Family Boss Fight Letdown

A while ago, our Mistyfied redtag group ground out Jeff The Knife the first time. This came out late last night, which wasn't a good time for a lot of us. I got on this morning and Le Trainspotter had done a great summary for our Family which answered most of my initial questions, and myself and several of us picked up the line throughout the day to wear Jeff down.

The real secret was coordination, and once we picked up the Flow, it was only a matter of  hours before Jeff went down. Considering one of the things we loved about the old boss fights was collaboration and coordination, I will say that Zynga did a good job implementing that here.

We started chewing through him really fast and had worked up some momentum, so it was a bit disappointing when we realized we only got one loot item each. Granted, the loot item doesn't suck, but that was HOURS of effort from a lot of different Family members.

It seems the reward system will work similar to operation rewards. Only you get fewer rewards. Overall is it worth that? I dunno, I'm dubious.

It's fun enough that we'll probably work at it here and there, but most of us agree that the lack of decent rewards detracts from the fun of it in light of the effort we put in. I think we're going to go back to focusing on family progress.

Sue T. said there should be some good XP rewards, such as with the Family mission, and I agree with that idea.

Fun, yes, but a rather anticlimactic letdown in the end.
