One of the best things about the 'Meet The Family' event was listening to Scott, The General Manager of Mafia Wars, announce the soon to be implemented game enhancing features. This information can also be found on the Official Mafia Wars Blog.
During his speech, Scott stressed that the entire Mafia Wars team is working to make the game great and provide the best user experience. He said what helps the most is getting genuine, constructive feedback from the players. The most powerful statement made by Scott was when he said that the Mafia Wars Team would "Shape the future of the game through player feedback". A glimpse into the very near future of the game was given when Scott announced three upcoming enhancements to the game.
1. Missions (known as quests in the gaming world) will be added to the game. These are small tasks that a player can perform to get incremental rewards as they progress in the game.
2. The Mafia Wars home page lay out will soon change and will contain all the information players need to know where their character stands and where they can go.
3. The Inventory Revamp project is well underway and the inventory page will be more organized and tell players what they need and what they don't need. An exciting addition will be a feature that serves as a Pawn Shop and will allow players to have a use for the items they don't need anymore. The goal is the give players a way to leverage all the items they have acquired throughout the game. Scott stated that "Hopefully this system becomes a foundational aspect of the work we are progressing on related to trading".
Again Scott stressed that player feedback will be very important so improvements can be made on these features once they are implemented.
I know some of you will say "oh no, not more changes" and "fix what's broke before adding new features". If you think about it, we asked for it! It will be great to a usable Inventory Page and even better to have a system to get rid of all the the crap. The new home page lay-out will help the new players and make things easier to look up for the experienced players. I want these features added ASAP! I'm not sure how we are going to like the Missions but I'm down for anything that will provide good loot.

ReplyDelete@Anonymous #2 I have one rule. If you want to bash me, grow a set of balls and sign your name. If you look at the description of my blog you will see that I take all the information I find and reference and link it here so readers can go to the original source. I'm a writer and not a Mafia Wars guru. If you don't like my content, don't read it. Obviously you do or you wouldn't have taken the time to comment. I certainly don't need or want you as a reader.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why it all sounds like Jennifer? Anonymous... you should STFU and perhaps quit reading LootLady's blog.... since you can find what she writes EVERYWHERE.
