October Give Away - 4 Winners!

Yep, it's a bit frustrating for like an hour..
Italy was suddenly down and we can not send Vegas items..!

You can saw it back to "Coming Soon".
And we had this again...


Hold on, I think they only wanted to install the new MultiGifting feature to everyone!
Now, Italy is back and we have the new MultiGifting installed! (not sure for all players or not, but I had it on my account).
What a relief!

Thanks for the quick info, Linus!
Enjoy Italy..

Coming Soon - Halloween Loots In The Marketplace

Just saw this on the official blog of Mafia Wars!

HALLOWEEN LOOT


Link :
http://blog.mafiawars.com/2010/10/halloween-loot.html


What?
No more Halloween event???

I suggest that they add one event for the upcoming Halloween! Not just selling things in the Marketplace... Just another waste of our precious Reward Points!
Perhaps they should add this as the replace of Super Pignatas.. or make it as one special featured job!
Oh geez... hope they won't disappointed us this Halloween!

"Go To The Job" Button

Ok, got one info from Sidhu..
This is so helpful instead of going through jobs and remember which district the item is located at..

Here are the screenshots..







Yes, it's useful!
Instead of looking for which districts that give the "consumables", we can just click on the "Go to the job" button and start looting the item!
Thanks for the heads up, Sidhu!


Only a small info for today.. I got to go outside with my family...
Have a great weekend!

Mafia Wars - Zynga Customer Support

This screenshot is sent by one of my best mafia.. He likes to remain as anonymous..
Thank you sharing..


Please check the reply from Zynga Customer Support about his issue when he submitted one ticket..
He had some problems on his Mafia Wars account.. but please read what the Support person answered.




They simply copy-paste the answer for every email! Gotcha!
Wait, they have different Customer Support for each games, right?
Can not imagine if the same Support team has to answer all complains, questions etc for all of Zynga's games!


Forgot to report that we have the Super Duper Pignatas again (and again). Feel free to send and accept more if you have not got the Super item of Gray Wolf yet!

Ok, enough for today... Feel my eyes are so heavy already...
Once again, have a great weekend all!

Weird Gifting Page

I don't know why I have this weird page on my sub account..
I grabbed one Secret Stash and on another tab I also try to send gifts to my mafia.. It took me to this page..


It is a Gifting page but also has the page of my Home tab!
What a weird one..

I can still send the gifts.. but I think it's better if I close this page and open a new one.. in case the gifts gone to nowhere!

Just another story of my Mafia Wars game..

Vegas Rare Collections - Dropping From Jobs

Forgot to post about this.. This is start happening last week..
We can get Vegas Collections dropping from doing jobs.. and they are not the common ones.. we can also got the rare collections!

On the screenshot below, I am using RepeatJob Vegas tool from Spockholm.. Got 2x Planet Bollywood which is one of the RARE collection item in Vegas!
This one got 1x of the RARE Saguaro..


And one of our friend, JS, sent me the screenshot.. He spent lots of Energy and do 1200 jobs in Vegas. Let's see what he got here..

Lots of Planet Bollywood collections, Saguaro, Mountain Lion, but no Four of A Kind! (Perhaps this collection is dropping from another job?)


The conclusion is now that the drop rate of these rare collections is good.. You can find it dropping easily, specially if you have tons of Energy!
So everybody is happy now and able to vault all collections!
Have a nice day!


PS : Thanks to JS for the screenshot!

Limited Time Offer

Ahh, I hate this pop up!

Got this one twice today when I click on the Home page tab..



Yeah, it's a reminder or a suggestion for you to buy more Reward Points to increase your Loyaly Points.. so then you are able to upgrade your membership in Loyalty Points Program!

Still, lots of friends complaining to see why they don't get the upgrade membership although they have bough some Reward Points. They are hoping to see the bar meter raising and they got the congratulations message!
But nope... they just have to wait and wait...

Now, if you want to buy some Reward Points, please just do that and don't pay attention on the bar meter.. otherwise you will be attempted to buy more and more and still wondering when the new level comes!

That's it about this Limited Time Offer.. hope you can use the Reward Points wisely..

No Gifting?

I have just checked on my account... No loot is giftable at the moment!
If you go to your Inventory page, you can not see add to wishlist button, nor sending as gift!

I quickly go to my Gifting page and can only see these items..

You still can send the Collection items but not the loots! (well, you can still send the loot items as long as your friends put them on the wishlist.. also you can use Wishlist Adder to put them on..)

I wonder what's wrong with Zynga now???
Is it because of the Italy? Or do they made all loot items NON giftable now? Or is it just happening to "traders"?
Because some of players can still send!

Well, all I can say that this is the worst glitch of all!
All trading groups and forums are being closed at the moment due to this bug!

Hope to see the improvement soon!

Pint Of Stout & The Daily Take Bugs!

One friend still got this annoying bug.. when he opened his Mystery Bag, he got this 

Dublin has over! We don't need this item, Zynga! 

And today, I click on the Daily Take link on the Daily Checklist... see what I got then.

It's nothing!

I am a daily player and got nothing for my daily take..

This is an old issue, but some players still has this bug.. They can not vault these collections!

I also notice that the Release Notes feature has stop from being updated... don't know why..

But I guess Zynga team is busy on mobile web, or else..

Hope these kind of bugs will be eliminated soon..

Hey Ade,

Haven't submitted anything for a while now.

But today it was chance to win 20 loyalty points. I clicked claim, and only won 5.

Thanks,
David

Not sure with you guys, but one friend noticed that he has the FaceBook request page back on the right of the screen..



