Spare a thought for the unfortunate players that are not in top syndicates

[Rastas]

Its a shame with this latest mess that people have been getting kicked out of syndicates. Luckily those of us in top 100 syndicates use third party chat apps and can find out immediately who was kicked out and organize to have them back in the syndicate.

Now spare a thought for those who are in the top 250, 500, 1000 and 4000. Most of these only use the in game forum to chat and those who got kicked out may not be able to get in contact with their syndicate officers and have to find another team to join.

I expect that in the upcoming days many of these players will be looking for new syndicates to join.

Out of all the stuff ups to date this has to be the worst!

Exactly why they should be compensated big-time to make up for all the high-ranking syndicate prizes they're going to miss in the coming wars! I'm so glad you agree with me! :P

[the_brein]

Agree 100%. Messaging apps are a must. Not just for war coordination, but for things like this.

Although I wonder if there are any successful syndicates that only use the in game forum.

I hear that FC don't use any forums at all. They are all telepathic :)

[the_brein]

I hear that FC don't use any forums at all. They are all telepathic :)i was actually being serious, but you may be quite right. One player could easily come in and declare battle, take down dl and wall then scout for himself. Then tap away. Wouldn't be too much gold compared to the amount he's gonna drop on that poor unfortunate soul.

Top 250 Syndicate using Line chat never use the in game forum.

spare a thought for those who "rely on gree" over a buggy app? spare a thought for those who don't have a backup plan? spare a thought for those who are not serious about the game or winning?

you've gotta be kidding .. well, this post doesn't even qualify for a joke.

I know you may find this hard to believe Tzora coming from fight club or a former fight club member but not everyone is a hardcore gold user in a top syndicate.

Many syndicates don't use third party chat and are not serious about winning because they play the game in their spare time for fun.

Some syndicates are carefree and have point requirements of only 5k or "just be active". Everyone has a different approach to this game and not everyone has the time to have third party chats or play to win as you put it.

Speaking of playing to win, you can't be too serious about that yourself as bald zeemer commented recently that you put up a very low IP score during your stay in fight club so thanks for trolling my thread.

Since when does somebody have to have loads of money to spend to be serious about the game or care about winning? Haven't you made the claims before that FC can finish stuff quicker by throwing gold at it? Who has invested more, the one who spends all weekend trying to help his top 250 group move up or the one who can make 1 mil IP in 5 battles?

Your ego astounds me. Or was your post supposed to qualify as a joke?

then those syndicates should not be bothered about losing members either. anyone who got booted off the syndicate, will find a way back in. hard to understand? why would i or anyone else waste a thought on such players/syndicates?

syndicates are a serious business and if you are serious, you will do whatever it takes to win the next slab (top 10, 25, 50, 100, etc). if you are not serious, you are asked to "spare a thought"? .. how does that make any sense? by the way, where was i high on ego? i'm just saying be sympathetic where you should be. not with someone who doesn't give a shoot to the game/syndicate/winning and then cry about being left out ...

[GU7 F4WK3S]

This thread hurts my head. All players need to realize you have two plans on how to play this game.

Plan A: Endure (bugs, glitches, hacks, gold spenders, free players, broken aspects, boredom, trolls)
Plan B: Quit

Feelings, frustration, enjoyment are just measurements you should use when considering moving from one plan to the next.

TZora - I'm not sure how early it is for you but for you to suggest syndicates are a serious business is beyond ridiculous. Syndicates are meant for fun. Players getting booted for no reason is neither fun nor good for 'serious business'.

I sympathize with those impacted but selfishly I use information like this to determine how I play the game. I want to know how deep this problem really runs. How many players were impacted. What caused it. How it's being addressed. Will it happen again.

and for that sweetie, there's already an 8 pages long thread out there. still, people wish to create a new thread ranting about the same issue, over and again. just tell me how many threads are needed for a single issue? you can have ur own thread in regards to the same issue, so can i. we all can create a new thread and cry about the same problem. just tell me, how many threads are enough?

The answers to your questions will vary depending on who you ask.

