Agency Wars

[spawn12345]

Just came out

Looks like an Mafia kind of game. Downloaded the $3 version to have access to all the features :p, There is a lite version also

You can connect it to facebook so I think they have an app there as well?

Very nicely designed, looks great and is lots of fun if you are into that kind of games.

Lite version: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=303401746&mt=8

Is it like iMob where the more friends you have, the stronger you are? If so, I will definitely pass.

[CandyNJ66]

I have the lite version but I actually think it's kinda cool. It's something different for a change.

Please add me 3136

[Rhino]

add me - 3152

[CandyNJ66]

I added everyone on this thread :):D

[CandyNJ66]

I saw your invitations come up but when I go back into the game, I see no contacts. I guess I would have to get the paid version?

Is anyone on the lite version and actually SEES contacts?

Edit:Nevermind, I have a contact and I was invited to a joint mission with 3 other spies. I was successful in my mission. Yes!

[VoodooVyper]

Is it like iMob where the more friends you have, the stronger you are? If so, I will definitely pass.

Well?

[CandyNJ66]

Well?

For some missions you need people, your contacts to start the missions but your friends do not make you stronger as is my knowledge.

It is nothing like imob etc. Download the lite version for yourself. :)

[CandyNJ66]

I liked Agency Wars so much I got the premium one with 20 points. It's really fun and very interesting. I love the multiplayer games where you can invite or be invited to a Joint Mission. Sometimes the missions are not successes cuz one person who fails can screw it up for the whole group lol.

I would recommend the Free version or the other premium version. I like being a spy and working for the CIA. I notice some are working for other agencies like the KGB and so forth. Cool stuff.

Edit:
I forgot you have a map where if you buy a passport (it protects you from being assasssinated), you can travel to London and far off countries.

[Mr. Charley]

Removed code...
Enough contacts. :)

So, are attribute points redistributable? I leveled up and after putting the points to where I want them, they don't lock in. Is it just like that temporarily?

I'm a little wary of dumping money in this just yet. Mafia R/R showed a lot of promise only to be completely broken by something as simple as property pricing.

Still though, this is a pretty damned snazzy app and it definitely bears watching. The joint missions are awesome. Boy, it is tempting though.

[hkiphone]

So, are attribute points redistributable? I leveled up and after putting the points to where I want them, they don't lock in. Is it just like that temporarily?

Certainly seems like it! Strange... more in line with Keanu Reeves suddenly downloading new skills to dodge bullets, rather than a specialist trained in firearms only. I'm wondering it it will cause too much micromanagement to put all points into Accuracy for doing missions; redist them to Intelligence to regenerate the energy points asap, and turn them into defensive Speed and Dexterity before I go to bed (and reduce the chance of losing fights overnight...)

Also, how much benefit is the shooting training? It's a nice change of scenery, my my statstical attack potential is 7, but what does that really mean? Adding points to attack attributes doesn't increase by 7.... :confused:

[inferi22]

how u add contacts

Looks pretty good. Add me please.

[Gohtq]

I'm 5848 add me

[Hell_Gamer98]

Arrrrrgh I got killed by a noob who dealt me 216 damage!:mad:
Seems like he've bought very much points..... Why is it all about money making? Why can't they give us an app without these damn points where all players have a fair chance?
Or atleast they could make the points more expenive so the buyer would think twice before he buy the points...

Sgn disappointed me very much. First, they released mafia r/r and now they've released agency wars without fixing the bugs in mafia r/r.(I think they haven't.)
Seems like they just want to make some quick cash, and after mafia r/r downloads has gone back they released a copy of mafia r/r- agency wars. Very disappointing. Not with me Sgn!

[Hatteras]

I can only find the Lite version...Can someone link me the full one?

I got killed twice by someone when i was sleeping but I got them back! ;)

I have noticed that too until I bought a gun from a fellow agent that does 10 damage now all my fights, I use that awesome gun instead of the knife.

It choose the weapon that does the most damage. The intel required is based on the level of your opponent. If you're level 4 and you fight level 1, it will cost 4 intel, if they are level 2, it will cost 3 intel, if they are level 3 it will cost 2 and if level 3, it will cost 1.

btw my code is 3747 if anyone wants to add.

[CandyNJ66]

I suck at this game.

You can get better! I'm at level 9! Do hits on people to up your levels, use your skill points you acquire carefully. You can travel to other countries on the map too to do missions :)

We should do a joint mission together!

We will sometime...I haven't gotten into this game yet lol. You might have to help me :p.

But yeah, I always do hits on people and lose. I'm like 6/6 now..haha.

[Mr. Charley]

So other than the extra points you get from the paid version, are there any other differences?

yeah i do that too but i win more often cuz of my weapon. Like in the mafia games, you have to wait a minute or so for your health and other stats to go back up.