While my account still has this one..
All of the Mafia Wars requests are placed on the Games section (see the text inside the bracket)..


This requests will take us to FaceBook request page.. I am not sure why we still have this on FaceBook when we have Zynga Message Center inside our game already?

Receive Mafia Wars Emails!

I suddenly have this pop up message on my game screen when I click on Home tab

I have done this before but I see the text "Check Your New Account Settings"..

Might have something new or perhaps they are upgrading this feature, so I'd like to try.. I click on the button above and bring me here :

You may want to click on Sign Up.. or just pick the options available there to get which emails you would like to receive everyday..

I did it, clicking on Sign Up first.. I see this one...

But nothing's happening! I try to click on "Receiving Gifts" option, still nothing's happening! 

Guess I have to skip on this one.. 

Do you have the pop up message too?

New Screen For Mission Rewards

Just noticed this when you check on the rewards from Secret Mission..


We have the question marks signs now.. so it will be surprise for you to get the reward items..




Speaking about Secret Mission, I have many people telling me to ask their mafia to be able to finish the jobs! Please accept the mission only if you have enough energy/stamina to finish right away and be fair to mission team.. (thanks Niko).




If you see an idle person on your mission, you can ask him/her to finish it.. or simply remove from the mission.
I know that we can not see the person's ID, so no way to contact him/her..
Spockholm team has made one tool for this occasion! You can use Mission ID bookmarklet..



And to run the job, install the Mission Click tool.

Find the tools here :
http://www.spockholm.com/mafia/experimental.php

I also see on Zynga forum, lots of suggestion to make "Helper" able to remove themself from the mission. And to put the info about "Host", so we know who has the mission going on.

Well, all of this to make our game better, team..

Thanks to all who helped me making this post.. Thanks to Aaron, Haider, Niko, etc..
Have a great weekend!

Atlantic City Mobile FAQ

Today Haider sent me this screenshot of his mobile phone when he tried to visitm.mafiawars.com.

The feature is still under construction until now.. Not sure when it will be ready to launched!

VaibhaV also sent me info about this feature, he said that it is only for USA residence. I think it's not true.. You can check it here on Zynga Support page :

Mafia Wars Mobile - Atlantic City FAQ

The question is, when it will be full released to all players? 

This is more info about Atlantic City when you click on Help button on your phone..

Objective: Welcome to the tough streets of Atlantic City. Plenty of dirty jobs await, but first you have to establish yourself among the locals....

which might take some convincing. Use your winnings to bust into the scene, rough up the Unions, and get busy. Manage your criminal empire while on the move to keep fighting, doing jobs and collecting from your properties.

Jobs: Jobs are your path to power. They require items and use energy , but in return grant Experience , cash , and occasionally powerful items. .

Fighting: Fight your way to glory . Spend Stamina to challenge your rivals. Your Attack, Defense and Health matter here , as well as the strength of your items and Mafia size . If you can knock an opponent elow 20 Health, you've iced... Fighting grants Experience, loot drops and cash.

Stats : When you gain enough Experience from Jobs and Fighting, you will gain a level . With each level you grow stronger, gaining skill points to increase Attack ,Defense , Stamina, Energy or Health. All stats are displayed on your profile for easy reference.

Properties: Don't forget to collect your payments. Properties from all cities can be visited and cash collected through the Properties section . Use cash to buy required items to unlock more Jobs. Be sure to check back often !

So exiting! Just wait for this and yes, start buying a new mobile phone! 

PS : Thanks for the kind info to Leonard, Haider and VaibhaV!

How To Find The Owner Of A Mission

Ok, sorry just got wake up, guys..
I see this posted already on TopMafia.Info & MWLootLady blog and thanks also to Hayden, Frogi and Steven for the info!

Now we can see the host of the mission to quickly contact them if you see any idled helper! Since we can only hold 10 missions, it's important to be able to collect all rewards from each..

Special Agent Dookie from Mafia Task Force has found the way to see the owner/host ID.





You can try a series of way to find the owner posted on Mafia Task Force thread OR you can simply install the bookmarklet from Arun named "Mission Owner".

Please visit it here for more detail :
http://mafia-taskforce.info/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=729

How to use it?
You need to unframe your window first.. then go to Mission tab and click on Mission Owner bookmarklet.
The link will be there above the mission, just click on it and you will be taken to his/her Mafia Wars profile.
Now you need to use "Switch" bookmarklet to go to his/her FaceBook profile, so you can send him/her a polite message to contact/remove the NON active mafia sooner.


It works fine for FireFox and Google Chrome.
So have a try and good luck on your mission!


PS : Credit goes to Dookie and Arun from Mafia Task Force!

New Player Updates!

Ok, just a quick update.. Some players has the new Player Updates on their accounts..
Not implemented to all players yet.

This is the original Player Updates we have now.. only have 1 tab..



And this is a new one..
Have 3 tabs there ie Top News, Recent News and Combat!




I got the original one.. Have no idea why I never have my server updated with new features..


PS : Thanks for the quick info, Haider..

Warning : PayPal Email Scam!

This is a warning post for PayPal players.. also to all players around the world!


Blue Eyed Nate from Zynga Forum made this post yesterday, please read on for your safety..


Like he said, id you received any suspisious email either from FaceBook, PayPal or any account, do NOT click on any links within that email!

Seems like bad hackers always try to find new ways to steal your account. So be careful on sharing your info (such as Date of Birthday, email, etc) on your FaceBook Info.
And remember to change your password regularly (FaceBook and email password).

You have been warned!
