yes you can, you get the kill message on your rebirth

you cant see who killed u..

idd right now a WS doesnt make sense anyway since u can just see who killed u after rebirth
hoping this will be fixed soon as well :)

Also there is a bug currently that shows you who killed you in the ingame message..atleast it was there a few days ago.

Anyway, anonymous killing would add a nice little twist to the game:) . Not a game-changer but a decent idea.

Just bring rob back!!! u can bring mia too if u want... but bring rob back, and some other bg. I cant remember a better version than 3.0

Here I have a simple solution. If certain families aren't up in the game and we all know what ones we are talking about... Reset the version. Shit reset it three times a week if needed. Anybody who believes it isn't the player base ruining the game is in for a rude awakening. There can only be one don barafranca not 15 don barafrancas. It's going to take a lot more then just an old fag like me to make an account and play like I used to. Sorry to be the bad guy folks. But fuck ur skank omerta wife in the ass. Fuck ur fag Irc channels cause ur bored go read a book ur ruining the game. I blame the players for forgetting its a 1930s Italian mafia nerd mmorpg. Fuck this shit bout making accounts because of "people". This is why we have large pacts playing musical chairs and brain dead lackey accounts made with no strategy or purpose for becoming the next don barafranca themselves. morherfuckers got to wake up from basing and play with some balls!

new roles, would be nice, like assassin can kill without WS, Tank someone that can tank shots for others, like instead of shooting the don the tank jumps in and you shoot the tank, tanks have greater chance to survive attempts. and than you have maybe something with suppressionfire, instead of doing an killattempt this one can block backfire for 1 try or a set amount of hrs.

Don't misunderstand me.

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).

I would like to see the end of Joe's special to give out 100% WS.
Giving out WS is bad enough as it is (should be a % chance based on maybe a new stat like Sneak, that can be built up like KS by doing pickpoketing or that type of thing).
So the better your Sneak the less chance you have of being caught with a WS.

I like the idea of sneak attacks and letting the rumours fly, people hitting back at the wrong targets etc.

(more realistic in my opinion as mafia hits are not always claimed by a family)

I never really thought about that double backfire option but it indeed seems to be kinda useless, nobody shoots 40-59k since you'll get 60k back anyway. I didn't really get the 'personalize and different roles in family part' and would like you to explain that a bit to me but I think going to Brando is not really the way to go. He never really seemed to pick up ideas.

Perhaps it would be better if guys such as KCode would do an hour chat/question/idea session once per 2 or 3 days and get in touch with the community that way.

The more I think about it the more I like the declaring war option. Something artificial has to be done to stop the mass-wars and massblooding.

Also a option to kill someone without Witness Statement would be nice. It could create some false rumours, the more drama the btter:) .

For example, you just click a button before you press Kill..you pay 10 million(could depend on target) and if the kill succeeds there is no WS sent out..offcourse if you fail you are in big trouble.

Thing that I said is that admins are as much to blame as players are for massblooding and working in large groups. Admins forced down this play style to players, cause it was only way to win or survive. This wont go as simple as ''Oh we changed KA all is fine now, stop masblooding and if you keep doing so it's your own fault and you destroy the game''. No, things don't work that way. It's up to devs to give players options to play different than massblooding and still be able to feel safe, have fun and have chance at winning version.

I saw some stuff K-Code did (probably all) and honestly I liked it and it's a move in good direction for game, but this game needs more changes and it needs it fast. Game needs to become more dynamic, more diverse and more interesting for players. There needs to be more different ways to build account, more bodyguards and more itemization.

I said it before and I will say it again, most toxic thing about this game is double backfire, that thing right there is fucking up wars and making them all be same. Type in 60k and wait for outcome, and everyone who shoots less than 60k is absolute moron cause 60k is only way to have same shot at your target. Remove that and you might see less outnumbering, and more tactic into play.
Find way to include whole family as union into game and wars, and knowing how to use your family right in war (as in having plan, organization and execution) you actually have great shot at fighting war alone 1v1. Find way to give family chance to outplay other family 1on1 easier than it is now and in long run massive gang bangs will be gone. Give enough ''tools'' to repel massive backshooting for families that carefully plan their moves and problem of massblooding will solve itself in time.

This problem wont disappear in a version or two, same as it didn't become main problem in a version or two, but if you give enough ways to single family and single players to keep playing this problem will solve itself.

Oh and main problem with re-ranking is that people who killed you only grow stronger while you're set back significantly. Way to solve this is to make it possible to personalize accounts and give each account different role into family. This right here will solve every problem game has atm imo. It will make possible to fight wars 1on1, it will make possible to win wars 1on1 and it will give chance to everyone to re-rank and revenge on their killers. Just make it possible for 2-3 accounts (even lower ranks) work on killing some high Brug/CD together without preshooting.
Bringing different bodyguards into game with way to build them according to your needs/plans was good idea, but it's time to expand it...

