[AMA] Ask The Developer Anything - December 18th - Accomplices

[Clementine]

Clementine will you be answering questions already posted or live questions now?

Thank You

All of the above.

[Engram]

Treating, Mate. When and where will more accomplices be found or acquired via PVP, LTQ, store etc.

The plan is to distribute out Accomplices in various events, including LTQs, Battle for Empire City, Raid Boss, Lockbox Leaderboard events. We don't plan to do direct sales of the Accomplices in the store initially.

Why don't we give gree a chance to explain the accomplices you never know we might like it

In the history of major changes(gold bonus, rivals list, ip changes...) when have we ever liked a major change?

[CatDor]

Starting when?

Engram, your avatar is extremely handsome.

Is that really you or is that just some random pic from the internet?

Now that you killed the game with this dumb move over fighting and robbing.
Losing when your attack is almost double there defence, is this a glitch or the way forward.
No one likes it.
Is there any plans we can move skill points out of stamina so we don't have to play that part of the game.

Losing when your attack is almost double their defense - this is not how the feature functions. You currently cannot see your opponents' attack on the battle results screen, so you may have lost due to their higher attack stats. We are working on adding more transparency to the battle results screen.

There are plans for new functionality that will allow players to reallocate their skill points.

Welcome back engram. If we seem a little harsh at times, it only because we love this game a lot. It's not personal. We're just scared of losing our big "investments" in this game.

Relocation of skills points be coming out with the expansion and when will the expansion come out

I have lost robs and attacks today where both my attack and defense was higher than the other account.

It's really him.

[Engram]

Is there any way we can unassign the accomplice in the kingpin? Its seems that once assigned it can only be remove by assigning another to replace it.

Not in the initial release of the Accomplice feature.

In the meantime, we will be releasing all category types of varying stat powers starting this month, so you will be able to tune your team.

Are there any plans to open up the rivals list to include everyone at a given level?

I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly, but we currently match players based on their relative strength. Strength is based on stats, mafia size, and kingpin power, not level. There are no plans at the moment to change this.

[Vince Tempel]

When attacking or robbing it cost 1 stamina. Now it is ranging from 1-3 in cost. Is this new or bug.

Thank You

I am level 250 with 484 mill attack and 213 def. Virtually every account on my rival list is over a bill attack. I can't participate in any robbing or attacking unless it is on my news feed from someone that lost to me.

Totally understand.

It pains me personally when we aren't providing the Crime City community the quality game you deserve.
