What a bargain!! ....

[itsshooter]

Holy moly I though my 200 mil in the bank would go far haha

[Beardy]

Wait till you see the upgrade prices..

[teo]

LOL

The screenshot say finish by May 27 but ingame event schedule says the event ends May 31.

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

Definitely should have saved the $230m spent on the after-the-fact L7 pagoda upgrade..

8x8.. dudeman will not be pleased

[Justsimply]

So gold spender wanna post what the first prize is, pretty please

[bfspider]

The quest says that you have 10 days to build.

[geminiking01]

This game is starting to get on my nerves. 75 million?? Billion dollar upgrades. 2 sets of hit lists, syndicate battles every 11 days. A trap to get people to buy large amounts of gold. Plain and simple.

How does gold help you finish this event?

[Ram]

first prize is a gun with 371 attack and 305 defense! ;)

[bfspider]

How does gold help you finish this event?

After you start building a building or upgrading a building you can spend gold to finish the building/upgrading.

It was one of the first things that they covered after you built the laundromat in the tutorial.

[Justsimply]

Dock gun first prize, 300 att 2xx def...so not worth 75mil...
First upgrade cost anyone?

[Ram]

too much for you

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

The ROI on this building is terrible, one of the worst in the game right off the bat. 127 days sans bonuses. Will be very curious to see what the next upgrade will bring to the table.

[murf]

uhm, you also got a income building with that $75mm....

[Justsimply]

Nah. I got this in the bag..I just don't buy gold, so I don't waste my TJ gold on this building to find out

[murf]

It was one of the first things that they covered after you built the laundromat in the tutorial.

And where are you getting all the in-game cash you need for the upgrades? Very few if any, have incomes to buy all the upgrades. Total cost approaches $20B.

[bfspider]

I doubt many people can reach that, unless, they are buying in-game cash with some cold hard cash.

[the_brein]

Rats. I'm one of the many people that had been requesting more limited edition buildings. Kinda regretting it now.

[murf]

I doubt many people can reach that, unless, they are buying in-game cash with some cold hard cash.

That was my point with my first post, before you made some stupid comment about the tutorial...Gold is useless in this event, unless you are also going to buy vaults of cash as well.

[BigMoney]

The ROI on this building is terrible, one of the worst in the game right off the bat. 127 days sans bonuses. Will be very curious to see what the next upgrade will bring to the table.

They switched the Pagoda from Type B to Type A a few days into the event, which made the Pagoda a beastly building. We'll see about this one.

[bfspider]

That was my point with my first post, before you made some stupid comment about the tutorial...Gold is useless in this event, unless you are also going to buy vaults of cash as well.

You can still spend the gold. "Useless" is a matter of opinion and how they want to spend it.

[Justsimply]

Hands up if you got upgrade cost modifiers....

[Biggsy]

Hmmm.. I have 5 mil in the bank, iph of 120k.. I'm no maths whiz but I think this maybe out of my budget! Anyone willing to let me rob 5 mil a day from their hood??

Sure lvl 168 here, come get some.

[Hey]

Lol i'm definitely skipping this event, and upgrading my nc's instead :) The pagodas were nice, but this is crazy.

[Justsimply]

This is what happens with LE buildings, pick and choose the ones you want. They won't stop..2 weeks we will have another

[Antheus]

Big Boys ! ....you asked for IT......you got it....so don't complain.....enjoy..!... :)

[Feng1234]

ROI worth the purchase?

[dudeman]

Yeah, the footprint on this building is ridiculous. Gree needs to give us more expansions. Do it and break the already broken game on the test server(s?), figure out how to fix it, and then release that in the live product.

Oh wait, this is Gree we're talking about. :p

On a sidenote, this building is uglier than the inside of a used diaper.

[dark_sorrow_]

So.... what lvl does one need to reach to earn such a high amount to be able to buy this building! Im lvl 49 with 6mil in the bank I dont think this building is within un reach :-(:-(

[Hey]

So.... what lvl does one need to reach to earn such a high amount to be able to buy this building! Im lvl 49 with 6mil in the bank I dont think this building is within un reach :-(:-(

I'm level 86. 30 mio in the bank and 480k iph. I'm not getting it...

