Let me first state that I really enjoy the Crime City game. I'm primarily a console/pc gamer at heart that kinda stumbled onto the mobile gaming world when I download Crime City on my android phone. Instantly I was hooked on the simple turn-based strategy of the game. I found the forum and all the helpful guides and soon I was knee deep into robbing, building, collecting, upgrading, buying, etc.
At first, I could care less about the so-called IOS players advantage of having scratchers, farmed weapons, etc. I just figured it was part of the game. IOS players were the first so kudos to them and eventually android users will catch up. With joint events and scratchers being available to both IOS and android players, free players have the same advantages as free players and gold players have the same advantages as gold players across both platforms.
But with these last two Boss events versus the Android exclusive events, its absolutely disgusting the difference between the two. And I will keep the comparison simple and quick.
1. On a typical joint event, I can get to maybe 22-25 successful openings and get all four event prizes with cash openings with about 30-40 crates remaining at the end of the event. On the last Android exclusive event, i got 15 crates TOTAL in the 4 days as the drop rate was horrendous. So even an android exclusive event is subpar to a normal event.
2. The prizes for the two don't even come close to being equivalent. Just take inventory of any random IOS player who logs their boss achievement and you can compare the hard facts.
5 batons(15/15)
5 pistols(22/11)
6 maces(10/23)
3 vests(18/62)
5 trucks(45/27)
4 grenades(28/58)
2 shotguns(118/78)
2 patrol cars(110/86)
1 chief cruiser(1200+/950).....all that in one FREE 4 day event. Oops, I'm sorry. All that in ONE HOUR!
The funny thing is, I was going to point out all this evidence and what not about the difference between the two but is it really gonna matter!? Does anybody really care!? I know if I was on IOS I probably wouldn't. I don't really care that xbox users have to pay to play online and P3 users don't. I just say for them to get a P3, like IOS users say for android users to get an Iphone.
But one thing rings true no matter where you stand on the issue....a rival you are somewhat equal with and have a friendly war with increases his/her att and def stats by 2000 with a free event, while you raise your stats by maybe 100 from the corresponding 4 event prizes. That is the essence of the problem!
Didn't mean to rant, but it is what it is.
