Now until 2/4 noon (pst)

Three prizes this time...Top 10 players, 2000 PvP Victories, and 500 Pvp Victories

Any guesses on what it will take to make top 10?

@ Wiggles - its the current event going on in Crime City. Restart your app if you're not seeing it. And this event coincides with the Super Bowl.

I don't understand why they don't make PvP tournaments into leader board events. It would be more fun and they wouldn't have to do jerkwad moves like putting a nice looking prize at 2000 wins, four days worth of free stamina for a goodfella or enforcer(?), and then run the tournament for only three days.

Should have been 1500 wins. They're just milking the medium spenders now instead of only the big spenders. Even 1500 wins would require full dedication by a free player.

If stamina recovery is 2min, 72hours means 2160 stamina, plus lv up, this is a chance for non-gold players to win a 1k attack item!

These prizes are so not worth the tremendous XP it will give in return. I shall not participate to that event. Not a big loss, meh..

Stamina is minimum 2:40 per bullet. 22 per hour X 72 hours is only 1,584 stamina. You'll need a high stamina bar and several level ups to do it for free.

The math for free players:

If you are a tycoon or enforcer class, you get 1 stamina every 3 minutes. That's 20 per hour, 480 per day, if you use every last bullet. Over a three day tournament, with full/100% dedication you can hope for 1,440 wins (if you never lose!) plus whatever you get from level up refills.

If you are agent or goodfella class, you get 1 stamina every 2 minutes 42 seconds. That's 22 per hour, 528 per day, if you use every last bullet. Over a three day tournament, with full/100% dedication you can hope for 1,584 wins (if you never lose!) plus whatever you get from level up refills.

If it's possible to make 2000 offensive PvP wins in three days using zero gold, there will likely be fewer than 10 players across the whole game who actually manage to pull it off.

With this sort of event it becomes hard to ignore juicy money buildings sitting unclaimed in hoods you visit.
Blowing any hope of reaching the PVP goal by taking the quick cash...

Also, it seems those hard earned footballs get lost when attacking buildings.
So, stay away from buildings if you are serious about this.

Come on, this is a 1000/825 item! It definitely cannot be taken for free. IMO, it is reachable with 100 ~ 150 gold.

realsavior
02-01-2013, 01:43 PM
At 1000/825 it is a strong item, but I would have liked to have saw it at 1500 wins. 1500 wins would make it difficult for a free player, but possible.

Big Bad Wolf
02-01-2013, 01:46 PM
100 -150 gold depends on ur stamina and how many times u plan on waking up in the middle of the night.... But if ones dedicated, 150 goldand a few restless nights might be worth it.

After reading this I am out of this event. The bs drop rates of rare items in epic boss events and these brutally tough events, I burned 500 gold to try to get the last camera roll for the evidence blaster and got nothing but 7/7 cars and eu security batons, have left me feeling like I am done with this game. For the player who can't drop $100-1000/week on gold - this game is becoming a waste of time.

I'll make a record and see how many wins a typical free player could reach...

70 stamina (not planning to increase this, although 28 skill points saved), GOODFELLA, maybe one or two level up, started at 3:20 est with full stamina.

Alice,

I'm with you. I have 70 bullets and will be going for 2000 wins also. Although Dudeman did bust my bubble of getting a new number 1 weapon.

I'm level 193 and close to 194 so I will get a free refill there. If I'm close on Monday morning I will spend some gold to get to 2000.

I started 3:05est with a full clip.

If they had put that turf ripper at 1500 wins, just think about how many dedicated free players would be opening CC at whatever party they're at, showing all their friends and talking about CC.

Talk about a missed opportunity for free word of mouth promotion, Gree. That same dedicated free player will be finished before 3pm EST tomorrow. Nobody will even need to think about CC at any superbowl parties let alone open the app.

