Almost every day my wall is spammed with people trying to rob my buidlings and losing every other time, because their stats are crap. But since you can just wait to collect the money till you're done robbing, the only thing they lose is some wasted stamina.

Could you please make it harder for people to use that exploit? Maybe do something like making you lose 50% of your stamina if you fail. Or force people to pick up the money while robbing, and make them unbankable till you're back at your own city again.

I'm not loosing a terrible amount of money on those people, but it's still annoying to get these messages all the time, so I hope you'll take this into consideration. :)

A while ago they switched it so that the money goes into your account as soon as you rob/attack. People still will bank the money on a successful attack, so that you don't get any of it back. I agree that you should only be able to bank while in your own hood. You never get any back for robbery, however, so it is not relevant.

I used to use the "leave it on the ground" exploit, as well, but now have a much higher IPH than most of the people in my rivals list. I also find fewer no-bankers that have stats lower than mine, so I don't do much attacking these days.

My idea for this, in addition to not being able to bank away from home, is to have a chance for a counterattack, where if they are in your hood for more than a minute (30s?) then there is a chance for a counterattack where your mafia takes on their mafia without the benefit of their defensive buildings.

And remember to buy henchmen to go with them, otherwise when you upgrade the defense buildings they won't give their full value to your defense.

On Android you only lose stamina. That's not what I call a punishment. And I have plenty of Def, but that doesn't help much when people 20k under me can attack me...Yes I could just collect in time (which I usually do) but that doens't make it right. I have a feeling that you're one the idiots exploiting this "feature" and don't want to see it gone.

Dippy, may be a little harsh in this thread, but he's right...it's a feature where weaker opponents can rob stronger opponents. There are least 1,000 threads on this. If this weren't the case the weak would get more and more discouraged and the game would die....

Collecting on time is the only pure defense.

If you think you are frustrated, imagine how those gold spenders who bought dozens of Bodyguard Agencies and wasted the time to level them to 10, only to find out they are near worthless....

You will never have enough defense, in another thread bald zeemer pointed out that there is currently only 1 player in all of CC, who has "enough" defense. Every other player (yes, even those with over 1,000,000 defense) gets robbed. You have 3 options....learn to live with it, spend a ton of gold in frustration and still get robbed or play another game.

Forget all the other stuff, defence has always been ineffective. Blame Gree for being dorks, or yourself for not collecting your buildings on time. And since Gree will always be dorks, don't expect anything to change any time soon.

NO... No it isn't. I'll rob people (on my 3 android accounts but not on my iPad) and then attack them and lose, and lose $0. As long as the money is still laying on the ground it isn't in your hands to lose.

@Hey... stop complaining about things not worth complaining about! GO ROB SOMEONE!
Aren't you more angry that rival hoods with a lot of trees crash the game 30 times before they finally load?!?!

Android is still > iOS

1. money stays uncollected until it is picked up
2. we can see mafia codes from friend profiles
3. we can check Syndicate invite request stats by looking at their profile before we accept them
4. we have 100% multi-click loot drops
5. we don't ever catch the RedScythe plague after transfers

6. I'm sure I'm missing a couple more that make up for the fact that I still crash every 5-10 rival hoods and after 3-5rival hoods returning to my hood never loads my 8hr buildings and their collections are all sitting at the top of the hood.

I agree with the OP. The penalty for loosing a robbery is Pitiful.

I would recommend the following punishment.

- loose 100% of your stamina.
- permanent -20% cumulative loss of stamina regen.
- An alert, similar to syndicate alert, is sent to the victim telling them when the robbers buildings are due for collection.
- the loosers phone starts playing the sad walking away song from the incredible hulk regardless of phone volume. This should be done at random intervals.
- A help avatar, the cc equivalent of the ms office paper clip should pop up on the players phone whenever it is unlocked stating "so, it looks like your trying to suck at life..."
- The player should be changed to dipstik and boosted to level 250 for 20 minutes, and placed automatically at the top of the rival list.
- on the second failed robbery Joe Pesci should appear at the players house in real life to pistol whip them for being a ***** ***** and the actors fee charged via iTunes to the players account.


Or you can stop overreacting. Surely the pain and humiliation of knowing they have been beaten by someone far superior is punishment enough,

Could you just imagine the controversy if this 100% drop rate thing existed back in the days of the M4A1?

Dude, you obviously have no idea what you are doing. You don't lose money with an unsuccessful robbery. Only an unsuccessful attack. I lose money all time to people with like 50,000 attack lower than me because they make 25 attempts to rob a building. It is what it is, part of the game.

It does sound like you are really having trouble grasping how this game actually works though. I might find something a little more mental age appropriate. Zombie farm perhaps.

I am struggling to understand what the OP's complaint is. If someone robs you and fails and you want revenge then just go and attack them relentlessly. The problem is that often those people will have rubbish buildings and low IPH so the cash you earn isn't worth the XP. Happens to me all of the time and I rarely bother attacking them.