*This is the FREE Lite version, download any of the premium versions starting at $1.99 to unlock all the features in World of Spycraft.*

I don't know exactly what the unlocked features ARE to be honest. I have Agency Wars 20 for $2.99

when I had the lite version, I could participate in missions and in joint missions with other people. I didn't try to travel in the lite version so not sure about that.

Where are you travelling to? Is that an option for certain missions?
Basically, what does travelling do? :)

[CandyNJ66]

I have never had to travel for a mission, I just wanted to travel on my own to do missions in other countries. You click on the globe, then you see a map, I started off I think in washington, then you can click on a dot on the map, Los Angeles, to the right are dots for other countries like England and China. You will be charged for a passport, then you it says you are now in that country. You can then pick missions in those countries and plan joint missions.

I was in Bejing last night doing missions :)

It doesn't literally show you traveling but it just tells you that you have arrived :)

[Brazilian Rider]

Slow the download bar is with this one...

Can't... Wait... Much... LONGER!

Hi MrCharley,
Seems from what Candy's saying is the paid versions allow you to do missions from other countries rather than just in your own hometown (UK for MI6 or Beijing for MSS). However I would imagine that the difficulties and rewards are going to be similar.
Can anyone else confirm what other changes are involved with paid versions?

I really like the joint missions. It's good to see the status of your fellow colleagues doing their jobs, and wondering if they'll succeed or not!

[M.W.]

A very clever layout to a game like this, actually requires some decision rather than clicking a button.

Yeah somewhat. Okay so I'm ditching the buggy iMafia and it's crap dev. Started playing the lite version. Seems cool so far. Doubtful I'll be willing to dump a lot of time into another game like this though, but we'll see.

The only thing I don't like is having to invite random people as contacts so you meet the reqs to do a mission. That's not half bad I suppose though, it could be worse.

Also, I wish there was a way of seeing what you are selling to agents. This could be a way of generating income by selling higher level items to lower levels dolts who don't know better. Except you never know whether or not your item sells.

It's not that bad. At least it's not required for fighting. And even on easy missions, it's not always guaranteed you'll win.
I quite like this one, as the joint missions adds something new, as does the inter-agent market. But I agree there could be more done there to show details of your sale items (what's listed, and who bought it).
Other small issues I would like to see in an update are:

1) able to skip the intro automatically. Only afew secs but I want to dive in immediately :p
2) fixing the crash that happens 99% of the times when I try to to view the black market.
3) ability I clear the newsreel at the bottom. Often shows old news.
4) a step up from knives to swords and sabres. It looks pathetic to wield a "pocket razor" against an M10 rifle of equal damage rating!!!
5) able to purchase body armour against other agents?
6) some way to identify which agents in the attack list are your friends
7) add a Back button for all screens
8) allow another scan of available hit targets, because all I see are level1 players that will cost me 13 intel pts and little cash loot. But maybe that's unlocked in premium versions.... I'll report back on this once I've upgraded.

Btw, just got my first assassination! This guy (hoochiemama) p*ssed me off by whacking me twice, so I relentlessly jabbed him with my knife until he died! I hope he learnt his lesson! (I also got more cash from him too!)

[spawn12345]

Anyone know how the missions work? easy medium hard? the 3 different choices?

Is it easier to do the hard missions if youe higher lvl or have a better weapon in those 3 choices? I dont get it :confused:

[Hell_Gamer98]

deleted it. Too many cheaters.

Anyone else experiancing that this game drains the battery ALOT?
I log in play for 5-10 min and my battery goes down by 5% :eek:

So yea best way to set out skills for killing people?...

well I had 38 gs and came back to 10! you can't stop it sadly.

I set my strength, accuracy and speed up as high as I can personally

[Br3tty]

i guess it helps keep the economy beter, unlike that mafia game wit teh property problem

[Chops420]

I gotta ask about the battery usage too... this game drains my battery really fast. I'm trying to understand this but this game has no 3D graphics and is pretty much a web browser with a custom interface. Everything you do in the game makes a connection back to the server but does that really drain the battery that much??

Of all the games like this (Mafia R&R, Mafia Live!, etc.) - there are actually some nice gameplay elements here. I like the multiple people on a mission and the no bank is an interesting twist but the battery usage combined with the wait times between each click are killing this game.

That being said it is a free game so what do you expect - I can't see this one really taking off but maybe it will open the door for a game like this that actually works.

Hey Guys,

Shawn here from SGN, I'm the Producer / Game Designer for this product. I'm convinced that a well voiced community helps make games better, so thats why I'm here. After reading your suggestions I will move forward with app updates to make this game more enjoyable to everyone. Expect an update soon, adding Traps and other new features. Traps are bombs you can place in real-world locations that hurt enemy players (uses your GPS to get the real-world location).

