Crime City Quickie Questions

[MichelleEvelyncc]

Im lvl 34 and my stats are ;
Att:12000-13000
Def-15000-16000

I wanted to ask if they are okay? And how can I get a significant boost to make me better, what ways can I do this and how easy is it??
Plus should I stop leveling up to increase stats or keep leveling?
Thanks

See this post (http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?48441-Crime-City-Quickie-Questions&p=920965&viewfull=1#post920965) and look at the campers guide (http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?63045-C00guy-s-Happy-Campers-Guide-for-Low-Level-Campers) for advice on how to get better stats for your level. I can also give you a link in pm to my syndicate's blog with some posts about this stuff if you want.

Is there a way to completely delete a character/account from a device? I have been building a second character on a Kindle fire, things were going great at level 27 I had over 16k in both attack and defense. Earlier this week however I was trying to figure out why I hadn't had access to the current LTQ an leather satchel case so I did something stupid without first coming here and researching and reading Assault and Flatteries sticky. I uninstalled and re-installed the app. Doing this caused me to lose many of my looted items and cut my stats down by two-thirds. They are now at 4000 att and 5000 def. I was pissed! And now I'm just depressed. I want to start completely over but everytime I uninstall then reinstall my same old character keeps coming up.

Why can't I start fresh and is there any way to do this on the same device??

Installing and reinstalling the app shouldn't delete anything. You might wanna send in a ticket to support. When I had problems with bluestacks and had to reinstall it my whole game disappeared and support was able to get it back to me.

If you want to start over, you need another device and transfer the game to that device. That will give you a fresh game on your old device.

Thank you for your reply Michelle. And you know it's crazy but for 2-3 days my stats were cut and I couldn't bear to look at it. Then after reading your reply I logged on and BAM! Everythings back to normal. Like ****ing PHEW! LOL. Thanks again!

3 weeks ago i had a bad connection. i removed CC and reinstalled. it worked, and how!
had better connection... but that did not have to do with the game, i know. Anyway,

went 11 levels up (167 to 178) and got 33 hitpoints
all i see now in my wall, are red messages. others around me are over 200K Att/Def.
in those 11 levels i could have my stats.... now they're 1/3rd of others in my level.

earlier i whitdrew 13mil for buying weapons, and as i did i got robbed so i couldn't get 10, but 9 items. i thought as long as you are busy with your money issues (accuiring buildings/weapons), you couldn't get robbed....

does anyone have a good advice?

1. Those 33 skill points are best used in energy or stamina - unfortunately it sounds like you put them in either attack or defense - which does essentially nothing.

2. Don't level up like crazy unless you are doing it in an event that at least pays out good prizes (LTQ, syndicate war). Furthermore, you'll start to notice the stats in your bracket getting much, much higher from now on in, as people at higher levels are more likely to have played in a large number of syndicate wars, completed more events, etc.

3. Use your cash to either participate in LTB events, or boost your IPH so that you are able to participate in the events in the future. Cash on cash weapons is basically only for people with super-high IPHs and relatively low stats.

4. If your cash is on hand it can get taken from you in attacks - but only $600k at a time (assuming your attacker goes 20-0 on you).

Rob

Uh... get better stats and you won't get robbed/attacked as much? Well, I still get robbed/attacked frequently, but the majority of those messages are green.

If your stats are a third of 200k, I'm sorry to say but you're definitely near the bottom stat-wise for your level. If you don't have too much invested in your account, you may want to start a new one, read all about camping, and try again.

Otherwise, general tips:
1. Cash items are fairly useless by the time you're in the upper 100s. Or at least they should be, by that point.

2. The best way to improve your stats is through the events that GREE is constantly throwing at you. They are the main reason cash items should be useless at this point in the game. You should go as far in the various events a you can, whether that's a collect-10/20, an LTQ, or whatever. I've added more than 67k or whatever your stats are in the last two LTQs combined.

