The series of balance reworks aimed to fix the game and bring it to the modern era are being tested on .dm

After a test/tweak period some/all of them will make their way to .com in an upcoming version. (Probably the one after next)

Below is an overview of the most important tweaks being tested and the logic behind them:

Balance update #2: Punish lackeys, bring back kill skill, punish multi-city wars

1. Rank requirements

Ranking is big part of the game and it feels like ranking has become way too easy and too monotone for Lackey-only accounts. We want to add some low limitations to make sure that the account ranking up has put enough effort to deserve the promotion.

Requirements list:
- promotion to Picciotto: 1 Travel
- promotion to Shoplifter: 3 Travels Handgun
- promotion to Pickpocket: 1 Heists Tommygun
- promotion to Thief: 2 Heists 1 Bodyguard Plane
- promotion to Associate: 5 Travels 3 Heists 1 OC 500 bullets
- promotion to Mobster: 10 Travels 5 Heists 1 OC 2 Bodyguard
- promotion to Soldier: Armour (Bulletproof Vest OR Bulletproof Suit)
- promotion to Swindler: 15 Travels 2000 bullets 3 Molotov cocktails
- promotion to Assassin: 20 Travels 10 heists 2 OC 3 Bodyguard
- promotion to Local Chief: 25 Travels 15 heists 1 MOC
- promotion to Chief: 30 Travels 20 heists 3 raids (so family is needed!) 25.000 bullets 5 Bodyguard
- promotion to Bruglione: 25 heists 3 OC 2 MOC 5 raids 60.000 bullets
- promotion to Capodecina: 100% sum of KillSkill and BustSkill
- promotion to: Godfather: 100% of KillSkill OR BustSkill

*Note: These requirements are added on top of the required rank progress.

2. Account Heat

With the removal of "Tiredness", the game reached a very unbalanced state where Lackeys have a free pass to work 24/7 without any limitations. Basically, removing any user that wouldn't use Lackeys from competitive play. We want to enforce fair ranking for everyone and benefit more the active users.

Explanation:
- Each account starts with 0% of Heat (100% max)
- Every crime or illegal action that user does will increase heat (Lackeys gain 20% more heat)
- Heat will increase exponentially once it surpasses 60% - Gambling, Traveling will allow you to lower your Heat.

Changes:
- 48h Online timer is now removed

3. Emergency State

One big war has become the easiest way to attempt to win the game as a family. This kind of meta play gives a big benefit for families that have many allies.
To counter the current meta, we want to allow more families to fight 1v1 or smaller numbers instead of having massive groups of families fighting between themselves.
In case, they decide to still go for the big war, there are several punishments and we want to make the recovery harder.

Explanation:
When families from 3 different cities are involved in a war, the Feds will declare emergency state.

When emergency state is activated the following applies to all families in those cities:
- Nobody can leave family
- Travel times doubles up
- Safehouse cooldown increases from 1 hour to 2 hours
- Detectives will take more time to find people
- Every user can only buy a maximum of 50% of their bullet limit (ex: 100% RF users can only buy 500 bullets per hour)
- All family business (casinos included) will be instantly closed for 7 days (immediately demoting Godfathers and Capodecinas)
- Emergency state will be deactivated after shooting calms down.

Once it's deactivated, everything becomes back to normal except the closed business (those have a cooldown of 7 days since the day emergency state was activated)

*Note: Emergency state is only applied if families between 3 cities shoot each other. Parallel wars are still possible without alarming the Feds.

4. Bring back Killing Skill, Rob and Mia

Account customization has always been part of the game, we want to make sure we can allow more options instead of using the some bodyguards over and over again.

With this, we bring the so beloved Killing Skill and start to give more relevance to Busting Skill.

Explanation:

* Killing Skill and Busting Skill now have direct effect on Kill:
- Killing Skill makes it easier for you to kill someone (100% of Killing Skill gives you extra 50% attack)
- Busting Skill makes it harder for you to be killed (100% of Busting Skill gives you 50% extra defense)
- Killing Skill and Busting Skill are opposite to each other, this means, when you gain 1% of one, you lose 1% of the other - *
* Two new bodyguards are available:
- Rob: Rob's speciality is to give his life for yours. If you are about to die, Rob will jump in front and make sure he dies in your place. You may only buy Rob if you are at least Bruglione and have 100% Busting Skill.
- Mia: Mia's speciality is to make sure you have a right shot at the defender. Mia will kill Rob or the strongest bodyguard of the defender and allow you a clean shot. You may only buy Mia if you are at least Bruglione and have 100% Killing Skill.

