01-31-2014, 11:49 AM
Beginning at noon PST, take down your enemies one by one during Super Bowl Weekend and earn The Long Bomb. That's right! We are bringing back this classic PvP event so you can get your fight on while watching your favorite team.

Each goal comes with a prize, the more opponents you defeat, the nicer the gear.

Prizes are not that good. Better do Raid Boss event.

Have you guys entertained any of the suggestions to start uzis dropping during the PVP event? If I am not mistaken they used to for the first Raid Boss, and it seems like it would raise your revenue by helping more teams to finish elite mode...

A gold sale would be nice!

Jeremy Kyle
01-31-2014, 12:07 PM
A.) At least you get bricks for your effort

B.) The breakdown is different than other pvp events...there is only 50 wins in-between most of the prizes and the last tier only requires 100 extra wins. This doesn't seem that unreasonable to me and not that expensive to finish if you need to use gold at all.

You know that you start back at 0 when you finish a goal, add them all together and thats total wins

No syn goals or leaderboard. No bricks dropping. PvP = lots o bricks....missing those

Supposed to be a tournament right?

01-31-2014, 12:31 PM
I did the first step to this event before looking and this and got really excited about how high stats the first unit was, this has let me down now though, hardly any stat difference from step 1 & 2, or even 5 for that matter.

Was also looking forward to the leader board tournament, of course not now. Thanks for the info, but this is a certain sit out for me now , gotta stay in tier 2 for the next boss event ;)

01-31-2014, 12:37 PM
Seems like Gree misinterprets our requests. When we say, bring back PVP please!.. for however many months now.. we don't mean bring back a lessened, boring version of a once great event. Was so looking forward to this after not being able to do much of ERB at all due to lack of uzis. This was the saving grace for a dormant once fun quest(ERB) and now you have us double downed. Keep it up! The results aren't hard to predict even for a business model such as yours.

Yancool
01-31-2014, 12:37 PM
Ehhh..... All people on my rivals list are too beat to fight.... Not sure it's even possible to finish the event, even when using gold. Managed to get 47 hits in for the first 30min, and then everybody was beat up. Maybe if the event is stretched for the next 14 days it's possible to complete.

One question, has someone been testing this at all?

Second question, why is this called PVP and not PVP lite event? Half is missing!

b-w
01-31-2014, 12:37 PM
Oh snap! I just noticed the wins are counting for hardcore hitman and winning streak..you know, the things i am sure to never do..If i do this then i'm going to level up like crazy! NOOO. If i wanted to level up then this would be awesome..but i don't so it's like the exact opposite.

Its not even a pvp...its just like any other fighting goal on your goals list. Might as well call it "Thug Life" goals extra. Without a leaderboard and syndicates competing this is NOT a PVP Tournament. I was also ready to use gold for this event, but not now. It isn't worth it.

A n F, thank you very much for posting everything! Please keep doing so.

On another note, did the team at Gree really think this would be well received? Can we please win 3500 fights for the low price of 50,000 XP w no mods and zero syndicate rewards? Very disappointing...

tgreen
01-31-2014, 12:45 PM
1) everybody on rival list being 10 million higher than me so I can't attack? Check.

2) rare person I find with lower defense that I can attack is to beat up to fight? check

3). got hit 78 times in under 2 min according to news feed? check.

4) game play ruined further? check.

Thank you Gree.

Ken1378
01-31-2014, 12:45 PM
At the risk of being completely unoriginal, I'm going to pile on and mention that this event totally blows. The count resets after each goal and the prizes are absolutely horrible. This is not worth the experience gain. Somebody should tell the idiot programmers that a 2k/2k item is useless nowadays. Especially when I’m averaging 15 experience per fight.

But at least the scratchers and defense buildings are getting revamped! (only a year late on this) How long will we have to wait for new syndicate bonuses and for the att and def skill points to matter again? 2017?

