haha.. Sounds like you are going for it, Deadwater. ;)

to be honest, if you have that much vault, why do you need the +1? use your gold to finish and you will still end up with more.

Deadwater

Yeah let's give a super big game changer to two or three FCS members that plan to finish with the same amount. Although they don't even need the modifier.

Your lack of support towards the 99% is not shocking..but you are part of it. Instead of making this about an argument or disagreement on how we "should or shouldn't" behave/react. Lets keep this focused on how gree once again gave us the middle finger.

I never get bent out of shape when I don't get shiny things meant for big spenders only. Honestly I'm glad it will only be one person with this modifier instead of half the game because I'm not paying for it no matter what.

My guess is that someday ill climb over the cold dead corpse of whoever buys this on my way to being the strongest player in crime city.

Yeah, this sucks. And tbh, it probably won't encourage any more people to spend gold. We all know it's going to someone in FC, so I don't see anyone other than those 59 paying during this event.

I had the same thought... I'm usually trying to save money as fast as I can so I can afford the next upgrade as soon as the current one is done. If I could do two at once, I'd just be doing sub-optimal upgrades because that's what I could afford at the time.

I will be completely honest, I am shocked. For one reason. In kingdom age they have these modifiers and have released them in LTQs. I don't know where they might have put out the very first one they released but I'm in a guild with a player that can upgrade 5 buildings due to having two of those modifiers won from different LTQs.
So I'm surprised.

It was me being honest towards you directly. Didn't have to do anything with your previous comments.

My bet is that this isn't going to be the only one. Chances are they'll release more of these in easier to win formats later on, but only the biggest spender will have the most modifiers. It's happened with other modifiers in the past.

Look at it this way. There is no reason to say screw Gree because Gree has just screwed itself out of a huge amount of money. They are offering a bonus via an auction event where the players who are most likely to win the event are people who least need the bonus. They could have made this into a huge cash cow. Apparently everybody has been wrong about them. They don't actually care about money. Anyway cheers to whoever wins. I won't be spending any money on this event.

TZora
07-25-2013, 09:03 PM
this is not the last time gree is rolling out the multiple builds upgrade thing. they may roll it out on other events in near future. this could be just for testing if their shoot really works and of course, make the most money out of it. so who knows ....

You just discredited your whole argument in that first line. The whole 99% argument is bs. You want stuff that is easy to get should be your argument. If this was a game changer, then it should go to the person who earned it the most. I like your argument though, from now on all game changers should be available as a 1 hit pvp ltq available to every player. If you have spent gold on this game, deadwater, then I should be entitled to every one of your items cause I'm a free player. Is that fair?

I agree. Honestly I think if they had set it for the top 250, they could have gotten even more money. Because then a lot more people would think they have a shot, and spend a lot more accordingly. By putting it at the #1 prize, very few people will go all out thinking they can get it.

Its a shame, The little guys really need this type of bonus and everybody would have a benift as you would have more high level builds to rob.

I have to agree with you here. This is a test to see if it works in the game.

definitely .. better to piss off one rather than pissing off the whole cc community. they add anything new to the game, its no surprise 10 other things break up. then they need tens of fixes to fix the messed up coding .. and the vicious circle goes for months .. to say the least, i have ZERO faith in gree updates now. i can just hope this new 'multiple building upgrade' doesn't make the sky fall on the whole cc community lol..

(no offense meant to the champ who gets the multiple buildings upgrade)

I have decent IPH, but not enough to make this mod a must have. Not spending gold on this event, but will open cases in hopes of getting 15 or even 20.

...is that whoever ends up winning this will not need it. To win this item, you'll need to spend at least $1,000 real world cash on buying gold to get all the cups - it will be more competitive than normal given the item.

But that person will almost certainly be someone with level 10 casinos, level 10 nightclubs, pagodas, etc, because to them money is no object. Why do they need to upgrade 2 buildings at once? At this point in the game, to them, money is really no object - they are probably already generating at least $100m a day.

As for the rest of us 99%, we are disadvantaged if an item like this becomes available within the reach of the 10% who spend money on gold. Then it becomes a problem as the game balance is massively disrupted, as it was when they intro'd the first modifiers, the emerald burner, exec coupe, explosive dice, etc.

It does not affect us if 0.00000000000000001% of game players can upgrade 2 buildings at once.

One final point worth bearing in mind - given the lesson we learned from the Exec Coupe debacle, this won't be the only time this mod is introduced. The person who pays out to win this one item is likely just getting a head start - a period of exclusivity where they and they alone can upgrade 2 buildings at once.

Well look at it this way. GREE is run by a bunch of coders who have made a popular product. They're not marketing/business experts.... so they're stumbling along in the dark via trial and error with that part of the business. Announcing this awesome bonus that everybody needs and then bringing it out in the way is a complete public relations blunder. It is a symbol of a lot of the underlying problems with the company really....a symbol that will be pissing people off every time the pop up add flashes in the users eyes upon log on. It also reminds a lot of this video....

my sweetie friend, the 'multiple builds upgrade' is a trump card and gree will make the most out of it. so forget that they will roll out this modifier only once. mark my words, "gree will award this modifier over and again in different events". and, eventually, there will be many with this modifier in the near future.

TenderPlacebo
07-26-2013, 09:44 AM
Agree, this will not be the only time we will see this.
They will test it here and see how many fight over it, then they will release it as a 3rd place prize and watch the money roll in. For all we know they might and probably will release this mod several times and there might be someone out there who can upgrade 4 builds at once.
Honestly, how could you possibly think this is the only time you will see this, like it will never be released again!?!?!
If you haven't realized it by now gree only cares about the dollars and as TZora said, this is their trump card and will milk it for all it's worth, which is a lot to most.

TZora
07-26-2013, 09:50 AM
the most important thing right now is, don't panic if you are not getting the modifier in this event lol .. don't overdo anything to fight for it. i'm sure, someone in the gree camp is hating me by now :p

Yes I was dissapointed at first, but guess what we'll probably have one in the next collect 10 maybe, unless they hold it back for 3-4 months.

I think I'm going to take a pass on this event. I don't like the looks or name of Blingmobile and it would take months before I could sink that eyesore off the top line of my weapons used summary after a fight or rob. All yours Tam and Co. You're welcome!

That said Gree needs to forget the fancy and go old school with their weapon selection and design.

I want to see avatars fighting with a belt, shoe, rock, car keys, stick, loose change or a sack of doorknobs.
