Ice Season 11 ends today, Family Gatherings mission event ends today

There are only a few hours remaining in Ice Season 11, so if you haven't completed the ice season yet, you betta be icing your butt off! Suffice it to say, I won't make it--again--although this time it's my fault and not Zynga's. The Thanksgiving holiday kept me busy, and of course when you're married, you've got double the visiting and double the cooking to do! So I'll just resolve to do better during the next Ice Season, and I'm guessing we won't have long to wait. According to Zynga, we can expect the next Ice Season this week, so we will probably see it very shortly after the end of Ice Season 11.

In fact, it might be a busy day for us, new stuff -wise. The Family Gatherings mission event will be ending this evening. Typically, once a mission event ends, we see a new one within a few hours, but Zynga hasn't announced a mission event for this week. Instead we will see the new Secret District this week. I'd be a little surprised, though, if they released a new Secret District without a new mission event to go along with it. Certainly their "This and Next Week" posts have left quite a bit to be desired when it comes to full disclosure. We shall see... soon.

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!

Ice Season 11

Good grief. When it rains, it pours.

Ice Season 11 is here (or back).

The Rough Vest is the grand prize. You'll need to obtain 1500 ices in 2 weeks, which should make it easier for many of us to complete. I was never able to complete 1000 ices in 1 week, so this is preferable to me.

The rewards per tier are the standard fare.