We hope you enjoy the game, we will be updating soon. All feedback is appreciated.

Right here is fine too ;)

Sometimes I find it annoying when people ask me to be in join missions when I'm in the middle of one. Is there a way that you could make an option to have an "away" on or a way to block requests? That would be great!

I really dig Agency Wars! It's not mafia thank goodness and It's awesome to be a spy :) heh

I'll see what can be done about adding an 'away' feature in the 2.0 update.

I'll see what can be done about adding an 'away' feature in the 2.0 update.

welcome to TouchArcade!
I agree with the "Away" flag as I've tried to invite people, but they reject and soon realize that it's annoying if they're doing something else.
Probably the biggest change for me would be showing a target list that is in line with your attack level. All I see are level 1 players costing me 15 intel pts to attack.
Anyway I've given afew there suggestions in an earlier post on this thread. Hope you can accomodate as many as you can. Cheers!

[Chops420]

One thing about hits that bugs me is it always shows you really low level people. I'm level 21 so 99% of the hits I see cost too much intel - I should be seeing much higher levels in that list.

[Steverd]

My energy has been at 11 for a while now.
How do I increase it? I've put attributes points into Intelligence, but it seems to have no effect.

Does each level up increase the energy by one point?

If your energy is at 11 that means you are only level 2. Each time you level you gain 1 energy point.

Intelligence only assists on refreshing spent energy points. Not to increase it, which as the dev said only accumulates by levelling up.

im going to try lite version first before picking this one up (should i like it)
right now, im content with imafia :D

I like how it changes the outcome each time, sometimes the right thing now fails me! It adds an element of challenge so you don't just memorize all the missions.
Also, the joint missions were a fantastic idea: everybody has to win and then you get a huge bonus, very creative.
I am trying to stop myself from spending $10 on 250 points.

[CandyNJ66]

I see what you mean. Some of them have the same CORRECT choices a lot but a lot of them do change which makes me annoyed cuz I always think I know the correct way to kill someone.

Cool, I'm gonna play fieldrunners to get better :D

I also bought the 20pts one. The only real difference seems to be Maps, allowing you to go to different cities and doing the missions there. Where you see the globe icon on top left corner in Lite version is replaced by Map in paid version.
When you travel, you are offered option to buy a passport. It seems to me that it offers you immunity from assassination attempts. I bought one on way home to Beijing and will see if it does prevent me from getting hit by these noobs who paid $20 to buy a super nuke gun that dishes out 400+ HP damage.
As for choices, there does seem to be a set answer, but does have a small random possibility of failure. Very interesting. I've mostly use the knife attacks (90%), and never the bombs. Dunno if I need to upgrade the weapon or attributes to make it more successful.
Candy, sorry for messing up that mission between us! I'm not usually such a failure!!!! :p

no no, it's fine :) They change up on us so you can never tell if a choice is gonna be successful, hence the challenge. :)

Here's a hint for you guys:

You should probably choose the scenario that uses the best item you have. If your highest damage item is a gun, you might do better when you choose the Gun scenario. Just a tip...

What I've noticed is... Missions usually have one choice that will give bonus award if you carry out the mission as planned. For example, if the mission asks for a silent assassination, it's probably best not to use a bomb :), and it will probably give you bonus cash/exp if you succeed with a knife.

[Chops420]

the fight system seems like a complete mystery with regards to how the numbers get calculated... for example.

Me (lv. 30):
12 - strength
12 - dexterity
41 - accuracy
12 - speed
using a G37 @ 38 damage

Them (lv. 25):
unknown stats
using a silencer bomb @ 13-19 damage


I take 31 damage and they take 29 - something seems wrong here. That weapon they use is really low level but yet they do just enough damage to kill me. I can understand if they stacked their stats all in dexterity but how is my gun only doing 29 damage when I have 41 points in accuracy.

I lose way too much money in fights where I'm losing by 1 or 2 points to very low levels with terrible weapons.

This is most likely because the user you are fighting has upgraded his/her attributes. If the user you're fighting has placed many points into Speed (Resists firearm damage) and many points into Dexterity (Increases explosive damage) then the above scenario makes sense.

How about this scenario..

Fight lost.

I received 24 damage.
They received 49 damage.

I can't win even when I do more damage...

Fight results are calculated by who does a higher % of damage. So if the enemy had far more HP than you (or you were not at full HP), it is possible the enemy brought you to a lower % of HP than you brought him.

This is the most balanced way to calculate fights, as it takes into account total HP and damage dealt. We are constantly analyzing features in the game to adjust for balance, so if this feature becomes an issue we will change accordingly.

Aw shit that explains A LOT. Because I was losing so much money overnight I would run myself down to 0 health and then when I wanted to fight I would add only 20-30 health (just enough to fight).

