever you can steal from raids and attacks, and anything you can earn in missions! What's not clear about that? And there obviously IS action to be taken: attack, raid, do missions, LEVEL UP!

Me?

Ignoring the whole thing!

It does say something about "resourceful leaders". I think it's ALL the income you bring in. I want those stats, so I'm going to give it a shot assuming it is and if I'm ranking tomorrow, I'll keep it up.

I've never seen anything else in the game with that defense score.

Admiral Farragut
06-01-2012, 06:40 PM
Yea seems like it would be income from everything compiled over the next few days and divided by the amount of hours the tourney goes on for, to make the numbers manageable

Q Raider

Must be that way TC otherwise why put in the "ON TO BATTLE" bit at the bottom of the advert (ok, could be an oversight from the last advert I guess).

Forgotten cause for me no matter which way I look at it. If I give it a crack thinking that raids and missions count then I will just end up over level 100 by the end and I am pretty sure I cannot get into the top 500 against that level of opposition.

Still reckon Dreno is in for a good shot at one. They better give him a few cans of insect spray to go with it though cause it will just get cobwebs sitting in his inventory:p

Highest hourly revenue = including raids and collection? Or just the IPH?

It's everything combined right now I bring in 400k not bad for a hour

Khimsoo
06-01-2012, 06:51 PM
If it includes missions, then those with 30% more cash from mission would have added advantage. :/ :) :D including myself. Hopefully I can make it.

The prize is a great beast but won't die for it like casualty. Let's see the leaderboard or mark's post for more info.

If it did include raid/attack/mission cash-it would be nice to say so in the pop up.

Also, a leaderboard would be nice.

Agreed, we need an official post from Funzio that explains what the criteria is for winning. The popup is not clear and could be interpreted more than one way.

Not trying to complain, but it would be nice if they gave some kind of sense that they put time into planning these things and gave some notice to the events, explained what they are, how to win, and provided a way to track status in the event. Instead, we get... "ready, set, ... we started 17 hours ago... and by the way, you don't know how to win, but go get'em tiger because the event is already 1/3 over."

Agreed. They need to be more in their feet about these tourneys and more informative. I mean how hard is it for a dev to make 1 little post in announcements or in here
somewhere, to give us full info about this.

Just emptied a full clip of Stam on raids and attacks just to be sure I will keep doing this untill I know for sure.

1. the forum is running super slow for me. earlier it wouldnt even work at all. this happening for anyone else?

2. I'm 99% sure it is strictly based on the income per hour your base generates. otherwise the event pop up would simply say "whoever makes the most money by the deadline wins". instead it specifically says highest hourly revenue. which is obviously talking about the stat on our profile that says income per hour.

3. i believe the competition is harder to win if you are under lvl 100. all the campers with high incomes are still below lvl 100. look at copenhagen, and enjoylife. those guys are lvl 60. i'd much rather be above lvl 100 for this, but there is no way for me to jump 10 lvls in 3 days.

4. they are hoping people will splurge on gold and build a bunch of gold money buildings. since their build time is instant, its the only way to raise your income in a short time

Yes. If they just SLOWED DOWN and let us catch our breath between events they'd have the time to put a well thought out event together with clear and concise instructions/win conditions. I'm in the PST zone and I never saw a message that this event was on until well into the afternoon, and I was logging in every half hour to hour at work today.

06-01-2012, 08:53 PM
The description on the CC screen seems a bit more specific" The players with the highest hourly income from money buildings will win" If that's the case then they should hand out the prizes now. People's iph isn't going to change much in 2 days. Most players with a high income most likely have something upgrading already. It's not like they're to see this & say, Oh crap, I better upgrade something! Even if they did, chances are the upgrade wouldn't finish before the event! So, one could use gold to speed up the timers,but why do that unless you know what you shooting for? Hence the need for a leaderboard.
The KA event screen looks like a "Failed to connect to server. " popup MSG. Lol