[AFed]

Some have modifiers giving them over 70% off upgrades

[the_brein]

[sez]

Anyone else have the event go from 10 days to now 6 days ?

[dark_sorrow_]

Anyone else have the event go from 10 days to now 6 days ?

Yes! Me too

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

10 days, 4 hours, 21 mins

[Da_Boss]

My camper account has no chance with 174k iph and no mods.

My main account has 6.086M iph and -40% upgrade time and -51% upgrade cost. I'll be in all right shape to complete up to 6 I hope. No gold or real money spent.

[gcooldude]

I have 22 mil in the bank still no chance of getting this unless they allow like 12 or 14 days to get it. They really needs to allow more time to get it.

[Go4Seven]

48 hour collection... I wonder if the hit list event will require us to rob a dock mill, lol. At least you'll be able to find them at the higher levels, not like laundromats.

[bald zeemer]

You seriously had trouble finding LMs?

On topic: Sure, not everyone can get it. But it rewards a part of the game often left in the cold - iph. So it's good for those dedicated free players who spent a lot of time and effort. I have no problem with that - even if it's the only event in a long time I prI ably can't complete.

[Go4Seven]

You seriously had trouble finding LMs?

No, I didn't, but I'm relatively low level. I just read people complaining about low level building quests on here. It would be funny if it were a quest, though, in light of all the recent drama. Funny in an ironic sense.

Seriously, though, I like the building quests too. It seems to me that in-game cash had no purpose except to get more in-game cash. The only reason to upgrade buildings was to buy and upgrade better buildings. The limited buildings help us boost IPH and they reward high IPH with high stat items. They are also great quests for campers, who wouldn't necessarily participate in hit lists and wars.

People have been asking for new buildings for the higher levels and I'm glad they got one. I don't mind passing on this one and waiting for the next one.

[Alice]

This time I've got enough time to upgrade until lv7 but I may not have enough cash...not even with 3x -30% upgrade costs and 2.8M IPH. I need 1314m from lv1 to lv7 and I can only save about 600m in 8 days...

I think the purpose of this LE building is to make people spend real cash for in game cash

75 million entry fee is just greedy cash-grab. It only took Gree 2 events to ruin it completely.

[RijilV]

As a type B building this thing sucks. Payout is roughly 40% of a casino but at an elevated cost. As a type A building though, it would be pretty rockin' :)

[Erika_]

Wait till you see the upgrade prices..

exact Lv.1 -> Lv.2 upgrading cost = $125,250,000

[the_brein]

As a type B building this thing sucks. Payout is roughly 40% of a casino but at an elevated cost. As a type A building though, it would be pretty rockin' :) type a is the good one or type b? Forgive the noob question. I've heard conflicting reports.


48 hour collection... I wonder if the hit list event will require us to rob a dock mill, lol. At least you'll be able to find them at the higher levels, not like laundromats.that would start some serious wars. Imagine dumping all this money in to one of these things only to get it robbed? I'd hold a mean ole grudge.

[ironmonkey]

i hope the buildings doesn't dissappear, i burnt my money on two pagoda and upgrades!:eek: but 75 million?!? Seriously!?!

[Vito Corleone]

When I got the update this morning it said it was 10 days left of the event...now my goal says 6 days!!!
What the???

[groovdog]

And the rich get richer. $40 mil in the bank just robbed $10mil more but want to stay under 100 for at least 2 more boss runs. 8x8 and B. 6x6 and A and I might have been more excited. Only have 1 nightclub so far. Choices...

[rx22nv]

I'm so upset with this ridiculous Dockside mills building. I was excited to see a special edition building pop up, especially after how good the pagoda's were. So I sold off my 2 nightclubs and an office building to pay for one quickly only to discover that it yields 1.1 mil every 2 days. That is rubbish! So sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You "can't"do something in this game.
.WoW.
3.4 mill ip.
= 25 vaults of gold minimum.
And you claim this will be to hard.

[tehlolkid]

Meh, no cash. I will have more luck robbing this building xD

Yes I think we're getting the idea of gold grab here....nice stats btw way...had to attack you but lost:mad:

Always consult the forum grasshopper. There are a few here with real $$ and kind enough to tell us what makes sense and what doesn't.

