Social Mission Feature

Share:

As promised (1), Zynga started to roll out the Social Mission feature.  I was lucky enough to get it and couldn't wait to try it out.  You will see a new tab under the game header that says Missions.  There are no banners or home page messages yet but I'm sure those will come soon.

When you click on the missions tab, you will be directed to the page that will keep track of the missions you initiated and the ones you helped with.

Click on the little question mark to get all the details.

To start your own mission, do jobs and one will eventually drop.

When you click on "Select Your Crew", you will be directed to your invite page.  I only needed 4 people for this mission.  The maximum number of helpers that will be required on any of the missions is 8.  Select friends that you can count on.  I didn't realize this at the time and went a little over board and used too many of my requests.

You can also make a post on your wall so your mafia can help you.  If you have a large and active mafia, this will be a better and faster option than using your requests.  Click on "Ask for Help" to generate the request.

To help on missions, look on your Facebook request page and click "Accept and Play".

Or scan your news feeds for Help requests and click on "Help Whoever" (in this case Help Jeremy).

When you help on a mission, choose from the available jobs.  Make sure you have enough energy or stamina before you accept.  Each one that is still available will have the requirements listed.

Here are the requirements for all four jobs of  'The Steal A Dockyard Shipment" Mission.

Select the available job you want to perform and you will get a notification if you were successful.

If you don't have enough energy or stamina, Zynga will let you know the options to get more.

Master the Job and wait for the others to finish and you will get your helpers reward.

I helped Da Irish Kid in the job above.  He had a slacker and we all had to wait on him to get the reward.  In the slackers defense, you have 2 days to complete the mission.  We were all just excited and wanted him to finish.

Now you just need to wait for your initiated missions and the ones you helped with to be completed.  You can check out the rewards you can get by clicking on "See the Reward" from your missions tab.  These were the available ones in my mission.

Here are the stats which are all really good.

Use your missions tab to check on the progress of your mission.

Once the required number of players accept and complete their jobs, click on "Collect Rewards" to get your loot.

Here are the items that I received for completing my mission.

To get your helper rewards, do the same as above but make sure you are on the My Mafia Missions.  Here are the items one of my mafia members got for helping me.

And these are the items I got for helping Da Irish Kid and John Sweeney Jr.

To keep updated on this feature, visit this Zynga Forum Board Thread or the Mafia Wars Wiki Missions Page.  According to Al Catraz, we can help and initiate up to 10 missions at a time.  He also states that you can remove a slacker if you have one.  I'm not sure how to go about doing that yet but I will look into it.  We are suppose to Loyalty Points as well.  I didn't see any drop when I helped with the jobs but maybe they were just added to my balance.  I will verify that on the next mission I can initiate.  
I found a second list of loot items on the Mafia Wars Wiki.  Who knows how many there are but I will update this post as more is known about this feature.