Hi unisonsports, thanks for the great game!

Can anything be done about crashes? I re-started the phone after install, but the game still crashes every 30 minutes or so. This is the only problem I have, really. Other than this, the game is awesome!

Hi RebelXT, are these crashes occurring after logging into Facebook Connect?

[RebelXT]

I did not connect the app to facebook. The crashes seem to be random, i.e. blackmarket, missions. I just re-start the app when this happens. Not sure if this could be memory utilization issue, but all other apps work fine.

[RebelXT]

unisonsports, FYI: i've just upgraded from free version, and the app no longer crashes. So the problem might be just with the free version.

edit: I spoke too soon. just crashed on black market screen

[Mr. Charley]

I'm thinking of actually putting money into this app as I'm really enjoying it.
Quick question: I imagine it's a new icon and therefore a new app. Will I lose my character info or is it safe to assume it's on the server and as long as I put in the same name, I'm good to go?

I'm also being told if you have a lot of memory being used by the phone (like if you have multiple safari windows open) this might affect it.

Also, are you playing on a 3g generation 2 iphone or generation 1? And what version firmware are you running on your iPhone / iPod?

Hey Charley, you will not lose anything if you upgrade, everything is stored serverside.

[M.W.]

This game is pretty rock solid with fighting and missions. It has a catch to everything! I also like the point system, you can't just pile all your points on your gun because, as well as it being gun damage it also does your ability to do something else, so you have to have points in most everything.
It is a very addicting game.
It is virtually hacker proof and keeps you from just blowing all the level 1's out of the water with your intel.
This game is one of the most well crafted Mob games on the app store, except for when you attack a level 1, only to figure out they spent $40 on some insane gun that kills all. The bonus guns are virtually an "I Win" button.

anyone else having issues at the moment? It's barely possible to fight.. it says "loading fight", and then "you are not online", even though eventually a fight does seem to happen, but you don't see the result. But the bigger issue is that all of my stats are getting rolled back periodically. I.e. I got to level 8 20 minutes ago and flew to Washington, then I got rolled back to level 7 and ended up in London. This has happened twice in the last 30 minutes..

Three new things:
1) Missions are not automatically done. There is a multiple choice of gun, knife or bomb attack. There's a trend to the jobs but you're not always guaranteed to succeed.

2) Joint missions are very cool. Earnings and EXP are greater, but ALL spies have to be successful. The more spies playing same mission the higher the risk and rewards! They don't have to be friends, just find them in same city.

3) paid versions allow you to roam to other cities to do other jobs there too. They are similar to your home city in the Lite version, but different scenarios. Roughly ten jobs per city, and ten cities.

[currymutton]

Got the lite version on Sunday, play a couple of singles and a couple on associated. Really don't get the "gaming" part -- I think I would not catch myself into some mechanism based on "filling out multiple choices". :confused:

To flesh it out abit more, your chances of success are determined by several factors such as task difficulty, your level, skill attributes and choice of weapon and it's power. There is also a small random chance involved too. Eg. I succeed on Beijing's Clone Wars task 95% of the time using knife, which I specialize in, but not always win.
It's a wordy game, quite similar to the old adventure gamebooks, and it requires imagination on the player to visualize. If not the game can degenerate into something like a Multiple choice exam, Ie. Not fun. I'm liking it slot so far and paid $2.99 for the cheapest paid version, unlocking several cities. Was just abit bummed that some punk has added me to his htlist and now stalks me, killing in one shot to steal my cash.

Unisonsports: is there anyway to remove myself from this harassment??? Even if I bought a passport to avoid assassination, I still get pilfered by him! (called "Cleric")

Unfortunately the only advice I can give is level up high enough so that you can beat him. I have no idea why a player would randomly stalk someone unless they knew the person, maybe they recognize your code name? I will however like to add that Passports are currently being improved upon, the details of this are still 'classified'.

On that note, SGN takes harassment very seriously, and all instances of harassment should be reported to help@sgn.com. Killing players over and over is typically not considered to be 'harassment' unless other factors are involved (i.e. threatening messages).

He's 20lvls lower than me, so he only uses 1intel pt to lay a shot or two on me and add to his kill tally. Others might take 8+ intel points. And because I'm on his hitlist he can attack each time he's online. Maybe I need to do the opposite and REDUCE my EXP buildup, so he overtakes me and thus I'll become more "expensive" for him to attack! Haha

[currymutton]

No intention to bash-and-trash. May be my expectation has gone to the wrong direction, thinking it may be something like Uplink which requires more skills (aka mini-games) than simply "lobbying".

