Not Naughty Enough...the Naughty Videos Store

Well, i had no plans to build yet ANOTHER stupid limited time property, and I was not surprised to see my feed full of news that there is a glitch associated with it.  I don't even know what the glitch is and I don't care.  I do not even know what this property offers.  I don't care.  Frankly I don't know why anyone does.  I have 69 choices of properties to build from already and still limited to 5 free builds every 18 hours.  So I'm gonna waste my time with this one? Does it offer more than 20 health or more than 6 attack, defense, stamina or energy?  Sorry, the temporary boost to my loot score isn't worth all the damn posting, clicking, and begging.

Frankly, I'm annoyed that I have to move to another page of properties to get to the ones I actually use.  Sorry Zynga, yet another fail. You fail at everything.  I cannot wait to be FREE from from this addiction.  You make it easier and easier everyday with all your glitches, events, restrictions, and modifications ;)

I don't need your naughty videos.

The end is near...for me anyway.

It has been far too long since i blogged.  And I think I finally have something to say.  It is time to quit mafia wars.  I am sure it won't be easy for me, and might take a couple months to totally detox, but it is clear to me now:  I should not spend any more money on this game and should start spending less time on it.  Zynga doesn't deserve meh :P

It has been a fight with zynga from the beginning.  They have fought the player base tooth and nail.  They killed our beloved trading communities.  They loaded us down with event after event.  They failed to fix glitches and errors that were actually annoying and instead made changes to the way we became accustomed to playing the game. They bombarded us with "fire sales"/marketplace promotions.  They continue to offer double builds at very annoying and limited times that are hard for working americans like me to catch (when the obvious simple solution is to make the double builds triggered individually on a timer).  They continue to dump limited time properties on us.  They created an exclusive "VIP" program.

They drove away millions of mafia wars players.

I think the final straw was that I, like many of you, now no longer get proper experience points when attacked, or am being limited to a certain amount. I am now relegated to 25k experience every 5 minutes. (But the final, FINAL, straw was reading of yet ANOTHER limited time property, the Naughty one or whatever it is going to be called.)

Mafia Wars has been a central part of my life for 4 years solid now.  It has been so much fun, and I have made so many real friends.  Zynga truly created something special. But they screwed it up beyond all recognition (i believe the expression is FUBAR :v ).  I mean, this game has gone to places that I don't think Mark Pincus could have ever dreamed up.  The social side of this game is HUGE!!! So many war pages and family pages and help centres and secret groups and blogs and on and on.  I have seen true friendships, and relationships, and even a marriage result from mafia wars.  I have seen amazing teamwork, and hierarchy, and organisation, and camaraderie.  And the camaraderie...that is what really makes it hard to quit.

But it is time.  The game has become not unlike a drug addiction.  The fun part of getting high every day is over. Now it's become this miserable slavery of spending and time consumption and dealing with zynga's crap.

TO ZYNGA AND MARK: you ruined this game.  Just like you are ruining your company. I hope you go bankrupt Mr. Pincus.  That might make me feel better about the stupid amount of money i sent you.

TO ALL MY FRIENDS and FOES: I love you all. You made this game fun and amazing.  Without you there is no mafia wars. And so many of you are leaving the game.

TO ALL THE QUITTERS:  Yes i have strongly disliked the quitters, but soon, I am joining you ;)

From the artist formally known as {ℳ} ßrµ╬µ§, I bid you adieu.

After the begging comes the building. Here are the items we will get to build.

There will be lots of begging

For Mag Energizers. If you click the little yellow question mark this pop-up shows a detailed explanation.

If my math is right, we can collect up to 45 parts (Mag Energizers) per day to use to build and/or upgrade.

Magitude, vehicle [various] and Black Jack, armor [various] are the items we will be building.

Yeehaw.

Arc Reactor (facepalm) 8/3

Yet another new limited time property Arc Reactor

More new items to build

Little stat bumps come with these items

If you are a VIP player, like I am, you probably *have* to make it to at least level 13 to be using this equipement.

There will be lots and lots of begging. Again, too many things going on at once in the game causing event fatigue and general burn-out. But don't worry! There *are* things that the Zynga Studio has yet to complete!

We got our Family Boss fight back, though the loot is almost useless, but we still do not have the third Family Property. I'm guessing we never will.

