[ex-player opinion]:
I find it hilarious that people keep complaining on KA or anything else when the biggest joke here is the amount of number of families up at the time resets are forced to come.
If you still prefer to blame the game for not being balanced at this point than looking at own mistakes, it's your choice but there won't be much more changes from now on.

(This is nothing but my personal opinion, as an ex-player. Don't assume it as a dev opinion)
[dev-speaking]:
We did our job, we give you tools and at the moment KA is not even defender neither attacker friendly, it's account strength friendly.
We are organizing a meeting today, I will give you more details on IRC global message.

Wars are a bit too short and always lead to a 'genocide' where everyone gets slaughtered. The game doesn't offer enough protection to survive, both in KA and items.
Killing someone should be extremely hard, killing entire families with 50 brugs even harder. We have to move on from the idea that 1 war simply whipes out a entire family.

I feel like omerta atm is really good features wise but the now the playerbase is lacking. Not even 2 months after reset and only 27 families up, it's like the version is almost closed with 2 wars. Get back players it'a a fun game!
I feel like hiring Kcode was the best thing omerta has ever done, I think I haven't seen so much progress in so few time before in omerta.

I don't totally agree with you, the game offer enough protection from killing, if the ratio is 1:1 or 1.5:1, you can easily survive 2 attacks straight with a decent account, the problem here is that you will never survive a 5:1 or 6:1 ratio, that is up to players to end with that. No one ever survives to such a big amount of attackers, and if they did, KA would be broken and forcing bigger wars, at the moment, what is lacking is the proud of an action instead of a "don't care how to, but it was done" mentality, of families wanting to win versions so much that they end up with 10 families at end.
In my time, that wasn't considered a win and nobody would win respect for that, but seems it is working like that lately.
We have been working hard to give you the tools to show you that organizated families can do more than huge amounts of unorganized families, as soon people start to understand that, many mentalities will change.
The fact that it's way easier now to know who is successor (Capos, Don regime only or TOP) makes it easier to send a family down, and it was proven that famless people is way weaker (Yes, that was our objective). This makes re-rank a lot more reward as you can easily take down a big family with couple brugs with decent accounts, the gap to stay #1 and to re-rank now is way shorter, there are no more unkillable accounts but don't think you are going to hurt much if you didn't take care of your account.
I admit, and we are already working on it, that the major issue for now is the duping and the Obay DC's price, we have found a solution for both and it will be taken care still during next week.
The rest, game is in a very good status both for rewarding active and good players but also for 2nd's and 3rd opportunities. The time has passed and I understand some people just got used to "Reset game, please!" and there... You have it. But I also tell you, when I was a player, the versions I won were won in 2nd's or 3rd's rounds, never ever I've seen a version being won on 1 round, but nowadays people just quit too fast and hoping for a reset.
We're not going to reset that soon, learn how to deal with it.

I've hired roughly 80,000 detectives, all for 5 hours this Tuesday night. I can imagine some people went even more ham on the detectives screen. I can't say it wasn't fun, but considering that there are detective agency raid spots I understand it's something they'll have to fix eventually.

Props to kcode for a seemingly fun KA. Monday night it seemed for a time that it was buggy, but it's just different from how it used to work. Once you figure out how it works it seems quite nice. I still see a lot of buggyness all over, and like detectives costing $1 or $10,000, it was fun but still a lot of work to be done for devs.
ps. I think a major factor in this war was played out by attacking families that didn't change their BG setup and didn't ask around to monday night shooting families about the new ka.

re. def bodyguards dying when you shoot - i can confirm this bug still exists (as of 1 or 2 days ago). According to KCode it has been fixed 2 weeks ago (it got reported again today).
I'm guessing this also means att/def swap in general hasn't been fixed yet. I still haven't seen any specific statement from KCode about it.

I want to add that Veronica talked to Brando about this 'bug' that att/def points were swapped. Here was his reaction :

Anyway, complete refactored and recalculated KA is coming. Very sad to see the hard working going on after the frustration that came for both of us.
I believe, better and stable days are coming. The hard work is done and complete, there was a lot of big remakes in background completed which will provide all of us less worries about "short fixes that last 1 version".
As I discussed with a player, timing was not good, unfortunely, I couldn't do more.
We have new developer ready for the version mainteance, so, as I said, better and stable days are coming.
Enjoy

In case you didn't see, there is a new level on business tree (lvl 11):
11 Allow own members to fake raid own family spots - $75m
---
The delay is there because people complained of constant game changes, this is made so we do a final big change and let people get used to system and learn the strategies.
We're no longer giving deadlines, a news post will be live in Omerta when patch is LIVE.