3. Look into alternative ways to increase your stats. One LTQ recently involved collecting new loot items. These loot items are still available, and are likely far superior than whatever it was you were trying to purchase in the store for cash. For example, for nonconsumable explosives, go to Junkyard, and hit the "Crushed Cars" (48 energy / 14xp). This drops the Junkyard Explosive, 15atk/15def, at about a 67% clip. You can also find 23/22 cars on the Broadway map, for approx 260 energy a piece, which is probably a better use of your time than collecting $13million to purchase on vehicles or what have you.

Please check this topic: http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?62200-Park-Trafficking-LTQ-Jobs-and-Rewards-List

to see the details of the loot items you can [still] find, listed under "Loot item", which gives the details on the jobs that drop those loot items, as well as the stats of the loot items (e.g. Yuppie Cars, 23/22, on Broadway's Opera House and Empire Theater).

4. The best use of your cash is probably buying and investing in your hood enough to participate in LTBs (remember what I said about events!). This means that you should have at least two level 2 Nightclubs, preferably level 3. This will allow you to buy and upgrade each LTB a few levels, which gives nice items as a reward.

5. Spend your skill points on energy and stamina only. You should have at least 1000 energy and at least 50 stamina. Having more energy makes it easier to go farther in LTQs. Any other use of your skill points (e.g. literally any points in attack or defense) is a waste.

Lastly, I didn't understand your question about why you thought you couldn't be hit at a certain time, because you had money withdrawn, or whatever. You can be attacked a maximum of 20 times in a two hour period. If someone hit you 20 times, you would disappear of the Rival List for two hours. The only people who could find you then is people who have a link to your hood on their newsfeed, but they wouldn't be able to attack you ("This player is too beat up!"), only rob you.

[Raaver]

Thanks Bigmoney,

you put the forum into 1 post it seems. i allready understood i am on the bottom. i blame the 11 levels up instantly. anyway, i am doing the LTB's, one at the time. i figured the weapons buying might increase stats too. i spend enough money on the game so far, and not going to anymore. it'll be too much to grow into the level where i am at. my 1yr old needs it more :)

as for the q you didn't understand; i withdrew money and went to the equipment screen and scrolled to the item i wanted to get, i tapped it and got it as much as i wanted (10) and got 9 (got robbed in the meantime).
i expected the game didn't allow robbing as long as you withdrew cash and went to buy something....

thanks Bigmoney.


other thing i'm bothered by, is no option for offline gaming. during work i have no online possibilities. i am 12hrs from home... this basically screams; ROB ME!
too bad gree fixed the offline thing, dang!

Robert

[BigMoney]

You're welcome.

Though I just noticed I said pretty much the same thing as bald zeemer, except ten minutes slower. That's how I know it's good advice, though. :rolleyes:

Edit: my advice applies even assuming you're a 100% free player (which I was assuming you were anyway). If I said, "cash" I meant "in-game cash." You can still go decently far in the events for free. You should be able to complete the Normal mode of the current LTQ for free if you had moderate pre-hits, for example.

Edit 2: I believe farming the new loot items are a much better option than cash weapons.

[Sir Dan]

So I was in a syndicate that ranked top 75 for a few wars and was doing moderately well. One war I only had about 30k IP and I go kicked shortly after the war. Rewards were coincidently not rewarded on time and I never received them to this day. I sent in a ticket about the items and I am still waiting to hear back.
I guess my question is does this happen to others? And could it happen again?

[vert man]

Is it still generally accepted that at 36mil/day you are coming out ahead no-banking given you even lose 10 fights a day?

[jmeijer]

Is it still generally accepted that at 36mil/day you are coming out ahead no-banking given you even lose 10 fights a day?Choose the option that is cheapest for you. If you lose more than 10% of your income because of losses, use the bank. If it's less than 10%, no-bank.

The maximum amount of fights you can lose in 2 hours, is 20 fights. If you make more than 3 million/hr, it's advised to no-bank, because the maximum amount you can lose is 600K/2hr and that is 10% of 3 million.