The events are optional. You don't *have* to participate in every event if that is not your bag (heck, you don't have to participate in ANY to just play the game), and a lot of people are selective about what they participate in.
Already said (but worth repeating). :p

01-31-2014, 01:14 PM
To summarize:

1. This is a NOOB event. Gree probably has a lot of new meat since last PVP offered and are easing them in to see how many spend gold. We haven't seen this type of event in a couple of years.

2. Recycled top prizes. Peeps like Monte and I won those over 1.5 years ago in individual PVP tourneys including the weapons on top 2 and 3 prizes. Think peeps who have been in game less than 1.5 years ago need to know that. Not because we are good, spent gold, etc No just to let you know looks like dusted off old events.

3. Gold Sale: Here's a helpful hint to Noobs: Gree only offers sales during war weekends and special times in year like Black Friday. So you need to plan your gold spending accordingly. Paying list price for gold is silly.

4. Play your style: Use gold if you want or play free. At least you'll get some bricks for Syn. It's a disappointment but maybe they will ease us into the Syn PVP, Syn/Indiv PVP/Rob events. Hopefully they are not recycling the whole 2 year cycle of PVP development.

1.. well, it wouldn't be a fair representation, a good PVP a lot of people will spend gold, definitely not the case here.

2... don't care much about recycling.

3... gold sale would be helpful with raid boss. but it's not that big of a deal.

4... I remember you can get banned for saying "boycotting an event". I guess it's only okay if the gree mods say it. ;)

Isn't MW and KA made by Gree. Well Gree has ran numerous gold sales in these game on off war weekends kinds like TODAY in MW. We don't have a war hit we have raid boss(like CC) and a LTQ that just dropped and this is the 2nd raid boss event in MW and both times gold dale was ran. Just saying. But yes as far as all the other stuff you are absolutely right. Don't think at all I am sticking up for Gree cause I think it's ridiculous that ya can't treat CC the same way as the other games.

At least there is about a twenty second pause between hitting the rival's profile button and seeing their stats and then another ten second or so pause before you realize that this rival is too beat up to fight.

montecore
01-31-2014, 02:10 PM
I remember the first few PVP events, one I couldn't finish, because the RL was broken. It was full of people you couldn't attack, only rob, levels far lower than 250. You had to refresh constantly just to find that one random target you could possibly be allowed to attack.

So in that sense, this is a bit of a throwback to traditional CC PVP.

The first time you have been almost wrong. LOL.

YOU FORGOT TO ALSO ADD:

The bosses will become 70% stronger each cycle.
It will require more folders to summons them.
Each level will require more bosses to complete.
The rivals list will be tweaked for maximum dislike.
The cost of Uzis will increase as will war reloads.
War will require more for rewards and they will be harder to obtain.
Glitches will be hourly events.
Spot the newest glitch will become fun.
Refunds will be reduced.
Compensation will be removed from the dictionary.
Staff will be required to do twice as much in half the time as more and more events get thrown out on top of each other.
And the shrills will be around in ever increasing numbers to quash any comment considered a 'complaint' against Gree.
Everyone except the shrills will be called trolls.

Isn't MW and KA made by Gree. Well Gree has ran numerous gold sales in these game on off war weekends kinds like TODAY in MW. We don't have a war hit we have raid boss(like CC) and a LTQ that just dropped and this is the 2nd raid boss event in MW and both times gold dale was ran. Just saying. But yes as far as all the other stuff you are absolutely right. Don't think at all I am sticking up for Gree cause I think it's ridiculous that ya can't treat CC the same way as the other games.

KD: Referring to CC only, don't care about MW and KA other than comparisons of service levels to CC. In CC what I posted about gold sales is True...don't let newbies for CC get their hopes up for gold sale.

To complete this task with the lag it is impossible to do it in less than 21 hours of continuous play with gold.
Finding targets and them not being to beat up will add to this time in a huge way.

My thoughts are that its not mathematically possible to complete due to the game being so slow.

Okay guys, we're listening on this one, so I want to make sure that we're hearing the right things. If people can keep this tuned to constructive suggestions, that will help (there's a lot of "this stinks, bring back the old way" with no other details, in the last ten pages. That doesn't help.).

