Suggestions for a better Crime City

Post your requests for a better Crime City here.

Then a second thread of the top 4 or 5 suggestions will be made into a poll addressed to Gree. That way they can see where we'd like them to focus their energy.

I'll start with Big Money's request

Kindly address the auto scroll during battles issue for Android users

Personally I think they should implement a time lock during battles. The first half of battle people can be added and dropped as necessary during syndicate battles.

This may or may not work. but I think its worth a shot.



Updated with suggestions submitted.


Auto shake for building collection in one’s own hood (option in the settings menu: turn shake to collect on or off.)

Balance out the event schedule to allow for more downtime between events.

Limit declaring battle to officers only

Time Lock Syndicates during wars i.ie. a grace period before people can’t be booted

A general update thread re: what Gree is working on rolling out in the foreseeable future.

RP purchasable LTB’s

Have a Max hit option on PvP’s

Eliminate Auto scroll during battle for Android.

Keep any issued schedule fixed regardless of server issues or code problems.

A second Hood.

Winning a syndicate battle bestows an ip bonus

Buildings already robbed or collected shouldn't have the cash symbol

Better/different daily scratchers.

Take off the ten percent when you bank your money...... allow othwr players to donate to other players. ..... and get better prizes on the sratcher.....

Not to denigrate your post too much but......

- If they took off the 10% bank, what would be the incentive to hold on to money and what would be the point of the bank?

- Allowing player to player donations is fraught with abuse possibilities. Players would simply create feeder accounts.

- Agree on scratcher prizes.

Free deposits would be bad, no reason to hold on to money ever, if other players could donate to other players trying to save money for buildings and such wouldnt be fun. Agree on scratcher

Get rid of hacking syndicates like GoTTi

Get rid of the doorknob(s) that make the incredibly poor decisions, i.e. extend the battle, don't extend the battle, change tiers at the last moment. I don't know who at Gree thinks these are "Good Ideas", but they need to go...

I don't need newer events atm, I'd rather GREE clean up their cc act (technical and communications) before striving for newfangled events.

1. Prioritise elimination of hackers/cheats - backend & data should be able to support swifter investigations

2. Balanced event schedule - build in some 'downtime' between events. when this feels like a ratrace, players will dropout faster.

3. Better event management & comms - stick to schedule, communicate openly about fubars

4. Let people know what's in the works in the next release (bugfixes, improvements, etc) - be open, let people know things are improving.

Ok I hear yeah about donating to other players... it would be kinda cool the 10% this I got from modern war cuz you don't do it there but come on the scratchers the prizes don't even effect my stats anymore

The "Shake to Auto-Collect" your buildings when in your Hood option, now that would be great!

(just trying to be constructive, I completely understand why people might be a little....catty-whompus right now )

* A schedule with less events but better and more info about them from start.

* Donate between players could work if it would cost something.
I´d say make it possible and charge a fee of 20% to prevent "abuse". But do not implent any items with mods removing the fee.

* I would also like to be able to buy buildings with respect points instead of cash or gold only.

* The ability to attack other syndicates (outside events) and be able to win some of the vaulted cash from the other syndicate. Ofcourse this would require some serious thoughts on how to make it happen, otherwise it could be abused very much. But lets say the defending synd has to accept a 1-2 hour war and all def-buildings from the members at the defending synd would count. That way we wouldn´t have hade a superstrong synd attacking a rich but "weak" synd.
Maybe add that new tokens as rewards for the winning syndicate.
(the idea could be adjusted alot)

* Let us have bigger hideouts, or as already been suggested, a second hood. But with a second hood, only one hood woul dbe able to be defended by the player, (the charachter can´t really be at 2 places at the same time) the other would only have the def-buildings defending if it where to be robbed. Ofcourse you should be able to build and upgrade in both hoods at the same time.

+1 Auto-shake would be AWESOME!!

During syndicate wars, make the win/loss relevant. Perhaps bonus points for the winning team?

Might be too late for this. Alot of players completely fed up wasting their time, money and hoping for improvements.

