London Robbing Is Activated!

When London first came out, robbing was disabled due to the reason that there are no properties to be robbed at the moment. After a few hours have past, robbing in London is now activated! However, the only property available to be robbed on the Robbing list, is the Olympic Stadium. To rob the rest of the London properties, you will have to wait...

And here is the screenshot after i've robbed the 9 Olympic Stadium properties above.

Extracted from Mafia Wars Blog:

Get ready to do some extreme robbing to pull off the Big Heist.
For the following week you'll be able to rob all 9 properties on the Robbing page at the same time with just one click! You'll need the Rob Squad to help you perform the Big Heist, however. Get Rob Squads by sending requests from the Free Gifts page or homepage banner that promotes the Big Heist. You can also post feeds to ask friends to send you Rob Squads. (They'll get one too for helping.)
Once you got your Rob Squads and a good heap of stamina, you're ready to run the Big Heist. You'll collect double the special reward you get when you clear all 9 properties on the Robbing page at the same time. Performing the Big Heist also improves your chances by 20% to rob all 9 properties successfully.
You can store up to 50 Rob Squads to run your Big Heist during this week-long event. You'll also need to have enough stamina to clear the robbing board, though. If you don't, you can purchase a stamina refill or use one of the free stamina packs your Mafia's been sending you.
Put on your robbing masks and get ready to clean house!

New Robbing Event : THE BIG HEIST

Without any warning, we got a New Robbing Event. This Event is basically allow you to rob all 9 properties in 1-click but you must have 1 Rob Squad and the require Stamina!

Go to your Home Module and you will be invited with The Event.

Ask for help from your mafia to get Rob Squad.They click your feed they get 1 rob squad too.

You can also find Rob Squad on Free-Gift Page

Accept it when your Maifa send to you but there is a limit of 50 you can accept via Free Gift page and 5 via Collecting from Friends Feeds.

Go to your Robbing Page(any city) You will find this on Your Robbing Page.Simply click on
Rob All (104)

Click on the Question Mark to get the Info how it work and You can buy 10 Rob Squad for 20 RP.

This is what Happen when you click Rob All.(Sorry to those I rob)

When you use this Rob Squad , you will get twice of the Loot from Robbing and NO you don't need to get 9-0 to get 2x Loot. As you can see from the picture I only get 8-1

I do hope Zynga make this Rob-All Properties Permanently and not require any Rob Squad. Cause it is seriously not easy to Burn Stamina finish if you have a huge Stamina amount.

Brazil Precious Collection Piece Glitch

EDIT: Gems dropping from the robbing board was unintentional and have thus been fixed few hours ago. << Makes me wonder why Zynga can't fix the display bug of the fight loot drops when they can fix the gems collection item drop bug within an hour or so..

This is what had been say since Brazil had started but there was no Brazil Precious Collection dropping at all.

Today while robbing in Brazil, Brazil Precious Collection Piece had started dropping

So better start activate Guardian slot or your Precious Collection piece will get rob!

Edit by Hayden: Added 1 more image on the right and the paragraph starting from EDIT:. Enjoy.

Robbing Loots Updated!

Zynga have updated the loot drops for Robbing. The old loot was so outdated that i "abandoned" the feature before...

And here is some of the list of items where you get for completing the whole robbing board (might add more images when time comes!) -

 

Also, if i'm not wrong, the FHEL5 loots drop in Robbing too! =)

Brazil - Robbing Gives Energy/Stamina

I noticed something while robbing in Brazil !
For robbing Barracks, you gain +1 Stamina.
For robbing Refinery, you gain +1 Energy.

(Since you have +1 Energy on each Robbing, make sure that spend your Energy before doing this robberies, otherwise it will be a waste of Energy.)

This is only a temporary bonus, will not added to your Skill Points.

Also, almost every property on the robbing list in Brazil are listed as Easy.
For those who have not mastered your robbing mastery, it's time to do it now!

Burners Numbers

Thanks to Avishek for this info!

For such a long time, we can not see clearly how many Burners we have to call for back up on Robbing.

Now we have it fixed, well hmmm... only for some lucky servers!

I still can not see my burners without highlighting on the numbers of it!

While some of chosen players have it with bright yellow color! No longer need to use your mouse to highlight the numbers of burner.

Darn!

Still have no luck on this game, so far... hope my bad luck goes with my suspended account!

Does anybody know how to get the number of my burners with the new color, please?

By contacting Zynga Customer Support? I will have to try it soon..

Hope you are in the right server!

Robbing Success = Lump Of Coal?

Ok, the New Year's Eve is coming very soon..

We're still trying to upgrade our Christmas tree and collecting the presents to get maximum number ie 45 presents.

But some players find it so hard to get lots of presents.. Everytime they try to collect presents from robbing, the prize is always Lump Of Coal!

Here is one example from Phil.. Please read on his email to me..

With the new Protect the Presents operation going on and having to rob others to get items to upgrade your tree and get new presents, I've been having a very annoying problem. When I am successful in robbing someone's tree, around 90% of the time I've been receiving a "Lump of Coal" instead of a present or an upgrade part.

You can see my result in the screenshot below..

I've contacted Zynga about the issue, but I was told it was a "technical error" and it would be forwarded, and there was nothing he could do other than give me 3 of each of the upgrade items, not even a present.

That was 2 days ago, and I still haven't heard back from them. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when you get a success shouldn't you at least get an upgrade part? I have managed to get my tree fully upgraded, but I already have 123 "Lump of Coal"s and growing.

Here is his Lump Of Coal by the time he sent me this email..

And sadly, here is the screenshot of his Christmas tree.. Can only able to get 16 from 45 gifts..

According to Phil he must be on a bad server or something because every time a new feature comes out he feels like he's among the last to get it!

Well, you're lucky, Phil..

My alter only have 5 from 45 gifts!

I was managed to get almost 45 of presents but somehow Zynga reset back my Protectors everyday and my opponents steal lots of my gifts! I also got Lump Of Coal whenever I help my friends as their Protectors and from robbing... and I feel bored to ask for more Protectors.. I really hate this event!

Still the best way is by sending Holiday Sack from Free Gifts and ask your beloved family to send back to you and don't open it yet!

Wait until a day before New Year's eve or so.. make sure that you have enough gifts so you are able to get the Grand Prize...

Still have 2 days before the event end...

Good luck to all of you.. and you too, Phil..
