The KA seems fair. I had a weak account (haven't really played much in this version besides losing money in poker) and got shot by a way better brug without bf-kill even though I had full bg setup with around 50%/50% in att/def. That seemed quite fair, since I shouldn't be able to kill a way stronger account in backfire, if it's shooting with full bg setup. I might have survived, if I had tweaked it a bit against defense, but that's what happens, when you have no idea of how the KA is tweaked.

The stronger accounts in my family survived attacks and backfire, which is fair - a really strong account shouldn't just be a piece of cake to kill, since you then remove the incentives to work for your account. This KA gives an advantage to those willing to spent time working on their account, hence it actually encourage people to do something with their accounts and not just turn on lackeys and then come back 3 weeks later. So if you have worked hard with your account, you will be rewarded. Fair imo.

how is that? with enough money, turning on lackeys(including sluggs) will give you a strong account...
then its all coming down to training bg's.
don't need a lot of time for that

According to admins, then group crimes as well count in the KA, which makes sense, since I might have done 10-15 (incl. heists and raids) in total and was killed without BF.
in which newspost do you read that?
i wouldn't trust admins on irc tho. they told me yesterday killing an assa+ gives KS, when actually it's LC+. i killed an assa... yey

It might be true, that you shouldn't trust, what they say at IRC, but so far it fits quite right with my experience. I had a weak account without any groupcrimes, and it got shot by a stronger account, which survived. It might have been the bullets, but perhaps the lack of groupcrimes was part of it too - only the admins surely knows. So far, I think the KA has turned out according to what I heard/read. It's gonna be interesting to see, if they managed to prevent invincible accounts as they claimed, but to know that it will require, that people actually rerank and not just give up...


do you know your attacker's bg setup ? seems thats rly important.

@anon: ppl get rich by poker or by selling DCs on obay, not by bulletmoney. Besides, no need to be active to get BM.
update your stats regularly does the trick

groupcrimes DO matter :)

But to get enough money as you put it you need to be active. Do Group crimes, show some effort to get some bulletmoney from your fam etc.

Also group crimes do play a part in KA, they said it would in one of the newspost.

They also said that activity having an impact on the KA was removed months if not years ago.
Yet it pops up in the new KA post as a change.


That might also be to clarify it again, you know how those urban legends about how the KA tend to stick. I am sure some people still believe and will believe in the next few version that tiredness is a factor.
Or it could mean, they considered coding it in, but dropped the idea again, because it is just horrible.

Or they never removed it at all and people didnt notice as much since everyone fulltime lackeys thus has a severely tired account most of the time.

Defender friendly..not really.

It's strong account friendly for sure. I have a above average account and so far have had good success against accounts with less RP and alot of less bullets in stock. My friends with average accounts struggled against stronger accounts, failed and died in backfire. This KA really does reward good players with good bodyguards.

Btw, I also have seen some fams complain about getting killed in backfire while they were on 4 attack. Sigh.

I do hope that we get a little more information about what has changed in the newspost.