[hkiphone]

Unisonsports:
Your help@sgn.com email is not working, got bounced back when I tried sending from two acounts.
I seem to have lost all knives and bombs. Even the basic non-removable ones are missing. It's affected my mission performance. Can you please rectify this asap as I had bought two very good knives (game currency)

EDIT: they're all back now. Really could have done with the best knife some time ago because I squandered lots of energy points doing jobs dependent on them.

No offense taken! :) These games can evolve into something more proactive, and your suggestion should give some food for thought to the developers, who has responded directly here.

[Sierra275]

in my humble opinion, there are far too many of these games around. give my something with any fighting mechanic, turn based or real time, and then i'll consider.

[Mr. Charley]

^^^ Thanks for your humble opinion, please feel free to read those threads then.....

Anyways, back on topic.
Another question for the developer regarding gameplay.
Do I only need one gun, one knife and one bomb in my inventory? Or am I supposed to have a gun for every "contact" I have ala other mob wars style games?
Basically, I want to know can I put all my money and resources into the best weapon for each class or is it better to have multiple of the same weapons.
Stated another way: More guns is better or 1 great gun? :)

From what I can tell, I think you just need one knife, bomb and gun for the missions. The results of the choice you make is partly affected by the quality of the weapon. I had a $41k knife that won me 90% of the Beijing Clone Wars job, but when I lost it through a bug, it kept losing that mission.
I don't think you need to accumulate weapons for anyone else.

[Mr. Charley]

Thanks.

[RebelXT]

What's going on with the game today?

My exp/level jumps up and down.. i.e. i'm level 21 with 13xx exp, then one click later i'm level 19, then level 20 in a minute. The same is happening to health.. I.e. you can heal up to full, then a few seconds later you are back to where health was a minute ago (noone attacked you it seems).

It sounds like some replication issues between servers.

Fighting is broken again as well ("You are not Online", "We can't connect to the server" errors).

Anyone else having similar issues today?

Unlike the many mob games, more weapons do not help your contacts. The weapons are only used by yourself, so you should spend money on buying multiple classes of weapons (so you have better odds of doing maximum damage).

unisonsports,

It appears that fights take 40-50 seconds. So the app times out long before it gets a response from the server. Is this being looked into by developers?

I'm not currently experiencing these issues. This could be caused by a slow internet connection on your end (poor reception on EDGE network).

Just to make sure, I'm having our server team look into this to verify our servers are running with optimal bandwidth.

After you install the new version (in your case, the 20 point version) launch that app. When that is launched it automatically adds points to your account (must be online for this). When you go to HQ -> Agency Rewards, your point quantities are displayed at the top of the window.

Buy better weapons as they're unlocked after levelling up. They boost your chances of success at missions.
Heal yourself so you won't lose during fights.
Travel to other cities to do more missions (paid versions only)

unisonsports, looking forward to update. This game has a great chance to outgrow Mafia Live and other similar games!

I'd like to request a couple of things which should help you grow user community:

1. FAQ page on the website with some basic info on fights, missions, stats, etc.
2. Message board (even a free one like google/yahoo groups would work)
3. Give us some insight what the roadmap for the game is like (you already gave some hints which is great)

btw, I'm so glad Agency Wars doesn't have passive income (like real estate).

Touch owners are ALWAYS supported, in fact we spent an extreme amount of resources to develop this game so that users can play Offline (for Touch users without Wifi), and still keep the game balanced. The feature we are releasing this week is specific to GPS, so because the Touch lacks this feature, they are not supported. Touch users can still play the game just as before, and new features are currently being developed that support all platforms.

[unisonsports]

Keep in mind, "GPS" via wifi is not accurate, there is a 1000-3000 feet accuracy falloff for that. The feature we are releasing that utilizes GPS is not a core component to the game, and lacking this feature will not limit gameplay or functionality to anyone. This is just a little extra bonus to those with GPS.

Along side of this, we are also including bug fixes, and a more stable client. We are also developing new features that DO affect core functionality of the game, these features are available to both iPod and iPhone users. I'm really excited about these new features, they will be implemented later this month. Some of the features include: New items, New item types (not just weapons), double-agent status and more.

Thank you for your response. I greatly appreciate it.
In fact, I was not aware that I could play the game offline in terms of still being able to accomplish missions (just not joint). This means I don't have to go find wi-fi every day on my break from work! :) Just that in itself has brought me back on board with the game.

If I may bother you with another question:
Attack Potential.
It seems yesterday I was at 61 after playing the gun shooting mini game, and today, I'm back at 0. Do I need to play this mini game daily (and multiple times) or is it a glitch?

Playing the Training Mini-Game increases your attack potential for a short period of time (I believe this is 1 hour), so it is best to play the training game before each play session.

