What does Heat do in Parallel Mafia Game?
Anyone knows what the use of Heat is and what it does. I have not cleared with the Heat on this game. So can anyone rectify what is heat on this game? I have also seen the guide of this game but I have not found anything. I have found when heat meter goes high I am not able to do anything like can’t work, any job etc… so anyone explain what is this?

i really like hitting the heat bar but now I can't open my items menu/inventory by hitting that same area anymore. Maybe make it do both? Open inventory, and display heat timer...?? Lots of players have been complaining about this in chat. Some have even gone so far as to say it "ruined the game". Bit extreme in my opinion but evidently people don't like the change. When your heat meter maxes out you’re not able to do any more jobs until your heat goes down. I think this will ruined the game.

All of my store fronts require heat, cash, and or contraband. None of them return heat. I have 0/7 heat and no way of replenishing it to perform more jobs. I have 5 buildings and none give me heat in return for a job. You get heat from doing jobs. To my knowledge there are no jobs that require heat. Heat is a byproduct of jobs. when in reality it is a heat meter like chance of failing or getting the cops and you want it at 0/7.

Heat is bad, you get heat from doing jobs, and jobs give you anything from cash to items. You lose one heat every half hour. As you level up your max heat will increase. When heat maxed up you either go to a police station to manually lower your heat (haven’t found a police station yet so don't know exactly how it works) or you wait half an hour.

I wouldn't call "heat" bad exactly. Every game needs its balances and limitations, right? Heat just limits you from constantly doing the same jobs over and over again, making rewards less rare. I like the heat bar on this game and I think there nothing wrong with this.

It is time based and the amount of heat that you can handle increases with level. Loading screen says heat goes down 1 point every 30 minutes. If you have Apex guys around when you do a job, you will gain an additional heat for your job. So make sure you eliminate them before you do your job. I have been playing since the servers came up, went down, came up, went down, came up again and my heat has dropped to 0/7 and is NOT increasing at all.