Syndicates and this game I think are fun when not taken like 'serious business'. A solid group of players that do their best, who appreciate, support and encourage the efforts of everyone else AND who collectively go numb to Gree's failings. That's fun.

I will assume one thread of whining is too much for you. Ask a troll and you'll find a number vastly different from yours. E-tears are troll porn. I'm probably somewhere in the middle. I enjoy the occasionally thread of rage.

They eventually fixed the problem that caused it (not necessarily the damage the problem caused) and now we find out this is happening with Crime City. No learning has occurred and if you think there is going to be a "here's some bonus gold" think again. It didn't happen with KA and its not going to happen here. We barely got an apology.

Once again you are missing the point. The top 150 syndicates are competitive organized and compete for prizes (well most of them are) and then you have those that don't like the stress of spending gold or only play a limited time a day and are relaxed.

These syndicates in the top 1000 and 4000 often don't use third party chat and rely on the in game forum to communicate. Most of these players also would not be regular posters on this forum and many would never have visited this forum either.

These people have logged in to crime city and found out that they are no longer in a syndicate so their natural reaction would be to assume they have been given the boot from their syndicate and with no means to contact their syndicate leader they would have to find a new syndicate to join.

My original post was just intended to say to the top 100 teams that we know you are frustrated with having members booted right now but imagine how the top 1000 and 4000 teams feel as most would have no idea what is going on. This obviously went over your head though.

[Stooboot]

I figured most teams were using messaging apps by now

[Gatorade]

You hit the Nail on the head there Rastas. I sometimes chat with a player in-game who I bumped into months ago when both more junior and we're mafiosos (sp) together. She is leader of a minor synd at about 1000 who bump along happily at that level just enjoying themselves.

She doesn't use this forum, they don't use a chat app (despite my advice that they should!). It is exactly as you say - she didn't know what happened and has lost about 8 or 9 with no way to find each other (altho in her synd, they were not in her mafia.......that's not uncommon).

They were screwed and presumably the missing souls will just have wondered what they had done to be cut.

OP raised a perfectly sensible point, that many people will have gotten chucked out of their syndicates with no idea why or how to get back. I don't understand why this should be controversial or create a troll fest.

Okay, I figured it out. You don't like the game, and are trying to convince others to stop playing as well.

The other possibility - that you reluctantly play the game despite not having fun out of some weird sense of duty toward humanity, and want others to make the same sacrifice - is too horrifyingly stupid to contemplate for long.

[Dipstik]

Getting off the forum gives you more pleasure than anything else in life? That's an unusual thing to say in your second post...

i liked the game the way it was. gree introduced syndicates because it turned out to be a money maker for them in modern war. in the beginning, it was fun, it was challenging. but now, its business.

Not long ago you were saying that the top 1000 syndicates had no one else to blame because they were poorly organized and weren't in it to win it. Now you are saying its all about the $$$

Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways.

[bald zeemer]

Probably because now she has to pay for the "challenge". Rather than sit back on 40-odd fights whilst others carried her to a first place finish. You know, that sort of challenge, which is fun. Not the challenge where your rewards are related to what you put in, which isn't.

syndicates are all about $$$ .. can you get the #1 without spending money? and, at the same time, its all about organization/managing .. there are 60 players in the team, if they don't collaboratively work out methods, they won't even make the top 1000. how are those two things different?

and for the one who is talking about challenge, i worked hard to make a squad stand (of course with the help of my team members) while it was stumbling down. and also, contributed to the best syndicate before it was even formed. honey, u don't have a clue what your are talking about. i am still contributing to the best syndicate even if i'm no longer playing the syndicate wars alongwith them. its called "dedication" if you are familiar with that word.

so, why were you kicked out of the best syndicate? scared to answer the question? either you are going to say it out or i will :)

[Rastas]

and for the one who is talking about challenge, i worked hard to make a squad stand (of course with the help of my team members) while it was stumbling down.