Firstly, design goals. We hear a lot of concerns about the number of events going on, and the involvement required for those events. The design goal for this one was specifically to have a lighter, more fun and relaxed event that had a low barrier to participation, and we figured this fit the general theme of the "big game weekend" going in in the States this weekend. Something clean, glitch-free that you could do while sitting around munching on snacks and watching the game (if that is your thing, if not, still a lighter event). That's the main reason for the lack of syndicate/individual leaderboard aspect, although I hear you guys when you say that is what you want out of an event like this.

There are also technical limitations to the leaderboard aspect. The old pvp events of yore were usually done in a very "hacky" way in the background that involved no visible leaderboard and a logging/ script combo used to determine winners after the fact. That method was fraught with potential technical weirdness, especially with the involvement of syndicates/factions (that was one of the reasons we hadn't had one of these in awhile) and again we wanted something fun and glitch-free this time.

A lot of the other frustration in here seems to be due to the recent rivals list change, if I am reading things correctly, which really deserves its own thread (as it impacts peoples' enjoyment of the event but is not the event itself).

Are there any other points that I am missing in regard to the event structure and what people would like to see? Again, please keep it constructive.

My biggest issue(s) would indeed be tied to the rival list first and foremost. Everybody is either "too beat up to fight" or 10-15-20 million above my attack level. So there is nobody for me to hit.

Secondly, I have over 100-150 news feed items. I am getting hit every other second.

1. Seems for most the RL is refreshing the 90% same rivals even after 5 refreshes

2. Rivals List for many, especially above lvl 175, you have set what we see Defenses at our level or 25%+ higher for 90% of list (look not precise estimate but many in chats off line are commenting)

3. What rivals you can beat are "dead" because they have been attacked the max. What is the refresh time for "dead" rivals. Is it an hour like normal times or 1/2 hour?

4. You combine these facts you have most people trying either to find a suitable rival looking at 20 or more hoods or a rival that can be PVP with the same amount of refreshing.

The "dead" rivals has always been a situation as part of any PVP event. But this time because you don't have the breadth of rival strength it is a big problem. The depth of rival list is fine, more than past PVP, but your restrictions set on RL matchups will continue to make PVP events a frustrating issue for many.

Hope that is constructing, not whining, and explains what we are seeing across Top 100s etc

Whether your team likes it or not CJ the new changes to RL negatively affects PVP events not making it more exciting. That was pretty obvious to me when launched.

Even those all for the changes to be able to rob hoods, based on comments from those few, seem to indicate they are having trouble or don't like implications for PVP. Fact not whining.

Here is another gift to Gree regarding the rivals list algorithm: During PVP events, and preferably all the time, only display rivals that aren't in a cool down. Very simple. Whatever you're using now, if it returns 20 names and 18 can't be hit, run it again until you have 20 that can actually be attacked or robbed.

As it stands now, we hit refresh, attack each person, and find that they can't be attacked. Each refresh tends to yield the same 15 people with 5 new ones who typically can't be hit either.

During regular game play it's an issue, because we all see the same 40 people. Which means they've already all been robbed by my teammates. Which means we can't rob anyone.

Cliff's notes: Serve up a RL where everyone can be attacked/robbed and 90% of the issues go away.

We raised the "beaten up" threshhold, which also caused its own series of complaints. The newsfeed spam similarly came up in past events, but some of the potential cures are worse than the disease.

CJ - thanks for your time replying, but if you read back carefully you will get the gist of all the current problems and concerns.
The MOST important one that needs addressing is the current Rival List problem. Currently we have the same 20-25 people on our rival lists (been like this for around a week now) and they are all beat up. So we now have a "lite" event that no one can participate in or attack people to even get close to the ridiculous 3500 wins for a less than appetising prize.

Please fix the RL issues ASAP and consider adding a defence Mod to the grand prize.

I don't think you understand. Every single time I reload my rivals list, I get the following players:

tam
C-Money
Geo
Madam Liv
luke
Skye
zangief
uffuff (level 202 hacker, but that's another story)
Rooster

These ones are there about every other time I refresh:

VIK
-INF@MOU5-
FAST EDDIE
peggiesue
TonyTBoss

And then there are a handful of others, probably less than 100 in total if I refresh the list 40 times.