The Wine Cellar (Facepalm)

Surprise, surprise.....Zynga has dumped another limited time property on us.  Ok, it's not really surprise.  We knew it was on the way.  The continued release of the @#*!%^$ properties is obviously never going to stop until the end of the game, and with the DAU slipping away that may be sooner than we think (1). Well surprise, surprise Zynga: I am not doing this stupid property, just like I did not do the one before this one. I have enough stress in my life thank you very much, and I am here to preach te same message I preached about the DIY Weapons Lab (2) - DON'T BUILD IT.

Do not reward Zynga's idiotic behavior by even touching these damn properties!!! Zynga needs to listen to its player base, but why should they when so many players give in and build these stupid things? Zynga has proven in the past that they do hear what we say, and sometimes they comply. They are simply ignoring the player base on this limited time property bullcrap.

People quit playing over the continued release of these properties. And many, like myself, feel like quitting and get one step closer to waking away. I love this game. I love the friendships that have come from it. I love the social and "political" nature of the game. The game truly is a phenomenon, and Zynga's greed and stupidity is suffocating it all. Mark Pincus the Dingus and his minions are destroying not only the game, but the culture of mafia wars. Don't help them do this to the game.

Don't Build the DIY Weapons Lab!

The jack asses at Zynga have yet again defied logic and reason, and have "given" us ANOTHER limited time property.  DO NOT BUILD IT.  By building it you are voting YES to more and more of these things.

I am sick and tired of two things.

FIRST: I am sick and tired of Zynga's inability to comply with the demands of its players. I am fairly confident 90% or more of players hate the limited time properties.  They are stressful. They offer items with such impressive stats that one almost feels compelled to get to level 15, for fear of falling behind the curve.  Zynga does not listen to the complaints and continues to push out these things.

SECOND:  I am sick and tired of people whining and moaning about these properties while still caving in and filling the feeds with parts requests.  JUST SAY NO.  I realize that may be an unpopular thing to say, but somebody has to say it.  This new property disease has gone way beyond insanity.  Every time a new property comes out people actually quit playing.  The only reason there is a bump in the DAU is because people log in to their mini accounts to click part links.  Well NOT ME.  Screw'em.  I will offer Zynga zero positive reinforcement for their idiotic behavior regarding these damned properties.  In fact, I will prolly contact CS and scream at them, as I hope everyone else will do.  Hopefully PAC 2.0 is screaming their heads off.

ANYONE who hates these properties should follow 4 simple steps:

1.  DO NOT BUILD THE PROPERTY  (first and foremost)

2.  Don't quit the game  (please)

3.  Scream at Zynga  (loud)

4.  Share this article with your friends :D

Yours Truly,

A disenchanted {ℳ} ßrµ†µ§ =Ʀ²Ƒ=

Pit Lane Limited Time Property 5/24

Pit Lane: 15 days left to complete

New Items we will be able to make.

Let's get to the begging, we have a long way to go!

Zynga'd: NY & Limited Time Properties: Revamped UPDATED 5/23

Congratulations! You've been Zynga'd! We were able to build in New York Properties every 18 hours. Now it will be every 24 hours at *MIDNIGHT PACIFIC TIME*.

The flip side is this, instead of building only 5 items, we can now build 6. (Four New York and Two Limited Time Properties).

London (Nightclub), Chicago (Warehouse)  and Brazil (Black Market) are now on a 23 hour build schedule.

However the consumables properties there:  London (East End Pub), Chicago (Speakeasy) and Brazil (Workshop) are on an 18 hour build cycle.

London, Chicago, Las Vegas and Brazil were already on a 24 hour build cycle, so there is no change to those properties., so there is no change to those properties (except they will *probably* be reset to the new 24 hour clock based on pacific time USA). We can also do all of our building from the Home page. I don't like that option too much so I will stick to the properties page.

(don't forget to click those cute little tiny Question Marks for information)

The properties page has changed a lot as well. It is now called the Global Properties (In New York) you will see these images.

(Oh look, another tiny Question mark)

If you click on the TAB that says "City Properties" you will see these properties:

Since it is 10:30 P.M. Pacific Time now, we get to build again in an hour and a half, I *think/hope*.

There was a little glitch for a very brief period, and some players were able to take advantage of this and build more items for 1 to 2 RP each, over and over. As soon as this information was publicized, the glitch was removed. Oh well, ya win some ya lose some.

I hope you have found this overview to be helpful. If you have, please click share at the bottom of this post. Thank you.

Just now, the Official Mafia Wars Blog has posted about this property change.
