Zynga Iced Themselves - UPDATED

I am so pissed off right now I can't see straight. I am not even bothering with a graphic (maybe add one later).  This new property crap has me fuming mad.  If you read the new FAQ carefully you will see that the reason all the timers are jacked up and still at 12 RPs, regardless of the time, is because that is a new improvement to the property feature. HUH? Yeah.....follow this link http://tinyurl.com/GLOBAL-FAQ and about half-way into the FAQ you will see:

Q: How many Items can I build in a day? How many RPs do I need to spend to craft beyond free Limit?

The very last sentence of the answer they give is all I cared about in the whole stupid long winded FAQ:

A: If you want to build more items, you will be charged 12 RPs for every craft.

Again...HUH?  Are they trying to ICE themselves??? (BTW thanks David Tucker and Co. for that phrase).  I am a chronic speed builder.  I build almost every day when the timers are at 6 RPs per build. It is almost the only thing I spend money on regularly in the game besides the crate sales. And now they have nerfed it.  Now i have to pay 12 RPs to speed build no matter what the time says.  HUH? ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK ZYNGA??? Are you NOT aware of the rapidly dwindling number of players???  This is almost the last straw for me.  I am not going to quit playing, but my wallet is gonna quit paying.  They just don't deserve any more of my money - period.

YOU HEAR THAT ZYNGA? NO MORE MONEY FROM ME!!!! And I won't be the only one.  This type of speed building that they nerfed is, or, i guess i should say, WAS, wildly popular.

Zynga, you are a bastard.  I hope Mark Pincus goes bankrupt, LOL.  Zynga is run by the stupidest of the stupid, and the greediest of the greedy.  They have managed to stumble upon good ideas here and there like a blind chicken pecking for corn.  No vision. No pulse on the players. No clue how to appease the masses. No concern for anything other than money.  Which is a really bad approach for a social gaming company.  Me thinks being socialable might be a good trait for such a company, yet Zynga is better personified as a conniving and sniveling DICKHEAD.  It disgust me that i have spent thousands of dollars on this game.  Makes me want to vomit in Mark Pincus' face. Repeatedly.  I'm sorry ya'll. It's just, I've had enough of this bull.

MAFIA WARS Zynga player survey: The Slammer secret district

Now that The Slammer secret district for Mafia Wars is almost dead and gone, what do you have to say about it? Since I didn't get to play much of this one, I don't have much I can say about it (and maybe that's a good thing).

Zynga wants to know your opinion, so don't be shy:

MAFIA WARS Zynga player survey: Dead Or Alive gift mastery event

Here's another Zynga player survey for Mafia Wars players, this one about the Dead Or Alive gift mastery event that just ended a short while ago. Did you finish it? As I always tell Zynga, I do not mind these events as long as we don't have them crammed down our throats. I will cautiously say I enjoy them---but in heavy moderation. Tell Zynga what you thought of this event:

MAFIA WARS Zynga player survey: Mafia Poker

The Mafia Wars fan page has been running posts for another player survey: Mafia Poker. This is another Mafia Wars feature I think a lot of us will have feedback on. I know I did; I gave it a review and some suggested fixes a few days ago. I think this could potentially be a fun feature or event, were Zynga to make some changes and a couple of important fixes.

P.S. Don't forget, the Mafia Poker event ends tomorrow night. Will you get the emerald Fortune Teller?

MAFIA WARS Zynga player survey: Assassin's Academy

One more, a player survey from the Mafia Wars fan page. I suspect that there will be lots of feedback on the Assassin's Academy, as there were several things done differently with this limited time property for Mafia Wars. In addition to have more levels, there were higher level "mastery" items that could be built, a better offering of skill points to build, Facebook feed issues, and a huge amount of effort. Is it even possible to fully upgrade this thing?? Tell Zynga what you think.

MAFIA WARS Zynga player survey: Heavy Metal Crates

Another survey offering, via the Mafia Wars fan page, this one is is on the Heavy Metal Crates that were recently introduced. This is your chance to tell Zynga how much you love or hate crates :)

MAFIA WARS Zynga player survey: End Of Days Mission Event

More Mafia Wars player surveys from the Mafia Wars fan page on Facebook--this one is about the End Of Days mission event. I think many of us will have something to say about this one. I know I will!

http://zyn.ga/FGx <-- Take a quick survey about this event.

Zynga player survey: The Ice Queen

Yep. Another Zynga survey, this one on the latest Family Boss Fight boss, The Ice Queen. Some players said they noticed a change with this boss by way of the amount of damage incurred. Don't like that? Tell Zynga in their survey HERE.

Zynga player survey: Back Alley Business, Brazil

Zynga has posted another survey, this one for the Back Alley Business, Brazil additional new secret district. Go HERE to take the survey. Since they seem capable of cranking out these surveys, it would be nice if they would also get back to cranking out the daily free points on their fan page and the This and Next Week blog posts every Friday. Slackers!

