Any speculation on the new buildings cost? Think it's going to be higher or lower than the current 78,000,000 one?

What about the size and payout schedule?

How do you even know there will be a new Limited Time Building in the near future?

I don't, but the last 4 times there has been a new one shortly after the war.

I'm guessing lower.

Pagoda was super cheap, Dockside Mill was expensive, Toy Box was cheap, Transtech was expensive.

DM = TT, so my guess is it will be around the Toy Box price ($35mil?).

Noooo. I don't want to see anything that's 1-, 3-, or 8-hours. My 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours are all good. Anything else is rob-city for me.

I'm waiting for a shorter collection period time building, I think if there is a new one, it will by a 6 hour building costing $50 million.

Weve had a 12, 2 x 24, and 48 hour so far so i want something smaller. A 6hour to go alongside the nightclubs would be nice

I would like to see a break for 3 weeks like they had once in MW...so I can get my NCs up to 10.

If I remember well, the first was an 24H then 48H, 12H and 24H again.

So my guess would be another 48H building..

I'd like a break as well, but I bet it'll be a 6 hour building.

Hopefully no 14 hours building! They mostly clash with my sleep time...

I'm fairly confident it won't be a 14 hour building.

Yep, it'll be 48.

I'm hoping they only do 12, 24, or 48. I know many people that have gotten rid of all other buildings including their nc's just because it's hard to time pick-ups so that they don't clash with life, you know sleep, work, things of that nature. But then again there would be no one to rob if everyone could keep a tight schedule and collect everything on time.

Ill take 8, 12, 24, and 48 and hoping it will be under 50mil cuz i probably wont be able to get anything higher

"If you have to ask, then you can't afford it"

I haven't heard anything from the Beta testers, but maybe they've been scolded about leaks? The ones I know aren't that close to me anyway, so maybe I'm just not in the know.

I was hoping there'd be a round of cheapies for my LLP, but the only way that'd be reasonable is if they diminish the prizes, and they wouldn't sell nearly as much gold that way. Which brings me back to "if you have to ask..."

The Toy Box was cheaper than the DM/TT, and the prizes were roughly the same.

BM, I thought you came out against saving money for the next LTB?
Based on what you just said there, it would make sense to skip the expensive ones. (as far as LTB item procurement goes, I guess your analysis was IPH only?)

M@

Quite a logical leap there from A to B. What I basically said was that by skipping an LTB, the amount you save in the meantime is not enough to make up the difference in stats from lower stat items you missed out on (*once you get past a certain point, something like $1mil IPH). E.g. instead of taking two LTBs to level 7, you take one to level 9, but the prizes from LTB-A levels 1-7 > the prizes from LTB-B levels 8-9. Something like that.


Edit: second asterisk, it might make a difference if you have a really high IPH, e.g. $10mil+, to skip an expensive one for a cheaper Toy Box type one if it will allow you to take the Toy Box-esque one to level 10. Mainly because the final prize(s) have a much larger increase in stats. Personally, I don't like this type of guess-work as it's impossible to know the upgrade/build costs of future LTBs ahead of time (usually, cough), but on the assumption that this upcoming LTB is cheaper, a syndicate member of mine with $11.5mil+ IPH is trying this exact thing, trying to get to level 10 of the next one. I think he took the Transtech to something low, just to have it.

If we follow patterns, then the new LE building should cost about 40 million, and it would have a 48hr payout cycle.. let's wait and see.

DaemonPrince

Hopefully they don't bump up the price or if they do they at least need to make the ROI a little better. The transtech was just pitiful I mean 18mil more then a casino with 2/3 the income. I understand the prizes add a little extra incentive to get it but idk if it's that much more.

I've bought a few of the mission buildings, like the pagoda and the toy box, but I"ve never had enough to even think about upgrading them.

My question is this: if the next building is in the 40 mill mark, how much would it take to get it to level 10?
my IPH is pretty low 150k and I havent saved a 100m yet.

