Mafia Wars : About Robbing

It's been few days since we have Robbing installed on our game.. I know that few of players still don't have it..
Support team only can suggest you to clear the cache, etc.. old advise.. Gagagaggag

Seems like Robbing is having a weird formula of determining the success and failure of one Robbing.. Nobody knows the exact formula.. even the Stone Diamond Collection give us vault bonus of Improve odds of successful robberies by 10%
So it is odd!

Now talking about the the mastery level of Robbing.. the higher level you are, you have to finish more successfully robberies! Now it's time for us to increase our Stamina..



Sometimes we feel like frustated about one failed robbing.. see their explanation about why did we lose?

Your robbing score is determined by your attack skill plus the combined attack strength of one weapon, armor, and vehicle item for each mafia member that you bring to fight.

And here are 2 screenshots sent by our friend about his failure robberies...





He said "I have no idea how the attack score is being calculated since even when the same equipment is used a different score is generated."

Is it when do one robbing we only bring a certain amount of mafia and each of them bring RANDOM of their item (either their best or any items)???

Also about the Stone Diamond Collection. they are hard to collect! My friend has 600 staminas and he collected none so far from doing robberies.. another mafia has only around 100 staminas and can get one piece of the collection at the first series of robbing.. So, it's random and based on luck..

Well... I guess only the Developer teams know the secret formula of Robbing.. we can only play and play..

Happy burglarizing!!! Aih.. there's a thief!!!


PS : Thanks to Matthew, Coogar & Godly for the screenshots and infos!

It's not that difficult to understand. When you're robbing a warehouse it requires 10 mafia members so 11 BEST equipment is used (10 + you). Also, attack power is calculated by your attack power(i.e. 500)+ equipment combat power(i.e. 5000) that equals 5500. So maybe your friend has increased his attack skill or that's just one of those little pesky bugs?

I was working on breaking the code by collecting data from a lot of robberies and first of all i wanna answer your question. NO, they dont bring random items into a fight. I have no idea how anyone could come up with that thought cuz there is a button called "show items used" and u can clearly see that they bring their best weapons into each robbery. Your combined attack strength of weapons remains the same everytime you rob someone with a mafia of lets say 5...but your robbing score changes each time.Check the following sample values when i robbed two players:

For a mafia size of 2:
my attack strength: 367
his attack strength: 283
my robbing score: 655
his robbing score: 1476

For a mafia size of 3:
my attack strength: 795
his attack strength: 747
my robbing score: 771 (note its lower than my attack strength hmmmm that told me a lot about the formula but later on that...)
his robbing score: 1021

Now you can see that my attack strength was greater each time but my opponent still had a better robbing score.From both these data samples, lets see how much attack skill points add to my score. From the first data value, my attack strength = 367 and robbing score = 655. Hence 655-367=288. I get 288 bonus from my 600 attack skill points. But if u look at the second data, MY ROBBING SCORE IS LESS THAN MY ATTACK STRENGTH. That means something in the calculation subtracted my total attack strength 771-795= -24? So here my 600 skill points add -24 to my attack? This is why. Its based on the difference of skill points between u and ur opponent. If the difference is huge, ur score will be low and perhaps even go negative. Your combined attack strength is always constant though. Iam trying to come up with the exact formula but the problemm is I cant see my opponent's defense points, so i will need to create a few accounts (so that i know their exact skill points)and then it will be easy to build the formula. Anyway i would let u know what i find

the reason the score is different is because a boost was used in the first screen shot and there wasnt one used in the second