Absolutely correct!!! I've been deciding whether to go for the 2K award knowing that I will need to play during the party and the game or bag it and settle for 500. Tapping away would get some guys asking what I was doing etc was a free promo!

Nope just like there is no counter for your convenience on your board. Just figure that a minimum of 10K wins will get you in top 25 and over 15K in the top 10. Spenders spend gold and several well to get the Top 10 prize.

Tomatoneverdie
02-01-2013, 06:38 PM
IMO, you aren't supposed to get a 1000/850 weapon for free.

If you have 50+ stamina, you set the timer for every 2 hours so you can get some rest in between. Shoot for 1400-1500 wins for free. If you are far away from Lv200, you can get another 200-250 in from leveling up. Then you only need 50-100 golds for refills.

Campers, forget about this PvP, not worth it....

.and I don't know if you guys remembered the very first boss event
But I defeated him 40 times and my iPhone kept resetting saying I had only defeated him 3 times..
To date: I've not won a single top item on these events!

I can get to 9 opens on box events in 2/3 days but never the tenth.

Sure, that's 1,584 ST that you'll get in 72 hours (actually 1 ST every 162 seconds, so over 72 hours 1600 ST on the dot). If you started with full ST, that's probably another ~120, so 1,700 or so. If you played it perfectly, never letting ST fill up and winning all the time you'd need to buy 60 gold worth of ST refills in the perfect case.

My personal estimation is I'll let my ST fill up for no more than 3 hours a day (eh, I'm not waking up to play this game.) It takes just a little more than 6 hours for my ST to fill up (tried to sync that to NC collection times...). I blind attack and don't remember who has a gillion DF, so lets call it a 95% success ration. In 3 days, my guess is I'll get 1330 wins. Gold basically buys you another 2 hours 15 minutes for this event. So I'd have to buy say 15 ST refills to be on the safe side. 150 gold for a 1,000 AT item? Maybe. If this event ran for another day I'd still have to use gold but might get away with tapjoy amounts.

If I'm on track monday mid morning, might do it. I'd rather have seen a more worthwhile prize at 1,000 wins rather than 500.

We already know from the RPG crates being visible that they do keep track of how many crates we have. I don't think they'll give us gold for free though - somebody has to be making money somewhere in order for gold to go out there. The only exception for that is the devs giving it our for competitions.

I do agree with you.. However I think it can make money for gree.. It would give incentive to a lot of players who are quitting and also once they get a taste of a little free gold they might try buying some..
Or maybe they could use the unopened boxes as a discount on purchasing gold..
Just an idea to keep cc from becoming too stale..

You have to manually keep track of your wins total. You can count up from the fights you originally had before you started attacking people by looking at your profile. Take your wins before you start the event, and add your goal. When you reach that total you should have enough for your item.

We've, or at least I, have been suggesting that since the first PvP event. If GREE is looking for an update, that's probably the way to go. This way, as soon as you complete the goal - you get the item immediately. No waiting at all.

I for one will definitely be going for the 2000 prize. Like Big Bad Wolf said, even 100-150 gold (if needed) isn't that bad considering I've seen some LE items for 900-1000 gold and have stats like 300-A 150-D and on top of that if you do get 2000 wins, you're also getting the 500 wins prize as well right? To each their own but I'm gong for it!!! :D Good luck everyone!

I'm going for 2000 and I'm currently over 800 PvP wins, did 5 ST refills and I've got 70 ST so I should be able to reach my goal and still have some kind of life this weekend:cool:

This argument is invalid. How many LLPs get the boss grand prize for free? And repeatedly?

They put in the time though, so they earned their prizes. The same could have been said if Gree had smartly put the turf shredder at a more reasonable number of wins. Even 1500 would be a stretch to pull off for a level 200 using zero gold. Doing so would require an investment of time which, IMO, would be worthy of the prize.

That also would have had people playing CC at superbowl parties, but Gree is kind of dumb sometimes so I can't really say I'm surprised.