I can say the same, I started a syndicate from scratch and it didn't even make the top 500 in the first PVP. Then we made top 250, top 100, top 75 and top 50 before I decided that I have had enough of paying for people like you who sit back and are lucky to score 20k in wars.

all of that was for the other person, not for you.

you are putting up a sensible conversation, i'll go in a little detail this time.

syndicates are all about money and proper organization if you wish to take the top spots. the more you and your team members spend, the better you get. however, without proper communication with your syndicate members, you might just fall short of the next slab which you could easily hit. the ingame syndicate forum sucks! so you need to have a different communication platform so that you can decide your moves throughout the wars. if you don't have a good communication platform, you'll be shooting in the dark. kakaotalk, kik, groupme, etc .. make your pick.

[Rastas]

make your pick.

You mean take your pick.

Also if that was intended for another person then why did you quote me?

[El terible]

Hi, I have a question and since I can't open a new thread for an unknow reason I'm posting it here since I'm not in a top syndicate.

I've started to play long time ago and leveled up too fast so I made a break fighting and doing mission. The only thing I did for during months was to collect money to buy a Nightclub. Now that I have it I make 90k an hour but still, I think I'm one (the ?) of the weakest player because my attack is around 15k and my deference around 20k and my level is 86.
On think I'd like to add is that during a very very long time I did not upgrade the game version. I only now have access to LTQ mission and syndicate thing. And correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like players who updated their game got faster/easier access to very powerful items.
What I don't understand is that I see a lot of player making less than 30k an hour but having around 70k A/D. How is that possible ?
Currently I can't fight anyone in my level because average player are at least 2x stronger than me and even if I buy some items I don't think that I will ever match their firepower so is this game over ?

To give you an idea of my stats:
- A 750k chain gun is 7/18 and raise me by 5/14 so if I buy 430 of them for 322500k it will boost my stat by 2,1k/6k and takes me 150 days of perfect collection ( this is why I don't understand how people making 30k by hour can have 100k of attack and 100k of defense )
- A 360k katana is 10/12 and raise me by 8/10 so if I buy 430 of them for 154800k it will boost my stat by 3,4k/4,3k and takes me 70 days of perfect collection
- A 165k military body armor is 7/15 and raise me by 5/11 so if I buy 430 of them for 70950k it will boost my stat by 2,1k/4,7k and takes me 32 days of perfect collection

Total: 548240k worth of items will raise me attack by 7,6k and my defense by 15k. So after 252 days of perfect collection my stats will be 23k/35k which is still very weak for a level 86 player. So, game over ?

Note: I have 90K RP to spend, I was saving them to buy items I can't buy now but maybe I can use them now to save me ?

Note 2: would an admin be kind enough to give me the right to open my own topic please ? Thanks !

And thank you guys for the reading !

Given your stats (level 86 and 15k attack) you would I think be better off starting a new account.
- You'd get near your 15k attack with just one boss event, and maybe get to 40k attack at level 25. Basically start anew and take leveling slower this time. My secondary is two months old and tapjoy only and >80k. It's very easy these days to gain stats starting from scratch. Much harder if you're L86 already with 15k attack.
- join a decent syndicate, top 500 or whatever. The bonuses help a lot, plus you get items every event.
- Forget about respect and cash items to be honest. You gain stats from participating in events - syndicate, boss, box events etc - way more than from cash. And respect is too expensive to get much stat gain unless you have many modifiers. Income nowadays is useful only a) to pay syndicate dues and b) if you have high enough income you can buy limited buildings and get items for building/upgrading

I have to say I agree - El t has shown remarkable dedication to stay with the game for so long. It must be soul destroying to have no targets nor any chance to ever catch up.

El t - I would recommend you uninstall the app, delete your data file and start afresh. You will have the benefit of all the things you have learned and can rise in a more measured way which will see your stats grow. Also, adjust settings to accept the updates! You'll be in a wiser position than the newbies around you and will hopefully get more enjoyment.

how do you delete data after uninstall...i could not see how to

[MrM]

Deleting your game data doesn't help, I've done that sometimes to get a data push for an event to kick start, it just deletes the app data. There is however a 'funzio' folder in your root directory(on Android at least) with a file that contains the UUID of your Phone, I suspect deleting this will remove the record of your game on your device, I obviously never dared to play around with that, but if you want to start a new game that might work.