Would take more than hood shake and shiny new prizes to get me back playing like I was. I like the building IPH aspects but even that is going to inflate like crazy with the modifiers they're putting out.

The ability to rob a player and leave a decoration in their hood would be entertaining.
Also with the wonky building times and hood stalkers I wouldn't mind being able to buy immunity from robberies for about 8 hours while I sleep.

That'd certainly be very handy for my L3, $4k iph camper. I could feed him $10m/hr comfortably, probably (definitely) a lot more, actually.

Yes!
This has been brought up on and off for the past year. RP is becoming increasingly pointless. Introduce a RP-purchased LTB. Perhaps tie it in with a PvP event to both encourage and reward PvP participation. While we're on it, fix the pvp scoring system and make at least the individual prizes somewhat worthwhile. I love PvP and will fight regardless, but spending a lot of hours getting 7th in PvP gave me a prize that barely makes my fight screen, whereas 20 minutes work on an LTQ gives me a high-end weapon in a tough category.

So, in other words, a hood that has no defense at all, but allows for parallel upgrades?

Interesting idea. It'd obviously send IPHs soaring (as it essentially is giving the 2nd most recent #1 prize to everyone, and doubling FC and Lui's current mod). It'd certainly create more day to day PvP activity.

I think a key issue to be sorted would be moving buildings between the two hoods. If you allow it, then obviously people would just stack their undefended hood with weak blds and/or buildings that can always be collected, plus use it as an upgrade farm. However if you didn't allow it then it introduces an odd 'frozen in time' moment. In reality the end result would be delete/rebuild of a lot of buildings to get them in the right hoods.

I have no idea how I am losing to guys with with 100k less stats than me.... what's up with that

Here's the shortlist so far. I intend to create a poll this evening. so if you have any additional ideas please submit.

Auto shake for building collection in one’s own hood

A second Hood.

Buildings already robbed or collected shouldn't have the cash symbol

not sure if it's suggested already or not

DO NOT give experience point as "reward"... make negative experience point as reward if possible

It would be nice if I didn't have to zoom out every time I visit a new hood.

Stop introducing these ltb's if we aren't allowed to expand our hoods anymore. Eventually my hood will just be full of these buildings with stupid collection times.

I would be happy if the next time I robbed a building it didn't either say $1 or already robbed.
Can't imagine that it is a hard fix.

Being able to view potential recruits' stats before you accept/reject them would get my vote.

Have a syndicate hood! Buildings and upgrades cost 5x more but the whole syndicate receives the benefits... More gold and cash will be spent so its in gree's favour. Lower level players will have a better iph so its easier to improve.

Also... Add a choice of mods to the final prize in case events. Have an option of 3 mods which you can select each case event!

I'd rather auto collect be a button or something. Accidently moving your device would collect everything. What if you wanted to just collect some of your buildings and leave others to sync things up. They could make it an option in the settings menu: turn shake to collect on or off.

They should give us an option to upgrade two buildings at once. Especially two IDENTICAL buildings. We should be able to upgrade them simultaneously, with it only counting as ONE upgrade, if an expansion is also purchased.

1. Option to collect all buildings at once.
2. Donate between players. (Fixed amount that can only be done once or as another said put some kinda fee on it).
3. Two accounts on the same device, some way to sign in and out.
4. More time between events, starting to get burned out on this constant grind.
5. Rewards within the syndicate, given by the Leader. How the syndicate places in Syndicate battles could determine what reward is available for the leader to give.

Give officers more responsibility like the ability to kick players and buy hideouts...

Silly thread asking for things that have already been rejected long ago. There are two syndicates in the top 25 who should have their characters wiped and banned. Secure the game from cheaters, then worry about new content. Ignore these noobs.

You're always the voice of reason, Dippy! +1

The android scrolling issue is something I think a lot of us would like fixed now not at some distant point in the future after all cheaters have been dealt with.

My point is there are immediate concerns that I think people would like Gree feedback on. There's a lot of negativity in this forum as a result of frustrations. This is an attempt to be proactive and it beats choosing between acrimony and apathy.

