Top 250/25, top prize increases mafia cap by FIVE!

Wow. :rolleyes:

Top 250 is another +100 attack skill bonus.

Question about the extremely vague top 25 prize. Currently the mafia cap is 500... Or are they referring to the mafia cap of 5 per level?

Taking 1000 mafia into battle would be huge. Completely out of my free price range, but there would be 25 giants walking around out there with an absolutely ridiculous and unmatchable advantage.

Game breaking if that is the case.

Nope, just started the game as usal und there it was.

Regarding top 25 bonus. Its kinda lame compared to the last one. Plus five mafia is a 1% increase at best and that assumes perfect items for all mafia which is totaly unlikely. Realisticly its more a 0.2 to 0.5 percent boost.

That may or may not be it. If it was only by 5 mafia(500-505) then the people would only compete for the end weapon because of its stats. If it was mafia doubled then Funzio would make a larger profit since many people would be competing to be come ridiculously strong.

I think it means going from 500 to 505. If that is the case it is completley underwhelming.

I will only say this... I spent around 600 gold bars maybe more and did t end up in top 500. Granted about 200 of those gold bars could have been spent more wisely (no gold resets, etc.). Best gauge is to wait a couple days and see what happens.

Last time 27 chips yielded me 276 spot at 182 level with about 1000 gold spent 1 day late for event.
I won't spend this time around.

Usual suspects in top 10. Rich getting richer :)

Well last time I was pretty optimistic even though I spent most of the time outside of the top 500... I assume about 150-200 people got the prize for free. So they cut it down to 250 people. Well... it's a gold event now, that's for sure!

DenZ1

You know what is the most retarded thing? I think I can already make a list who is gonna be top 25 and be wrong for just about 15%.

Without these weapons, we have a measurable disadvantage with game play and simply defending our hoods. We can't ignore them, can't win them... what's left is boring and extremely time consuming.

Well it's obvious you can't win the 250/25 prizes without stacks of gold or insane good luck, that's why I'm not going to completely ignore these events, I'm just opening boxes when I want to, and I don't feel the pressure that I felt in the last event to finish in the 500 or 50.
I'm pretty sure that with cash option you'll finish with 15-20 katanas. That's fine by me.

Same for me. I saved a lot of money last event and what I did spend went to crates.


I'm not worried about missing out on the wallet event weapons. I already missed out on the M4a1s that others farmed for months before the nerf, so if that doesn't screw me over for the HLs, nothing will. ;) Then again, if GREEd keeps making it abundantly clear that it's only interested in creating new content to get the heavy spenders to spend more and ignore making more game content for free or casual spenders as well, I probably won't even make it to HLs to find out.

With our game population, event prizes are officially gold only. Let the auction begin!

This is a letdown Funzio... and a strategic error.

PS - Top 25 prize will change as high as 25 extra mafia, as low as 10.

I just spend 2 gold and it gave me Samuari Chests both time and then tried 2 times with medium chains and no one opened, so it feels like last time when I ended up 2 days opened 20 boxes with medium chains and no one opened. Think I will let some other people win this contest that have more money on their credit card than me. I liked the old one better, please change back, than you at least had a fair chance of getting the 3 first and sometimes all 4 and if lucky perhaps the big gun. Last time I ended up with only the first gun after even setting the clock during night time to open :(

frebj591
07-10-2012, 02:04 PM

That's there job, thats what there here to do.

I can feel a gold sale coming as well. If I were in their shoes, I'd start the sale in 2 days, let the big spenders get their 60 shards( at full price) then drop the prices forcing more competition and forcing the big spenders to buy more.

But that's just me

Illuminati
07-10-2012, 03:36 PM
I can only surmise that they changed the secondary top prize for the top 250 instead of 500 as in the previous event to try and entice players to compete with each other by spending more money on gold. After seeing where #500 ended up last event, I'm not even going to bother trying on this one. In fact, I think this may finally be the thing to cause me to quit this damn game, which has become nothing but a money grab by Funzio/Gree. So much for all the new content like monsters or listening to player feedback and suggestions such as new buildings and new weapons buyable with in-game cash, which would actually make developing an economy have a practical purpose.

Based on the last event, I would expect that you will be very lucky to have more than 300 gold left before all is said and done. Not sure if it will be as crazy but tell us at the end what you spent. I'll be very curious.

Good Luck!

Last I saw reference to Sam's stats was White Frog's thread on Top Attack. Sam was at level 188 with an attack score of 203K He is most likely higher than that now on both stats and level.