[zwiswoo]

I would just transfer the old game to another device (bluestacks if you don't have one) then start a new game. *Should* work right?

[Gatorade]

Sorry - when I put my suggested approach above, I was assuming it was as simple as (i) uninstall the app, (ii) locate and delete the UUID file within the Funzio folder, (iii) reinstall.

As others have acknowledged, we can't say definitively as no-one has ever dared mess with their UUID !!!!!!!!

understand the point honey .. i have nothing against you or anyone who got bumped out of their syndicate. when we think of creating a thread, should think over if it is going to help anyone at all. either, you create a thread for fun and troll hard in it. or create one to help someone "and" make sure to provide a solution. i really would've loved this thread if there was some information in your first post, for those who got bumped out. may be some "tips" that could help people find a way to join back their syndicates. for eg.,

1. make a search for your syndicate name here on the forum.
2. make a search for your syndicate name on the Google.
3. search within your mafia for people who were with you in the same syndicate.
4. run to your favorite chat application (kakao, kik, groupme, etc).
5. contact gree by logging a support ticket.

just a few examples ...

your whole point of creating this thread was to sympathize with those who got bumped out because of "gree's error" or did you create this thread in a hope that gree will feel guilty and will do the needful to fix the problem? do you think a gree employee is going to join this thread and say, "oh we are so sorry this happened"? its not like this game gets a bug or two once in a blue moon .. this game is full of problems, bugs, errors, etc. who else are you planning to spare a thought? talk about all those who paid but didn't get gold, paid but didn't get gold/cash bonus, played an event and won a spot but didn't get a prize for months, etc. all of those people don't deserve your sympathy?

anyway, i understand how this stuff works .. you say, "let's sympathize" then let's sympathize. i just hope it helps someone, it should ..

That's your opinion sweetie. OP - I think this thread was a good one and generated better response than most with valid points for discussion. You also drew awareness (intentional or not) to the majority of players who aren't on this forum participating and were impacted by a problem they didn't know existed and that likely won't ever get resolved for them.

I had to laugh when Assault and Flattery stickied a thread in an attempt to resolve issues 1 on 1. It demonstrated that the problem was still ongoing but more importantly it showed they are unaware that the majority of players are not participating in this forum. Credit for the noble attempt, rolling up the sleeves and fixing what you could.

The underlying theme of this thread is about communication and lack thereof. I would hope someone from Gree steps back and identifies two things:

1. Top teams are downloading chat apps...why? How can we make our product better to allow for improved communication amongst players?
2. Is there a way that we can broadcast critical information to all players in this game? Even if it's simply please visit the Crime City forum for important updates regarding the game.

and i get no credit for bringing life to this thread? not so cool :(

Thanks for the answers ! I followed your advice I started a new account on my iPhone, I joined a syndicate too and I use the 90k IPH of my old account to fill the syndicate bank. We ranked in the top 1500 because of some ghost players and thanks to that my new character is next to 2k A/D already. Thanks again !

syndicates are all about $$$ .. can you get the #1 without spending money? and, at the same time, its all about organization/managing .. there are 60 players in the team, if they don't collaboratively work out methods, they won't even make the top 1000. how are those two things different?

and for the one who is talking about challenge, i worked hard to make a squad stand (of course with the help of my team members) while it was stumbling down. and also, contributed to the best syndicate before it was even formed. honey, u don't have a clue what your are talking about. i am still contributing to the best syndicate even if i'm no longer playing the syndicate wars alongwith them. its called "dedication" if you are familiar with that word.

so, why were you kicked out of the best syndicate? scared to answer the question? either you are going to say it out or i will :)

Syndicates are about playing as a team, that's part of what it's about. Team psychology...

No question GREE makes more money, but for the non gold players, playing as a part of a team is WAY more fun that flying through this game solo.

I agree, this happened to my syndicate, if we weren't using another app to talk, they would have been forced to look for another syndicate to join.