The argument is invalid either. They give LLPs the grand prize for free so they should award you the PVP prize for free?
I believe they do so to attract and keep a large amount of new players so that new players can compete with veteran ones. After becoming devoted, they'll possibly spend RM. IMO, that's a more effective way to increase their revenue than "mouth promotion" is.
As for "mouth promotion", how many dedicated players will be opening CC at Superbowl? How many new ones will be attracted in this way? How many will then become dedicated? How many will be willing to spending RM afterwards? Is it really profitable as you claimed?

Gree is greedy but not dumb.

We both know that's not what I said. They don't "give" anyone anything. You earn the prizes by spending money or time. LL/new players are clearly held in higher regard with Gree, since they can easily earn a prize with a minimal investment of time or money. A level 200, on the other hand, has to fork over a wad of bills or spend all their time playing, and they still get crapped on by Gree.

My argument is really simple. If a LLP can earn a high stat item for free, someone who has been playing longer should be able to accomplish the same goal. Nobody is "given" anything.

Your argument, however, is not only A) invalid, but now also B) self-contradictory. A) Invalid because Gree obviously has no qualms with high stat items beings earned for free. It happens every boss event. B) Self-contradictory because you say high stat items should not be free, but are quite all right with LL players earning such items for free while saying that other players should not be so lucky.

Self contradiction has made this discussion rather pointless. You don't seem to know what you think, sir!

what time does this event finish in the UK ? , they should have put a timer seen as it s a worldwide game.

2000 hrs Monday....helpful hint is to load a timezone app on your device or laptop...PVPs usually end 1200 PST/PDT.

Good luck!

You have to manually keep track of your wins total. You can count up from the fights you originally had before you started attacking people by looking at your profile. Take your wins before you start the event, and add your goal. When you reach that total you should have enough for your item.

don't forget to subtract times you were attacked and won as well

Does the refill stays at 10 gold even when your stamina goes up?

I'm really considering buying gold to get the 2000 wins (and lose my free player status).
I'm 1000 wins short, so 25 refills (of 40 stamina) would cost me 250 gold.
If you see the attack points of other items that you can get for 250 gold this looks like a real good investment to me.
Besides 15$ is really not that much money.

The xp coming from this is hell for a camper like me. I think I went from level 35 to 44 this weekend (800 wins until now) by doing everything I can to level up (for the free refills). Also the 23 pigskin I currently get from this give me a chance to beat the boss at level 40. OTOH I probably hit tier 3 (level 51) before I reach boss 40...

PC77
02-03-2013, 03:27 PM
It's only going to cost me 150 gold, an absolute snip for those stats.. A countdown clock for last 24 hrs would be handy, they do it for gold sales and other kinds of stuff.

Is this true? I didn't think so.

Also, this is my first time posting, but I have a question. When do we receive the PvP items? If we've won 500x, I've noticed I don't receive it automatically, so I am assuming we must wait until the event is over? I did not take a screen capture during the Christmas PvP event, but I was sure I won at least 500 times, and I never received an item. This time, I took a screen capture, and I know I'm at 1100 wins. Will I get the item at 12:00pm PST then? Will I get two of the cleats for winning 1100 times? Thanks!

Fight wins from people attacking you are not counted in the final total.

Yes, usually up to a week after the event ends sadly :(


Will I get two of the cleats for winning 1100 times?

Nope. You get 1 cleats for getting over 500 wins and 1 shredder for over 2000 wins.

About 550 to go. I'll get about 110-120 naturally (before I have to go to bed), plus I'm 95% sure I'll level up during that period as well, so need to drop about 50 gold (in addition to 20 already dropped). 70 gold for 1000/700 is a deal I'd take any day of the week. Real life got in the way a bit and made me throw away about 100 unused stamina during the event. I'll be stoked if one of these could happen when I've got a long weekend.

Huzzah! I've done it.

