Results and Prizes for the Income Event (news)

[CJ54]

Hey all,

Crime City Mark here (edits are fun). The prizes for the event have been given out. We will not be posting a winner list for this event.

When the event went live there was an internal communication issue that caused various departments to be working with different sets of data, which led to a disorganized event. After a lot of internal work we sorted things out and started looking at the event results only to find a fair deal of cheating. We spent countless hours going over the cheaters, and now we're confident that no cheaters were given event prizes.

Going forward we're going to make sure that information is communicated more accurately between departments, and that we have more information for you (the players) before, during, and after an event.

I apologize for all of the confusion during this event and hope that you'll all bear with us as we try out these new event types.

Here is the minimum IPH for each level bracket:

Level 100 or lower minimum IPH: 99,504
Level 101 or higher minimum IPH: 375,630

If you had more than that at the end of the event, please use the in-game contact method to reach support. Please note that due to support being backed up we are only going to be taking these tickets for another day. Any tickets about this sent in after today will not be investigated.

"Unavoidable delay"? Does that mean Funzio will hold off on starting any new events (ie. some sort of pvp and/or collect 10 items event) until it's finished with this event including the distribution of the prizes? Or should we just expect another "special" event as has been the situation?

Underboss Tournament prize delay: several days.
Big Earner Tournament prize delay: up to a week and a half (?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!)

Wow.

Thanks for the update CJ. The future of this game is looking grim at best.

Thanks for update CJ and congrats to all the potential winners out there

i actually believe with the new tournaments that the game is looking more brighter and better than "grim" i am liking the spin they are putting on things. as far as delays with awarding prizes and publishing winners is a side effect that hasn't been quite worked out yet. but i do think the game is going opposite of what you think

Introducing new content such as tournaments is fine and great, but I'd love to hear what this "spin" is that you're liking so much.

This past event has got to be the poorest idea and execution of an event ever. First, they create an event where pretty much the winners are already determined as it's near impossible for anyone to increase their Income Per Hour significantly over the span of a weekend without spending tons and tons of gold. Is it really an "event" when players such as Koralene can be away the entire weekend not playing the game, yet still win based on her status pre-event? (Nothing against Koralene, just using her to illustrate a point.)

In that regard, Funzio didn't provide any specific rules or guidelines regarding the event, causing people to speculate whether it was based on the overall money collected through robbing during the event, which would actually make some sense in the context of a set time period. Moreoever, there was no type of leaderboard posted as to the current top 500 income earners, so people had no way of gauging where they were, and whether they needed to spend even more gold to even qualify. With the number of cheaters that are prevalent in the game, including those constructing multiple buildings at once, the likelihood that the top 500 income earners all being legit is little to none.

Lastly, the fact that they simultaneously released a collect 10 items event just goes to show that Funzio only cares about forcing people to spend even more money on gold. If Funzio really wanted to develop some new content, why not actually make the awards you get through completing the in-game storyline worthwhile. That would at least give people the choice of whether they want to farm for a certain item, or instead progress through the storyline at a chance for potentially good rewards. Right now, people have absolutely no incentive to complete the in-game goals other than Thug Life.

the spin is the new events they come up with. with regards to simultaneous events the weekly event is a normal thing that has been stated by funzio so any new tournament they start will most likely always overlap the weekly event

as far as providing specific instructions or guidelines it was pretty clear to me in the pop up screen "hourly income from money buildings" i dont see any much clearer than that. to those who interpreted anything other than that were just hoping there was some other way or possibility they could win other than there own income per hour.(if im wrong i stand corrected but i dont think so).

to answer about cheaters. everyone knows by now funzio does squat to cheaters so they are here to stay so if you get beat out by a cheater well thats just SOL deal with it and move on nothing you can do and nothing funzio gonna do.

i believe we the forums members as a whole whether you contributed or not screwed up the chances of funzio ever posting leaderboards again so again get over it and deal with. all you can do is your best during a tournament and hope you make the cut.

Come'on Funzio isnt forcing anyone to spend gold. if you buy gold its by your choice and your own greediness to win the prize or get the event item at any means possible.

you do get awards through storylines and in game play everyting you complete a city to level is it the greatest prize no it isn't but you do get a prize. if you want a better prize then you need to tell yourself be gratefull for what you get for free.

lastly big earners tournament wasn't the best idea but its still a good event because its giving out free items with no gold purchase with great stats