Changes:
- Race Form, Busting Skill and Killing Skill will all have more agressive decays
- OC and MOC and Raids now also give Killing Skill:
* Leader gets X% extra RP
* Driver gets X% race form
* WE gets X% killing skill
* EE gets X% jail bust skill (busters can join)
- Kills now give Killing Skill

Tuning from Balance Patch #1 and some Quality of Life changes
The Balance Patch #1 is finally completed but there are some adjustments that we need to make

Changes:
- Downgrade plating to 1st Bruglione plus 48h when Mia/Rob patch is ready
- Numbers Game payout decreased to 7x from 9x
- Numbers Game now rolls from 0 to 9 and 0 is the house number (not possible to bet on)
- Blackjack will use 5 decks instead of 1 deck
- Casinos and Accomodations will be able to be sold on Obay
- Kill page now shows ranks and bullets shot on attempts
- Entering Safehouse will automatically fire all your lackeys
- Safehouse cooldown now displays on Kill page

Hey,

My point of view from a quit reading.

First, I can see the effort, the necessity and the merit of the updates.

However, I think you are missing an important point; This game started with us (the old dinosaurs that are still around) and its dependent on us – since most of the tops from the main fams on omerta are old players.

Thing is, those like me that started to play omerta, a long time ago, most part of us work nowadays and doesn’t have time to a concept where you need to be here ranking 16h a day or busting. The most part of us are the ones that also fund omerta with our real-life money. So where is the solution for us? Will there be a collateral system for us to follow those lifeless that you want to be here ranking?

I mean, since external scripts are banned, and you are trying to reduce lackeys influence, what will be the solution for us? To pay an Indian to rank our acc on team viewer? :D

With all due respect, I don’t think those kids, that can have the time to be here ranking, will have the funds to support omerta, as we do, by spending a bunch of money on DC’s.

Find a system where we can equal them, even if we must pay extra for it.

If not, we’ll have to quit… or end up cheating.

And yes, Omerta has stopped in time and is unable to call new players as in “our times”...so don’t expel the ones that still keep Omerta alive.

Cheers.


Hey Ribatejano

Maybe first the dinosaurs must die until new lifeforms erupt?

+1
And why are these dinosaurs gay and not reproducing?

Good one bruv..

Ive been saying the same thing for almost 2 years now.

The average player age is now 26+ years. Potential new players are not used to the browser style of a clicky game every 1min 45 seconds.

The whole concept of ranking and what matters in this game needs to change to something more modern.

I think Kcode and the dev's know this and are trying change the game every 2 months towards a different type of playstyle.

I just hope they manage to evolve the game before the player base reaches 0 :D

When are we ranking again btw?

"Note: Emergency state is only applied if families between 3 cities shoot each other. Parallel wars are still possible without alarming the Feds. "

isnt this a bit sad for the fams in those 3 cities that doesnt participate in wars? Also, lets say i have 2 fams in different cities and my enemy is at another city, wouldnt these changes turn that war into a gangbang since defending will be really hard with that sh and travel times? attackers will have disadvantages in war and afterwards ofc but for defender its hell.

Here is a hypothetical scenario:

Lets say your enemy.. Lets call them Sipberia have a huge ass fam in your city, lets say its Chicago. And you are lets say a useless family lets call you Colossal.

You go to your bloods three useless families lets call them Guardians, Krays and Motisi and be like:

You: "Hoi bloods this Sipberia be dupescriptsharefucking huge we gotta delete em or we lose"

They: "What you got in mind COVE?"

You: "Uhm, how about i shoot Krays with 1 acc and Motisi shoot me with 1 acc and cause I share city with Sipberia i will demote them all and then Guardians can shoot em with their promoted accounts 1 on 1 cause they will have GF advantage. Can we do that guys?"

They: "Sure, man this is a very good plan."

And then you all get shot by Siberia cause Motisi leaked.


The plan was solid on paper tho..

Too bad those fams do not exist anymore
And cove i think he is too busy with his horse

This changes can not acceptable. Most of us playing with phones and we cant go on anymore.
Maybe really time to quit finally. Sorry to see what happend to this game.

How are the changes stopping your phone usage?

Did you really read all? Did you see the part of lackey heat and active players advantages etc.

No need to buy credits for lackeys anymore, stop playing this game.
It literally says gamble and travel reduce heat.

If logging in about once every 30minutes to travel and maybe play some poker or whatever from time to time is too much for your arthritic hands to handle you shouldn't be playing.

This will only stop fuckturd dupers that rock those "put credits once every 4 days" accounts. Every normal player wont complain at a basic change like this.

Go commit self to wall.