What are my chances of making even to level 5 or so?

Lastly, are their prizes everytime you complete an upgrade?

You should focus on upgrading your movie theaters, lofts, pagodas, and night clubs. Probably in that order. They are the higher level type A buildings and will get your IPH up.

All of us started with an IPH of zero. Some of the best economies didn't require real life cash or glitching.

During the event it will be really hard for you. Your IPH is considered low actually. Don't think about upgrading LTB to 5 or above. You'll need 700-800k to reach lvl5-6 in the allowed time of the event.
The prize is usually awarded at the moment you click the upgrade button, beside the construction phase that award it after completion.

So you suggest I skip the next building and focus on upgrading buildings to bring up my IPH in order to be able to upgrade the next mission building?

I can see the logic in that, but I can always steal a good 10mil a day, Im hoping that would be enough, but maybe not.

is there likely to be an end to the syndicate missions? and if they end, would they end the syndicate and their attributed bonuses?

I have a syndicate that's pretty empty, Im the only one who contributes, but it seems worth it for the bonuses. I don't compete in the battles. just curious if these types of territory missions are likely to continue. if so I'll keep investing for bonuses.

I would concentrate like others said get that IPH up. Hopefully you have the 30% off modifier to make them cheaper. I wouls work on getting MT,Lofts to 5 then work on the NC and Pagoda. Alternating between each one. To max one of the LTB's to 10 during the event you will need to get over 10mil IPH. I would just buy the building or 2 so you have them and worry about upgrading later.

thx. I'll get back to upgrading.

My philosophy is anything that is limited that does not cost real money (i.e., gold) is worth the investment. The other buildings will still be there when you are ready for them.

Im more interested in the prizes that we get at each level of upgrade than the buildings themselves. Im looking to raise my stats

Another noobish question. When we level up, we have the option of upgrading several of 4 stats: Attack, Defense, Energy, and Stamina. Mu question is when I add to Attack and defense, I don't see either go up in my stats menu.

What am I missing?

Don't stock up on attack or defense skill points. They dont add up on stats, they're junk. At most attack points help by providing 10 attack stats per skill point for boss events (worthless) and defense skill points are junk. They only get you some random luck factor for attacks/robs where your stats are close to your rivals

BigMoney
07-16-2013, 03:16 PM
Yeah that or bump up the price lol

I mean, that would actually be preferable (if you had the modifier). It's one of those things where if everyone has it (like the Executive Coupe goddammit), it's as good as no one having it. If they raised the costs of LTBs, it would hurt the people who don't have modifiers even more-- which thus provides a competitive advantage to those that do.




During the event it will be really hard for you. Your IPH is considered low actually. Don't think about upgrading LTB to 5 or above. You'll need 700-800k to reach lvl5-6 in the allowed time of the event.
The prize is usually awarded at the moment you click the upgrade button, beside the construction phase that award it after completion.

You are a magnitude of order off. I have the 30% off upgrade modifier, and my last Transtech upgrade was $700 million, so the cumulative total up to that point was well above that (but I don't feel like looking it up exactly). EDIT: I misread what you said, but you still need an IPH well above $700k-$800k to reach level 6. Mine is about $2.3mil, but I rob like a madman. I don't know what kind of IPH would be needed for level 5, but even with upgrade mods, I'd bet it's still at least $1.5mil.

If you have $40mil and a $150k IPH, you should buy a NC. Your focus should be getting that to level 2, and then building a second one and upgrading that to level 2. You should then upgrade them at least to level 3 before you consider participating in an LTB. How you get your IPH up enough to afford those upgrades is up to you.

Same here so I just got rid of all of mine less then 12hr and the 18hr ones. My iph took somewhat of a hit and I know a lot of people won't agree with this because nc's are like god's gift, but I enjoy not having to worry about being robbed and knowing exactly how much I can bring in in a day.
