Zynga's Q&A: #3 Fight Page Jumping

You may recall Misty kicking off a series of articles recently, related to a list of issues that PAC put forward to Zynga. Having started off with Pop-Ups during fighting, and then Event Fatigue, we now move on to #3.

3. It’s not cool that the fight page sometimes jumps to the fight or rivals list and back again when I am fighting, which often causes me to miss out on icing other players.

This has been fixed with the release of the new fighting system. We are very excited about the new Mafia Wars fighting experience, but it still has a few bugs that we must fix before we can extend it to everyone. We are working to get it out to every player as soon as possible.

Please share your feedback regarding Fight Page Jumping.

Well, this issue has largely been made redundant by the fact that there is a new fight module on it's way out (slowly rolling of course) which appears to not have this jumping issue. Of course, it has another effect that causes the same problem, that is when someone else "steals" your ice, you get a pop-up for each attack carried out after the target was taken down. This means you then have to close each one or switch to a new tab to carry on fighting.

So Zynga still have some work to do to in order to smooth out the fight process. How badly has the screen jumping during fighting affected you before? And if you're on the new module, what ways have you seen the process slowed down?