The issue is that the first and second list of players are all "too beat up already". What I am proposing is that when I hit refresh, those players are all yanked from the pool and I get 20 new names until they are hittable again. I don't care about the defenses or the levels.

As it stands now I will continue to refresh, and I will continue to find tam, Rooster, zangief, and Geo at the top of my list. And they are all too beaten up except for tam. Who I am now hitting and losing to on occasion. And then she will be too beaten up again.

It's not the lack of Syndicate goals and leader boards, we get that those are hard to do right quickly. It's crappy prizes! The amount of effort to get anything worthwhile when we are having a boss event where better items are given away basically for free by the dozens. Then to top it off the new rival list is so bad that it makes finding a suitable target extremely hard compared to before and makes the retaliation even more risky than before.

This event just isn't worth the effort in the slightest.

People can still attack while they are too beaten up to be attacked (so can you, but you won't see it since there is no indication of when you are too beaten up). That has always been true.

I'm trying to see the logic in how someone who is too beaten up to fight with you can then miraculously fight you lol but I'll stop overthinking that one. Could you guys please revert back to the old rival list? No one I know has had anything positive to say about it and no one has ever had any issues with the way the previous rival list was, so why tamper with it? My iph is 7m yet I'm still seeing empty hoods in my rival list so this myth that the new rival list is supposed to help us find like minded people is a load of nonsense.

As for the other events like LTQ and Raid Boss, Rjc summed it all up, I couldn't put it better myself, and I quote:

"Like most syndicates my syndicate needs Uzis. So I started thinking why play? There's an event that you want to play, but can't because you can't get any Uzis. You want to play during the LTQ. But you can't. The LTQ requires 1mil energy, but you only get 4k per day.
Now imagine you were playing call of duty and you are only given 2 bullets per day. Would you play a game like that?
This is what crime city has become. A game you want to play. But can't really play. So I ask. Why play."

First thing you need to do is change the rivals list back to what it was.

There was nothing wrong with it. Just a few moaners on here about getting robbed.

So you basically changed one of the few things that was right about the game and completely ignored everything else we asked for.

There needs to be a huge advantage for stats at your level otherwise there is no point spending any money on this game.

5 levels up and down from your level is my suggestion for variety.

PLEASE FIX ASAP!

During PVP events, and preferably all the time, only display rivals that aren't in a cool down.

I would not like this at all. An unintended consequence of this would be that you would miss out on that guy who's been beat up, but his level 8 WSFG is robbable. So perhaps during PVP events, but certainly not all the time.

This would put a severe dent in robbing.

And FWIW, I love the new rivals list. Love it.

wawoftam
01-31-2014, 07:29 PM
CJ I'd like to make a couple of (hopefully) constructive suggestions but 1st a couple of general ones.

I hear a lot of whining about rivals list and the lack of targets. Admittedly it maybe to a lesser extent unless people are exaggerating, but when I used to do PVP events this was always a frustration but with a bit of time and effort worked around.
I hear a lot of complaining about the rewards. I am glad that there is an event many top players won't participate in. It may give some other players a chance to gain some strength on them. For far too long the gap has been widening. The bigger the gap the more moaning about winning streaks, players leaving syndicates to just better themselves. Everyone wants a free ride but isn't willing to work for it. There are many loyal teams out their than work their backsides off to finish top 150-500. Maybe, just maybe some of them may like this event.
As for complaints about the XP gains, you can't eat your cake and still have it. If you want to stay at a lower level then just don't participate like many don't or never did. I'm glad it's not a syndicate event as there is now a bigger choice on whether to participate or not. What may not suit some of you will suit others. This doesn't mean Gree has gotten it wrong.

Now on to my suggestions CJ,

A rivals list that groups players in a range of 5 levels. By that I mean 1-5, 6-10, 46-50, 131-135 etc. This would increase the spread of players available on a players rival list from the old days (only 2 level variance) but reduce the variance of levels that we have now where players strong for their level can have all sorts attacking them.