EatSleepFly
06-01-2012, 08:53 PM

I find it outrageous that Funzio has started another tournament without an announcement and before they've even fixed or distributed the prize of their previous event. This tournament is also poorly designed and puts many players at a disadvantage-regardless of whether hourly revenue means the cash generated by your buildings or includes money earned from raids/attacks, lower level players are at a severe disadvantage.(Imagine a lvl 20 player trying to compete with a lvl 90)

HOLY*****ANDMOANFESTBATMAN!?!(*)(@#$&*(_@#

are you serious?

hey guys, I'm no whale or pirate or anything special, but if we continue to look through the problem-solving lens that funzio (a real company that has to make real money materialize out of whining forum users and iOS users alike) has to look through every day we'll see the answer to most of our questions more clearly. Where's my unit? Why the casualty rate? When will I get in game chat, search, buttwipe, nuclearflowerpowercheerleaderswhoareinvsible? Why doesn't CCM mark come to my birthday?!?!!

Let's pretend your middle manager man @ Funzio. Investors dump cash in your company. You put out super-successful iOS games, billions of people download it, millions play it, hundreds of thousands continue to play it, thousands spend money on it, hundreds spend serious bank on it. dozens whine about the item they didn't receive or who stupid an event is or explain how completely pointless it is.

Is it really pointless, or are you just mad that it's not the yougetfreeinstantbuildingupgradesinvincibilityandi nvisibility b/c U write hundreds of forum posts / day event?

Funzio somehow has to move the freebies and cheapies into the deeper waters so that the fatties can feed. This event does that. The last event does that. All of the events that you participate in do that. Everything but straight up pitching a tent in MW does this.

Can we just be grateful that there's another event that gives us yet ANOTHER chance for MORE indestructible units for FREE? Sure you didn't get your latest GETTOTHECHOPPA unit yet, but you will. You KNOW you will. What if you don't? Will anyone believe funzio anymore? Seriously, they've got tons more trust to lose than you do in this scenario. They're going to GIVEYOUTHECHOPPA, later, probably.

wish i would have known this event was about to start. started my lvl 10 CF upgrade yesterday. over 100 hrs!! lol oh well. i think at 405k i should be in the top 500.

FUNZIO: if you would have let me know ahead of time i would have got a couple gold money buildings and upgraded them. now i wont be able to upgrade them so theres no point in buying them.

@Tanner - Please do not clump the simple expectations that the rules of the game be explained or that a businees have there product/event prepared with atleast a logo or the prize identified (KA) before launching, with that of crazy people demanding there made-up unit be added. What is the harm in waiting a day or two to work out the bugs before launching the event. Some of us are paying for this game and are disappointed with the quality and performance of Funzio in recent days.

I worked out that I could catch up by using around 80,000 Gold.......therefore I'm 100% confident I am not in the running for this one:p

Way I looked at it was simply I didn't qualify for this event....I've had top result in the last two so not complaining.

Do think they need to be a little more pro-active in the alert phase for these things though.

I'm afraid guys,
they judge by income per hour, because CC is having the same event and it says income per hour over there,loud and clear.
It is nearly impossible to calculate all the money you generate in three days from all players actions.


Hopefully I will win all three event items in CC MW and KA. :).
I'm not sure if 360k income is good.

Half-a s s ed like everything else lately. They're just throwing this stuff out there. Wonder if they are having issues with revenue, though I don't see how an unannounced 2 day event for an activity that takes months improves their bottom line.

I think people wold be less stressed about events if they gave a clue about plans for them. They seem to just be throwing them out there non stop for some reason.

I'd say one of the main reasons is to induce in-app purchases. You would assume an announced and well thought out event would create more of a profit though...oh well just along for the ride.

Maybe one reason the stats are so high is because there is no bonus. But that bonus would make sense manbeast.

I still don't know if it is total hourly income which is total income divided by the tournement hour or if it is only base income! If it is total income then cash purchase, raids, attacks on non vaulted cash and base income would be the source of income!

I think those above 100 have low IPH, I see many below 100 here claiming they have high IPH. I raided 100 so far and all belo 400k in 118 above region.

Hope my 502K is good. I don't see why this is a 2 day tourney though. Good buildings take 72 or so to upgrade. Guess if you aren't using your head then you miss out, those who are smart win.