Interesting, very interesting.....
Maybe I should have pm'd you my question so everyone else wasn't aware of it! :p

[Spizzel]

so Im still a little confused about winning/losing a fight. From what a previous poster said, the win/loss is based on the overall % of damage done relative to your current HP?

so basiclly if i ever fought with say 30 HP aginst a player who say had 50, and i hit for 25 and he even hit for 16, he would win, even though i did 9 more damage? Seeing as how I only hit for 50% of his current HP and he hit me for like 54% or w/e?

sorry if this is a nub question but im just looking for some clarification because I have had fights where i will demolish ppl in terms of damage exchanged yet i still lose (i will only receive 12 dmg and they receive like 30).

Also, is there a way to not have to fight only lvl ones when fighting? it seems like all i ever see is lvl ones, in turn costing lost of points to fight. I will even go to the most wanted section and see ppl the same lvl as me yet when i go to the regular fighting button its still all lvl ones.

this game is the best out of all these mafia type rpg's by far. If the slow down issues were fixed i would pay some good money for this app. Until then I will stay with the lite version. But once the lag/slowdowns get fixed I will def be sinking some money into this game!!!:D:D:D

Dexterity lowers the damage you receive from both Bombs and Knives.

[unisonsports]

so Im still a little confused about winning/losing a fight. From what a previous poster said, the win/loss is based on the overall % of damage done relative to your current HP?

so basiclly if i ever fought with say 30 HP aginst a player who say had 50, and i hit for 25 and he even hit for 16, he would win, even though i did 9 more damage? Seeing as how I only hit for 50% of his current HP and he hit me for like 54% or w/e?

sorry if this is a nub question but im just looking for some clarification because I have had fights where i will demolish ppl in terms of damage exchanged yet i still lose (i will only receive 12 dmg and they receive like 30).

Also, is there a way to not have to fight only lvl ones when fighting? it seems like all i ever see is lvl ones, in turn costing lost of points to fight. I will even go to the most wanted section and see ppl the same lvl as me yet when i go to the regular fighting button its still all lvl ones.

this game is the best out of all these mafia type rpg's by far. If the slow down issues were fixed i would pay some good money for this app. Until then I will stay with the lite version. But once the lag/slowdowns get fixed I will def be sinking some money into this game!!!:D:D:D

To answer your first question, yes. The player to inflict the highest % of damage wins, this includes if you are already damaged from a previous fight (So you should heal before fighting).

The list of players that is displayed is controlled by the server, right now it is displaying users in random order, I am currently updating this so that it displays users +- 5 levels of yourself.

Lag is always going to be somewhat of an issue if you are playing on 3G or Edge, as no matter how fast our servers are, your download speeds are limited. Lag experienced during wifi however is currently being investigated by our server guys, and we have already purchased new servers (they will be implemented in the next few days).

I am annoyed as much as anyone else with logging on to find that I've been killed in one or two shots and lost a good chunk of my money.

I have figured out a solution to the problem, but not a great one: Before logging off, buy the most expensive weapon you can afford with all of your money.

Unless there's a way to lose weapons that I am not aware of, this should prevent any major money loss as you won't have any upon being killed and you won't lose any spare weapons you've bought when killed. Unfortunately, the drawback is that you will lose half of your money selling the weapons back to the Black Market when you need money. This could be potentially mitigated somewhat by selling the spare weapons to other users, but that is risky due to the time factor involved.

Still, I'd much rather lose half my money to the Black Market than lose the money by having it stolen by other players. Seems to me that having money would only encourage others to kill you in order to get it.

I do hope a better solution is given to us in later updates, but for now, this is the one I'm using. However, if anyone else has a better solution, I'd love to hear it. :)

[Mr. Charley]

The thing is people don't necessarily attack you for the money, as they have no way of knowing how much you have....
I'm just happy when I fight and win....I can deal with losing when I'm not there, but I hate losing when I actually initiate it! ;)
It's like shooting myself in the foot! Doh!

oh, that is why I keep losing. I was confused on what purpouse it served.

Hmmm... that sounds like a nice little exploit to keep your money, going to have to patch that now :P

As for a solution to being killed, my best advice is to buy better weapons. The best defense is a good offense, in this case. Also keep in mind, its a general rule of game design: people have more fun when they have less money, VS when they have so much money they don't know what to do with it. We will work on ways to help protect your money, but at some point money has to be lost by someone for someone else to win it.

Quick question,

Do we ever use all the weapons we have at our disposal? For example, if i own 3 different guns that do 3 different levels of damage, is it ok to sell the ones that do less damage and keep the one that does the most and still maintain my same attack/offensive damage potential?

[hkiphone]

From my experience of dying overnight, it seems my killers are those who bought the expensive paid versions to have agency pts and buy a sniper gun or better, one-shot kills. And even tho I have over 800HP, it's run down in 5 shots despite spending over 100pts on Speed to reduce firepower damage by 76%. When I see their stats, it's clear to me they are not in it for the money (what could they buy that's better than a 200HP damage gun??) but for fame - climbing up the Top Agent leaderboards.