Bring back Uzis as drop items for events like this. I think they are seen as a bigger reward for some and may appease a few. Bringing them back just for an event may risk some glitches (I'm no IT expert) so having them back for attacks full-time might be the go. This will also give more teams a chance at completing the boss event. At present there are a lot of teams than cannot even raise enough uzis. Plenty of these teams would still struggling to complete the boss 100's due to lack of strength. Some would use gold to make the hits required on the top bosses but expecting them to have to buy vaults to obtain uzis on top of this is a bit much. I can't see how Gree would lose money on this as what they lose on the top teams having to buy uzis they would gain with lower strength teams buying gold to finish the lvl 100 bosses. Surely this would keep varying players all a bit happier.

Finally, and maybe a jealous gripe, but could syndicate swapping be blocked 24 hours prior to these raid boss events? I don't like seeing these small numbered syndicates both able to manipulate the system to gain battles streak to only then return to a larger group to gain boss rewards. You either benefit from one tactic or the other. The idea I though behind syndicates was to build teamwork and loyalty. This in turn increases game play participation and the hope of more of Gree's customers/users putting their hand in their pocket.

I hope this hasn't come across as negative. There are always different game play styles and without all of us the game wouldn't be here. We need to remember that not every event will suit us and that life will go on without it. There must be at least some players enjoying this one given the lack of targets :D.

In my opinion the lack of targets is not due to player participation. I haven't been attacked once all day. I also haven't been able to find a single rival in my rival list that hasn't been too beat up to fight since the event began. I hardly doubt that every rival on my list and I did try to blind attack right down the list and not one rival in 5-10 refreshes has not been too beat up to fight within the first few minutes of the event. Not to mention the fact that I also haven't found a building in a rivals hood that was ready that didn't say "can't rob" when I hit it. I have a feeling this is another malfunctioning event by gree!

CJ I'd like to make a couple of (hopefully) constructive suggestions but 1st a couple of general ones.

I hear a lot of whining about rivals list and the lack of targets. Admittedly it maybe to a lesser extent unless people are exaggerating, but when I used to do PVP events this was always a frustration but with a bit of time and effort worked around.
I hear a lot of complaining about the rewards. I am glad that there is an event many top players won't participate in. It may give some other players a chance to gain some strength on them. For far too long the gap has been widening. The bigger the gap the more moaning about winning streaks, players leaving syndicates to just better themselves. Everyone wants a free ride but isn't willing to work for it. There are many loyal teams out their than work their backsides off to finish top 150-500. Maybe, just maybe some of them may like this event.
As for complaints about the XP gains, you can't eat your cake and still have it. If you want to stay at a lower level then just don't participate like many don't or never did. I'm glad it's not a syndicate event as there is now a bigger choice on whether to participate or not. What may not suit some of you will suit others. This doesn't mean Gree has gotten it wrong.

Now on to my suggestions CJ,

A rivals list that groups players in a range of 5 levels. By that I mean 1-5, 6-10, 46-50, 131-135 etc. This would increase the spread of players available on a players rival list from the old days (only 2 level variance) but reduce the variance of levels that we have now where players strong for their level can have all sorts attacking them.

Cj54 the prizes for the involvement needed is terrible. And as you mentioned, the lack of a syndicate goal and a leaderboard makes me want to sit this one out.

Couldn't have said it better, the amount of xp you will gain from (well over 3000 fights) will certainly make me level up way more than what i want for a 114k/96k (about how much you gett from all prizes added up) with no mods, prizes are not worth the xp you gain, it could have been worth it if robs would count cause i can choose to rob only LTB which can give a nice amount of cash and and average of 2-3 5 xp a hit and with attacks i average well over 10xp a hit

Another way would be to make uzis drop from attacks/robs during the pvp events, i'm sure a lot of people would use gold to replenish their stamina and farm uzis

That was one way to save this kind of event, i didn't play the game on the old days so i can't really give my opinion about how it used to be...