Zynga player survey: Extreme Missions!

Zynga has posted another survey for players to fill out, this one about the new series of Extreme Missions. I haven't been giving the Extreme Missions much effort, myself; there's way too much going on in the game right now. Although I did see that I've completed some of the first one through normal game play, by answering ZMC requests and collecting from properties, so that's good.

Go here to take the survey and tell Zynga your thoughts on Extreme Missions: http://zyn.ga/FCx

Zynga Family Properties SURVEY

With all the player surveys Zynga has been handing out lately, I was waiting for this one: a survey about the Family Properties.

This should be fun. What will you have to say? Click HERE to take the survey now.

SURVEY: secret district Lexington Hotel

Oh, AND Zynga wants you to take a survey for them about this latest secret district, Lexington Hotel.

I might have some positive things to say about this one, namely about the skill point acquisition. We'll see though. I'm going to play through it some before filling out the survey.

You can find the survey HERE.

SURVEY: 3x mastery event

Zynga has been on a survey kick lately. Filling out a survey for Zynga often feels like wasted effort, because they rarely listen. In this case the survey offering is about the current 3x Mastery event in Italy, so it might be worth filling out the form...positive reinforcement, and all :0)

Hop a plane to Italy for 3X Mastery until 11:59pm (Pacific Time) on December 13th!

Feature Review Survey: Family Boss Fight: Dr. Sarah Swift

Another survey from Zynga, this one about the Dr. Sarah Swift Family Boss Fight. I didn't have much nice to say about the cool down timer.

The only vision correction setting on MY laser is "Lights Out!" 50% off treatments until your entire family is dead!

Incognito Gift Mastery Event Survey

Zynga has a little survey for you to take about the Incognito Gift Mastery Event.

This and Next Week "8/19"

The official Mafia Wars blog finally got around to releasing this week's update of This And Next Week. Or maybe they have changed the posting from Friday to Monday, who knows.

Anyhoo, the Released This Week portion I usually skip over. There's nothing of note there.

Bug Fixes this week does contain a noteworthy entry that I'm anxious to check out.

BUG: The Rivals list was not accurately displaying which players were iced.
FIXED: The Rivals list now more accurately displays which players are alive.

The rivals list was a great idea of Zynga's, but for the longest time we haven't been able to see which of them would be 'live targets', like we can see live or iced opponents on the fight list. You couldn't tell for sure until you actually tapped them with an attack. I haven't been making much use of my rivals list lately, but now that I've read this tidbit, I'm suddenly anxious to call on some old friends :0)

Coming Next Week*
*As far as currently scheduled, but things can change.
Epic Family Boss Fights
Some epic bosses are on their way and it's going to take the collaborative strength of your family to defeat them!
Boost Mastery Event: Arch Enemies
Draw strength from these boosts. Your will enemies quiver with fear.

So the Family boss fight is on the schedule again. Knowing that it's probably going to be just like the Raven and all the other boring boss fights of late, I can't say I'm excited about this one. Although, I guess it would be interesting to have a new set of boss fight combos to figure out.

The Boost Mastery Event, Arch Enemies, sounds like it's going to be very similar to the Freedom Fighters event we saw at the end of June. A gifting event, where the gifts are usable boosts. Fair enough, I didn't mind that one. Provided they keep spacing out the events.

Zynga's also still looking for player feed back on a couple of items. Read HERE for information on the Gold Mystery Bag survey.

It seems they're still pushing their player survey about the new property collection system "Union Hall" to be found on your Mafia Wars homepage. Why does that irk me? Because the bastages haven't bothered finishing the freaking rollout. I STILL don't have it.

Zynga survey on Gold Mystery Bags

Love giving Zynga a piece of your mind? They love it too (sometimes) :D Here's another survey, this time they want to know your thoughts about the Gold Mystery Bags we had last weekend. Go HERE to take the survey.

Zynga Union Hall Survey

With the rollout of Union Hall comes not only a convenient place to collect all of your properties, but also finally, the option to collection Brazil properties separately - and thus have more control over when we use the extra stamina and energy we collect.

This IS on a slow rollout. I have seen plenty of people saying they don't have this. I myself don't have it yet either.

Soon we'll be able to use Rob Squad boosts to collect additional cash and consumables when clicking the Collect All button in Union Hall.

You can also ask for and send "Super Shipments" from the Union Hall. When you Ask for all parts and people click your post, it says you will receive "up to one for each of the construction properties you can own (the Chop Shop, Weapons Depot, Armory, & Private Zoo in NYC, the Black Market in Brazil, and the Port in Italy)".

Zynga has another survey for you, this one about the Union Hall. You can go HERE to take the survey.

Personally, I think it was stupid to put out the survey when many of us don't even have the damn feature yet. If Zynga's usual style holds true, we're pretty much screwed until they get around to finishing the rollout next week. We play the game over the weekend, but Zynga doesn't bother to accommodate that.
