Crime City Quickie Questions

I have a similar plan:
NCs
Pagoda
Palms/Casino/GC/RC/PT
Office/Church/Hotel/UC
CA/Condo

Then my "ultra-saver" options - Frosty, Loft, MT (the ones which are essentially completely free, with relatively long upgrade times) which I use when I would otherwise need to do 2 of the non-NC upgrades.

As others have noted, LTBs screw with this, and I haven't really hit a point where I'd make hard decisions about Pagoda upgrades (my seconds is on L3, so is the obvious next upgrade - when the upgrades go north of $100m it'll be a tougher choice). I think the power of the Pagoda will shake up the process for a fair while. Or at least until an LTB that is cheap enough for me to smash through straight away pops up.

I'm new to playing this and level 20 I have 1067 defence and attack and I can never attack and win against anyone because they all have 3000, 7000 etc even at the same level as me 20, how am I meant to even play this and complete attack missions when everyone's levels are so much higher? I can't get mine any higher as I never have any money! I don't see how all of the level 20's on the fight list have a higher attack and defence all the time every single one of them.

Well here a tip when you go rival profile look at the inventory they have and figure out if they are gold player, free player or a camper .

Gold player are those players with muiltiple crate item and have good item with ( more 100 attack)

Free player have only basic weapons and couple of scratcher item ( usually 20-30)

Campers these are player who have been at low level for 6 or more months ( They will usually have 100 scartcher items).

Your best bet is find free player who don't understand the game ( if you hood who adbandon building at level 10 they are easy target because defence is inflated you should be able beat them)

Your second option is become a camper slow build your hood and defence over next couple of months.

I have an In-App purchase hung up. iTunes has already refunded my money however the CC App keeps trying to complete the download. Getting the below error. Ive submitted a ticket but not getting any kind of response from support.

"You've already purchased this In-App Purchase but it hasnt been downloaded". Ive deleted the CC app and reinstalled several times, rebooted the phone several times.

Anyone know how to fix this, its draining my battery at 13% per hour and is requireing a applieid\password everytime I open the app.

Anyone on here from support?!?

Thanks for the advice all! Mega helpful.

We will see more LE buildings in the near future if GREE continues with LTQ Events. So maybe use your cash for Hood Expansion, save some for Nightclubs (still the most wanted building I think) and wait for other buildings to come. Pagoda for example can be upgraded in short time if compared to a Casino or brownstone...These buildings are really helpful if you Focus on iph.

Yeah I agree. IPH has been my focus for a while now, I was running a hybrid of ROI and IPH from the beginning.

I upgraded MTs until I could afford lofts, and I upgraded lofts until I could afford NCs. My MTs stopped at level 5, and my lofts stopped at level 4, at which point I was able to build and upgrade a NC to level 2. However, I'm also a prolific robber, and at the time I made most of my income from robs. Since then, I've only upgraded my NCs (and more recently the LTBs, but that's another story). It basically comes down to the fact that NCs are far and away the best building, and the only reason I upgrade anything else is that I can't afford my next NC building, so I skim a tiny bit off the top so that I can always have a building upgrading. I have a clear hierarchy of buildings I would upgrade after NCs provided that the upgrade doesn't set me back in my NC-savings fund given my current IPH (unfortunately the LTBs have messed this strategy up, and I've spent NC-funds on upgrading Pagodas/Dockside Mills). My hierarchy of buildings to upgrade is this: NCs > Pagodas > Upscale Clubs / Churches / Rock Cafes > Lofts > MTs.

Damn it looks like you are in the exact same situation as me, just several months into the future

Robbed my way to my first two movie theaters which basically doubled my income at a very low level and catapulted me almost a month ahead of what I was expecting - basically I found a player with lofts (at the ridiculously low level of 17 or something like that) and I left his hood with money to buy almost two whole MT's. Thus I started building MT and aggressively expanding my hood at an early age.


That's a smart build order. As a level 35 though for me its Loft > MT > Dominican > Italian.