Maybe a contest on which syndicate could make the best Macaroni drawings. Just need a plate, macaroni, glitter, and some glue.

OMG HTC Blue would OWN you at macaroni art! Bring it on!

i agree on the scratcher. switch out the prizes monthly for different ones.

give everyone that bought gold in the last battle a free modifier for 10-25% off either building cost or upgrade cost

give us the options to buy older ltb buildings.

add some new buildings to the regular building list

add some better modifiers to the syndicate bonus menu

agree on the auto collect button option,

also would like the option to sync all buildings of same hour time. example....if your night clubs are off sync and once collects in 5hrs and the other in 3 hours. give the option to sync the one with 3 hours left to the one with 5 hours left.

1. Better scratchier items would be great.

2. Make it so that the chance of successfully robbing someone is proportional to the difference of attack to defenders defense. Example: if attacker has about 110k attack and defender has 200k defense then there would be 10% chance of successful attack, if 150k attack to 200k defense then there is a 50% chance of successful attack, if 190k attack to 200k defense there is 90% chance of successful attack. Anthing below 50% of the ratio will be unsuccessful like it is now.

3. Make it so that successful attacking a player gives out a percentage of what they have in their pocket. Make it a random percentage (like 1% to 10%). The more money they win the more xp gain there is. Also make it so that both robbing and attacking the same player consecutively will compound the xp gains. By doing this helps protect campers from being harassed a lot by the same players, but also provides lots of money to poor players with high stats. If they want easy quick money than it should be at the expense of xp. From my experience nobody ever attacks and wins, but i get many robbers that win. 2 reasons for this: 1. More money from buildings with very little xp gain. 2. It is way easier to rob than to attack high stat players when defense from items is halved.

4. XP reduction items for them camper lovers. Make some very rare (2 or 3 times a year) items you can buy with gold or earned in events that reduce xp gains; either across the board xp reduction or individual xp gains like robbing or attacking or pve.

I thim k there should be more of a reasonaable time frame to finish events for non gold users like the ltb should be a full month the ltqs should be at least 6 days boss events 5 days and crate events 5 days

LTB = Limited Time Building

Keyword (in case this wasn't clear): Limited Time

How about fixing this bogus gap in stats when being robbed and attacked. The more you spend to get stronger to be better than people the bigger the gap of who can beat you. I am getting raided and attacked by people with almost 300k less stats than me. Its insane. Thats beyond the absurd random factor excuse we have been fed forever. Please fix this.

Also we have real lives...give us a grace period on buildings to be collected. Either do it by collection time or amt collection.

I think they should change the xp prize for LTQ's to a negative xp prize. I don't know anyone that feels more xp is a good prize its just a hurdle to get to the next real prize.

here is an idea, give us the opertunity to buy buildings like in Modern War that increase stats.
somehting like this

A Garage that increases either car attack or defense,
police department that increases gun attack
military surplus store that increases gun defense
FBI building that increases armor attack or defense
a cutlery store that increases melee attack or defense

give us something along theselines

These might work:

1. Buy a wife feature. More Gold gets a better wife. Whilst we're sleeping or watching football she can be automatically sent out to do robberies, handle all SLTQs and do our ironing. She could also be rented out.
2. Integrate with KA game so we can buy lots of castles and walk about in green stockings.
3. Introduce a collect cocaine hunt across all maps. Collect all cocaine and win a trip to the moon. Or some other desolate place like a Gree employee's mind.
4. Add a feature where our avatars can walk through our buildings as if by magic... oh, we have that feature already
5. Give us a few extra decorations that are 1-pixel in size but when we see them in the menu they look massive. Like earth worms and dog muck. Make them neon so we can see them if we wanna shuffle them about on our hoods.
6. Add a series of advertising hoardings that can be clicked on and redirect us to porn sites or other games that we enjoy playing more cos they're better managed (eg. Pretty Pet Salon 2 and Scrabble)

1 event a week, 1 war and 1 pvp a month was fine with me. Now it's just too much with all these side quests. It's a ploy to spend more gold. They want every dime they can squeeze out of you. I can no longer be part of it.
