Zynga'd

Mafia Wars is an absolute mess today. A mission glitch involving treasure chest keys has given a few lucky players thousands of free reward points. All you needed was to be playing at the right time. Rumor has it that there will be some kind of roll back, but I'm skeptical. Firstly, nothing was done about the precious gems glitch. Secondly it gets complicated when you consider that many of the points are already spent, and the glitch was entirely Zynga's fault (as usual). Now, a new epic boss fight appears, and just as we are about to finish it, they remove the whole thing. Oh, and Atlantic City disappears with no warning, and no reasonable explanation.

Two Free Points!

Just like last week, there are two points available for Monday! Make sure you get them both.

Double Fan Blasts!

I don't usually cover these, because MW Loot Lady does a perfectly good job. However, Zynga has started sharing a second link every Monday, so here are both links for today.

Enjoy! :)

Random Stuff

Sometimes, I wonder why I play this game.

Today, I've watched the fallout from the war loot rollback. Something that has done nothing to solve the problems of wars being over too soon, but has annoyed many honest players. That didn't annoy me too much (except for my behaviour being deemed "abnormal"). Was anyone at Zynga actually listening to the complaints? The majority were about how wars were over too soon.

Then the Raven boss fight popped up. I had a full eight hours, and I spent pretty much all of them fighting. I iced over 1,500 opponents, and I got 4 extra sniper shots for my efforts. Did anyone actually test the fix that increased the drop rate by 3?

Finally, there's rumours of a new city coming soon. This is good, but please fix Brazil - precious gems still do not drop from robbing, and there was supposed to be 3 new collections...

So, where is the Assassin?

I don't know what happened to the assassin boss (also known as "The Raven"). But it looks like he's been shopping. Does this mean we will get random rewards when he returns?

Assassin's Ride

Assassin's Rifle

Assassin's Pet

ps. on the topic of new items - I could not find any evidence of any new fight club loot.

Free Skill Point

Here is today's free point (it's a skill point). I haven't seen it posted anywhere, which makes me wonder if Zynga just forgot today:

More Brazil Items

With a new set of missions and three extra days to master Staten Island, there is still some time to speculate on upcoming Brazil items. As we already have new items in the city store, these ones most likely drop while doing jobs. Again, no stats are available, as these items do not yet appear in the inventory.

Amazon River Cruiser

Atelid Monkey

Baird's Tapir

Corroded Combat Knife

Fur Seal

Set of Mosquito Pinners

Smoke Squadron Fighter

Three-Banded Armadillo

As usual, the Mafia Wars artists have done a great job!