It's a different situation in battle. When you lose a lot in battle, you might want to use the bank for those 3 days.

[mmmmmm]

If anyone has any questions in regards to Crime City / forum, shoot it here.:)

There are plenty of knowledgeable members that can answer questions.

I've realized that even with fact sheets,guides,etc etc out there, people still have questions. Some clever,some dumb but it doesn't matter because we are all here to help one another to get better at the game.

Either way, no need for another dozen threads being created to questions that can be answered and solved with just the help of each other.

ii just went from and htc to a Samsung galaxy3... I registered it with my gmail and downloaded crime city again and instead of it pulling up my hood like it did on the other phones I transferred to it wants to make me start over and im positive its the same email ive always used... wat do I do I don't want to loose my hood how do I get it back?????

It's also different during PVP tournaments...I've been hit at least 60 times in 30 minutes...not sure if there's a limit because my newsfeed never holds all the attacks.

Just speculating, but it feels like there's a still a personal limit on attacks, but you can't get knocked off a Rival List-- you can become too beat up to be hit by one person, but never too beat up to hit by everyone else. Guess people got tired of only seeing FC on their RL.

[TMI]

how can i put a pic of my ip in my signatures? in fact, how do i put signatures in the first place? I've gone to my profile and they have complicated things like modules and stuff and a bunch of ### signs and c3c3c3 and stuff that i dont want to touch incase i screw it up.

[TMI]

oh, and i want to put a pic under my name too (not a cat though :P)

[Nomisser]

hopefully at least until someone answers my question? :)

You need to upload a photo somewhere (I prefer imgur.com), and then you place the direct link to the image there in between two image tags-- .

I agree with this...I've always seen 20 hits per attacker, but multiple attackers per hour...

[megar1]

Current stats:
about 740k iph
2 lvl 3 NC
2 of the current LTB lvl 1
80 Mil in the bank

Question:

Do I save for next LTB or upgrade the current one(could probably make one to lvl 3)?

[Randolph]

With this payout i say upgrade this one

Maybe it's somehow normal, but I've never seen it at this level. Hoping someone knows where those weapons came from and if this is possible.

[BigMoney]

I don't recognize all of them, but quite a few of those are crate items.

[MichelleEvelyncc]

Well, I guess it's about 20 vaults worth of crates. Thanks.

[usaf_cct]

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer. I currently play Crime City on my older Kindle Fire tablet. I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet.

Will I be able to transfer over my game to the new device? Will the transfer contain all of my buildings, gold, etc?

Thank you for the help.

During syndicate battle do you gain xp?

[Timmaaay]

Yes. In the PvP (a lot) and every attack during battle you gain the usual XP you would for fighting.

If I remember correctly, the Jackhammer and Pyromaniac's Dream were available for purchase through the Store (the Jackhammer for sure because I bought one, and I think I passed on the Pyromaniac's Dream because of the price), and the Backdraft Helmet was a crate item (I have 3).

[MichelleEvelyncc]

So, clearly a lot of gold was involved. If I'd put a report in, could/would support check if this player really purchased all that gold?

[kgod]

Who knows if they'll check but Gree has been surprisingly promp with my recent tickets so it woulnt hurt to put one in

Well I'll be damned, I was going to call you a show-off, but it seems my two most recent cheater reports have been deemed "solved" (within a minute apart). Now I'm actually suspicious, this seems like too fast of a response:

3 days for the first ticket, 5 hours for the second.

They are both marked with the standard "cut and paste" response for cheater reports.