[(CK) EL]

pagoda is a type A building, so i guess Dockside Mill is too.
Type A is much better than type B and as a type A lev 10 will pay 88.5mil /48h and not 35.4m that will pay if it is a type B building

[BigMoney]

And the rich get richer. $40 mil in the bank just robbed $10mil more but want to stay under 100 for at least 2 more boss runs. 8x8 and B. 6x6 and A and I might have been more excited. Only have 1 casino so far. Choices...

How do you have a casino if you're under level 100?

The Pagoda started as Type B, and a couple days into the event, they changed it to a Type A. I could be mistaken, but it was Type B when I last checked.

[Jazza]

Glad its expensive, a little something forthe high level / iph players..... Finally !

[dudeman]

Glad its expensive, a little something forthe high level / iph players..... Finally !

Too bad the footprint is such a big trade off. I had to drop buildings to make room. :(

[Leezygeezer]

I just dropped a load of def buildings and my crappy modern art houses to make enough room for 2 of these monsters! If they don't change to a type a building they will be level 1 for a loooong time!

[Jacko]

Yes, got them. Feel cheated as they cost damn expensive with such pathetic Payout, disgusting!

[dloh1970]

Just curious...how much does it cost in real money to get the final lvl 10 building?

[nopenopenope]

Just curious...after all the money spend on this building...whats the payoff? 200mil per 48 hrs?

Try checking the first page of a thread.

[(CK) EL]

The Pagoda started as Type B, and a couple days into the event, they changed it to a Type A. I could be mistaken, but it was Type B when I last checked.
i don't know how it started but now it pays me 18m (plus modifiers) /24 h which means it's type A.
Level 1 buildings pay the same no matter what type they are.

i ll be able to be certain about the dockside tomorrow but i would bet it's also type A which means the payouts are
$1.180.000
$3.540.000
$7.080.000
$11.800.000
$17.700.000
$25.960.000
$36.580.000
$49.560.000
$64.900.000
$88.500.000

[BigMoney]

Sorry, by the "it" in "it was Type B last I checked," I was referring to the Dockside Mills. The Pagoda starting as a Type B and turning into a Type A a couple days into the Chinatown event is 100% fact. I was just trying to say that I believe the Dockside Mills is currently Type B, but it could change to Type A later, just like the Pagoda.

[bjornrey]

If this is a type B building I will do nothing more than buy both of them just for the sake of it but will put my focus on upgrading the pagodas and NC's.

Will save for the next limited building instead, will only make it to lvl 2 or 3 with my 2mil/hour with no mods.. :/

[Lars]

Just curious...how much does it cost in real money to get the final lvl 10 building?

Are you referring to costs of real money to buy ingame money? If yes, it depends on your IPH as the amount of ingame money you get with a vault of cash scales with your income.

[nytelock]

Worth it or not, I'm still gonna get at least one. Looks awesome to me.

[murf]

ROI worth the purchase?

I'd say yes, but the upgrades are pretty poor. The L2 upgrade ROI equates to L4-L6 of the higher end buildings....

For example, with my modifiers, I see ROI on L2 upgrade for Mills ~195 days, for comparison, my condo to L6 ~229 and my hotel to L5 ~176.

So for higher level players, based solely on ROI, I'd say buy and just work the upgrades into your current rotation. But, of course you do get items with the upgrades for the next 10 days.

[murf]

Bug or not...currently it says 6 days!

My timer in the goals says 9days 17 hours

[kingofwale]

what's level 2 item??

Don't tell me nobody has gotten it.

[jmeijer]

Too bad, just started my 2,8 billion dollar upgrade for NC to 10. I had just enough left for one Dockside Mill building, but probably not enough for another one directly after the first one is done.

[Vito Corleone]

My timer in the goals says 9days 17 hoursLet me guess you are still building it right? haven't finished lvl1 yet.

[Max Power]

Anyone who sells nightclubs to build one of these deserves disappointment. The NC is still the best building in the game.

These event buildings are, like all events, set up to make you spend to complete the mission. You don't just give away a 5000/6000 weapon for free. You will probably have to buy cash upgrades, and definitely have to buy gold to expedite the contruction to finish in time. I am almost 9mil an hour anth 2.5bil in tha bank and I can't do it.

