Zynga - Give Us The Docked Fight Module Back!

I know I'm not the only manual fighter out there who is about ready to pull their hair out at the roots today. Some time late yesterday fighters across Mafia Wars started having issues with the fight list and in the last 24 hours things have gone from bad to worse.

Complaints manual fighters are reporting include:
  • The non-docked module appears unpredictably on the page and you must scroll around to find it.
  • Once you scroll around to find the non-docked module you are unlikely to get the ice because by the time you find the module your target is already on ice.
  • You have to click the X to close the fight module and return to the fight list.
  • The fight list refreshes every single time you click the X to close the module.
  • You can't rapidly go from one target to another due to having to click the X to return to the fight list.

So what does this all add up to? The manual fighter is essentially crippled in the middle of Ice Season 11. I contacted Customer Service today to complain about the mess the non-docking fight module was making of my game and while apologetic all the CS rep could tell me was:

"Sadly we are not able to put back the previous fighting screen to our games."
and:
"At the moment your studio is trying to improve the fight page and this is not the definitive module."

Well Zynga, I sincerely hope this is not the 'definitive module' and that you come to your senses very soon and revert the fight module back to its previous dockable state! Not everyone wants to use a bookmarklet to do their fighting but with the way it is now it is nearly impossible to get an ice without using one!

~Wella...who might go bald if the fight module doesn't get fixed really, REALLY soon!

  2. @Anon, exactly how would this deter "bots"? I think it's just another annoying Zynga screw-up.

  3. Actually the current mess encourages bot fighting because it is cripling the manual fighters ability to fight.

  5. this is actually encouraging more bots since it is harder to play manually than it is automated