Funny how all those gold users who don't have money buildings won't get it. :p

Front Runner NL
06-02-2012, 01:58 AM
Guess they count your best hour in this period. So, do not farm your buildings for some time and then farm them all at once and do lot raiding in that same hour.

Hope my 502K is good. I don't see why this is a 2 day tourney though. Good buildings take 72 or so to upgrade. Guess if you aren't using your head then you miss out, those who are smart win.

Funny how all those gold users who don't have money buildings won't get it. :p

I miss the part where if we dont use our heads then we couldnt win??
I personally think this event is to award all of you who have been playing long time with this game..
Lets imagine newbies (me included) that have spent awhile on this game, we obviously couldnt compete in IPH to all of you who have been playing, maybe since last year, because the time to upgrade money buildings is the same throughout all players..so I sucked big time at this event, because my IPH is currently only at 150kph
This in itself dont require us to use our head much isnt it??because if you have been playing long enough, and were upgrading your money building consitently, then you could win! That simple...
IF you are in my position, and you're smart enough, what advice could you give me to have a chance in winning this event?(please dont say buy more gold, cause its not gonna happen)

Maybe it's not strictly based on IPH but how much you actually collect. Your IPH might be high but if you are sleeping you aren't collecting money. maybe the key is to constantly collect money for the next two days. also it says the commander with highest hourly revenue will be rewarded for their resourcefulness. which leads me to believe raids and battles are included.

Sure it is on IPH.

It is unfortunate that this will result in most of the prizes going to campers who play the game in an extreme fashion rather than any dedicated player who plays in a balanced fashion.

Also, did land upgrades used to be cheaper? My economic development has stalled because the cost to expand, plus cost of new building means it would take months to make a return, do cash is better spent upgrading when I have chance.

Started in January, under level 100 and on $240k/h atm. Can get a couple of upgrades out before the event ends but hardly going to be a game changer. I'm higher than most I see, but between the campers and those who have played the game long enough that the conditions have changed I doubt I stand a chance.

As mentioned.... A leader board to tell me if it is worth pushing for an extra few k/h would make this event more interesting.

So basically the only way to 'increase' your chances is to upgrade or build money buildings (which given the events time is near to impossible) ?

Arj
06-02-2012, 05:53 AM
How often you collect has to be a huge factor right?

How many people even collect 3 hour buildings 24/7?

150k iph is better then a 250k iph if the first is collecting alot more often then the 2nd?

Most major upgrades require 44 hours and high cash like the nanos. None can be done without cash or gold purchase! I wish it was raid and total money it would have been more fun.

Tai
06-02-2012, 06:12 AM
I assume from this it has not yet been confirmed whether raiding and attacking is involved or not ?
The idea that crossed my mind is that along the days of the event your incomes are added to eachother (spendings or losses not being calculated into the total) and at the end of the event, this total gets devided by 48 (two days, 24 hours). Technically this shouldn't be too hard too do. Pardon me if this thought has already passed the thread.

But then there's the explanation from Crime City wich mentions the IPH statistic (I don't actually play CC but I saw this somewhere in the thread).

Arizona
06-02-2012, 06:19 AM
All this speculation on how the top 500 is calculated will only be resolved when there's a leaderboard up. Is there one yet?
My opinion, it's based on cash income from raids, attacks, defending, missions, building "collections". I wouldn't assume just cos you might have a huge IPH that you'll do well.

It's income per hour, plain and simple. If you have a good income per hour you will get it if you don't bad luck. I have mw cc and KA and they all practically say the same thing. It certainly doesn't include raids, pvp or pve or it would say.

Income per hour as your statistic? meaning collection of money from your own buildings has no play either?

Too complicated, they struggled with the last event. My view is this is a way funzio are trying to keep long term customers happy by giving them something for free. Shame people play the game differently and don't always upgrade buildings. Its pretty clear on cc as it states income per hour from money buildings.