Still, I will build a couple just to have em, and might even upgrade one to get a weapon. New buildings are always good.

[kykboxr]

Not pleased being a type B. if they change to A ill upgrade

[murf]

Let me guess you are still building it right? haven't finished lvl1 yet.

Yep...you're telling me it's going to change after my build is complete?...wow

[PSUMike]

This is what happens with LE buildings, pick and choose the ones you want. They won't stop..2 weeks we will have another

I agree. The Pagoda was a great building. This one is a waste of money. Even if I could afford it, I would be passing. I have like 17 mil stored up and an IPH at 450k so this one is well out of my price range.

[Bala82]

The only problem is what if next one is 100 million and next 200 million

Pattern is every Limited price increases so if you can't afford this one there no way you will be able to afford 3rd one in 2 weeks and so on.

[groovdog]

How do you have a casino if you're under level 100?



The Pagoda started as Type B, and a couple days into the event, they changed it to a Type A. I could be mistaken, but it was Type B when I last checked.Always get them confused. Its nightclub. Happy to provide code if you dont believe me :)

Did find a 93 with a casino, an office building, and one other 100+ building today. Were these ever not >100?

Holy ****e bro, you're my hero, throw me some cheese!!!

[Tommy Two Toes]

Done. Next event, please.

[Bala82]

Done. Next event, please.

you done all upgrades or you just build one ?

[Tommy Two Toes]

you done all upgrades or you just build one ?

Neither. I'm just done with this event, since I can't afford to build one.

[murf]

Anyone who sells nightclubs to build one of these deserves disappointment. The NC is still the best building in the game.


I agree with this building, although I would have recommended selling a L1 (maybe even higher) NC for 2 Pagodas...just because the Pagodas were limited edition and such a great building. Pagodas might be the 2nd best building in the game...L10 is slightly better than Palms and Casinos at ~L7 or L8. Then I guess you want Palms and Casinos for the extra income.

You can always go back and get the NC, once you missed the Pagodas, you've missed them for good. The Mills are a different story.

[cditti]

I wish I had in game cash took me 2 days and I finally got 1 of them. I might get it to level 2 by the timer runs out. Or build another just to have it. I just spent a ton of cash on buying weapons and some tanks... :(

[robba]

Im gonna build them both, but not upgrade (yet). I like to have all 12 / 24 / 48 hour buildings.

[(CCK) Cam]

type a is the good one or type b? Forgive the noob question. I've heard conflicting reports.

that would start some serious wars. Imagine dumping all this money in to one of these things only to get it robbed? I'd hold a mean ole grudge.I thought type A was supposedly better.

[crazymac]

anyone can i borrow 20 billion please

[kingofwale]

really?? nobody has gotten to level 2 yet??? Is gree using an embargo on this?

[Feng1234]

I'd say yes, but the upgrades are pretty poor. The L2 upgrade ROI equates to L4-L6 of the higher end buildings....

For example, with my modifiers, I see ROI on L2 upgrade for Mills ~195 days, for comparison, my condo to L6 ~229 and my hotel to L5 ~176.

So for higher level players, based solely on ROI, I'd say buy and just work the upgrades into your current rotation. But, of course you do get items with the upgrades for the next 10 days.

Always respect your opinion murf. Buy it is!

[Limerick]

really?? nobody has gotten to level 2 yet??? Is gree using an embargo on this?

My upgrade to level 2 will be done in a day... emptied my bank account and sold some buildings.

I think the new mission buildings are an exciting change, unfortunately this one is just too pricey for the upgrades, and I'm over $1.3M an hour.

[Alice]

I've just built one and got no Dockside gun in my inventory.

[dudeman]

I've just built one and got no Dockside gun in my inventory.

I didn't see a splash screen or anything. Restart your game. My gun showed up after I did that.

[kingofwale]

I got the splash screen, and now I will go check...

[Euchred]

I've just built one and got no Dockside gun in my inventory.

Just to be 100% clear it's called the "Dock guard gun"

[Alice]

Just to be 100% clear it's called the "Dock guard gun"

Thanks, just found it, looks like a previous Laser gun

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

Where yat with the updates Beardy??