All I'm saying is that the individual I reported had:


Name: [redacted]
Level: 206
IPH: $4,119,553

Inventory:
2672 Infiltrator Shotguns (2672 * $2,900,000 = $7,748,800,000)
534 Rocket Launchers (534 * $7,000,000 = $3,738,000,000)
514 Multiple grenade launchers (514 * $1,000,000 = $514,000,000)
98 Chainguns (98 * $750,000 = $73,500,000)
205 Flamethrowers (205 * $625,000 = $128,125,000)
455 Dual Machine Guns (455 * $2,800,000 = $1,274,000,000)
500 Sentry Gun (500 * $4,400,000 = $2,200,000,000)
125 Siege Launchers (125 * $6,800,000 = $850,000,000)
501 Deadly Shurikens (501 * $3,300,000 = $1,653,300,000)
820 Shock Rods (820 * $1,100,000 = $902,000,000)
531 Assassin Tonfas (531 * $1,900,000 = $1,008,900,000)
500 Chainsaws (500 * $600,000 = $300,000,000)
519 Landmines (519 * $150,000 = $77,850,000)
946 Napalms (846 * $64,000 = $54,144,000)
472 Sarin Gas Grenades (472 * $325,000 = $153,400,000)
889 FBI Shields (889 * $250,000 = $222,250,000)
523 Stealth Attack Vests (523 * $770,000 = $402,710,000)
1045 Army Defense Suits (1045 * $1,400,000 = $1,463,000,000)
504 Infiltrator Suits (504 * $2,500,000 = $1,260,000,000)
536 Battle M1A1s (536 * $27,500,000 = $14,740,000,000)
630 Midnight Racers (630 * $12,500,000 = $7,875,000,000)

216 Big Rigs (216 * $2,700,000 = $583,200,000)
517 Lamborghinis (517 * $3,800,000 = $1,964,600,000)
153 Yachts (153 * $3,100,000 = $474,300,000)

Total: $58,948,079,000. That's $58.9 BILLION. I'm aware I didn't need to list this many items, but I did anyway because he is literally the biggest and most obvious cash hacker I've ever seen.

$58,948,079,000 spent on cash items with a $4,119,553 IPH would take over 14,309 hours to save, or 596 days of perfect collection.

The fact that this player may or may not be the leader of syndicate that had all its bonuses maxed during the first few battles and has over $68 billion (as of a few months ago) in their syndicate bank was never mentioned by me.

[BigMoney]

On a related note, I'm considering making/releasing a spreadsheet to make such obvious cash/RP hackers much easier to spot and report. However, I'm concerned that such a spreadsheet could also be used by cheaters to make their cheating less obvious (e.g. only purchasing 500 Infiltrator Shotguns instead of 2672 would have been much more subtle).

Not that you would know anything about that situation.....

Yeah, except said certain player was quietly banned for his posts 5 days later (and had many of them retroactively deleted by the admins-- including the thread "The most obvious cheater you have seen!" that the admins participated in), which indicates to me that GREE would rather sweep such matters under the rug. I'd like to think that stopping cheaters is more of a priority, but the only players from that syndicate that were banned were the ones that the said certain player personally reported, and many other obvious hackers from the alleged cheating syndicate were still able to participate in the last syndicate war. The certain player is very grateful to all the forum members who sent him screenshots and reports on other obvious hackers from the alleged cheating syndicate, and those reports have been including in the second, more recent ticket. We will see if any more cheaters from that syndicate are banned the second time around. We are literally talking about a quarter of their syndicate. The only reason more haven't been found is that the certain player is limited by his level and can only browse players' inventories a few levels above or below him (which luckily included a large number of them).

I have trouble understanding why GREE was unable to spot the rest of their obvious hackers. If they need someone to point out why it is impossible to have over 500+ Doomsday Frags as well as 500+ of every other top RP item on 10k fights and robs, I would be happy to do so. You can send me a list of their inventories with their names redacted, and I'd be happy to sort through them for you. You can even throw in a control group of legitimate players from top 25 syndicates to see that I'm not biased in my reporting and can easily separate the cheaters from the non-cheaters.

[Timmaaay]

If said syndicate had all of their bonuses purchased with hacked cash, by proxy, the whole syndicate benefits from cheating and are therefore cheaters themselves. I still dont understand why Gree wont just simply delete the syndicate all together...


