Dearly Departed mission #8: Dissension

Hmm, the first objective was already mastered for me once I reached the 8th mission in the Dearly Departed mission event: Dissension. That's the second time it's occurred to me. I haven't asked around about that, but last time this happened, at least one person told me they still had to do the job the specified number of times in order to complete the objective. I thought it might be because I already mastered the job, but then again, it didn't take doing the job 60 times to master it.

Anyway, your Headquarters are in Brazil and you can collect every 8 hours, which took me a day and a half to finish. Getting support from 10 of your mafia should hopefully not be very difficult. As usual, you can fulfill this objective just by accepting the crew requests from your mafia members, but you also can't tell what crew member request is for which mission in the ZMC, so it's a good idea to send out some requests anyway.

Dissension

Thomas Chou

Ambition rears its ugly head. They think they are better than you. They think you are redundant.

Objectives

  • 60/60 JOB: "ORDER A HIT ON DISLOYAL ASSOCIATES".

  • 0/10 GET SUPPORT FROM YOUR MAFIA.

    Now would be a good time for the loyal to show their support.

  • 0/3 COLLECT FROM YOUR HEADQUARTERS 3 TIMES.

    Can loyalty be bought?

Boss Fight Issues


Surprise ~ Surpise
Boss fight selection issues are cropping up.  The pic above is directly from my own attempt to select a role in the boss fight.  We had another peep try to select and no screen whatsoever popped up.  The next two had the standard box & made their choices as usual.

Consider yourself warned - in case the sheer volume of new nonsense in the game had not triggered the idea that the game would start having issues...here's your sign.

I don't know how you do boss fights in your family, but in mine - I've chosen to x out that screen and try again later.

Now I'll start watching for the nifty banner at the top of the game saying they know there are issues...and blah, blah, blah.

Bring on the gold mystery bags I say!


...And stop with the chronic event fatigue.

Extreme Missions: Old Fashioned Sitdown

 
There's a new mission...more than one, I suspect, on your Mafia Wars home page banner. Extreme Missions! Extra hard, extra reward.

I guess...but this is why we have to give sparing compliments to Zynga. We said we liked the Bonus missions, now we get this, on TOP of everything else? Zynga, you just do not get it. An old fashioned sitdown is what you need!

On the bright side, I don't see a timer on this. Maybe this is part of that mission content refresh, something that can be done at our leisure. I hope!

Old Fashioned Sitdown


Jack Coltello

You've made quite the name for yourself, Boss. What say we set up a meeting with some other families to set some ground rules?

Objectives

  • 0/9 BUY 9 ITEMS FROM YOUR PORT.

    Purchase some rustic, European classics as gifts.
  • 0/9 COLLECT FROM YOUR WINERY 9 TIMES.

    Visit your Italian estates and pick up the take.
  • 0/9 GET SUPPORT FROM YOUR MAFIA.

    Call in your Mafia to make an impressive showing.

Dearly Departed mission #7: Follow or Perish

This is the 7th mission in the Dearly Departed mission event for Mafia Wars. As with some of the previous missions, the wait time (for me) was due to the amount of energy expended on doing jobs. I spent around 7000 energy getting the objective 0/40 JOB: "CATCH A SABOTEUR". I guess I could start playing these missions from my old E-ho account, but that wouldn't be as much fun, now, would it? :)

Acquiring the animals is pretty easy--you may be tempted to buy them in the city stores, but I would suggest simply obtaining them as loot drops while fighting. You'll probably get some of them from completing that third objective of fighting opponents in New York, in fact.

Follow or Perish

Thomas Chou

Old dogs can be taught new tricks. Bend them to your will. Show them who is in control.

Objectives

  • 0/15 ACQUIRE 15 ANIMALS.

    Strength in numbers.

  • 0/40 JOB: "CATCH A SABOTEUR".

    Lead by example.

  • 0/80 FIGHT 80 OPPONENTS IN NEW YORK.

    Show them you are the boss.

VOTE FOR MS PAC PARTY!


VOTE FOR MS PAC PARTY!


SPREAD THE WORD!!
A group of MW Clan and Community leaders have joined forces to help all MW Players get the most from the New Years Resolutions Event!

To do this we have all agreed to place our votes on ONE item to ensure it wins! When an item wins its stats are upgraded as you can see from the picture.

Make your votes MS PAC PARTY!

Then you too can own more of the winning loot item!



Mafia Wars cramfest

Your news feed when you logged in today was probably your first indicator that something was going on. Well, a few somethings. My reaction was, I didn't want to even log in. I decided to go make some coffee to prepare myself first :D

Seriously??

So, in a nutshell, we haz new property, the School of Choice. Seems you can build it like normal, or purchase upgrade parts to benefit Haiti. There's a nifty little banner offering to upgrade you fully, for a mere $135.

The Countdown to Annihilation sale works pretty much like we thought it would; purchase 15 qualifying items to receive the Mortal Chromebat .22, which has stats of 109 attack and 179 defense. Certain items do not qualify toward the 15 items, so read the fine print.

Reward points for 60% off today.

The New Year's Resolution thing...the gist of it is, as I understand it, you can "vote" for one of the items every 24 hours from now until the end of the event in 6 and a half days. You get one of the item that you vote for. You can earn extra votes (and thus extra loot I assume) by completing New Year's Resolutions, challenges which can also be found from your missions bar. Or you can buy extra votes, of course. At the end of this thing, the items with the top 3 amounts of votes will receive additional mastery, so their stats will go up.

Nate and Jana will be getting my free votes, but I doubt if I'll go out of my way to complete any resolutions. I'd like to be able to play the game and concentrate just on whatever city I'm working on, instead of trying to run willy-nilly through the game to complete everything Zynga throws at me. And I'm darn sure not going to buy extra votes--although at least the cost per item is a little more reasonable than the usual marketplace loot items if you buy extra votes.

If you have the patience to make sense of all that, more power to you. I think I'm just going to go play Sims and ignore all this today.
