Oh, and I had a property robbed...not one of my big ones, a smaller one...and I can't tell how much they took...it just turned red when I went to collect them and told me what my "current take" was...apparently less whatever was robbed.  Whatever....


 don't forget about the 10% fee you get charged to bank money,, that has messed up a few people I know when they "thought" they had it, only to not get the achievement.

if you are going for 10T,  take all the money from the you banked and get more properties.  I"m at 600 mil/hour now and it goes much quicker. the only had part is not spending the money

If you can get the money laundering collection, it drops to 7%.

Yeah, it's 7% for me.

But...I thought we all decided that upgrading all your properties wasn't the way to go?  The cost to benefit isn't high enough...

I think I will stick with my original plan.  I'm going to bank it after $1T to get the achievement.  Then I am just going to go on collecting property takes until I finish Moscow AND Bangkok.  Then I will full-on go for the $10T by taking the money back OUT of the bank and doing the boss fight over and over.

Until Las Vegas opens up at which time the $$$ achievements will AGAIN get paused in favor of finishing a city.

In other news...I'm getting SO close on Moscow...second set of jobs in Chapter 2 of the third level of mastery...I am SO ready to be DONE with Moscow!!!!  Being a maniac is really helping.

Anyone else sick of the holiday collections? I know I am... I just never am able to complete them. I always have one item left. (The flag for St. Patricks, the heart tattoo for Valentines day and many many others) I haven't even tried for Easter. Just not worth it.

They have at least started telling you HOW to find the stuff.  They used to not...it was random.  FWIW one of the items always comes from completing the special job...that's how you got the Irish Flag.  Put the items you don't have on your wish list...someone might have extra!

So I don't mind the vaulting, but what I HATE is when they have an achievement for it that I will now NEVER be able to get because I happened to be traveling when the Valentine's job was up so I won't be able to complete the now non-existent job.  THAT is frustrating to me!

 i remember Kido figuring out that he wasn't going to do it... My thought was it will never work to  your benefit, just like buying anything yet no one stops at the first hotel or business and says that's all ... It all comes down to your patience.   Especially now that you have to go in and collect rather than earning outright.  I'd rather be earning 600mil+ and getting somewhere faster than earning 300mil and it taking forever. 

it all comes down to what it's worth to you (or the individual)

I'm sure I'm doing it the wrong way, but I keep going through job levels & mastering to L3 before moving on(as much as possible, if I'm missing something like the cell phone then I keep going). That's why I'm still doing the Consigliere level even though I'm L112 and I haven't even really looked at the Moscow/Cuba/Bangkok jobs.

Well, if the Boss jobs open up you want to start on them ASAP.  When you finish Boss level you get the golden throne which doubles how much energy you get every time period...i.e. instead of 1 every 5' you would get 2 every 5'.  That REALLY helps the rest of the levels go!

I've done a few of the boss missions in NY, but haven't tried any in the other cities.

Has anyone been able to get on to Zynga Poker to get the "pocket rocket" for MW?  I've zero interest in poker, but thought I'd just go over to get the bonus, but keep getting a "page not found."

I completely agree that the holiday collections are annoying! 

I'm really starting to dislike how often I have to ask my mafia for help, ie. upgrading chop shop, helping on jobs, searching for collection items.  I don't like spamming people, yet to play the game, I have to keep asking for help.

I just sent you an Irish Flag.  I can't help with the heart tattoo, since I'm missing that one, too.

I've been working on it off and on.  It takes awhile to move up that many levels.  You only get a lot of points if you win a hand and that's hard!  I think I'm almost through level 4....

Me three.  I'd rather they drop as loot or by doing specific jobs or by building so many cars or whatnot...we could all write into Zynga and tell them!

Welcome to Moscow...this is the end of Chapter 2 of the Sixth Level...and I'm on Level 3 finally.  Hopefully 3-4 jobs left after this and I'm done with that darn city forever!

Bangkok seems to move much faster...if you can keep up with the satellite phones!  I'm going with the horizontal approach in Bangkok so that hopefully I can move as far as possible without the phones and keep slowly chugging away at the phone jobs.

Also of note...you need one of the other old NY consumables for Bangkok I noticed...can't remember which one, but I need to remember so that I don't keep giving them away!

Thank you.

Moscow is the reason I switched to Maniac and started throwing skill points at my energy amount.  I was trying to keep it low to help with the $$$ achievements, but there was just no way to progress through Moscow without lots and lots of energy.  I finally have a high enough energy to go 24 hours without logging in and not lose points, so I'm temporarily switching back to attack/defense and pretty soon I need to throw more at Stamina since it's now actually USEFUL (for robbing).

I'm around level 320 and have ~990 in energy. I don't think I really should push it much higher as I am starting to get smoked by people at the same level with less mafia during fights.

Underboss and boss was bad... but this is just ridiculous

Yeah, when I was level 320 I think I only had about 500 or so energy.

I like to keep 2x my energy in Attack/Defense.  When I get back up to that I will start throwing it into stamina instead.