Yeah, except said certain player was quietly banned for his posts 5 days later (and had many of them retroactively deleted by the admins-- including the thread "The most obvious cheater you have seen!" that the admins participated in), which indicates to me that GREE would rather sweep such matters under the rug.

Yeah, I know, and I've made this argument in my tickets. They've already had numerous cash hackers banned, so it's hardly a stretch to assume that a syndicate that maxed their bonuses that quickly did so with hacked cash. If they were short even one IP bonus (+20% instead of +25%) they wouldn't have made top 25.

However, I think GREE should look into their alleged gold hacking, as without hacked gold, they probably aren't even in the top 250 let alone top 25...

Hey, I've heard the term Bluestacks thrown around a few times on here but only just learned what it is.
So, Im wondering how well it works with Crime City or if there's anything major I need to know before trying.

Also, I was wondering. I know how to transfer a game..but what if my phone gets lost, stolen or destroyed. would I have to forfeit my game as well?

Can you find someone who is in the same syndicate on the rivals list and rob them??

[jmeijer]

Can you find someone who is in the same syndicate on the rivals list and rob them??No. From what I've heard, you can actually attack/rob friends from your mafia who are not in the same syndicate.

[Sideline Sal]

I thought it was exactly the opposite. You can not attack members of your mafia, but can attack members of your syndicate.

Ok so just to clarify...... You can attack members of your mafia if you find them on rivals list, but members of your syndicate won't show up on rivals list therefore you can't attack or rob them

Close. The "Dockside Security" (1173/1758) guard dog was awarded at level 6 of the Dockside Mill LTB, and it has since been reused in the Soviet Shuffle Elite LTQ.

it takes forever to build high paying buildings like a loft. how do you decide which to upgrade? By upgrade time or payout time/amount. have my ice cream shops at 5. at night work on my laundromats to get them to 10 since I can keep up with collection often at work. House are at 4. So thinking move between laundromat, house and Ice cream for now. I have seen the sheets and the A/B threads. Which is why I have settled on those 3 the most for now.

A lot of it depends on your level and what buildings are available. It helps using one of the spreadsheets available.

Having enough money to buy MT's is possible pretty quickly. I assume you don't just have those buildings, but other low lvl buildings (type A and the good type B) as well and don't ignore upgrading them because the first upgrades are quick and pay themselves back within days.

In my opinion you shouldn't start upgrading these buildings to lvl 10, because the last upgrades take a lot of time while only adding a few thousand at most to your daily income. At the moment you are considering upgrading buildings to lvl 9/10 you should be making enough money to start thinking about your longer term income when those buildings have very low to no value and start paying more concern to putting upgrade time into buildings which have more value later in the game; the higher output buildings. Again, what buildings these are, besides MT's and Lofts, depends on your level.

[CCK-buttsy]

Give a direct warning first... then just right after the event ended on Monday, boot him immediately so he would not receive the award items... But please educate him first. He may not know what he's doing, unless you see that he's doing that purposely to crash and burn before leaving your syn. Then just boot him before he could get the reward items.

How does armor relate to defence stats?

If for example I buy one of the shields (blast \ riot) etc. my defence numbers don't go up, as I have better items but my armor does.

You need defense over 4mil if you don't want to be constantly attacked. You need defense over 6 mil if you don't want to be constantly robbed.

I'd suggest being at peace with red on your feed is significantly easier.

Armor is just like all the other weapon categories. You take 1 piece per mafia member you take into battle.

I dont know where this theory came from but regardless of when you boot someone, they will still get the syndicate prizes. Nothing you can do about that unless they leave the syndicate themselves before the end of the war.

The level 50 boss reappears over and over again (same boss health). You can kill him for a rare/uncommon/common boss item. You cannot re-win a final boss prize.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong as it has been a long time since I could slay a level 50 boss, but I believe at L50 the breakdown is something like 30r/40u/30c.

I believe that's more or less accurate BM. Once this boss is done I'll check my inventory for my overall breakdown, it should provide further evidence.

