Once again, GREE(d) has taken away boss battles again! What GREE(d) does is play mind games with us. First, they take away the boss event, and people rage. Then they add it back in next time and everyone thinks that GREE(d) listens and are happy... All just a bunch of mind games that piss people off!

It's clear that they don't listen and their tickets still take forever! If you hear back from them within 2 weeks, you're one of the extremely lucky ones! How will they screw things up next? ...

Doubt it. They just messed around with the epic boss recently, adding in the level 20 and 30 item. They're not going to play with it again anytime soon.

It's almost as if they're decreasing the frequency of an event that encourages camping (i.e. not playing the game) in order to increase the frequency of an event that encourages you to level up.

Bosses are boring chores that cater to low levels while asking higher levels to spend a lot for something that is free for some and not for others.

Gree can't discontinue boss events soon enough, IMO. LTQs are much closer to being fair for everyone than bosses ever will be.

Agreed. Two LTQ's with same exact name is more than likely a typo. One was probably meant to be the boss event and will get corrected.

This gentleman is indeed correct. There won't be a boss this go around. Besides now that bosses require you to beat them 50 times they are no longer al that great of a stat boost for campers because by the time you beat it you've leveled up at least 5 times.

as usual I completely agree. they are throwing ltq's out left and right they want to stop campers, for some reason :)

yep that is it in a nutshell, so by adding all these ltq's witch have been getting worse and worse they want us to level (even tho I like being in the 50's, well 60 today with 100k stats)

even tho some ppl make an excellent point as they just messed with the E-bosses adding the new prizes, I don't think that was to hard for them . I just moved into a brand new tier last boss, point of the tiers is make it hard for me/us since this boss has a good deal higher health than the last tier....well I 1 hit him until level 13 and stopped at 35/36 cuz the main prize was 50 and I didn't want the xp when there might be the main prize at 40 next time which I should have no trouble getting 100% for free. Might ask what the point of all that was well its this with gree's "mistake" of the reverse prizes everyone got a pretty huge stat boost(even tho I love seeing the idiots who stopped right before the coupe, some prolly saying what is the point there getting worse, yeah -30% to upgrades really sucks, I get a good laugh.
so I do think there won't be one this time and they are gonna do every other , but now that they have the time and understand what there "mistake" did I think they will make the bosses stronger even tho I quite enjoy what they got now lol

Is it just me, or is anyone else having issues with the most recent Soviet Shuffle LTQ starting? It shows as 'In Process', but has not started in my game. I have restarted the app many times and even did a couple low level jobs to see if it kicked it in, but as of now, nothing!

I will admit that the mistake on listing all of the top prizes backwards in the last boss fight was great, so there is one benefit to Gree messing up...

What he meant was that GREE is usually very late with starting events. Most likely it'll be another hour or two before the LTQ begins.

The boss events allow you to get your stats very high at a low level. I've gotten most of my stats from the boss events and almost average 2k stats/level

One other General questions that I know probably doesn't belong in this thread:

Ive been playing for about 7 months. my level is 163 and my attack is about 130k so nothing special.
I notice most people try not to level up. reason?

secondly, when I add to my attack defense stats on leveling up...what exactly does that go to?

Lastly, what's the best technique for the epic boss fights? how do they determine toughness, what are tiers etc?

1. You get less ip and you get closer to the shark tank

2. No idea what you were trying to say but if you're talking about skill points its a random factor that assists you in battle basically

3. You're in teir 5 (final tier) so don't worry about trying to finish boss events its much too late for you.

The last two LTQs were quite good (I'm only referring to completing the Elite mode, I'm not a camper so I'm not considering things like stats per XP or anything like that)-- the Pappada Boom one (3511/4653) and the Cobra Cycle one (7800/4200). The Pappada Boom one had really good stat items for cheap (gold-wise, I mean), and especially because they used most of the early maps which I (and probably a lot of other regular LTQers) had pre-hit. The Cobra Cycle one was a lot more expensive gold-wise, but they had much stronger items (7800/4200 is the best LTQ final prize yet). It seems like GREE is still experimenting with the best way to squeeze money out of people, as they change entirely from one LTQ to the next. E.g. Pappada Boom had a final prize for Normal mode and then started over with weak prizes again, but Cobra Cycle kept the prizes constantly increasing from Normal mode to the Elite mode.

LTQs are for high level players, boss events for low levels. LTQs give good stats, but also a lot of XP, whereas boss events have good stats per XP. These players are called "campers," preferring to remain strong at a low level than to level up.