Hope this was of some help

Okay guys, we're listening on this one, so I want to make sure that we're hearing the right things. If people can keep this tuned to constructive suggestions, that will help (there's a lot of "this stinks, bring back the old way" with no other details, in the last ten pages. That doesn't help.)Again, please keep itt constructive.
You kidding... you have/had constructive suggestions for the last 6 months and you never listened to one of it.... well, you listened it but you made the exact opposite.. people are sick to give you constructive feedbacks and this is what you get... you really whan suggestions? Ok:
1) uzis dropping rate is worse and worse every war cycle. In my syn we miss the last two goals because we miss uzis and it'siimpossible to find them everywhere: and do not say that 5 uzis every 4/5k energy is a good rate... well, we could buy them: 27 100 bosses left, that makes 2700 uzis... 1 uzis is 5 gold.. 13500 gold... 10 vaults to get enough uzis... plus the gold you need to kill a lvl100, because you're so smart that decide to increase the boss health by a good 25%... you kidding?????
2) pvp.. was probably one of the most funny part of the game but you killed even this part... impossible goals, no syn or ind goals, **** prizes.. RL obv doesn't help with the 60% of people already beaten and the other 40% way to strong to get a single win... you said this format was made to have a lower event for the super bowl i assume... bulli****... you never cared about think like that: you had big events running for Christmas;, nye etc etc... we'll have an event during valentines day... this last three are worldwide events... super bowl is American, why would you care about it?
3) ltq.. two ltqs ago I was able to finish beginner and normal for free, and with a level up, or two, do a couple elite levels... on the last one I couldn't finish normal, w.out beginner, for free... I was able to get 13/15... do you really think I use gold to finish it? Absolutely not... instead of using more gold to finish elite I haven't used a single gold to continue with normal... ones you'll realize that ltq should be: beginner for llp, normal and first level for everyone, finish elite for gold spender... but if you'll continue in this way in a couples ltq we'll not able to complete beginner for free...
There is probably, for sure more problems....

2. ind and syn leaderboard with tier prizes(this will bring in the gold)

3. decent prizes

4. rivals that are too beaten up already should not show on the list


you say you tweaked it down so theres not too many events but thats not what we asked for, we asked for just 1 event usining energy or stamina ect, i dont care if theres raid boss ltq and pvp because they use different resources.

A lot of the other frustration in here seems to be due to the recent rivals list change, if I am reading things correctly, which really deserves its own thread (as it impacts peoples' enjoyment of the event but is not the event itself).

Are there any other points that I am missing in regard to the event structure and what people would like to see? Again, please keep it constructive.

I'm not sure I agree this is light when you want me to find, and fight thousands..... but I digress

Plain and simple, it takes too long to find people to fight. The recent rivals change, as lots of posts have managed (in other threads as well) takes out the strategy of becoming an IPH powerhouse, or an attack powerhouse, or .... (insert the multiple strategies played). I used to never have many allies because that would just invite me to get clobbered. So, then I survived and was able to grow. But now that has backfired as 90% of players I'm matched with are bigger. There are all sorts of issues with the rivals change which I won't deal with here.

I will try to get through level 3 or 4 in the PvP but it takes too much time to find opponents due to rival change. I'm not a gold spender, but I would not even consider spending free gold on this event since I can't find rivals.....

That said, the players have been calling for PvP and you are trying to meet that so I think you should be complimented for that.

Montecore, I checked in about that (the "same small list of rivals no matter what). That is actually something the engineers are looking into.



When they go out later, it isn't an intentional exception, it's because something needed some last minute tweaking.

Yes it is.. Then why does LTQ's, Epic Boss and Raid Boss always start at midnight in Europe? The only event you launch when europe, asia and australia is not asleep is the main syn battle!! Please just launch all the events at the same time as battle weekend start.

You say you want feedback? Here's 27 pages of feedback written by the heart of cc players you should read CJ (In almost every page there is a complaint about the new rival list):
http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?81015-Feedback-thread

Now it just feels like you made that thread to avoid everything we want. This PVP is a flop!! Bring back the leaderboard, fix the rival list, bump up the tier prizes for syn ranking and we will be pleased.