Positives:
-Awesome new weapon (my first event main weapon, and by some margin my best overall)
-Surprisingly generous drop rates. AK's in particular - I think I added just under 200.
-Drowning in respect points - although not as dramatic as the AKs, my YBRs are now significantly more plentiful.

Negatives:
-RSI that may well be permanant
-Some degree of sleep depravation

Neutrals:
-Had to learn how to/was forced to ignore so many juicy robbery opportunities. (This gets bumped from negative to neutral purely because I finished up in a hood with NCs and UCs ripe for the picking.)

Now if only the prizes could be awarded before the end of the epic boss event....

sitting on 1337 wins right now, a little better than I thought I'd be. Probably not going to spend real money on this as it is just stats boosting and not a game modifier.

bald zeemer
02-04-2013, 08:03 AM
Because until about 2 weeks ago I was just plowing through missions as fast as I could, resulting in me only having about 300 vehicles total (at ~lvl90 at the time). I'm looking to accumulate 250 YBRs before moving to excelero's (which I still don't have access to anyway). Especially as I'm currently loading on mafia (to hit missions to unlock atk/def # msns, which I have already achieved, hence giving me a flood of respect and the 2 golden weapons).

Right now they give the best points per respect spent, and they're unlikely to become redundant for a hellava long time (I only have 62 vehicles with better atk stats that YRB right now).

I should note I'm none too concerned about getting a huge defence - I'm at a stage where my robbing can earn me way more than my domestic economy. That is likely to change in the next 2 weeks as I've just been able to move onto some high-value investments, but I've just quadrupled my defence with recent drops (mainly pigskins, obviously, but there are some hard numbers underneath them). For the first time ever my news feed is all green, instead of 80% red.

I don't know for sure. Based on comments on the forum there's a bit of a delay (from what is probably optimistic claims of a day to what is definitely sarcastic claims of months). It might land before the boss closes, but personally I still need enough time to make sure I level up at the right point (I'm after tier 1 lvl 19 next - the jump in stats required is enormous).

realsavior
02-04-2013, 08:46 AM
Previous items have taken anywhere from a few days after the event ends to weeks. For the top 10 prize it seems like there have been problems in the past and it has taken upwards of a month for players to get them.

So for a quick review...you do not get the item until after the event is over, and it usually takes a week after that.

Got my 2000+ wins...that was something...since that wins gained when other attacked me supposedly counts against my win total I'll take no chance and add another 100 wins to make sure...don't want to end up losing a great item like that for 50-60 PvP wins missing !!

is there any chance that CJ54 or any dev could confirm that PvP wins gained when attacked by others counts against a PvP objective ?? When you put the time required to go through an event like this, it could be a bit comfortable to know for sure how to count your PvP total. An added objective in our goal list would be the best.

why's gree so unorganized? you never know when they'll give out the weapons u deserve/earned .. i dont get it, why are they trying to do more than they can handle?

They always have been. The weapons are usually delivered within a week. Someone will always make a post here on the forum as soon as they see it in their inventory. Just have to wait.

No there are no lists put up of the winners after an event like this.

Kingdom Age, also from Gree has a better system like a leader board for the chest items? Does crime city have something similar?maybe it's too complicated to display top ten PvPs?

There has been an event or two in the past where someone from GREE has put up a list of the winners.. Not guaranteed, but it's definitely possible.

Had around 550 wins, just checked my account and got the cleats within the past few hours. Way quicker than the Settler's Ship before.

Did they give you anything? Or was it just the ripper they neglected to provide?

Forum dudes & dudettes....

I have not read all pages of this thread, but can anyone confirm the following..??

When this event first popped up for me the prizes were for 200 & 2000 PVP victories, not 500 & 2000?

Since I knew that I would not get the 2000 but would pass 200 with little bother I never actually kept precise before and after stats.

Just wondering if anyone out there saw the same or do I need to make an appointment with the opticians???