BTW, loved your Incredible Hulk music idea Ramshutu - this is something that they definitely SHOULD implement!

I made a suggestion to make the game more challenging because:

1: It's annoying with all those messages every day just from one or 2 people failing 25 out of 50 attacks.


I believe the game condenses similar newsfeed items, e.g. if I 10-0 you, you only get one message saying "You were attacked by BigMoney." Similarly if someone fails 20 robs in a row before punching a successful one through, you'd get one red notification and one green notification. I'm not sure if there is a limit on the number of feeds in a row you can get from one person but the most I've seen is 5 items of green/red/green/red/green.

More on topic, the only reason numerous failed attacks/robs from players a fraction of my strength bothers me is that they are almost guaranteed to be pushing someone more important (time traveler, super high IPH, etc) further down my newsfeed.

You're an idiot. The money is added to your account as soon as you win the rob. Whether you pick up the little picture of money on the ground or not is irrelevant. Now please stop talking.

On Android the money is collect when you leave the hood, when you shake the phone (and then all respect cash and loot are picked up off the ground) or when you click the money on the ground.

So the gentleman may or may not be an idiot, but in this case he is correct.

I have Android. How do you know the money isn't being silently deducted when you're depositing money into the bank? When you do the phone shake thing and it double-counts, it will fix the double count when you reconnect to the server (e.g. by depositing in the bank). It's been a long time since I've lost money from an attack (let alone an attack done while I was in the middle of robbing a hood), so I haven't been able to test this myself one way or another. But I used to think that I couldn't lose robbery money from an attack so long as I didn't pick it up yet, but I did notice one time a smaller amount being deposited into the bank (I don't keep a rigorous tally, but it was probably something like I had 23.3mil in the bank and 800k on hand yet a deposit resulted in a final total of less than $24mil, etc) while a newsfeed icon popped up to tell me I had been robbed a minute or so ago. This could have been due to the game overcounting my money from the rob and fixing it when I tried to deposit it, but I haven't been able to test the theory in a long time (which to do so rigorously would involve checking the rob result to have a running total of the money on the ground while I was being attacked).

Just as an update to this, someone with a significantly weaker attack than my defense (but within the ~25k striking range) just spent their entire stamina taking $180k cash off me from my no-banking. It takes up 6 items on my newsfeed-- green/red ($120k)/green/red ($30k)/green/red ($30k). It is highly unlikely that this person successfully landed 4 attacks in a row for $120k based on the difference between their attack and my defense, so I'm fairly convinced that there is some condensing going on (especially considering the more recent items are only for $30k).

This was followed by a post on my wall, to take up a grand total of 7 spots on my newsfeed (which could thus go up to 9). I find this takeover of my newsfeed infinitely more irritating than the fact that some idiot spent their entire stamina trying to take a piddling amount from me. I wish red/greens from the same person took up no more than 2 spots on the newsfeed total. Same thing with multiple posts on a wall.

i dont see why everyone is so hostile to the OP. insecure? he simply doesnt think its right that people with WAAAAAY crappier stats can get successful robberies on him. its just logical. the counter arguments win but nothing wrong with the OP's line of thinking.

of course the condescending elitest d-bag would have a pony for an avatar.

what about this: if you initiate a battle or robbery and lose, the victor gets one random item out of your inventory. boom, random fights disappear over night.

Good idea! I'm interested in hearing what other ideas you have to improve the game. Please tell me more!

well since you asked:

alchemy to turn bricks into gold
the removal of the random element in pvp
an official explanation of what att and def skill points actually do
some sort of skill element added in to the game
death to all ponies

You don't disappoint! Realize, of course, that I already understand why all of these are fantastic ideas, but I think you should probably flesh them out a bit for the haters in the forum and the developers who read here every day looking for good ideas. Can you please explain you reasoning in a bit more detail so everyone can appreciate them?

My idea has always been to have players sit out (unable to fight or rob for 30 minutes) every time I beat them 20-0. If you fail at robbing, perhaps you can't rob for 5 minutes. A time out system would be great. The other side is it will force the losers to avoid leaving links. Not that they don't already do that. Just saying...

Since we're dropping suggestions, how about...get this (moves closer)

A bank building given as a prize that automatically collects your money and deposit it for you.

Yes there is condensing going on, always has been. If a person robs you three times successfully, loses one, then has 7 more successful robs, you will see three lines on your newsfeed. It only posts when it nets a different result. That's why people can go 10-0 in an attack and it is one line instead of ten.

It also posts a new line every time you go back and forth between attacking and robbing, since they are different actions.

As to the OP, eventually you will learn. Gree will not spend a nickel on programming unless there is a way to monetize it. No way, no how. Suggesting game play changes to suit your style is the equivalent of talking about what you will do with the money when you win the lottery. It's a complete waste of time. Don''t get huffy when people tell you that you are wasting your time, because they are right.
