THE BOSS FIGHT NERF as it is being called was implemented because Families
figured out the strategy of beating it very fast and were basically
farming the high end loot items throwing the balance of the game off as
some players were getting too strong compared to others. Zynga states a
timer was supposed to be put in but wasn’t so now they added one to make
things fairer but they also made it so if you want to beat the boss and
get the loot you can pay 25 RP to bypass the timer so basically you will have to pay for the loot now if you are farming. From what I hear there will NOT be a rollback or adjustment because of this as it was Zynga’s stupidity not the players fault.

POWER PACKS: Power Packs are a big
issue in the game and with the players right now. Some players have
them, some don’t, some had them and had them taken away and others just
flat out never had them. This has turned into a FAILED
Experiment for Zynga. The Power Packs were fine and a stable feature in
the game and all they had to do was finish up the full roll out to the
other 50% of the players or other 500,000 LOL, and everyone was happy with them.
If Zynga did do the full roll out as they were 125% every 8 hours and then changed it to 100% the players would of been fine after bitching a bit but the way they EXPERIMENTED on the players just pissed everyone off. Well now we hear they will be rolling them out again to everyone but now they will be 50% Power Packs every 8 hours. So I guess this was their solution so they didn’t lose too much money, well something is better than nothing. NOW GET THEM OUT TO THE PLAYERS ALREADY !!!
We will also be having a New Mission & Secret District next week right after Cuba closes again. The Mission will be called Lead Into Gold & the Secret District will be called El Darado. As you can see they are both themed with GOLD. From the looks of this it should be another high energy Brazil event. Hopefully it will at least have loot that is worthwhile.

MAFIA WARS LIVE: Next week we should also have some new fight stuff but details were kept sketchy But the guys on the Mafia Wars Live recorded edition. They tried to do a show Live but had audio issues again and had to record it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEW PROPERTIES: They will also be adding a new build-able property to New York called Hawkeye Sports Bar later
today. This property you will have one week to upgrade it as high as
you can you can and the rewards will be a craft-able loot item that will
offer rewards based on how far you upgrade it and it one of the rewards
will be SKILL POINTS. So basically you will have to
spam your friends for the needed parts and this will be a weekly thing
as they will have a new one each week for now. The items for the first
property don't look that great for the higher level players but we will
see what skills they provide to see if it worth it to spam our friends.
But there will be a problem and that brings me to our next thing up.

FACEBOOK has eliminated
the Unlimited Gifting we have all grown to love. So now we are limited
to sending out 26 gifts a day from the game AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A ZYNGA ISSUE IT IS FACEBOOK BEING ANTI SOCIAL AGAIN !!! So
I hate to say it but you may have to use the bookmarklet's to get your
gifts needed for the new properties coming out and the Family
Progression goals you need to hit which brings me to our final thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPOCKHOLM: Now According to the Mafia Wars Loot Lady the Team Spockholm
will finally be coming out with their own version of a toolbar. Their
toolbar is almost ready for release and will incorporate most
of their popular bookmarklet's in one nice and neat location.
It will not unframe your game it will just
be added right on the screen with the game with a drop down with the
bookmarklet's like gift-a-nator, switch, get-a-nator & much more in
it.
