Darn No more sunny vacattions and orange pina coladas. LOL.  I have to think that if there was any real intrest in doing something, it would have happened by now.

Can this be more explicit for the new arrivals as well. Meaning what this entails and what the future holds? 

 

Thank you

Why are all you all panicking?


The cities are being removed because there's no plans to auth into them so what's the point of keeping them around? If removing these cities accelerates the much touted city district feature then that's for the benefit of the game in the long run, though given LV's importance to the organised crime world I'd prefer it if they removed a different city first.

"May i ask what happened to any monies in the city banks for those cities?"

It has been added to your Federal Bank as of this morning.

Am eagerly anticipating the district set up

Report Post Tip

Personally I feel districts could have been added while LV and LA was "inactive" to the same effect.

It breaks my heart to see them gone, Even if it is temporarily.

Report Post Tip

The game simply cant support 40 cities. All cities will be shutting down to make way for the Districts. Each area contains 5 sub areas, we originally had 8 cities, that means 40 areas, we simply do not have the population for it.

I really can't justify having two cities with a 1 week round trip travel time that has 10 people in it. Nor would I feel good yanking the city away from whoever decides to set up in it in a month just to be there for a week or two and say "Sorry, you are moving to NY now, I know they already claimed all the space already, and they have been working together for quite some time, try to stay alive though!"

What better time to remove a city than when no one has any immediate plans to remove it. This provides the least disruption to everyone as a whole.

Vegas gone :( Proberly one of my Fav cities on here Never really had an oppertunity to work in LA but would have liked to Oh well guess we see how these districts work out

It just isn't a mafia game without Las Vegas but I understand the reasoning g squishy but seeing as all the cities are populated now shouldn't we have 1 of those cities open to allow say deadly sin his city is poping at the seems to be allowed the lil run to send someone out? 4 cities is pretty small

Wow....

Anyone who says this isnt a big, effective change, you are very wrong.
This month alone we have changed wb death, gun tapering, the way we do bgs, and now cities. Not to count the way DFPs are done now also. These are just the major changed in 1 month alone....

La and LV are connected to people in a lot of ways and people actually care about those cities being here, myself included.

Can't wait for the next change. Soon i won't even know how to play this game again soon without watching every thread to double check myself.
PC and admin alike need to slow down and that is just my 2 cents. Change, change, and change does not seem attractive. Especially big changes that have already been enforced.

*sighs*

End rant.

I always take the time to hear out every users opinion about any topic of MR. Do you mind walking me through which routes would have been better to achieve the desired results?

This removal of cities as an example - very shortly we will be opening up the districts. If we had not planned ahead, we would have had to open 40 areas to replace the existing 8. I personally believe 40 is too many. I also believe that having a city that has a week round trip from the east coast in a scenario when the game population cant support it, would cause great many of problems. The last thing I want to do is tell existing crews that they need to now find new homes among already claimed and occupied areas. So with that said, why would you choose to make changes at a time when the city is occupied and planned for, as opposed to do it when there are no immediate plans for it and it is unoccupied?

Its easy to play armchair-quarterback (or virtual head coach for you non-USers),but maybe your views would help shape the end result better if you included with them better ideas, rather than just critiquing our existing.

I agree with zero too many changes all at once, not a fan of it. But we will see how it goes I guess.

Atleast we have Beeeewstahn now!

I think i did get squishy's intention here lets say 5 district for every city, traveling in every district will needs a lot of time, 40 district to travel is like we could not make our OC more successfull since we will hardly find each other in the district we will be going, actually 30 district is still many but i do know that our admin is trying to figure things out while the 2 city is shot down. lets just wait for the new update i know it will be good for all of us. we have waited this changes for a very long time we always ask for changes and now that this comes to us why not lets give it a try and wait for it.

Squishy,

Granted I rarely say anything about any of the changes made on MR. To me usually I take it for what it is, and play through it. What I am saying is I don't like all the major changes in such short periods of time, estimated in around a month time. I have always valued your hard work and time you put into this game to make it better ... that said I will go ahead and explain myself. I don't agree with the new wb death change. I don't agree with the new bg changes. I don't agree with gun tapering due to the wb change or the new DFP changes. That however is just me, and my opinion alone does not change a game because I honestly believe in your judgement and the direction you want to take this game.

I would be a liar to say I am not connected to LA and it does pain me to see a city I having to cared about on these types of games for 10 years now. Its always been my favorite city, no secret there.

I don't know better routes, I don't think them out like you and the staff do. No matter the choice, whether I agree with it or not, it will be implicated. Now due to me rarely speaking my opinion, when I do, I tell it to as honest as a degree as I can.

I don't know how other to say it then, I don't agree with the changes because it changes the game so drastically and eventually needs something else to be changed to adapt to already new change. Right now, on thread watch, I need the new bg rules, gun tapering, hq wacking rules since wb is only available on real active accounts. All these changes, within a month peroid. Does this not seem a little excessive and a lot in a short time. The game as we know it from 5-3 months ago is not close to the game it is today. It might be a lot of changes but it changed how we have to play the game as a whole. That started back with the wb death and it being taken out without a decent replacement in my opinion. And while replacing that it was completely turned off. During that time a war happened, which only risk factor in it was a 1%. That war without any wb, is huge. If it were active, who knows, someone big in the the war could have been a game changer. Then after the war we find a replacement for it. I didn't bitch about this until now because, it does not really matter. Same outcome would have happened but without it, it made things rather dull to me. I don't speak for everyone though. I just liked the risk of shooting and got excitement from it amd maybe seeing the game change as a whole from one shot. Now i will be surprised to even see the top gun shoot in a war unless he is needed to. In theory: lets say Phil and DS and SquidMaster go to a war with LA again. With wb enabled do you think the top guns will even shoot if they know the war can be won with supporting cast? I wouldn't risk it unless I was the only one that could hit that individual. If multiple cities attack one, the strong will just have the job of coordinating the war and occasionally bg wacking to get a hitter they have that can connect the shot. No needed risk for wb for top guns. Just some different senerios and how the game has changed how we play it.

I don't like how bgs are done or the timing of it. I personally believed the demote was a good exchange because it is harder to rank. This change screws DET and how Revolve can keep up with the other cities now. I am just a believer and lover of the game with big guns and big bgs. Those are just my feelings on the matter. I am sorry if I offended anyone or people just don't agree with me. Just how I feel about all the change, so quick and its effects on this total different game we play now. Like I said though, I don't usually express my opinion because I trust your judgement and I will continue to do so. In the end, you know better to what you are doing, not me.

Sorry for typos, on my phone.

Looking forward to the opening of districts.

Some times you just got to keep your big boy knickers on, Granted alot of changes have come but its all been things that have been on the chopping block for years now and with the pc addition many things are getting hashed out and coming to light. Some you may not agree with but atleast they are trying somethings to replace the problems the user base has been screaming about over the years. Your not always going to agree with everything in life, Squishy and the staff take a very hard look at everything they implement and I respect them for it.
