Attack Live Targets!

Yes yes, I know.. lots of people complaining about the changing on bonus XP we got from fight now.. You can see one thread on Zynga forum discussing about this :

I got many emails regarding this topic..

Johannes said, as everybody noticed the loot droop rate also changed, it seems like they changed the formula to get loot in fights. You won't get any more loot from iced players and if you attack an iced player you won't get more than 2 XP points for that. Also the "rally the troops" isn't working on iced players anymore.

So, You'll only be able to get loot by attacking players that are Alive. You'll not be able to gain any loot from those players that are already Iced.
Hayden has already tried it out with AttackX with some 690 stamina, no single loot drop.
He tried with Brawler with only attack live targets ticked, with 19 stamina used, 2 loot dropped..

Sarah did it using AttackX and this is the result :

And this one from -Red..

Have you noticed the fight XP change? You barely get the x 2 multiplier anymore, nor the 3 XP... maybe in 10 or even 5 % of the cases...

My stats used to be ~2.33 XP/Stamina then it went down and I looked and I mostly got 1/2 xp in the log. I reset my stats and started to log again and now I get a payout of ~1.75 to ~1.8 XP/stamina!

Note that the new Vegas jobs - when you are careful and make sure you win the fight - give out EXACTLY x 2 XP/Stamina which seams to push players "serial levelling" to do Vegas Fight Jobs instead of normal fighting! (I always got a crappy robbing rate personally).

We need to add an "Vegas Auto-fighter" script now :p

(Note: the bad "payout" is because MWAP doesn't seem to "avoid" players with whom you have fought and lost, so if my Vegas bank is full, and there's only one person to attack in the "current available list", it will keep attacking the same person... lame...)

I don't know what happen.. is it only a temporary bug?

We know that Zynga is well known with this kind of glitch if they want to add one feature or event..

If this is premanent, why they don't give any explaination? Hmmm, according to Al Catraz - Super Moderator on the thread above : "Its just bad luck (appears to be really bad luck) over a smallish sample."

We have another opinion from our friend, Klas..

The lower exp and zero loot only happens when u fight iced or dead players.
I did a test with brawler and only attacked live players (takes time and annoying but wth)
did 460 attacks.
now i got 2.18 exp/stamina and 7.5% loot..

Its a little lower then normal but that is because brawler thinks sometimes that a target is alive,
but then another player kills him and when brawler attack the target, it is already dead so sometimes i attack iced/dead players
that gives lower exp and zero loot chance on that attack.

Good point of view, mate!

Lots of people back to do Robbing now because of this changing.. if you still want to do some fights, you can attack live targets only now to have your bonus of XP and fight loots..

PS : Thanks a lot to -Red!, Johannes, Hayden, Klas, Ben, Sarah Wilson A.K.A Little_Tiger and Davo for the infos..