Btw: 2/3's of the players in cc doesn't give a fux about the "game" goin on in US...

Those are some valid concerns for an event like this and in general. The "too beat up to fight" one is actually something that we hear every time we have had a pvp event (including the old ones), just because everyone is attacking everyone else. We raised the "beaten up" threshhold, which also caused its own series of complaints. The newsfeed spam similarly came up in past events, but some of the potential cures are worse than the disease.

simple fix. open the rival list to all players o fall levels. this would allow anyone to see everyone. ie, lvl 5 could see a lvl 250, and someone with 5k stats could see the stronget play in game. remove players from rival list that have been inactive in login for 1 month or more.

reticlover
02-01-2014, 07:56 AM
Hey guy, we are giving constructive criticism but you guys aren't listening. The rival list is redundant and is improperly produced. There's no one to hit. I understand you are quality control but can you take montecore's advice and expand the number of time's a rival can get hit. Thx


by doing this would just cause other problems. raising the limit of times you could be hit would make people mad cause they would loose more cash if they dont bank. gotta look at the ups and downs

Although I enjoyed the heck out of the old style pvp where attacks anf robs counted for points and there was leaderboads to compete against others ect. this one would be ok if I could find someone to attack. My rivals list is still very small and practically everyone on it is either dead or too strong...the rivals profile takes so long to pull up I have just started attacking in the hope of finding someone to attack(although I pay for it in retaliation). PVP used to be my favorite event since we could have fun competeting inter-syn and do well for a relatively small amount of gold. Please bring back the old school PVP.

More than likely it will be back to normal next time change said they lightened it because of the Super Bowl, which I don't really understand they pushed more for the Holidays but lighten it for a football game not everyone watches the sport

They said they did it because we were complaining about stacking events, they didnt realise we were talking about stacking 4 ltqs at the same time meaning all needed energy, i would happily do epic boss raid boss ltq and pvp at the same time because it doesn't involve using the same resource.

Ltqs suck now too, energy requirement is way too high

CJ --- You are missing the two most important points:

1. This event might be OK if the Rivals List wasn't completely messed up. But when I see the same people no matter how many times I refresh, then there is no way for me to find people to attack. The weekend is just one long frustration. Don't have an event like this if it depends on a RIVALS LIST that is non-functioning.

2. This event might be OK if the prize was better...much better. Why should players spend their weekend trying to qualify when the prize's points are so low relative to other prizes being awarded these days? It should have a mod and be closer to six figures for players to care about it. Spend gold? No way...not for 50,000 points and no mod.

Beginning at noon PST, take down your enemies one by one during Super Bowl Weekend and earn The Long Bomb. That's right! We are bringing back this classic PvP event so you can get your fight on while watching your favorite team.

Each goal comes with a prize, the more opponents you defeat, the nicer the gear.

Have a great time crushing your opponents!

These prizes suck and are not worth the extra xp or worth spending gold on. Sorry GREE (dy) your greed is ruining this game.

Couple of things for members posting that look like they are fairly new to game:

1. PVP was the second most popular event for players, I think Raid/Epic Boss is now.

a. Wars: Most popular and makes Gree money.

b. Raid/Epic Boss: Second most popular and gree is obviously trying to get spending up.

c. PVP: Gree has admitted they have had problems with ability offer PVP since it first started over two years ago. However this is the worst in ability to even play the event. In part, I believe, to new RL code changes in hope of raising gold spend in PVP syn events.

As for prizes: They have always sucked so get over that. They know its a popular event and probably we'd play for no prizes. That's not going to change. If it does, be assured you will be spending gold, to get better prizes.

They don't make much money on PVP contests either. Why they don't care as much. Actions by Gree speak louder than words if they try to refute what I'm saying

So LTQs seem to be their preferred event because it makes money. Remember that a few players drive most of earning. So until the whales get tired of LTQs and move to the better events in spending well we are stuck.

they cant stop stat inflation, the big players would stop spending money, they have no choice but to at least moderate it, and judging by the huge mods given on this raid boss they dont plan to do that.

