    Vault Limit

    Can we get a vault limit increase? I really like the way you can bank all you want to bank in Crime City, even with a 10% fee.

    I think most people donate everything over vault to their Factions, so I don't think having the limit set at $90M is leaving a lot of players out there over-vault bleeding money.

    Increasing the vault limit will allow people to upgrade their buildings to higher levels, which will lead to more people raiding, and getting more money from the raids. I know some people argue that a vault limit increase will keep people from being over their vault limit, which reduces attacks, but I would much rather go to someone's base and hit a Level 10 Oil Rig, then attack them 12 times because they're over vault.

    Please Gree, the game has been going for 2 years, it's time to increase the vault limit.

    First it hasn't been two years.

    The Vault started out at 10 million Max.

    Last year they increased it to 90 Million (so they have already increased it once)

    I personally don't like the idea of an increased Vault. Its hard enough to find money as it is and generally im a pretty nice guy and don't hit people for money...Sometimes i will raid one buildings but then leave the rest. The point is its a war game. Just because you would rather raid a lvl 10 Oil Rig doesn't mean we should have the option to either Raid or Attack.

    Also plenty of people go over vault. Thats how you pay for things. Its part of the game. It makes it exciting and fun!

    Agreed Thief, the only time my vault is at or below 90mil is 5min before war when there's no limit to what an opponent can take during battle. I just donate it to the faction and then when wars over start over.

    I completely disagree. Its hard enough to find people over vault who I can beat & I have a hard time raiding nowadays because players have gotten their money collection on schedules. If anything I'd like to see the vault decreased. Then everyone would be over vault & there would be more attacks. It'd be easier to make money. & it benefits gree too. If they decrease the vault then more players will be attack for money which will give them xp. When they level up some parts of the game become harder & need more gold to complete. But that's just my idea of seeing it.

    I understand what the people are saying who are opposed to this, but even if they double the vault limit people will still go over vault. The Romanic Cathedral was something like $110M just to build. At the very least, no building should cost more to upgrade to Level 2 than the maximum vault limit.

    I don't care if the vault is $300M. People will still go over vault to get that $325M upgrade. And you can say people have their buildings timed, but as soon as you start an upgrade on a 24 hour building, that building is out of sync with the rest of your collections.

    Additionally, only the people who can afford to upgrade their vaults are going to. And you're right, the limit was originally $10M, but that was also before Gree started giving out massive stat inflation units. Back then, if you employed strategy on what you upgraded and what units you purchased you could stay competitve. That is not the case now. Gree has inflated people's stats to huge levels, I just think the Vault Limit should follow the same lines.

    It is a war game... but how many Military Bases have you visited where money is just lying around unprotected?

    Excellent point, tomstenson. Double the limit, we will still all be over vaulted most of the time. Everything has massively inflated.

    I was a vault increase proponent not too long ago until I got off my arse and started to raid my 51 stamina 4-5 times a day. Now being overvault and having somebody take $3.6M isn't as close to the problem that I thought it was. Although I won't get my ANI to level 10, I will get it to level 9 before the challenge is over, with most of it paid through raiding. It's time consuming but that's the point of the game, or any other... Participation. So I'm for keeping the status quo at 90M. IMHO.

    No on raising vault limits. Either get stronger, decrease allies, or raid more often. I bet, if you were to go over vault, you might only be attacked once, possibly twice, throughout the day. And it's what makes the game more enjoyable, the ability to beat someone and take their money to become stronger.

    Man up and deal with it!

    anyone who has played this game for awhile knows what will happen if the vault got increased to say $500M. There will be no limited time buildings for less than $750M. good luck saving for even 1 upgrade

    I respect your opinion but disagree with your assessment.

    You state that if the Vault is increased to 300M and an upgrade costs 325M they will still go for it? Correct they will...but they don't need to actually go over vault to accomplish that (for more than a few seconds). If they have the ability to save up 325 Million they will go for it if the Vault is 90 million still as well.

    As for Stat inflation the first 3 LE buildings were the most expensive @ 100 million (with the exception of the more recent Roman Cathedral for a 10% increase of 110M) Back during those first 3 upgrades though the vault was 10 million. And IPH didn't have bonuses and you had a good IPH if you had a 1 million IPH. It wasn't a right to have the buildings you had to work VERY hard for them. It was a great accomplishment for those of us who spent the hard time and effort developing strategies to pay for them and has been one of the more enjoyable parts of the game for me.

    Finally I will resonate your final statement. Unless you have 0 troops your money isn't unprotected...your army is your protection. If an army is smaller or weaker than there is no such thing as a Vault to protect it. Vaults can be destroyed or blown up. Be thankful there is a Vault to make sure you can develop buildings to reach your long term goals.

    If anything I would imagine that gree increases the max amount of money that someone can be attacked for. So instead of 3.6 Million perhaps they increase it to 1 million per attack for a max of 12 million? (I would say don't implement this for players under lvl 150 though)

    Are you guys unaware of the policy of changes around here? You will need a group of 20mil+ stat guys to whine, cry, and threaten to quit if you want change. Otherwise, it's a waste of bandwidth. What are the babies going to do now when officers go rogue. They should have just quit!

    Personally I dont see any major fault with the current system.

    If You could raid 1mil per hit people would be raiding 200 mil in 10 hours. The LE's price would rocket.

    If the vaults increased your removing some of the fun. I like my 3.6 mil and some blocks, if theres targets in 10 hours your looking at 60 mil. All about planning how you do things
