Zynga Q&A #16, No Levelling bonus when fighting

Finally, we reach the last point from the Zynga Q&A blog post.

16. It’s not fair that I miss out on leveling bonuses if I level up while I’m attacking someone!

We understand that this can be annoying when you are trying to get your next ice or kill, and we don’t want you to miss out on your bonus. What do you think would be the best way to receive leveling bonuses?

Please share your feedback regarding Leveling Bonuses.

We can all agree that we love the level-up bonus especially the ones that give us Skill Points but there are certain situations that some of us do not get the opportunity to get the bonus. Both situations are centered around fighting; one where we are the attackers and the other when we are the defenders.

I would think the Zyngon's love of pop-ups for all manner of things, they could implement a Level-Up pop-up whenever we level up while either in the middle of attacking someone or being attacked by someone and winning. Now this may not garner support from everyone, especially those that don't want any pop-ups while they are chasing down an Ice so maybe a compromise is in order. For example, if we were to say level up while in the middle of attacking someone for the Ice and also happen to level up whilst doing so then the next time we go to our Profile tab to assign the +5 Skill Point we would also get the Level-Up bonus there instead. This compromise could also be applied to the situation when we happen to passively level up by winning attacks from other people giving us enough free XP to level up also.

I, for one, love the Skill Points bonus like I love Bacon and most of you will agree. So it would be unfair to those that miss out if they happen to be playing their game, their way and not conforming to what Zynga deems the "right" situation for getting a Level-Up bonus.

golden promotions not so golden

I'm actually getting a little tired of these golden and milestone promotions now. I would like to see Zynga make some changes, by allowing us to post the milestone promotions to the news feed, and by increasing the frequency of decent level-up rewards actually worth publishing.
 

Milestones are usually more worth publishing for bragging rights, but we can't do that. You're only allowed to post milestones on the walls of Facebook friends - and even then, you can't actually post it on any friend's wall that you'd really want to share the promotion with, because it only shows the names of inactive or brand-new players.

Or, as in Sudesh's case, you might not even have THAT option. On his milestone promotions, he doesn't get a list of friends to ever show, so he can't share it with anyone.

The +1 attack and defense are nice options. And since players are limited to collected 3 bonuses a day from level-up posts, it's not like anyone can exploit them. But it's pretty infrequently that we get those to even share with our friends.

More often we get junk like chain vipers or mystery shipments. I don't even post those, because I don't want to post rewards for my friends that aren't worth anything to anyone.
