Lock & Stock And Predator Minigun Weapons

Last month I have posted about this article : Free Weapons For You.

Here are the exclusive weapons for limited time (Thankgiving Week) only...

The event is over now and the two weapons are gone from New York Weapons Depot Property. As well as the Gun Barrel that we need to build the weapons.

One of my best mafia "Wu" has run the Stream Helper to collect these 2 weapons everyday and has succeeded to collect this :

175x Lock & Stock and 13x Predator Minigun weapons!

That's a total of 1400 Gun Barrels for the Lock & Stock and 78 for the Predators. That means I was able to get 370 Gun Barrels per day of the event!

That's great!

To be honest I forgot to run Stream Helper tool since I have posted that article!

Hopefully you can get tons of free weapons and have a nice Inventory now..

Congratulations to you, Wu and for all mafia! And see you on the next free collectibles!

Zynga - Updated ToS & Privacy Policy

I login on my Mafia Wars account for today and I see this..

Zynga has updated their Term of Service and also Privacy Policy..

Don't worry, every player has this pop-up message! Once you have click on "Accept" button you can play your game normally..

You know that I'm selling loots, thanks for the kind warning to all of my friends out there..

And also they have stated there one sentence : "You may not make false or improper claims to Zynga Support"

I think lots of players still have so many error problems on their accounts and also game play... Once they want to report it, Zynga Customer Support seems can not handle the problem (either saying that this is not their capability to fix it, the problem is being escalated, etc) and just kick them out from Live Chat..

If you have time, you can read all the updated infos here :
http://www.zynga.com/about/terms-of-service.php#

Please Zynga, before you accuse us make a false report, correct all the improper bugs on the game!

PS : Thanks to all for the kind info!

More On Exclusive Bonus Payment

Haider has sent me more screenshots and info about the Exclusive Bonus Payment...
This bonus will only drop if you finish your job in the mission and not dropping on each mission (random).

Here are some example of bonus you can get..

And this one...


So the items are just like the bonus we got from claiming our Mystery Bag..

After that you can share your bonus with your mafia friends...

I think I have done a lot of mission every day but I don't have a chance to get one of this feature... guess, it's not roll out for everybody yet?

Anyway, I also want to remind you about this Stuff The Bird Mission.. We still have around 7 hours before it's gone..

I think everybody is bored enough with this kind of mission.. I have completed my position on one spot, but the rest slots are still opened until the time has expired! Nobody want to join the mission!

We have our regular one with more interesting prize, so we don't need anymore mission..

Please do not update the Limited Time mission, Zynga...

And I will still doing my job on one mission to get the exclusive bonus payment.. What about you, my friends?

PS : Thanks again to Haider for this!

Exclusive Bonus Payment

Thanks to Haider for the screenshot..
He got this pop up from doing a mission... he said it is just like a Red Mystery Bag..

Perhaps you can get it randomly dropping from doing any missions..

I'm not sure yet about this one.. so I will keep updating this post..

Thanks, Haider..

Fight Job, Wrong Boost

This is a common error that seems to happen a lot on this game.. Thanks to Boian for sharing this to us...

Wish to share something I think is an error in the game logic.
I mastered a job in Las Vegas just after accepting some Mystery Bag gifts. While performing a Fight Job the game used some of my Faberge Hens, which a energy boost and not an stamina one. As you can see on the screenshot, the "YOU SPENT" still reads 136 that is the job stamina cost. I cannot confirm if the Faberge Hen was really wasted because I am not sure how many I had before this but then I have none of them now.

Greets,
Boian

And here is the screenshot..

Yes, it's a fight path job which require us to spend some Staminas, but still we have to use Faberge Hen boost?

I agree with Boian that it is an error in the game logic, so the Developer team should fix this issue soon.. Hopefully we won't have this error anymore...

PS : Thanks again, Boian.. Enjoy your game!

Tutorial For New Players

VaibhaV played on a new type of New York on Mafia Wars game.. He started to play using this new account to see the difference between old style and current style of game play..

I have wrote once about New Tutorial & Level Up Box on this new New York.. and now here are the rest experience from VaibhaV..

Please read on..

He played further on that account & found it very hard to play...
When he got leveled up to level 3, it locked him up from adding skill points to Energy..

It's saying you need to add your Fight skills now...

He tried escaping it but the button was continue greyed out... & upon clicking it, it's just highlighted the skill allotment box....

Then he logged out & log in again.. It was cleared out but now he was still locked from doing jobs. It is said that you need to ice one mafia & improve your fight skills...

Ok then he went to Fight tab & saw a further version of ice notation!!

You know now we have got a big red mark on our fightlist in front of iced targets recently.. Here he couldn't attack them!!! There was NO Attack button on iced targets...

(maybe it was just a challenge like to move forward ice one mafia... on further level it may lock him out from jobbing saying its a challenge that you should ice 50 mafias to move forward now...

but it's just speculation...)

So then he iced one person & got this new iced popup!!


This action made the game locked him out from fighting, saying that your energy is full, return to the jobs page & opened job tab for him!!

And the Properties tab has not unlocked yet.. need level 4 to open your Properties..

Then he got this new tutorial message... & it locked him out from jobbing on Street Thug tier anymore because now he had gained access to the Associate tier...

Then it got very annoying & he left that account on itself...

He said, "This was the baddest experience I got with a new account! Imagine how would you feel if you are locked out of fight for 1 whole level & on next level you are locked out on jobbing alternatingly...

That format just suck except for tutorials!!!"

Well, since we have played the old mafia game style, this whole new format is really annoying.. Because we have already known on how to spend our Energy and Stamina...

But I agree with him, this game is supposed NOT to lock us from doing Fight or Job on the previous jobs page.. It's our game, it's depend on us to move our mouse to do any Fight or Jobs!

Just my two cents..

PS : Thanks a lot for spending your time sharing this experience with us, VaibhaV...
