I'm getting 5 attacks in instead of 10. Is there a reason for this? This has been happening to me a lot today. Thanks.
Edit:Summary of what I think we've learned over the past 17 hours:
1. 5 attacks per fight before a player is too beat up
2. You can only attack the same rival once within a set number of time, which we are assuming may be 24 hours? Others might still be able to attack that rival if the gun symbol stays above his head? There are some rivals with no gun symbols who are too beat up.
3. You need to attack a rival before you rob a rival if you want to make 5 full attacks. Each time you rob, that's one less attack the game allows toward the rivals 5 attacks.
4. It takes twice as much time to use up your stamina because you have to visit twice as many hoods to complete your TL goals. This means you are spending more time doing tedious rival searches to use up the same amount of stamina and people have described a "decreased drive and increased boredom" playing this game.
5. More hoods are now visited due to less attacks per rival, so more robberies will take place, so there will be less to rob in general.
6. More hoods are now visited, so everyone is even more pressured to make their own collections on time.
7. Respect from robberies have increased.
8. Any skill point strategy you implemented toward stamina/energy/attack/defense is now tampered with due to changes in the rules for attacking.
9. After the M4A1 nerfing without warning, we were promised by Funzio that we would be told beforehand about major changes to the game. Not only were we not made aware this change would happen, after it did happen Funzio did not post what the changes were, and customers have to spend their time guessing as to what was going on. The new and improved announcements page has not changed since April 23.
10. Yes, Funzio has been sold to new ownership, and the community has no idea how that affects their lives personally. Maybe they are happy with the sale maybe they are not. Regardless, if they are being proactive in taking the time to make major changes to the way people play and strategize in this game, they should also have moderators being proactive in taking the time to announce changes to this game.
I hope we start hearing from the Funzio team, because the speculation is exhausting and frustrating, and the community needs some consistent, positive support from the developers.