Your tier is level 101-250. The boss is almost unbeatable without gold. If you really want to know a trick, hit the boss 3 times, wait a minute, and hit 2 times to get an extra hit. When you regen health, wait 26 minutes and hit 2 times instead of 1.

Well let's just sit out the next 15 minutes then :)

With so many LTQ going on, I will wait for posts to see if it's worth to start. I might just continue preparing my hoods to finish another LTQ without gold. Finished too much of them with too much gold until gree screwed up, now it's a goal to finish an elite without gold :)

IP is influence points, or what you score in syndicate wars.
The shark tank starts just below level 200(I believe) and is when level 250s can attack and rob you.
The boss event is impossible for you because you are above level 100, and boss 50 has 16 million health.

07-15-2013, 04:03 PM

Campers on lower tears can finish the Boss lvl 50 within 4 hits on level 50 and can keep doing level 50 over and over again getting many items for relatively low xp. My level 40 camper did last boss over 100 times and got 40 rares :)

IP = influence points, those points you earn in syndicate wars.

The tiers are levels 1-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100, 101-250. Your level determines the boss tier you're in, as the boss has different amounts of HP at each tier. The Tier 5 boss (levels 101-250) is much, much harder to kill than any of the other tiers. At level 100 (tier 4), you need something like a 117k raw attack to beat the level 40 boss for free (can't remember off the top of my head what boss 50 is since I only had to go to 40 when I was tier 4). At level 101, Tier 5, the level 40 boss needs a raw attack of something like 892k, and the level 50 boss is a raw attack of over 1.2 million.

Spending a ton of money will be the easiest way, but you probably aren't one of those people who spend hundreds a month.
Some missions require multiple hits, for example, say one takes 7 hits to beat, hit it 6 times before the event starts, and get the 7th hit during the event to save a ton of energy.

Either BUY gold and fly through, OR prepare your hoods by hitting everything 1 shy of finishing the job, so in the quest you only need 1 hit to finish each job.

Since I stopped worrying about leveling, I've enjoyed the game so much more. Sure, boss events are good, but they are only a fraction of what the game has to offer.

To those who continue to avoid playing the game how it was meant to be played, at what point do you stop camping for boss events?

sure is easy to tell whos high level and who isnt..

all higher level players love the LTQ since they have the energy to do them, and they dont get nearly as many level ups as a low level player would.
low levels love the bosse since its their chance to get some good gear. and yes, its not really fair that the reward items are the same for all levels... but since luck determines what item you get, those LLP may not always get the stat boost they're looking for.
however, you higher level players are able to check the forum, see what rewards are given, and choose to either complete the LTQ, or pick where you want to stop depending on the reward vs exp gain. thats not something bosses offer. in fact during the last boss event, my LLP got mostly crap the boss, with very few rares and only a handful of uncommons.

each have their good and bad points, depending on the player. I say keep it all.. at least this way the LLP will have a good start in stats and keep this new style of game play competetive at all levels. the rewards a boss offers is countered with the rewards most LTQ will give when you look at total gains from both

Relatively speaking, yes. I've loved LTQ's since they started, and I am just now level 98. I don't dislike boss events, but I'm not going to skip all other events just to maintain a decent shot at going far in one event.

If they gave a boss eventvthisvtime around it would have meant 2 boss events in one calendar month and they don't want to do that. Unless they eliminated it all together, there should be one right after next war ends on Aug. 5.

Since the boss events are very popular for all those under level 101, it would be real cold of them to cancel them just because they help campers.

Also, due to the huge stat inflation from syndicate bonuses/prizes/modifiers, there's no way for a brand new level 1 player to get to a point where any serious syndicate will accept them unless they camp for a while and do boss events till they reach enough attack points to be a viable scorer during battles. So ending boss events would not be a wise move.

There is no reason to remove boss event unless a new type of boss event comes out to replace it.
Variety keeps this game popular, Gree also need some fresh players to feel the addiction of stats and start spending.

Once again, GREE(d) has taken away boss battles again! What GREE(d) does is play mind games with us. First, they take away the boss event, and people rage. Then they add it back in next time and everyone thinks that GREE(d) listens and are happy... All just a bunch of mind games that piss people off!

It's clear that they don't listen and their tickets still take forever! If you hear back from them within 2 weeks, you're one of the extremely lucky ones! How will they screw things up next? ...


Maybe you should consider drying that eye, lil' guy. Everything in life can't be all peaches and cream. Would you like me to send you a sext? Maybe that would cheer you up?
