Hello. I just saw the "game review" option at profile in game and i've decided to write it here because i think it's good opportunity to discuss the game as it is now, share opinions and maybe give some ideas for changes. Here is my review(sorry for the wall of text lol xD) :
Since i came back to play this game, i tried and i am still trying to convince my friends to give a try to this game(new players) or try to bring back some old friends from this game to play together again. But i always hear the same thing from them : the game is boring because it's repetitive. I asked my friends why they don't wanna try this game and they said it seems like a brainless game for most of the time. You just click click on a robbery then you take stamina and repeat the process again for a couple of hours per day for more than a month. And i think they are right(sort of). It's 2018, slowly but surely the browser games are dying. Everybody has a good smartphone where they can play fancy games when they are away from home or play non-browser games when they are at home. Not everybody is going to enjoy a game where you have to robb like a mindless chicken for most of the time or spend hours at dealer to hunt drugs. Even if you make an mobile app for this game, it will still be boring and hard to play from a phone. Can you imagine somebody into a rave, playing from a smartphone, escaping a hunter that plays from the computer?
So here are my ideas to change things a bit. I know it will still have the same boring mechanism but i think it's a good start to make the game less boring.
1) Reduce the number of tickets for normal accounts and add more tickets for VIP accounts.
Maybe a lot of you think i'm crazy because i would want to spend even more money. Well, i can assure you i am not the type to buy a lot of credits but i think it's a necessary thing. Why? Firstly, it will reduce the rabbit milking. The majority of accounts that are made only for a milking purpose(rabbits) are not VIP accounts. So less tickets means less stats to milk, less cash to influence the stock and drug markets, less money donated to gangs and so on. Secondly, i think there are a bit too many tickets right now that cause that boring process of repetitive brainless clicking that i've talked about in the start of the thread. Something like 1 ticket / 10 minutes for normal users and 25-30 instead of 15 at day change for VIP users should be good.
Just look at how the stock market is right now. Because there are a lot of rabbits made with VPNs, players that come to play only to help friends or TW users, the stock is done before day 20 into a round that takes 180. Less tickets would mean less money to buy them so early and give some time to other players that don't have tons of rabbits behind them.
2) Add more robbs and grow the stamina required for all robbs.
In my opinion, it's a bit crazy how most of the people have lvl 10-11 before day 40 and the only thing keeping them away from reaching Godfather is the fact that FK comes in day 60. Almost everyone has power to robb Motorcycle Gang around day 30(around day 10 with milking) and it's crazy since it should be a hard robbery. I think the game as it is now, it's not challenging enough for people to make lvls. If you grow the stamina for robbs it would be great since: people will robb faster so less time to get bored, there will be less money and less stats so advancing in robbs and lvls will not be so easy. Also adding more robberies should be fun, maybe a random robb that gives you stocks.
Also, a requierment like invest X amount for lvls could be a good idea to make them harder to pass early in the game.
3) Add new daily missions to the Alley.
I think funny and challenging missions like : win 10 blackjack games in a row, get 1kkk profit from casino games, kill 5 players from 5 different countries into a day, have the biggest robb money wise, sell drugs at dealer for an amount of x money and the list can continue for so long. The rewards should not be very high, some tickets/credits and some money should be good.
4) Autocomplete drugs in raves for VIP accounts.
I think with the mobile app coming this will come in handly. Even more for the new players. Something like the whore button from the whorehouse added into drug raves to auto make it 100% only for VIP accounts.
5) Raise the maximum lvl for buildings.
Give to players something to invest money on. Something like 20 maximum lvl instead of 13, but balance the production so it will be lower early on.
6) Random event for whores.
So there are events for robbs, drugs, stocks, ships and so on but not even 1 for whores. Make an event where the production for whores gets bigger for the next 2 tc days or cheaper whores, or something like that.
7) Make the bots accept faster virtual robbs.
Not everyone can enter into a top gang to robb,especially new players that can be considered rabbits so many players robb in virtual, but sometimes(in the morning for example) there are not enough players to robb in virtual so waiting 1-2 minutes for bots to accept 1 single robb it's a pain the ass. Make it faster.
8 ) Make stock to appear random in the market(same like drugs dealer).
I don't think i have to explain this because i bet everybody knows how the stock is being abused by big teams or rabbits. Make it random so it won't be so easy to transfer it between accounts or to keep the price high for the main acount when selling.
9) Remove the Oil requierment for Hitman lvl.
I dont see the point making the hitman robb a RANDOM robbery to grow a lvl. If you want to make it harder for them to gain lvl, just raise the power(attack or robb) required for lvl up, don't put a random robb there because it sucks for them.
10) Bring back old fight chat.
You said that you don't want the old fight chat because it was easy to transfer stats. Well, i think it's easy to transfer anyway since the raves are not anonymus anymore so at least change the fight chat because this one is boring and the only way to fight 1v1 is to spam raves with limits which is boring.
11) Change the items from the arms dealer.
Just try to balance them so all will be viable and not only the invest one will be good. You can argue that Junkie can be usefull too, but only if you lucky enough to buy something needed later for a ship, otherwise it's a pretty high risk since the price can go down. And the others are pretty useless if you compare them to those written before.
I think that's it for now. What i dislike about the game right now besides the boring robbing and drug hunting, is the fact that it's easy to boost accounts and make it easy for them. I don't think that's fair and should't be the way to play this game. Teams should help eachother by staying together in a gang and hunting ga or robbing together not by milking stats. By letting the game this way, not only you make it unfair for the majority of the player base, but you let people exploit it. Like making tons of accounts with VPN, TW, buying phone SIMs and so on. I mean, it's so easy to have 10+ accounts and not get banned. Is that fair? How can you expect to bring new players into this game when they literally stand no chance without a team. You can have the best tactic in the world, but if you don't get help or abuse the system you will not win anything.
You changed the way stats are gained after some attacks from the same account and it makes it harder for teams that abuse the system to milk, but they still do it pretty easy since they have tons of accounts, but this change made it almost impossible for the honest players to put stats. For example if player X has 2 friends with 1 account for each and they want to help player X to gain stats early, it would be very hard to actullay make something from it because with 2 attacks and low stats after 2 attacks means there is a little benefit. And now think about player Y who has 10 friends with 10 accounts for each and wants to put stats. He will manage to milk them pretty well and gain an unfair advatange. That's why you always see the same players, same teams in top because they know how to exploit the game without being punished and they just rotate the main account every round so everybody will take a medal.
I know it's hard to make this game single account based since it has such a big history of playing with rabbits and it's in people's DNA, but if you decided to make it against the rules to play with more than 1 account, just make sure nobody exploits it.
