Look, we all hated this concept when it started. Remember when we couldn't rob people? Remember how we all complained when realized we'd have to start doing LTQs again just so we wouldn't fall behind? None of us wanted accmplices/kingpins. We didn't understand it. We thought it was absurd that stats were only partially responsible for winning and losing. I'm glad they seemed to pull the plug on this. (There were no accomplices in the last LTQ, and there aren't any in Street Assault.) I commend GREE for nipping this in the bud rather quickly. If you're one of these people who went balls to the wall and spent a ton of money to get accomplices, my heart does not bleed for you. My guess is that you won't miss that money. It comes with the territory when investing real money into a game. Suck it up, pour yourself another glass of overpriced scotch, and move on, Sally.

1st) Who's "we"? When a game adds a new feature I'm quite excited to have something new to do, and noome I know "hated" this concept, street assault is still awful tho.

2nd) You'd have to start doing LTQ's AGAIN? That implies you quit doing ltqs, do u have the best weapon in the game for every mafia member u have? And if so I would assume you're the one drinking overpriced scotch, and buying vaults of gold daily. So sorry u couldn't buy accomplices.
I mean, if ur not doing LTQ's then do u even play this game daily?
Accomplices were implemented to give something other than ur mafia size & the weapons they have to matter in battle, and it was a darn good concept. We should all be glad GREE is trying to move this game forward and not resting on their laurels. If u don't "understand" the game mechanics then perhaps strategy games aren't for your inferior mind. If u were "Top Dog" but aren't anymore cuz u didn't wanna play the game to get accomplices we don't need you, cuz you aren't even playing ya jerk.

Also, did anyone notice it says "ACCOMPLICES WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF BATTLE". That means they will still factor into PvP AMD anything else, they aren't being deleted entirely, but I am sad to see innovation be met with such backwards thinking, *sigh*

If O_TH wasn't doing LTQs it's probably for the same I haven't been doing them (and haven't looked at the one now running); unless you're prepared to drop a couple of vaults to finish the prizes aren't worthwhile.

I do agree with you in that accomplices allowed players to use their brain rather than just mindless tapping. The same is true of SA if you play on a team that doesn't just spend gold like its going out of fashion.

"Battle" means both war and PvP. Same algorithim. Sorry.

I have 126 mil attck and I just lost to 88 mil def. accomplices crap is still in place. get rid of that greedy plz

[Nighteg]

So there's a rumor going around that accomplices are going to somehow be integrated into RB dmg. I really hope that's not true!

[Jack Bauer 24]

This thread is pointless. Everybody complained about the accomplices, now that they are taking them away everybody is complaining. I understand you guys are upset about the money you spent, but it is a video game after all. I don't think gree accessed your apple or android device and used your credit or debit card information without your consent. Your all grown folks, stop the whining.



I'll save this space down here for the person who's going to say "what's the point of your post your just whining". Your welcome. Feel free to correct any misspellings that my iPad didn't.

Attention Crime Lords!


Exciting update: Beginning with the Duel for the Deuces Battle for Empire City, Accomplices will no longer factor into battle calculations. Though all Accomplices you've recruited will still remain in your inventory, battle calculations will be calculated using only Mafia Stats. We hope you enjoy the classic Battle for Empire City and build the strongest Mafia to dominate and defeat your enemies! More details to come on how Accomplices will be used to enhance your Mafia.

Accomplices haven't been around a full fiscal quarter. So there's nothing any business news outlet would have to report on about them. Quit trying to act like you're in the know.

I will ignore you now since you didn't cite any sources showing accomplices lost gree money.

Let's recap

*Acc/KP was announced
*We were told we could only get them as prizes or in events.
*We were told we could not buy them.
*Players spend a lot on ltq's, even the ones who don't like XP.
*No one could rob anyone.
*attack and defense were combined to one.
*attack and defense were divided.
*everyone could nearly beat everyone.
*crates were now sold with Acc/KP.
*players bought crates like never before.
*everyone could now beat everyone.
*crates were no longer including Acc/KP.
*acc/KP is no longer counted in battle.

I'm not a big spender, but I do understand why players are angry, and some want a refund, for something that seem very worthless right now, and I'm having a hard time imaging how GREE can make us happy again, this seems like a major disaster.

[Alphasurf]

I like kingpin power and accomplices. I think it is great that gree is bringing new things to the game!