NC vs gem store upgrade question.

I have two level 3 NC's and a level 4 gem store (51% off mod)....seems to me I can upgrade both NC's to level 4 for less than the upgrade to level 5 of the gem and get a better hourly value.

The downside is that the NC upgrades will be far more time intensive and I'll lose out on the event bonus, which to be fair isn't all that great.

What's my play here?

[bald zeemer]

Gem store upgrade is far superior.

edit/ and you get an item for it too. A pretty decent one, IIRC.

[Mack The Knife]

Gem store upgrade is far superior.

edit/ and you get an item for it too. A pretty decent one, IIRC.

Thx for the reply, but why do you consider it superior? I'd lose out on 121k per hour and have to pay more to do so. The weapon isn't bad but it's also approaching the norm these days. I don't think I'd lose sleep over not having it.

Im just not sure Im not missing something critical. Im not really a math guy.

[bald zeemer]

Looking at dIPH/t - Gem store upgrade is better when looking at 100% collect rate (much better, in fact). I find it very hard to imagine someone collecting a higher % of their NCs than their Gem Stores. Which moves it from being fairly significantly better to almost out of the league of the NC upgrade.

Talk of a weapon "approaching the norm" is insane. The only discounting of stats should be the current stats of the bottom item you take into battle in that category.

Yes, you can get another weapon of similar stats elsewhere. But if you get this weapon, you can still get that other weapon of similar stats. But again - the Gem Store upgrade is objectively better even without the weapon, the weapon is just another handy stat boost - essentially free, since you're doing the upgrade you should be doing anyway.

[Ragmondino]

Nightclubs are heavily over rated. Unless your one of the people who set alarms to interrupt there normal life's every 6hrs of every day it will get robbed. It gives most people a fake boost to there iph cause it won't be collected fully.

[Mack The Knife]

Alright, Im still not sure the gem store edges out the 121k more I'd make on the NC but I'll take your advice. Thx.

[bald zeemer]

121k will be chump change when you eventually push that (those) gem(s) well past 5.

This is with my 30% building payout mod, but without the 25% syndicate payout mod.

More importantly, the scarcer resource between upgrade time and cost is clearly upgrade time. To get an idea, take the upgrade time, multiply it by 10, and you have the gold cost. Convert that into vaults, and see how much in-game cash you'd get from that quantity of vaults. Then remember that your cash vaults will increase dramatically as your iph increases.

It's not even close.

Right now the NC is only just holding onto a spot in the top 5 buildings of the game. LTBs are where it's at.

[Mack The Knife]

Alright, Gem store it is. Thx again.

[Forabuzz]

new buildings pay out way better and upgrade cheaper than nightclubs

Can you stack building upgrade cost? Im at 30% now, can I find another bonus to add to it?

[BigMoney]

Can you stack building upgrade cost? Im at 30% now, can I find another bonus to add to it?

Upgrade cost modifiers are multiplicative (instead of additive, e.g. two +10% gun attack modifiers gives you +20% gun attack). So for example if you had two 30% off upgrade cost mods (30% off = 70% of original upgrade cost), that would give you (0.7) * (0.7) * upgrade cost = (0.49) * upgrade cost, or 51% off original upgrade cost.

You can do it by hand. Quote a message, and look closely at the first tag. Eg. for yours it's: [QUOTE=TMI;974321]

"974321" is the message ID. I can see the message ID from the URL of your post--hover or copy/paste the link you see when you click your message number, eg the "#1188" in the top right corner of your post: http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?48441-Crime-City-Quickie-Questions&p=974321&viewfull=1#post974321

So to quote from a closed topic, you can write the appropriate quote tags, and copy/paste their message.

How are syndicates paired in wars? My understanding is that it's with total ip so far.

[bald zeemer]

A combination of aggregate stats, IP and previous pairing. After 20 minutes the parameters (allegedly) are relaxed, so teams further away (either higher or lower) in stats or IP become possible match-ups.