Nonetheless, I also buy weapons with left over pocket money so I lose the least amount. Not so bothered about my death stat now, as there's nothing I can do about it.

Unisonsports: any chance of better weapons after level25? There's nothing we can use to compete fairly against the super weapons.

Absolutely, new items (and different classes of items) are currently being developed for release 2.0

unison, would you be able to answer this? :)

[Br3tty]

I just got jacked for about 40g, if they are below u in lvl but have the same points as u to win, they can slowly win, and only do small amounts of damage takin 5g each fight, for only 1 intel point because of there lower lvl, and soo u wake up, ur not killed only lost a quater of ur life, but 40g!!!

Yes seems that way. Oh only ever use one weapons, so no point keeping multiple guns (unless you want to hoard them as assets not cash, since theclatter can be stolen from you! Haha)

[M.W.]

I think I found a cheater! He is on my hitlist, and seems to go up 10 levels every few minutes! I don't see how this is possible. His name is keysersoze, he was at level 72 a few minutes ago and now level 82! How is he doing this?

I would go up a level in only a few minutes by doing missions and fights but 10 in a few mins? Wow...Maybe he has one of those weapons that does massive amounts of damage and has done 10 fights or missions or a combination in those mins? He also might have spent the cash to get loads of skill points and has built himself up so strong that it's way easy for him to go up levels in missions/hits. I really don't know. Weird...

[M.W.]

Does your weapon (bomb, knife, gun) effect the outcome of your mission? And is it safe just to have one really good bomb/knife/gun and none of the other classes?

Off topic; but, it would be cool to have
Missions that follow current events.

I just don't see how you switch from mission screen to hit screen back and forth and find all the agents you need to fight and regain health, intel, and energy fast enough; you would have to invest a lot of money into this game.

That would be a devotion.


Edit: he is powered up. He has the auto nuke cannon, and my 221 damage gun only did 36 damage to him and he hit me with 336 damage from his 250 damage gun.

Yes..I really am curious as to how he/she does it.

Edit: Could it be a beta tester?

[spawn12345]

Well I have stopped playing.. Its impossible to make any money with all the people that bought points and steal it all all the time.

No fun at all

Guys, I finally got my revenge!!! "G3ddy" kept killing me with his super weapon and pissed me off. Now he's finally on level130 way above me (lvl72) so he won't waste intel pts hitting me. So just to slap him, I attacked him on my hitlist and of course lost, but did 81HP damage anyway. I kept doing it and noticed that his level increased after each hit by me.

--> This would explain why he could level up do fast! He just has to hit someone on higher level, or be hit by someone and still win, in order to level up PER HIT!

I also saw someone called "469" who increased by 100lvls overnight!

Anyway, to respond to Spawn12345, I kept attacking that G3ddy guy while always healing (the lower your money, the less it costs to fully heal!) and eventually knocked his HP down low enough to actually win battles! You see, the winner is determined by the percentage loss per battle. Ie. My 81HP damage must have inflicted more than the % damage he did on me. And as I won, I levelled up per round. I also got cash too, around $1500 per hit as opposed to only losing $80 when I lost rounds. So not only did I get a kill stat, I got over $10k AND levelled up by 10lvls, enough attribute pts to have 80% damage reduction against his gun!

Revenge is sweet!!!!! :D

[Spizzel]

I think i speak for everyone here when i say TYVM unisonsports for all the tips and listening to the feedback of the users. Even after switching to this from iMafia there was some confusing points. Tyvm for clarifying the battle system and the matchmaking as far as choosing oppents, i see the light now :)

now that i have sat down and played this for a good bit of time i have some suggestions to maybe think about...

-Any protection aginst these guys with these super weapons (especially at the low lvls!)? As i mentioned before i had a couple friends who were playing this with me, they have since quit because you just get wtfpwnd by these guys with super weapons all the time. Im sticking with it, but i can see ALOT of ppl passing on this app just because of this. *edit* also these guys steal MASSIVE ammounts of money from you. Even if im the one starting the fight, i lose, BAM $5,000 gone. It makes you not want to use the pvp system because if you have bad luck, you can lose soooo much money just from even trying to fight. (not to mention they one shot ALL yout HP, then forcing you to spend money to heal back up)

-Any way to store money for when your sleeping/not playing? Yeah if i initiate the fight and lose money i can deal with that (even aginst super weapon guys >_>) but when im sleeping, and i get hit a few times and lose ALL the money i worked hard for the previous day, VERY fustrating.