Then what's the point of this "competition"?
Therefore, it's already settled before it's begun. Just go through a list of the top 500 IPH players and hand out prizes. You have 2 days to increase your income per hour, WOW! Most buildings take longer to be of any value to upgrade.
Stupid idea for a competition. (Assuming you are right).

they want people to spend roughly 2k gold buying all the gold money buildings. they have instant build times. and w/ 451k you are a shoe in, so i dont see why you dont like it.

rewards players who have been smart and using the spreadsheet. also ones who have been playing for a long time. i've been playing since the end of January. havent upgrades any money buildings in a month though, been working on boost buildings

That is why i'm wondering if it's not income collected durning event. That why everyone has a chance.

Sure some who have high IPH stat have an advantage but I want to see them collect those lvl 10 supply depot's 12 times an hour and 288 times a day to get full value

I desagree if it's just IPH stat then it reward people who upgrade quick turn around building just to pad a stat even though there is no way they can collect it everytime it comes up.

In all of my guys threw out all 3 games CC, MW and KA I don't have great IPH stats but that is cuase I only focus on upgrading 12, 24 or 48 hour building. Over the long haul I player is way better off whit these ones high but they don't increase you IPH stat as fast.

@Manbeast...
...I don't have any or intend buying gold $ buildings. It's not really resourceful having instant upgrades if you have to pay real $ to do it. (We could be arguing the definition of resourceful vs efficiency here). I can see your point though, as Funzio will see it as another source of income for themselves; people buying gold for instant upgrades. Hey, I hope you and the others are right. I might stand a chance, I just don't see it as being very strategic thinking.
Call it something else and say, "you 500 players have shown your resourcefulness over the months, here's a bonus prize".

I'm going to play this one like is the income per hour stat as it is likely the same as the CC/KA events and the wording in those games is a little bit more obvious.

I started upgrade of solar array to lev 5. It takes less than 24 hours and needs 63 gold. One can do such upgrades that will finish before deadline but if IPH actually made is counted no upgrades would matter though hardly you can ncollect. It is just not clear!

JMC
06-02-2012, 09:23 AM
Probably income per hour and they made the event actually last a few days, so that anyone with an upgrade in progress could have it finish before the event was over and give themselves a little boost.

Not like it'd help that much though. They just needed an idea for an event that rewards someone for having gone with a certain strategy/done a certain amount of work, rather than the complete luck of crate & part events.

This unit is collectively above 700 points that is worth 1350 gold. How much upgrade can you do with that? Was it even 5 minutes a gold? You need to get 650 gold and 650 cash for the upgrades if you already don't have. At most you can do 2 nano upgrade to level 2 or 3 oil rig upgrade worth of the prize. That is an increase of 38000 per hour in IPH which is really not much. I can accept 100 gold spent for upgrades and I sometimes do that but not 650 or 1350 for it.

06-03-2012, 05:35 PM
It may be just me but I think it is all income, not IPH. For example, in CC the event says "... collected from money buildings. Technically raids are income collected from money buildings while attacks are not collected from money buildings. Also, the definition of revenue is "gross income from a business enterprise, investment, property, etc." courtesy of thefreedictionary.com. So revenue is all income collected. This makes me think that this is actually a raiding tournament and that IPH may be a boost to some of the lower levels that spent time on economy vs. building army. Just my two cents. My IPH is $431,263.

Anyone else with a BDF notice that your casualty rate when being raided is a lot higher than when being attacked? I am losing 1 or 2 units when being attacked vs. 3-6 when being raided. It is reversed when I am attacking and raiding with more losses from raiding than attacking.

This may not be the case, but dont forget that when your raided, the news feed will just quote the amount you lost as long as he didnt lose a raid inbetween. So when you lose 3-6 units, check to see how many times he actaully hit you. I had someone take 80k cash from raiding me last night, but he hit like 6 different low money buildings lol I cant see how he made any money from it, his casulties must of been substantial after 18 raid attacks lol

Arj, it depends on what A/D difference is between you and him. In my case not considering my opponent boosT buildings which anyway doesn't show up in his stat. If the opponents on average defence is half mine I don't loose anything raiding buildings. I hit small as well though I just want to unload the attack points.