Last prize is ok, but can't find people to fight. How is 99% of CC players already beaten up at all hours of the day? This event could have been a lot more fun, instead two events currently running that are boring and unachievable by most players at no fault of our own. It's not about players choosing to complete it or not, Gree didn't even give us a proper chance. O yea, the third event, LTB, is also lame.

Congratulations, good for you. But you would be lying if you are saying you will finish without using any gold. So if you're doing the pvp for free you haven't gained any stats to be proud of lol.

When it started, I was like 'Awesome!' because I'm so much stronger than anyone I try to rob.

Now I see the same 20 names with stats better than mine.

Good luck checking stats when you see a new name, because it takes so long the app times out, and by that time if they were weaker than you, they're too beat up anyway.

Turns out you don't win anything special either.

Maybe if there were a button to not participate, I could just rob the weaklings I always got before this event?

Seriously, what happened? Why did my rivals list suddenly turn into 20 guys around my level that are stronger than me?

Word, the PvP in this game is awesome!

i'm going to take it as far as I can for free, not interested in spending gold on this game really now, very very rare that I do. all stat gains are an improvement and blindness to this means you are falling behind others.

Yes. Are you really real bengie? I want to believe!
Does it just time out when you check rival stats on an android?


I also want to give kudos to that CJ154 developer dude for saying he's listening. Up to page 13 he's been holding it down like a trooper. Props for that and therefore I hope his (or her) favorite team wins the superbowl.

I'm only on page 13 though and still reading, so that view could totally change before kickoff.

Just saying, this PvP event sucks pretty bad bros.

I'm a level 250, been there a while. I know most people that I have on my rivals list. I know who to hit and who to stay far away from even thinking about hitting. The PVP starts and I get a list of 25 people that I have never heard of before. I try to fight any of them Let's see 20 of them are too beat up and the other 5 are 20 million stronger than me. Ok, let's refresh and try this again. Wait it's the same people. Refresh again, ohhh lookie new people..... no wait new order same people.

This PVP is the worst idea Gree has come up with.

Why didn't you leave it to robberies and fights. That way we have a better chance of actually finding something to hit?

I am getting more and more frustrated by Gree not listening to the CUSTOMER!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, it feels like they're listening and doing the exact opposite.
Most people hated the new rivals list even when it was still tested. So instead of scraping it, they forced it on everyone.
People have been asking for months for an expensive ltb, so they give us the crappiest possible.
I was really excited about this pvp, but they've managed to screw this up too.

The new rivals list would have been perfect for the typical PVP tournament with syndicate rankings. Would allow you to easily get max points and not have to scavenger for decent points as punishment for being in the top percentile of your level. But as that would have to been a very fun event it did not happen. But with this new change and almost everyone being around the same stats level it is very annoying to lose every other fight against someone that it 20%+ weaker than you. And what idiot in their right mind is going to use gold to lose fights. Next time you do a PVP Gree make it the normal syn tournament.

Possibly, people should stop whining about the stat increases and start whining about things that matter, like the lack of uzis, thee stupid increase of xp required to take down a boss, the cost of uzis, 1 Uzi for 5 gold, when on modern war you get 10 Uzi's for 10 gold, GREE is supposed to bed a business they should lower gold costs and match the cc cost of uzis to the same as modern wasr, they would make a lot more money as a lot more people would spend money, if there Uzi's were 10 for 10 gold my syn would have bought a couple of thousand, as it is we refuse point blank to spend 5 gold on 1 single Uzi.

Wow I went a bit of track to what you said there lol

Ging: they want more gold spend on PVP. CJ hinted at this. More suprises like in Wars which translated to more gold spent to get same points.

In this case it's a loss vs more/less points. Will peeps spend more gold than they used to in a PVP/Syn PVP to get same result? This will be interesting.

Well said. Players use gold so that they can enjoy the game more. Winning is enjoyable and losing is not. Nobody will want to use gold to lost fights half the time.

Agree with this, ltq's are painful now and some acknowledgment of when/if/why kindle are supported would be nice to. Raid boss just feels like a rip of to.