[BIGRED2277]

more stuff gree wants people to buy gold for, thats all

[Alex_]

Level 2 - 20 xp Dock worker gloves 361 attack 541 defence

[Alex_]

I forgot to check the whole income before upgrading.

Current income $29500... (Level 2)
New income $51625.. (Level 3)
Upgrade cost $146,417,250

I have Building output +25% And upgrade cost -30%

[kingofwale]

Level 2 - 20 xp Dock worker gloves 361 attack 541 defencethat's just garbage for 125 million dollars....

anyone got level 3 prize???

[Kepheus2nd]

I forgot to check the whole income before upgrading.

Current income $29500... (Level 2)
New income $51625.. (Level 3)
Upgrade cost $146,417,250

I have Building output +25% And upgrade cost -30%

So it is a type B building, i.e. income(lvl2) = 2 * income(lvl1). Type A buildings have income(lvl2) = 3 * income(lvl1).
I get income lvl 1 1,622,500
Lvl 2 3,245,000

Upgrade cost to lvl 2 87,675,000
Duration 30 hrs

All incl. +10% Tycoon +25% Syndicate Building Output
-30% upgrade cost

[bald zeemer]

that's just garbage for 125 million dollars....

anyone got level 3 prize???
It's not a $125m weapon, its a building upgrade that will continue to pay out forever more.
Also, it unlocks the potential for further, much better, weapons. 7 of the 10 weapons available from this LTB are 1k+. You can't buy anything ballpark equivalent with in-game cash.

tl:dr - IF you have the in-game cash then the event will pay off handsomely. If you don't, it's not the event for you.

With everyone complaining about the piling on of events the fact that different events are effective for different people should be an enormous tip-off that it's time to pick & choose according to play style.

I don't think I'll be able to afford to upgrade it past level 5 in time..its seems worth it though for me in then long run as long as I have them they'll up my iph will be able to upgrade in the future its kind of makes up for the fact I put most my skill points in attack / defence so I struggle with the pve and PvP events.

Just a question. maths isn't my strongest point but am Im enforcer class atm am I right in thinking that if I upgrade my class to get 10% extra building payout (good fella class) that because a very large chunk of my income per hour is from night clubs and that they collect 4 times a day opposed to 24hr or 48hr buildings. Would it likely work out more than just a 10% increase in IPH?

[bald zeemer]

No, 10% is 10%, regardless of payout times.

On a related note, it is well worth the upgrade, as increased iph as well as decreased recovery time for energy/stamina (whichever you don't currently have) are both very, very handy for LTQs.

Also, the class bonuses are added to base figures, so will stack with any mods you later get/syndicate bonuses.

[Max Power]

It's not a $125m weapon, its a building upgrade that will continue to pay out forever more.
Also, it unlocks the potential for further, much better, weapons. 7 of the 10 weapons available from this LTB are 1k+. You can't buy anything ballpark equivalent with in-game cash.



Exactly. And the definition of garbage also depends on your income.

Not every event os for everybody. At the rate Gree is producing them, it's good to have some that some guys will want to take off.

I am a little bummed you have to be level 20 to get this. My camper wants it, but I am not leveling up to get it.

[Señor Chang]

Me thinks this is a total waste of cash. :cool:

[jmeijer]

125 million is +- 18 hours to save when I wouldn't have an upgrade in progress. Seems like a good deal for a weapon with 350/500 stats.

[kingofwale]

what's the level 3 and 4 prize???

[Ken1378]

How much cash would you spend for a 361/541 armor? We all know the Impenetrable Vest is 33/90 for $4.4M and lots of people buy that item, so at the very least, you would think 361/541 would still be enticing at in the $30M - $40M range. And a $90M upgrade that increases your IPH by $35k (after bonuses) isn't awful. Especially when it only takes 36hrs. Similar to an Office Building L4 upgrade except way faster.

And I for one, am happy to see an expensive building. The low level players have such an advantage in most events. This is a very small bone being thrown to the high level players. That and other LTQ.

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

This is not a bone being thrown to HL players at all. A bone would have been an expensive building with a decent payout not this trash. Could have at least made it a type A. So now you've got the low level players happily upgrading their 2nd pagodas while we're stuck with this monstrosity. Too stubborn not to buy/upgrade.