-Anyway to boot afk players after completing a joint mission? Sooooooo many times have i grouped up with like say 3 other ppl, start the mission, pick my choice then get stuck at the confirmation/waiting status page on one single person. Seeing as how the stauts is still "waiting on other players" none of us get credit for the fight because some guy is afk forever. I understand stopping and reading the mission and choices and all, but ive sat in that screen for up to 15 mins waiting on a single person to succeed/fail.

all in all, this has AMAZING potential. Like i said before, even try to fix some of the above things and i would gladly fork over some dough for this game (even more than 2.99) for a basic full version. Awesome app imo.

TLDR:
awesome app, still has a few kinks to work out, and would gladly pay some decent money for this app!

[Mr. Charley]

I'm thinking I may just reset my character and start again.
Knowing what I know, I may have a better chance to level up strategically and take advantage of some of the newbies! :)

I'm just thinking about it..... ;)

But you needn't worry, you'll be way higher than me so I won't be able to attack you, though I don't really attack my contacts, I'm cool like that. :)

I've already reset twice.. It's much more fun to fight and level now that I know how everything works.

[Mr. Charley]

I've already reset twice.. It's much more fun to fight and level now that I know how everything works.

Yup, I think I'm really gonna do it.
I keep telling myself to push that reset button but something keeps holding me back. I'm in the level 50's now and it just kind of hurts to lose all that progression but hey, this game has been out for what....3 days now? I'll be back up to level 50 in no time...especially when I take advantage of my new found knowledge.
Definitely for me the best of the mob wars games to date....

Yeah I was up to level 70+ when I reset ;-) But it was hard to find people to fight. It's actually way too easy to level up in this game. For that reason I no longer do jobs.

Yep, man! I re-set yesterday in the afternoon, and I'm back up to level 14 now just fighting. just want to keep it casual for now (coming from Mafia Live which requires constant attention due to passive income from real estate).

Wouldn't you say that Agency Wars requires more constant attention because there is no constant income?
I left iMafia for a few days and came back to billions of dollars. You won't be coming back to any money in Agency Wars if you don't play it....

That's true for now until new updates. I hadn't thought about it like that unless the dev can comment on this. Not unless you sell your guns.

That's what I really like about Agency Wars. You can take a break from it for a few hours or the whole night, and since there is no passive income, there is no need to log on every hour to try and bank it before others attack and still the money.. You don't level up if you don't play, so you can still stay competitive within your level range. Just my $0.02.

[Spizzel]

update: UGH, it was fun while it lasted but im done with this game. the ammount of people with these super weapons is insane. Im getting one shot every other fight and getting massive ammounts of money taken from me, then I also have to sink money into healing after each time i get one shot'd. Then I go to try and fight again, one shot, again. There is no way to tell either if these ppl have these super weapons, and it just ruins it for me. at first it was tolerable here and there but these weapons are just too too broken right now.

:( it was fun while it lasted i suppose.

The weapons aren't broken. People are paying a PREMIUM to have them, and it's only a very small percentage, at least from my experience, and they become less relevant at later levels when you level up your own attributes. Also, here's a tip, if you keep getting killed at your level, don't heal, just STAY in the hospital and they can't touch you while you have only a small amount of health...while at this state, just keep doing missions to level up/recoup your money and when you are leveled up and have enough money, then heal/go find people to attack. It takes a LONG time for health to recover, so you're safe for at least a few hours, enough for your energy to keep recovering and for you to keep doing missions to level up.

You can't just blame it on those few who have super weapons, just because if you keep healing only to get attacked again, you're the one dangling yourself out there for them, especially if they have you hitlisted so that they are always able to attack you...

well, yes they are paying for a premium version but to let them have something so powerfull is stupid. Its something that ruins it for other users. But the thing is, I shouldnt have to go 'hide' in the hospital and do a few missions every other hour. I enjoy the going out and fighting other people part. Its cool to go and do missions, then go and fight while i wait for my energy to go up. Its less downtime, with your tip i can only play for a few mins every few hours, and with the whole hiding in hospital thing i dont get to fight ppl.

And to mention the hitlist, if your one of the ppl who has a super weapon you just non stop attack someone that you know doesnt have one. every single day you can bank off them. Bottom line it just puts WAY too much power into the hands of ppl who have these. And again, yes i know they have a premium version but Im a paying customer too. Just cause I dont have 20 dollars to sink into an app doesnt mean i should have any less fun than someone who does. also, about the lvl thing, its a problem no matter what lvl you are. It even gets worse it seems because the ppl with the super weapons lvl fast. It was a issue when i was lvl 3 and its an issue when im lvl 50.

The game is still very young. Balance is my main priority and we are doing everything we can to balance the game, and yet provide value to those who are willing to purchase a premium version.

When the next tier of items are released, you should expect to see more balance. These will be released soon, however I cannot give an exact date.

How about addressing the battery drain?

This game drains my battery faster than anything else I have and I've reviewed close to 200 apps for the iPhone so far.
