I think I'm going to skip Bangkok after I finish Moscow & head into Vegas next.  I'll double back later, in the meantime I'll just keep piling up baht.

Vegas is addictive ........ 2 tiers through the first district.  1 tier through the second.  I am fighting like crazy there and getting a bunch of vegas bucks then spending them on inventory to beef up for jobs.

And I'm into the second Chapter of Assasin round 4.  Didn't have to buy a ridiclous amount of stuff for two of the jobs so I will be able to knock them out!

I'm liking the game again.

My internet is currently not fast enough for me to enjoy Vegas.  I'm still a bit confused on what to do.  And I can't believe you can only ask for parts for your casino ONCE per day for only ONE property.  That will take forever!!!!!

I had to swap over to fight path on the first district because I could not figure out how to get more of those car key things.  I think maybe they were dropping on another job, but unlike previous cities they don't show you which job loots what.

So, I'm still confused.

I'll probably keep working on Bangkok with the odd foray into Vegas to gnat's butt my energy before level up and slowly work on the casino to get Vegas dollars.  And when I get stuck in Bangkok unable to do a job due to Baht or whatnot.  I guess it's the same way I started Bangkok once upon a time....

As for Bangkok...I'm on Level 4 of 5A.  5B/6/7 are all at various stages of Level 2.  5B and 6 are stuck on satellite phones.  Level 7 is stuck on Baht because I want to finish Level 4 first and I'm saving up my Baht for whatever I have to buy there.  I'm sure I'll progress along on the other levels once I finish 4 and can sell off my stuff.

I'll keep an eye on it for the higher levels.  It would just be nice if when you clicked  it would tell you where to go to get it.

I finished the first level of the first district...it opened the second district, but didn't reset all of the first district to be done again?  I'll have to look later....I'm really just poking around in Vegas enough to get started while I finish Bangkok.

That is a little glitch.  It should still highlight the first job as "Do Job" on the first district.  Then it will clear out the others once you start and go to different screens.

People have gotten wise and are getting rid of their vegas cash before others can attack them.  After hitting a windfall and getting over 500k from one person I have not gotten much from fighting in Vegas.

Yeah, people usually figure that out within a few days of a city opening.  I hardly ever get any Baht from fighting in Bangkok anymore.  I only fight to get my health below 20 and stick to robbing otherwise.  Though, fighting does drop some good loot these days....

I'll check out what jobs are highlighted....

Yeah since currently my vault can only hold 200,000 first thing I do when I go in is fight till my health is under 20, collect all money and do jobs, then spend the money on inventory items needed for all the levels. Have everythng bought up through round 4 second tier, working on buying items  for round 5 now second tier.

Does anyone know about the sixth episode in vegas, mine never unlocked after I went through the first five, plus it doesn't appear that there is any type of property that I need to collect yet for my casino.

You guys are making a lot more progress than me!  My fault only holds $100k and it isn't even full!  But I'm not using up too much energy in Vegas yet...just what's leftover after I do Bangkok jobs.  And I haven't converted all of my chips over yet...from what I can tell my racks of chips are safe from attack until I open them!  So I only open when necessary.

Wouldn't it be nice if the bank/vault paid interest?

I'm not sure  "get" Vegas yet.  Is there any difference between completing the fight, energy or social paths?  I've been doing strictly energy so far since I've got a ton of that.  Almost done with level 2.

I lucked into a "not using satellite phones" loop this morning!  I probably managed to do a job requiring phones about 10 times without using any phones...I hope the glitch is still there when I get home!  I was out of energy so I had to stop...but hopefully I will luck out again tonight!!!  Crossing my fingers!   It was weird...it clearly shows you need satellite phones for the job...but when I completed the job it didn't show them in the "things you used" area...

Not really.  Each path gets you to the fight at the end.  In order to complete the entire tier you must do them all anyway, so it really doesn't matter what order you do them in.

Where I am now getting stuck is that I am up to tier 3 (Gold Star) in level 1 and  tier 2 (silver star) in level 2-4.  I can't beat the bosses at the end of levels 2-4 to level up to tier 3.  They are kicking my butt!

 

ETA:  Oh and I keep running out of money in vegas.  I get attacked constantly and my vault is maxed out.  I was able to upgrade my vault to $800K today so I hope that helps so that I can buy the items to finish some of these jobs as they keeping getting more and more expensive.

You know, the ONE feature I miss from NY/Cuba is having all the jobs open at once!  So you could use your extra cash to buy stuff when you had it...not only when the next job opens up!

As for losing all your Vegas dollars...just make sure you close out of FB completely with your health under 20 and you won't lose a thing.  As SOON as you log in to FB go in and fight your health under 20...then keep it under 20 the entire time you are logged in, and close out with it under 20.

I do realize this is a pain in the booty since you need SOME health to fight Vegas bosses and level up, but you can cross those bridges independently....for day to day playing, keep the health under 20!

OK, so to really finish up each level you need to do all the paths?  Energy, fight and social?  Instead of doing each tier 3-4 times like in other MW cities, you have to complete each path?

I have been able to fight the bosses by using stun guns.  When you use a stun gun, you get a free shot at the boss without him attacking you.  I just use back-to-back stun guns, so the boss never has the opportunity to attack me.

I have finished all four stars of district 1.  I am on the fourth round of district 2 and I am working through the second level of district 3 and the first level of district 1.

I haven't had to vault any money, since I make sure to fight my health down to under 20 right away when I open MW.  If I have a boss to fight, I go to Cuba or Moscow to pay to regenerate my health and then take on the boss.  Today, I stole about 300,000 vegas chips from someone who hadn't fought their way down or vaulted their money.

I do a couple of things...  First, I will fight till health is sub 20 then do my jobs and collect my chips...  THEN I basically spend all of them.  You can look ahead at what you will need to buy for future jobs and pre-buy them.  I have entire levels that I have all the items needed, but waiting for the energy to do the jobs.  I may not be able to buy all of the items for a future job, but chip away at it by getting a portion of them.

If I make a big score while fighting (I took almost 600k of chips from someone once), I will spend it AS FAST AS I CAN, since it's too much to vault.  Even if your health isn't below 20, but close, they can only get you a couple times before it is, and not get too much money from them.

As for the bosses, I like the stun gun as well...  You get a free hit on them.

If you kill the boss, it opens up the DISTRICT (Kill the boss in North Las Vegas and it opens Paradise City).  You have to finish all all paths (social, fight, and energy) to open up the next TIER that District...  ie I had to complete all paths in the level 1 Tier in NLV, to open up Tier 2.  I'm currently trying to finish Tier 4 in NLV, Tier 3 in Paradise City, etc.

I have all districts open except for the last one, which is odd, because I DID kill the boss in Level (District 5) and it didn't open up.  Maybe they are not ready for it yet.

One thing I don't really understand...  Why people will attack me over and over in a fight when they don't win anything...

If I fight someone, and get chips/money, I will attack them again until it's not profitable or they die...  But I will get drained from 360 health down to less than 20 when someone will attack me over and over but they don't get any money or anything.  I wonder why?  What do they get out of it?

If I attack and win, but there is no money to be gained, I just find another target...

I've definitely done this when I was close to leveling up and didn't have enough energy to do a job.

but I am not much of a fighter.... I think my win vs. loss is about -2000 fights.