[Ken1378]

You're right, its a crappy building, but build time is not the same as upgrade time, and the L1 is a good buy. The L2 isn't great, but like I said above, it's not awful either. I'll take the combined $100k IPH increase and 2 nice items, then start saving for the next one (hopefully another Type A).

I agree with this entirely...good L1 purchase, ok L2 upgrade, I'll do as many upgrades as I can in the 10 days, but my 2nd one probably won't see L2 for a long time.

[Da_Boss]

Its not a waste as you are getting lasting items for in-game cash which is essentially infinite. If you build your economy you're going to get that money back so why not go for the sweet items?

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

Obviously some of the 1 hr buildings look pretty bad when collected twice daily, but assuming perfect collections, it is literally -the- worst building in the game.

Sure if you have L3 Casinos, Office Buildings, Hotels, Credit Agencies and L6 Nightclubs and Pagodas, it makes sense to buy this building. But you wouldn't upgrade it to L2 until all those buildings were at least L5 and NCs/CP L8. You can probably count the guys on one hand who will actually be able to justify digging right into this building.

The only thing it has going for it is the upgrade times are relatively short. And of course it's a limited building, so you have to buy it now even if it's not financially the right move yet. And of course I'm greedy for items so I'm wasting cash on upgrading it. Still haven't decided whether or not I will take it to level 3 or save the cash. I'll probably buy the second for a rainy day. I'm only level 53 so I don't have access to all those type Bs listed above.

[kingofwale]

wow.. if nobody bought this and are paying to upgarde this. Gree really needs to think about how to LOWER the asking price.

75 million dollars purchase for a type B building?? Are you serious??

[murf]

Dude, it's been said before. You are also getting a 371 / 305 Gun with that purchase. The Siege Launcher is 70 / 42 and costs $6.8m. This gun is more then 5x's greater then the Siege Launcher which puts it at $34m if you assume $$/stats increase linearly. $75m for the gun and building is still cheap.

Oh, and Casinos are $60m and a type B building.

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

What's the L3 item, anybody know??

[dudeman]

What's the L3 item, anybody know??

Dockside Dumptruck - 682/558

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

Thanks dudeman.

Might just take a pass on it, build no 2 and continue upgrading the 2nd Pagoda.

Try and have 200 or 300m on hand for next building in the hopes that it will be better.

You don't know L4 item, do you?

[dudeman]

I was sent a photo of a table of all ten prizes, but it's so damn blurry I can barely make out most of the item names. I'm currently about five hours away from finishing the level 3 upgrade myself, so right now I'm just trusting this blurry photo... Possibly photo of a photo of a photo.

[(CK) EL]

unfortunately it's a type B building so as soon as the event end, the 2nd mil will stay in level 1 for long time

[BigMoney]

I heard recently that the limited buildings are still available for purchase after the event ends... can anyone without two Pagodas confirm if they can still buy a Pagoda?

[(CK) EL]

i was told that pagoda was there until mil took it's place

[Fatherllama]

Pagoda was there all through the Chinatown battle on my camper.

Well, after much effort (squinting, zooming, guessing) here is what I was able to get from that table I mentioned:



Goal. Item Name - item type - A/D


1. Dock Guard Gun - gun - 371/305

2. Dock Worker Gloves - armour - 361/541

3. Dockside Dumptruck - car - 682/558

4. Union Buster - melee - 1014/677

5. Conflict Medication - explosive - 1239/1015

6. Dockside Security - melee - 1173/1758

7. Dock Guard's Ride - car - 1488/2232

8. Dock Guard's Pistol - gun - 2541/2080

9. Inventory Manager - explosive - 3381/2255

10. Dockowner's SUV - car - 6763/4509

[Leezygeezer]

I'm gonna upgrade it to level 3, then build my second and leave it after that, probably till my NCs are past level 7 or more, these poxy LE building events have practically stopped my own hood development!
Still I have to admit I'm loving my new buildings, I was all built out after the casinos so any new building is a must buy!

Damn you gree for supplying things I must have in my hood!! Lol

[dudeman]

...

Yes, it's a bit of a catch 22. Impossible to ignore but a complete wrench towards any existing development plans.

