Kassina Kunoichi slightly corrected: no mission/achievement

Before, as per a screen shot of Kassina Kunoichi's FAQ I took only a short while ago:

Q: Is there mastery for defeating the Boss?
A. Yes! Players will receive a mastery item (bronze, silver, or gold) each time they knock out the Boss, however you will not actually finish the Boss until you have reached the gold mastery level. But, don't defeat the Boss on the gold level too quickly, because on 5/12/11, a quest event will begin that will have the final combo so that you can earn the achievement.

After, all mention of the quest and achievement are removed.

And this question/answer about the achievement was removed entirely.

In this forum thread, which I referenced earlier today, Super Moderator Cerulean Master has finally addressed the questions: "There is no mission or achievement associated with this Boss Fight."

So there you have it, no mission/quest, no achievement. 

Personally, I'm not upset at this news, I just think it's laughable that the FAQ was released with such a ripe case of Copy/Paste. But we already have TOO MUCH going on in the game right now, and more that we know is coming. The last thing I want is another mission event, or another event of any kind, for that matter.

will there be a quest/mission/achievement for Kassina Kunoichi??

There seems to be some confusion over what's actually to be expected of this Kassina Kunoichi boss fight event.

The FAQ clearly states there's going to be a quest and an achievement, but it's just as clearly only a copy and paste of the Roughhouse Rafael FAQ, so who knows how accurate this really is?

There's already a forum thread wondering about it. In that thread, one person claims that Zynga told him there were no plans for a mission or achievement.

 Then there's the image used on Kassina Kunoichi's FAQ ~ kind of looks like an achievement, doesn't it?


It seems that no one's sure!


Maybe Zynga should revise Kassina Kunoichi's FAQ...

Defeat Kassina Kunoichi 411/FAQ

Defeat? Wasn't that for Rafael? It's "Eliminate", silly editors!

The 411/FAQ (or whatever they're calling it these days) for the Kassina Kunoichi boss fight has now been posted.

The event is scheduled to end on Tuesday May 31st. Supposedly, this boss also has an 8 hour heal timer. That was said about Roughhouse Rafael too though, and I never noticed that to be the case for that event (at least in my game).

It's worth noting that the mission combo remains the same as from the first boss fight we had using combos.

Q:  I unlocked the mission combo on the previous boss fight, is it still available?
A:  Yes.  The mission combo remains the same from the first boss event and will appear unlocked on the current boss fight.

For job, fighting, and robbing consumables, you can collect up to 50 each day. Shotgun Blasts, which are obtained through gifting, can be collected up to 40 per day.

It's obvious that they copy/pasted most of this info from Roughhouse Rafael's FAQ. Check out the date pertaining to the mission event we were wondering about!

If all of the information holds true, we can expect a mission event (or quest event...whatever) and maybe an achievement sometime during this event.

 Hard to say about the achievement part since that was definitely simply copy and pasted from Roughhouse Rafael's info. Most of us have already discovered all 3 combos, and I know several people have already beat the boss. We'll see.

Boss Fight Event V2

According to the announcement just made at the Mafia Wars blog, the next boss fight event is going to be a bit different from previous boss fight events. We'll see how it goes, I guess. I actually liked the old boss fights fine - or I would have, if they would have fixed the various bugs that were associated with them. 

But then again, it's previously been said that they would be trying new types of events, so I'll check it out and provide my feedback accordingly. The blog says ""  this is the first of a number of exciting fighting features coming to Mafia Wars this quarter!"

So now we'll not be using stamina, but rather a combination of "ammo" items that come from jobs, fights, robbing, and of course one obligatory free gift item.The ammo is basically "boss fight consumables". The Knuckle Punch will drop from fights, Crack of the Bat comes from robbing, Knife Slashes comes from doing jobs. Shotgun Blasts will come by gift requests.

Presumably, clicking on an ammo item does some damage to the boss, and clicking on them in a certain order (or "combo") will inflict greater damage <my supposition at this point>. As we use the items, the game will show a history of what items we've used, to help us figure out the combos. One combo will be given to us via a 'quest' associated with the event, and others we'll just discover as we play. We are free to share those with each other once we find them, of course. 

It looks like the boss fights will be timed; in other words, they will regenerate health after a certain period of time. It also sounds like there will be different levels of difficulty, so each time you beat the boss you'll get a mastery item "up to gold mastery".  

I didn't see any mention of an event date yet -- "soon", I guess :)
