Question & Answers Important Part

Inti God Of Sun asked: Why can’t a gradient healing timer be implemented to balance the game due to those that have high health and use auto healers?

Answer: We have that kind of feature in the works, but it may be a few weeks.


Mich So asked: I am a family player and have noticed that I don't get any points for building from these new upgradeable properties. Any chance you could let us get points from crafting from these? Also, I noticed that you basically need to have the armory, weapons depot, chop shop and private zoo fully upgraded to make a difference for your family. I don't always want to have to take the highest level as sometimes I am looking to build the highest thing that will give me say the most attack points or defense points. Any chance this value could be lowered just a little?

Answer: The property part of Family Progression was tuned to the old NY properties. The addition of the new crafting properties would throw a wrench into the tuning. Property progression may be retuned to include the new properties when additional levels are added to Family Progression. As for needing to craft the highest level item from properties to maximize the amount of property progression you receive, the amount of property progression actually doesn't depend on what you craft, but rather on the level of the property from which you are crafting. Therefore, crafting any level item from a level 10 property still earns you the maximum number of points toward the property part of family progression.

Markall42 is among a number of Mafia Wars players worried about the future of Mafia Wars 1 given that Mafia Wars 2 was recently released.

Response: We’re really excited about the release of Mafia Wars 2 and the way it expands the Mafia Wars universe. We are just as excited about all of the new content and updates planned for Mafia Wars 1 and about our renewed focus on the top concerns we continue to hear from players:
1) Bugs & performance issues that impact your game play (especially when fighting)
2) Event cadence - We realize there has been too much to do and the timers have been too tight
3) The gifting experience - It’s frustrating, not easy, and takes too much time. We want to improve the gifting experience.
Mind you, we can’t fix everything overnight, but we will be focusing on these items and any additional player concerns as they arise while we continue to develop additional content. We are VERY excited about the future of Mafia Wars 1 and hope you are too! As always, we’d love to hear from you on the Mafia Wars forum.

JaggyJag asked: Would you please update the loyalty shop? At the moment, the loyalty shop is more or less useless. What is the benefit of collecting loyalty points when the loots on there are outdated. If you are not going to be bothered updating it, would you at least start giving out Victory points for Reward points purchases.

Answer: Neither of the loyalty point or fight club systems should be updated as they currently exist, as both systems are cash flooded. We would consider updating the loot as long as it was accompanied by an update to the system. One option we're considering instead of a system update is making new loot available via those features for a limited time just prior to their removal. We will post an announcement on the blog when we decide what we're going to do with these systems.

That's basically all the Key Point on Mafia Wars Insider 12
