Yep, 5x loot drops in Brazil are back for me too!

Shortly after the Brazil loot drop fix was announced, I noted that it appeared that I was still only receiving 1x loot drops. I did try clearing caches and cookies, but the fight results screen in the new fight system apparently doesn't display a quantity. That would be a small change that I'd suggest - just for the sake of accuracy.

After getting a little more stamina, I did another stamina run in Brazil manually just now. I recorded the results using Spockholm's very handy Inventory History spocklet. As you can see for yourself, +5 loot quantity per item is a theme, so I'd say it's working.

So -- make a note. Once you get rolled into the new fight system and do any fighting in Brazil, you may want to double-check your inventory if you think you're not getting the 5x loot drop. You might be getting it and just not seeing it. But hopefully they can add in the quantity for loot on the fight results screen soon.

An actual update re: Brazil loot drops FIXED

 According to a post made on the forums a few minutes ago, the Brazil loot drops should be fixed within the hour. I'm told the fix is already actually in place. You may want to try clearing your caches if you're not getting the correct drop rate in Brazil yet. Now we're getting somewhere!

The Team Is

I'm getting really sick of getting no answer but "we're working on it" about why in the h3ll the loot drops in Brazil have not be restored to their correct drop rates.

This thread on Getsatisfaction.com has an official post from yesterday that the issue would be fixed soon. A few hours ago, that got downgraded to "the team is working to fix the error". O RLY?

Last Wednesday, June 1st, CM stated that he would have someone looking into the issue about the Brazil loot drops in this forum thread.

A couple of days later, nothing had changed, so I asked for an update.

A short while later we were told that a fix would be released shortly.

Another day and a half later, I asked again for an update.

A little while later came the same response: "The team is aware of this issue."

I'm not trying to pick a fight with CM here, he's just the unlucky messenger who happens to be the only source of information/communication about the topic right now. But why's it so hard to get an answer from Zynga about this? That's what I'm wanting to know at this point. I'm just tired of the same non-answer. Not getting 5x loot drops in Brazil for 5x the stamina cost is a big deal to some players. So why is it not working 4 days after the team became aware of the issue? Did everyone just go home for the weekend, or something? Just give us an update. Or better yet, fix it.

This Non Update was brought to you by someone with far too much time on her hands :0)

still no update to Brazil loot drops

Yesterday a few players began reporting that the 5x loot drop was showing again in their game. This morning I still see only 1x loot drops in Brazil in my game, and many of the players who are seeing the 5x loot drop say that it actually still isn't working and that they are only actually getting 1x loot drops. The customer support document on the subject hasn't been updated since 6/2, and there's been no recent moderator activity in the forum thread about the issue.

I'm starting to feel that Zynga has dropped the ball on this. Spending 5x the amount of stamina and not getting corresponding loot drops is really a rip-off, and is a huge reason to avoid playing in Brazil right now. Zynga has been aware of this issue since long before the weekend, so why isn't anyone working on this?

I posted in the forum thread asking for an update. Hopefully we will hear something soon.

Brazil loot back to 5x..or not?

I'm starting to see a few players reporting that the loot drops in Brazil have been restored to 5x. Others say it only says 5x loot but you're still only getting 1x loot. For me I'm still just getting 1x loot. I don't see that the customer support document has been updated yet either. It may be something on its way though, so stay tuned.

Zynga's words re: 5x Brazil loot not working

I went to Zynga's Customer Support site looking for a FAQ on the new "Challenge Mission" -- which isn't there yet, by the way. I did however find a post I hadn't seen yet about the incorrect drop rates in Brazil. This is a commonly-known issue at this point, and has been officially addressed on the forums already.

The support document addresses that the drop rates are "incorrect", putting to rest some rumors I heard that it was intentional on Zynga's part.

The Zyngons say that this will be fixed and we need to check HERE for an update. In the meantime, I suggest you don't fight in Brazil, because you're not getting your stamina's worth.

Once they post that the fix has been "pushed", they suggest clearing cookies and caches if you still have the problem.