Agree on the Type B, they might be useful during upgrade downtime but the marginal IPH increase from upgrading MT or loft is so much greater.

While transferring my game to another device, I think I found a good idea to preserve your character.

You set up your character for transfer that you want to keep in case something bad happens to your device, then you can always transfer it to new device in case you might you need to .

Question is , is there anything bad that can possibly happen if you have your character set up in perpetual transfer mode? Could you keep playing this way?

The reason I'm uncertain is that I've never heard of Gree encouraging their players to do this.

I'd especially want the answer from someone who has successfully saved a character, and themselves from sending a support ticket, to verify it works and there isn't some kind of server reset that would mess the future transfer up.

Hey guys, I need some advice...

I'm a free player, but I've been saving up gold from installing free games and the two times they gave us free gold.
And now I have enough to pay for the "Goodfella" upgrade.
However, is this a smart thing to with the knowing that there might be an crate event with good 10th bonus item. Because there are weekly events now..
I was curious about the opinion of you more experiance players if this is an good upgrade at all.

Maybe its good to know my current stats so here they are (I'll just type the whole list from the game)

Class: Tycoon
Class bonus: Building income +10%
Armor defense +5%
Energy regeneration +2
Building upgrade time -25%
Car defense +10%
Gun defense +15%
Melee defense +20%
Gun attack +3%
Building output +20%
Building defense +25%
Building upgrade cost -51%
Fight respect payout +15%

Total energy 890
Total stamina 60

Im level 71 (because all of these events lately )
Maffia Attack 31859
Maffia Defense 39979
IPH $ 404670

So... do you think the upgrade is worth the cost for me?
Please let me know!

Spending gold on crate events is a very tough sell. There have been players who have dropped 1,000s of gold for the 10th item and still not received it. So, all your patience in earning the gold could be wasted.

A better use is Epic Boss, where for 10 gold you get an addt'l 3 hits, and you are guaranteed a decent item, with a shot a pretty good one.

Goodfella upgrade might be the best if these LTQs are here to stay. With the 10% faster energy refill, you get 20 more stamina / hr, which over a 5 day event is 2,400 more stamina. This could help you finish a level higher in normal mode, and if you are currently finishing in the mid-30's it could be a 500+ / 500+ item.

[panty sniffer]

Upgrading to Goodfella is , by far, the best way to spent 150 gold in the entire game.

10% on stamina refill, 10% faster energy refill, and 10% more income from buildings on an equipment mod would be PHENOMINAL and nothing even comes close. Especially for a measly 150 gold. If I could spend a vault and do it 10 times, I would without even having to think about it.

2nd best place to spend is boss event's and 3rd is on crates. Syndicate wars can be in there somewhere depending on your devotion to your syn and how much your IP means to the team.

[M.C.]

I would definitely support the goodfella Status. 10% on stamina refill and 10% faster energy refill will help you in LTQs and 10% more income from buildings will help you building your iph faster!

Ok, thx guys!

Specially for the tip about the boss. (has there ever been an boss with an stats bonus?)
I've made a huge leap in attack stats during the two last LTQ events (italian jab and the one before)
last boss event i ended by boss 22 or so, and i am curious how I would do now.

Is it wise to wait and see how I'm gonna do on the next boss event? and see from there what is the wisest choice? (spend gold to get to the 40th boss or the upgrade)

If I would do the upgrade How much energy and stamina would I get every minute? (or 3? in stamina)

[Bala82]

Elzo if i was you i save up gold and only use if you want something.

For me i only use Gold for money building like Church and rock cafe that's it.

Use Gold on boss is best if you below level 100 if above use it for LTQ events.

Look up Billionaire's Guide to Boss Events it has the total attack needed to beat each boss depending on your level.

If LTQs are going to be every 2 weeks, I would upgrade to Goodfella first. Just be aware you already have the 10% income boost from Tycoon, you won't get another one.

Your time reduces by 10%, so you get 3 energy every 54 seconds and 1 stamina every 2:42.

Why can't we go back to having one war a month

Because Gree make the decision not us.