I am sorry to announce it won't be patched today.
We decided to change protection payments as well and so lookup prices to allow low profit spots to survive better and that made us change the values and some stuff on unlockables system.
That is an easy workaround that is been done but I expected to finish and test yesterday if nothing had to be changed since I wouldn't be working today because its my birthday.
I'm sorry again for the delay, I'm back tomorrow with full motivation and time that we made you used with :D

Smaller fams with years of experience and being around will be fucked in the anus (with a little sand on it) now..
Why are they fucked?
If you are short family, you go into crusher first + hammer and make sure you have a strong Godfather.
Your 10 brugs will have a way bigger average strength than other families and so will your don regime.
This is made to favor organized families, big or small.
A small family decently organized can still be stronger than a big family with no organization.
Your reaction is based on misunderstanding the system.
We're actually rewarding organized small families, so small families with experience actually just got stronger.
Now, make sure you have a timing for everything, if you are small you will be stronger in short time but obviously surpassed by bigger families in long time.

after the first war your fam drops in strenght even if you wins it.
so after one big war the fam get weaken?
and the build up take ages?
why should this be better for wars ?

so it count for both, thats why its also that pricey, and easier to get an instant GF this way.
Though.. you might want to reconsider, the more regime strenght you have, the more powerful you and your members in the regime are.

does GF also need regime strength?
and GF regime strength can be reduced to 750 later on? or its fixed at 2000?
cause it dont see anything about regime strength in Don unlockables

I guess you didn't read the first balance patch.
This follows 3 balance patches:
- Point system (1/3)
- Decina system and FAmily unlockables (2/3)
- KA (3/3).
To talk about #2, read #1.

1 family rank = 1 credit
But you can use that credit to get next level of an unlockable group or to start a new one at any time.

The cash is/was in user's pocket.
Capo money is a simple regist of money he made.
That regist is lost if he loses his job.

I am sorry for the situation.
If you think I am not fair for both sides, I will let you know that some shootings are getting more than 80,000 bullets back in backfire.
Among other issues, so this is better situation than a rollback.
The issue shouldn't be here at all, but this is the best of the worst situation.
Once again,
Sorry.

Right now, you can't raid any spots owned by "real" fams because of the 12 hour bug (this spot was recently obtained blah blah) (pls correct me if I'm wrong).
My best guess is that's the case because they haven't figured out how to solve this problem (where to take the money from) either xD
I could be totally wrong ofc.
Anonymous at 15:49:16 on 04/07:
I dont understand the spots.
Lets say there is a spot with 100 million profit..any money that is earned goes straight into the pocket of the owner.
But if he banks all his cash..where does the money come from when someone raids a spot and steals lets say 5 million?

That is not the problem, the plan is already made and everything was thinked about before we even start coding.
Problem at the moment is that we've been fixing other issues around the game, so we make sure everything is stable and no game-breaking bug stays or is created.
So mostly, things are only going live with a huge amount of tests before.
Pretty much, working hard on making this version the best in the last years, smooth and clean. :)
Related to spots, the raid owners will get raided from their pocket, if they are stolen until they reach 0$ or 0% protection their spot is closed or under "bankrupt" or under "out of business".
Both means the spots remains closed by 2 days and the capo can't be capodecina (in case he was, he gets demoted to Bruglione), also the spot doesn't give any profit (since it's closed) and the capo doesn't get capo money/rp.
This is values will accumulate, meaning that per times a capo fails to keep their business up they will get +1 day of spot closed.

It is capped by rank.
So no, you didn't see a 120M raid! :P
Only in Bruglione you will have no cap.
Also, don't forget that money is not INSERTED into the game, it's already there, just transferred, opposed to MOC's or OC's.

whaddup with those fam colors? it looks like playing mario or tetris wut wut
It's the color that corresponds to the family in the City Maps.
So easier to identify a family by color when you see it on map if you already know it from Stats.
But I'll change it from name to others because white colors are not ok.
30-06 And the first family is...

Casinos will run in the hand of Local Mob until a family runs it.
Which later you can raid the same spot with all casinos profits from reset till there.
While casino are in the hands of Local Mob:
The casinos will always have a set max bet of 1/20 of the current profit.
The casinos will close for 2 days if they hit -1M. After they will reopen again with same rules.
I never said, "we are done". I've said that with the current major version (4.1) and presented game style, nothing more will change like it was changed in this version (big major changes).
I am sure that there are still lots of things missing and some to be removed, but that's what we've been doing in the background, the so awaited remake.
What I am saying now, is that as my personal opinion, I can't understand the blame on KA and my post was relative to that.
If you don't die easy when you get outnumbered by 5:1 it means or KA is broken or you are a very strong account (Which we managed to see, couple nice accounts surviving and throwing back).
