Ruby Level Loot event survey

Zynga has a new survey for you to take, this one about the Ruby Level Loot event in Brazil, which wrapped up a couple of days ago.

There's only 3 questions, the first of which is did you even see the event? Yes, I did, unfortunately. Along with the 4 other events that were going on at the time.

They also wanted to know much you agree with statements that you enjoyed the feature, thought it was easy to use, and made your 'experience' more fun. As you can see, I very strongly disagreed with all of those statements. I hated this event, particularly since it came when there was so many other things going on in the game demanding my energy and stamina. F that.

The question actually gives you a text field to share any feedback that you may have about the event.

I know some people liked it and were able to benefit greatly from it, but I really couldn't. I only had Recife ruby mastered, so at most I was able to do like, two jobs per level. I ended up with all of ONE ruby level loot item.

Two thumbs down from me. Click HERE to take the survey and submit your own responses!

Ruby Level Loot makes quiet exit

Now that the Ruby Level Loot event in Brazil is over, I'm kind of glad. I didn't like that event, and I still only got the one Firefly throughout the whole thing. Of course, I gave up rather quickly and went back to focusing on getting ices for the current Ice Season.

I know some players were able to get a lot of the ruby level loot, though. How much did you end up with?

EVENT FATIGUE

Do I even need to say anything about this picture? Of course I do! :D

As a person who used to love completing every challenge the game threw at me, times like these are frustrating. How many times do we have to bang our heads against this wall? This is WAY TOO MUCH going on the game right now!

Back in March and April of this year, event fatigue was a huge issue. Lately, I've been seeing it come up more and more often. Back then, Zynga seemed to gradually slow up on the events, and in early May, we actually saw a break in events, but it didn't last long, and there hasn't been a break since. That was almost three months ago :-/

And Zynga is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, they seem to be piling on the events more and more. And LOOK at the events going on right now. There is NO way to complete all of them. You've got the Ice Season, which requires you to focus on using stamina fighting. I'm not done yet, and I wanted the stupid badge. Brazil Ruby Level Loot was a complete joke for me. I STILL have only 1 item. I only have Recife at ruby mastery, so even if I tried, I could only get in one or two jobs before I ran out of energy for the entire level. There's the ever-present mission event, which I now habitually ignore. Out of nowhere today we have the robbing thing, which I can't do because I need my stamina to finish the Ice Season, and the Italy mastery thing. On top of all that, rumors of Bangkok closing, which remain unconfirmed so we don't know if we need to work on it now or not. 

This is insane

Final Day - Ruby Loot Event

The clock is ticking down on the Ruby Level Loot event... just a day to go for find what you may!

This week's mission helped me more than anything... with all of the jobs in sections of Brazil that I had ruby mastery I found 1 piece or so every 3500 energy level.

I like that there is no single mega loot for completing a set... and that no achievement is resting on the outcome... once I had one of everything I found some joy in an unexpected icon popping up during my mission work... since not much else seemed to be dropping!

I faced the raven twice this week and both times the Ruby Loot was the bright spot in my playing session.

I only have one district to go in Brazil... and if I was totally done I would REALLY have welcomed this as "something to do" in a city I had finished.

How did you like this event? What kind of events would you like to see in cities you have finished?

obtaining ruby level loot is a joke

I don't know what kind of luck you guys are having, but I still have only one Firefly.

I don't have a ton of energy, so I only had one level of Brazil ruby mastered, and the others are nowhere close to ruby level. 2-3 ruby level jobs per level and that's it.

Yuck-o. That's what I say.


How many ruby level loot items do you have?

Ruby Level Loot finally makes an appearance

Ruby Level Loot is here, apparently for the next 8 days. You will need to achieve ruby level mastery of all jobs in "a" Brazil district to find 'exclusive loot'. Once Ruby level is attained, rare gems will start dropping from those ruby level jobs. Or at least, that's what it says.

 

I've gotten the Firefly so far, but this event will sort of suck for me because Recife is the only one I have ruby mastered and the other districts aren't even close :-/

Here are all of the items that have been added.

Coming Soon: Brazil Loot

Well, we already knew this, courtesy of the Mafia Wars blog "This Week & Next" weekly posts. But now there's an announcement about it on the home page banners of some players. The Arabian Stallion shown in the graphic can't yet be found in inventory, and it says "Coming Soon". Clicking on "Get it done in Brazil" just takes you to the jobs page in Brazil.