While I played I offered many ideas, same as many other people did to Brando himself. Brando was just never really interested into listening them. He would say put them on x-mind and send em to me, which I would actually do if I thought he cared a tiny bit.

stop talking stupid things...all problems can be resolve very simple

1.new anticheat tool for dupes
2.put limit price to obay
3.remove ks and just keep it simple..dosnt matter how many people you kill...this the most stupid thing in the world.

well maybe something like wartimers, when lets say 5 people shoot a fam it counts as in war for the next dnk 10 hrs, for every other fam that joins the war in that timeframe the defenders get a boost in account strength. With this, the more fams shoot, the stronger the accounts of the ones who are outnumbered. Ohterwise i see as only other solution that doesn't need brando or an developer, that we as player base, make our own rules, maybe tournaments and such things beside ranking and doing war.

KCode never said he stopped working and is sitting back now. He was pointing out that a good KA was developed and that the KA is no reason for a short version. It's the families rather than the developers that destroy the game right now. In short: People have been complaining about the admins and developers messing up, they can't be blamed for it anymore. It's time for players to look into a mirror.


Next to that, I realise you've been away for some time but KCode has done a hell of a job, doing several upgrades to the game. Upgrades that matter and that do make the game more fun to play for sure. New upgrades and development are still needed but that's what he and other people can brainstorm about. What will the next development be?

I really hope next version or even this version, families will start playing 'on their own'. I would have no problems having to shoot families I know if we'd both solo for the win. No hard feelings if one of the two dies, it's just a game.

This quote says a lot if not all about the game philosophy. It's what has been plaguing Omerta for years now.

'We did everything right, it's the playerbase their fault!'
'All cheaters have been akilled, game is script free' (while I was staring at a DB with over 300 active scripters)
'We won't reset the game', to reset it it 3 weeks later an have all those who reranked with their balls. On multiple occasions.
'This captcha (the flash one) will make scripting impossible', while the ocr had exactly 35s of downtime.
etc etc ...
eternal self confidence ...

Points being:

A) If you know that mass blooding is part of the game, and despite game changes it doesn't play out the way you wanted, then perhaps the tools that you have created aren't as effective/good as you think they are ... maybe you should not blame the playerbase but look at the core design of the game, and come up with rules to discourage mass blooding. Plenty of suggestions have been made over the course of many years.

B) The reason why people don't rerank is not the mass blooding, it's because you reset the game every time. Why on earth would someone put effort into reranking if there have been 10 or more occasions where that turned out to be to no avail because the game would reset several weeks later?

I guarantee you, if you announce a timeframe where you guarantee that the game won't be reset, say from 1 september 2013 till march 1st 2014, no matter what, that plenty of people will rerank to take revenge. By resetting the game (and breaking your word in the past), the crew took away many desire and opportunities for revenge.

TLDR: the crew fucked up on many occassions in the past, and lost the faith of the playerbase. By creating some fancy tools that faith won't come back overnight.

You can replace Rob..

I played 3.0 very actively. With all the new items back then it took around 180,000 to 240,000k bullets to kill a account.

Now the average is around...60,000.

Numbers speak for themselves.

That coincided with those massblooding gangbang stuff.
KCode has a point. If families like Gravano or now Faffie do massblood stuff you have short versions. That's the problem with player mentality.

If you face 5 to 1 or 7 to 1 odds Rob makes no difference whatsoever, you survive 1 more shot. That's about it.

Mobile/facebook is planned for newmerta. Also when That is out they want to advertise the game
You cant blame them for that. Now the game Aint worth advertising

Lack of lackey credits contribute massively to the lack of activity after you get killed. They are too expensive and the only people who can afford them are the Brug+ that did survive the wars.

Also people like to play this game because their friends 's play this game. Being a part of a family is a big factor for people to re-rank or not.

If you ask me this game does not have a long future. It's clearly over-the-hill and will never return to 2.1-like activity. I mean..where is Brando hanging out? I look at his FB page and his last post was July 18th..since then he dissapeared.

His lack of care for this game probably means he isnt really dependant on the income generated by Omerta, he was other companies too.


Maybe Omerta needs to invest more in the mobile and tablet market. They were working on some Android/Iphone app but havent heard of it in months.

If we could download a real application that for example sends you a push-up message when you get shot ingame or get a ingame message or a Heist invitation..that would help make it more active. People dont want to sit behind a destkop or even laptop to play games anymore. We want to play games lying on the couch.
