Just ran into a problem. I guess a level 100 with 2mil attack is weak. Been playing for 3 ta 4 months. What can I do different to gain more attack without leveling up. ? Someone told me 15 mil is the norm for a level 100..

Get into a good syndicate

Im there with you bradharvy. I'm a bit higher attack, but no where near 15 mil. I'm not sure that is "normal" -- maybe it is for campers -- but certainly 2 mil is low (I'm about 4 mil).

The only advice I can offer is join competitive sydicate -- one that finishes SLTQ's and raid bosses (therefore winning GOOD prizes). Also, a syndicate with huge bonuses will also inflate your numbers. On top of that, stop doing the individual goals. They give you too much XP, therefore causing you to level up too quickly. It's impossible to not level up at all. And in my case, it's hard to have fun without leveling up either. I see and hear of some people camping at the same level for months...never doing any tasks and just growing their income. If they are in a syn, their bonuses will rise from that benefit. This will make them very strong for down the road, but to me, it just sounds like no fun at all. That's just my opinion though. I'm sure there are many others that feel differently. i'd also like to see what other responses you get as they probably apply to me too.

We finished around 850 or so. Not bad. But I'm with you, what fun is it to just do nothing? But I could see not doing regular goals, just the Sltqs, personal and syndicate, . You in a decent syndicate? Need active player lol. I like mine allot really, just got mad cause one guy lost 165 fights on purpose and won 3. He had to spend gold to do it lol. Idk why. He's a buddy I guess of the leader, I told Em he goes or I take my 3 and go. I'm ranked about 3rd 4th and 5th in our Syndicate. I dumped gold to win the last battle just for the guy to lose it for us, confused.
So, im looking.

Watch for things that give xp, no attacking, rob only ltb's no night clubs!, do not do the regular goals in the goal lists

Check the recruitment forum. I think if you are that active, you shouldn't have much trouble. The one I was just in finished around 950, and it was very good. We finished some of the sltq's (easy and normal, and over half of elite). Finished normal raid boss (not elite). The new Syn I just got accepted to I think only had 1 slot open.

From what I read on a lot of the recruitment threads, there are a lot of top 750 and top 500 syns looking for people who are active. I wish I could be more help, but I'm pretty much as new as you are. I started in November / December.

no attacking, rob only ltb's no night clubs!

Can you elaborate on this?

Xp gained causes you to level up, night clubs level 1 give 17xp, and goes up for each level. So you need to learn what each building pays out, not just in cash. You don't want to level up faster than your stats go up.

An ltb pays out 1 to 5 xp each hit, gold purchased buildings pay better than a night club, warehouse or meat market do

Attacking gives a variable amount of xp, so unless its a syndicate event, PvP, don't attack, if you need to do that, make sure that the one you attack has less than 500 mafia, the 'thug life rounds' in individual goals when you reach the level that it has it, it pays out xp as well as rp. Any individual goal has them try to avoid xp as much as possible

Wow thanks. I did not realize that about the XP points varying with buildings, and going up with higher level buildings. That's tricky (and good to know!).

Your explanation on attacking makes perfect sense, and I think I knew some of that. However, how else to get bricks? Is there any other way to get bricks without attacking? That's pretty much the only reason I ever attack

Keep playing, have fun, and good luck to you.......I hate to burst your bubble but you are too far behind, you will never catch up, even if work hard and get to 15 mill, by the time you do those at 15 mill will be at 30 mill

P.S. so as not to be all negative: you are too high Lvl for your stats, you need to slow down. I would stop attacking and robbing completely, maybe some low xp bldgs once in a while for money, ltbs are usually good. Work on iph to decrease dependence on robbing to bring in cash.

I would think about trying to start again with a new account. L100 and 2M is beyond awful, you'll be a huge target in wars and things like Epic Boss will be unplayable as you'll be in a highish tier of boss health and very little attack. Nothing wrong with carrying on and enjoying the game (as after all, that's what it is) but you'll have to accept you'll always be behind the curve.

Im an active player that just came from a disbanded syndicate to a syn that old family members put together. Im lvl 124 10.46/9.44
1 thing for sure is I won't camp. not so funn just sitting. I have main and mini and Im always working Syn goals.
I only do Norm goals to get me close to leveling but thats done in a timely fashion so as to gain something from the leveling. Indiv stats-
Atk-29
Def-18
Energy-2640
Stamina-44
My old mini that Im trying to recover for the last 2 weeks is level 63 with 3.66/3.19
Focus on raid Bosses for sure because every successful quota met earns you a prize.
also like the last event that had the Character Crazy Jeff? little energy, little Xp but yields a decent item for your inventory and inevitably towards your stats.
Also check out Artist Quarter location. locate Blues Club. 72e/16xp loot Crude Explosive 10/14
I know several other locations with slightly better items but not to privvy to put in general forum.
Can't help the competition tooo much. :)

Phillip is right.. Don't attack anyone and only rob LTB's.. They give 2 or 3 xp but good $$$... Don't do jobs EVER... Join a competitive syn, top250 or higher to start with... Don't do LTQ's

Oh yeah.. Never rob NC's and casinos unless they're lvl 10 ..

Even if you only join a syndicate in everything but battle, it might help.

Honestly though, I would transfer that account to an old device and start a new account, use that old account for farming bricks and uzis not caring about stats, many big players do this

If you do that, and get a new one started, pm me

bradharvy

I might do that. I didn't think you could start over. I don't have any thing to transfer it to. ? Let me know if I have options I'm unaware of

I was in the same position as you a few months back. Posted a thread much like this. You are very low compared to your level (now, after stat inflation)but you shouldn't trash your account. If you have some LTBs and Modifiers, its worth keeping! joining a decent syndicate will help you in no time! I saw someone said stop robbing buildings and attacking, do this. Try your best to not gain XP anymore. You might have to be active but stay minimal and your stats will increase. Someone take this active, gold spender in! I'm sure you won't regret it.

I'm in a Syndicate with fun, laid back people. I don't want to leave it really. We were top 850 I think so our prizes are getting better.
Just stick with it then? If I could find a better Syndicate, I might be able to catch up start wise quicker

Sure dude. You've been playing for a short time, its a shame to see an account wasted but, top 850 isn't bad at all out of the over 4,000 out there. Go with your potential brad. If you want to start over, play it right from the beginning. Minimize XP and gain stats( mostly impossible without camping out in a syndicate). You can try hard to keep this account or start new, at this point. good luck!

There is nothing top about 850.
Ditch your syndicate and get into a top 100.
You need SLTQ finishes and tons of Raid Boss epics and legendaries.

Send your old mates postcards from the edge.......of glory.

Yeah, because lvl 100 with 2 mil stats gets you in a top 100. lol

Start over is best, even if you got into a better syndicate, they would not want you during battle as you are a weak link, a bunny so to speak

if you plan on spending on the game, many teams will allow you to donate gift cards and let you join team for war. someone else will score the IP for you. This is much more desirable now with the individual goals...

Plus, raid boss events require a lot of uzis. Buy uzis with gold and you can likely hook up with a team that is short on uzis if you donate. you can amass a decent amount of gold watching videos and tapjoy.

If you have the Midas touch no one cares about your stats in the second half of the top 100.
Unless a streak team.