That said, this is the first type of goal/event that actually offers an incentive for all players to develop their hood/IPH. This ultimately benefits everyone in the game.

:D:cool::D

[psychic]

A quick question, I'm not sure what would be the better call. I currently have a little over 1mil IPH and around 90 mil banked. I've build the first one and now trying to save enough for the 2nd upgrade.
However, I don't think I'll be able to save enough for both the L2 upgrade and the 2nd building.
So what would be the better call, profit the L2 upgrade or the 2nd building?

if you are looking for a cash building, go with a Night club.. the only reason you are getting this building is because you want the item prize.

Go with the second building. The prize for the upgrade to L2 isn't phenomenal, and the long-term IPH boosting capability of the second building will make it easier to complete later LTBs.

[psychic]

Thanks for the replys.

I've got 2 L3 night clubs already. The new LE buildings are messing with my night club upgrades :(
I'm getting it because it's a decent building with a nice-to-have prize, but not a-must-have, even for a mostly free player.

I think I'll do that :)

In MW, Gree has had a new LE building for every war. Assuming they are now doing the same in CC, would it be better to just get the first mill and upgrade it... then start saving for the inevitable next LE building?

If you get a second mill, and they have a new LE building each time, I don't know if anyone will ever upgrade the second mill.

What are your thoughts? I'm personally leaning towards only getting one, and waiting to see if the next LE building is better.

[Bala82]

Giving this one a miss and saving for next one :)

[Leezygeezer]

Type b building? It's gonna take a big ol backseat in my hood this friggin monstrosity! 206 mill for a 5 mill payout? Glad I have my 2 -30% mods on building cost :)

My thoughts exactly Peppers. I will upgrade 1 to lev 2 for the units and take the pathetic ROI it gives me then save for the next LE. As close as these fights have been pushed together, we wont be upgrading much else in between.

can anyone report on if the dockside mill is still a type B building?

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

Sure is.. don't get your hopes up Bruce

[Froddo]

Its still type B

[Akkoo]

Pagoda was type A, much better investment.

[photocat]

I already found a Dock Mill and robbed it. It was very nice. Now I have beer money for the weekend.

Yes that's how I roll.

Damn.. Can't afford to build that to 10... Good job those that can

[lordsagacity]

Damn.. Can't afford to build that to 10... Good job those that can
I can afford up to 8 with most upgrade modifiers, 8mil IPH and no saving. I doubt if anyone can go to 9 without any purchased cash or withdrawal from bank.

[bald zeemer]

There are a couple of people with IPH's around $20m, and a large amount of mods. They were able to.

But for us mere mortals it was impossible.

[cditti]

I have enough t go to level 4. Only not enough ti.e before event ends. Will I get the item? If it finishes after the timer? I think the answer is no but just wanted to see if anyone in the past did this? If not ill just keep it for the next limited buildings.

[Dipstik]

No. You have to finish during the event.

[My2cents]

Is there an accurate cost upgrade and income received for DM yet? I have a level 1 & 2; accounting for bonuses the originally posted is slightly off.

[BigMoney]

I don't know why the first post got them wrong (e.g. the screenshot says the Dockside Mill has an output of $1,180,000, but the list has level 1 at $1,100,000). Buildings all follow a specific pattern for their level output based only on the type of building (Type A or B) and their base payout (in this case, $1.18 mil). The DM is a Type B, which means the output should be something like this:

L1. $1,180,000
L2. $2,360,000
L3. $4,130,000
L4. $6,490,000
L5. $9,440,000
L6. $12,980,000
L7. $17,110,000
L8. $21,830,000
L9. $27,140,000
L10. $35,400,000

Next, all you need to do is apply your syndicate bonus to those payouts. E.g. if you have a 25% money output increase, you would multiply the number by 1.25.

[VNX Alano]

thx all for interesting comments - think only with gold you can upgrade (time and cash) but with gold probably cheaper to buy direct gold items

[bald zeemer]

If you have the cash on hand, then this is significantly cheaper than directly buying gold items. I believe the total was around the 2400 gold mark if you had no upgrade time mods. That gives you 7 1k+ stat items. Whereas to buy directly with gold you can only get 600ish on LEs, and typically those are at around 900 gold a pop. It's not even close.
