Jobs: Do I or Do I Not?
October 17, 2009 by OpinionHead · Leave a Comment
One of the most important things that I have learned, and learned the hard way, is that doing “Jobs/Missions” or what ever the game may call them, can be a good way to get a little cash to buy properties and a few weapons, but, and this is the key point, if you rely on doing jobs to move up your levels too fast, you leave behind the players that are not, and those are the players that you can beat!
What I am trying to say is, if you move up too fast, you will not have the properties and weapons that the more patient players have, and they will be able to beat you every time in a fight/battle. When I started playing, I thought that you gained some sort of benefit when you went up a level, but you don’t, all you do is put yourself in a position where you have no weapons to match the other players at that level! In other words, I was getting my ass handed to me every time!
So, my advice to any new player is to be patient, invest in properties and let your cash grow, only purchase the “expensive” weapons when you have enough income, not only to cover the cost of the weapons, but to maintain that income and be able to buy more weapons! Maybe it is just me, but I assumed that you had to have enough properties, or income, to cover the regular deductions of those weapons, but you do not! I was getting beat by a level 40 ish player that had like 400 Rocket lauchers and Cannons and such, I had only been playing a few hours and had gotten to the same level but I had like 20 Rocket launchers etc! I was basically screwed! I had no way to grow, all of my cash was being harvested if I even went to sleep, I was losing my mind!
I hope that my mistakes can help someone else avoid making them, remember, BE PATIENT and move up in Rank slowly!

Just in case there is someone that doesnt know, OpinionHead, fat_madman, and 140Gamerz are all the same person, me, as is stated in the above post, when I first started, I was very impatient, watching the timers and energy levels and so on, so that I could move up levels, that in part is how I ended up playing with 3 nicknames, now, on this site, I am using them to test settings and so on, so don't get confused.
I do want to add something to what is written previously, unless you are a spastic, crazy, want it all now, kind of person, I do not advise playing with more than one account!
Here's another suggestion. Save up your money so that you can buy properties in lots of 10. This is the cheapest way to do it since every time you buy one the cost goes up.

I agree, but in the beginning, scraping and saving just to buy 1 is tough, once you have an income, save up and do as is suggested or you are wasting your cash! What I do, or try to do, is first thing after being away from the game for a few hours, like when I was sleeping, I buy as much property as I can, in lots of 10, and then buy weapons, if I buy weapons first, I always end up a few thousand bucks short on my property purchase.