Does anyone know where I can find the spreadsheet about the Syndicate bonus costs?
Tried everywhere and searching the forum doesn't help.

Well, I don´t know wherer there is a spreadsheet, but I do have a list of the cost for each and in total. The list might not look that great, but the numbers are correct. All numbers are in millions, where as 0,3 = 300.000 and 5 = 5.000.000 etc.

Somewhere when syndicates began, there was a spreadsheet or table or so.
Got lost in all the msgs :)

[MattThomas08]

It's a combination of a lot of things. Total IP, comparative stats of players, how many times you've faced them in the event so far, what color shirt the person pressing the button is wearing, etc.

There are plenty of knowledgeable members that can answer questions.

Either way, no need for another dozen threads being created to questions that can be answered and solved with just the help of each other.

Hello (my first post)

I attacked a player with 15000000 and won several 30k several times as expected. After that, i received no money (as though their balance was 0) and their balance has not reduced at all. Is this a glitch/ cheat/ very common??

I apologise for not reading every post to find an answer.

I have three accounts on three different ios devices all under the same apple id. I need to transfer one account to a new device. What is the best way to do it? I done some research and saw something about getting a funzio ID but i don't see that under the menu. Also, I saw something about syncing the old device and then the new one but i don't know how to do it for just the game? Thanks for your help in advance.

I believe it's temp data so that your hood and maps load quicker. It is a bit ridiculous.

thx. I'll clear it out when I need the space back then.

[reesebutton]

Probably just the graphics.

No, it's data from various hoods, etc. It grows (rapidly) over time. And resets (with no change in graphics) when you clear it out.

I unfortunately clicked on 'finish now' upgrading button when collecting and it used more than 200 gold out of the 500 I had. I only bought once gold and I'm not a spender at all otherwise so that gold was important to me.
I alread sent a ticket to Gree about it....anybody had that problem and knows if I could possibly get the gold back?

[TMI]

That happened to me once before. They gave me a courtesy one time refund. I'm now more careful when pressing on my iPhone ;)

Edit: a good feature would be an "are you sure" button for speeding up buildings. I would ow many tickets like yours (and mine) would be eliminated.

My Android tablet seems to be on it's last legs (the power port connection has become very slack so it is almost impossible to charge it up). I've read/heard of Apple users having nighmares because the Funzio ID transfer route doesn't work anymore.

My question is in 2 parts:

1. Does the simple transfer between 2 Android devices still work OK using the Funzio ID?

2. In case of emergency..........could I transfer my account from my failing Android tablet to Bluestacks Android on my laptop? This would be a 'holding' tactic until I could acquire a new device and move the account on again.

Thanks for any insights

seansheep I am also curious about the Funzio ID transfer method but for iOS. I'm not sure about Android but the Funzio ID button was removed from the iOS app a few months ago and just recently reappeared.

I requested some guidance in the following thread about acct transfers, you might want to check there in case it gets a response before your question above, as it's something that can really only be addressed by the devs:

It's an obvious cheater, and "Im Jahova" is a little sh*t stain. Report to Support, and don't be surprised when Support sends you a ticket saying

If they do, send another ticket, or follow-up with the ticket to ask why you see the player still playing.

You can easily check their inventory, and post here what their high stat items are for conclusive proof that they are cheating. They likely have multiples of one-of-a-kind items or items impossible for that level (e.g. final LTQ prizes).

I have just found out about this program but I have a question? Do you have to spend the amount to get a prize in one month? Or does it carry over month to month? The first tier is 500 dollars so if I spend 250 this month and 250 next month do I qualify? Thanks

It does not carry over. Month to month only

And if they are in syndicates, do they also stay there forever or do they get deleted after Some time of inactivity?

They'll only go from a syn if the leader removed them.
There account will still appear on the rivals list but the longer it is inactive the less it will appear.

No Bala it will only be available on the new device.

At lower levels, the best buildings are the mafia unlocked ones.
