New Family mission and perks

The new Family event has started rolling out. Not all accounts have it just yet, much to my frustration :0)

At the top of your Family page, you'll see a progress bar and a leaderboard. It also shows the last "perk" earned, and the next perk to be earned by the Family. These are basically family-earned boosts.

This is the next thing you'll notice. Tabs named Activity, Roster, and most interestingly, Perks. Below that is another leaderboard with additional tabs for Helper, Jobs, Ices, and Property.

 

Under the Roster tab, you'll find exactly what you'd expect to find. It's the roster that used to be on the front of the Family page.

Here's a look at the Perks:

1

Ambitious I

Restore energy 5% faster. Store +1 energy pack (6 total).

2

Well Connected

Get 4 hired guns per request for 501 Mafia, +500 Mafia ATT/+500 DEF, and 10% less damage in losses.

3

4

5

Ambitious II

6

7

10

I have to say, I think it's funny that one of the perks is getting extra war loot :D

Jobs
Doing Jobs in any city will give you experience. Collect enough Jobs XP to get a reward of bonus XP and family XP. There are three levels to achieve.

Ices

Property
Every day, you can build weapons, armors, vehicles, and animals from your New York properties. Building from upgraded properties will give you more crafting experience. Collect enough crafting XP to collect a reward of bonus XP and family XP. There are three levels to achieve.

 Oh but that's not all - there's also a Family mission to be found on your mission bar. It includes icing, doing jobs, upgrading NY properties -- and craft powerful items? Does this mean we're getting new chop shop upgrades, etc?

Oh and notice how it says "time until reset" up on the top right? I don't like the sound of that, but I'll look more at it later.

Additionally, on the lefthand side of your homepage, underneath the banner, you'll notice that you can now toggle between viewing your own game progress, or your Family's latest progress.
