Carnaval Mask Event Released and Pulled

Share:

Update:  Due to technical difficulties, The Carnaval Mask Brazil Combo Event has been turned off temporarily (1).
I'm not going to get too detailed here because we already went through this with the Valentine's Day Event. Read my post titled Love Stinks and insert the word Carnaval Mask for Broken Heart and you should be good to go.
Find the in game instructions by clicking the question mark or See Rewards on the Home Page module.
 Find the Carnaval Masks on the Free Gift Page.
Get notified via pop-up while doing jobs, fighting and robbing.
Also get notified in game while doing jobs and fighting.
Unfortunately, Zynga didn't remove the pop-ups from fighting. If you are in a clan war or just want ices, you're gonna have to deal with these. Not cool!
I don't have an image yet but sometimes you get a rare Golden Mask and that is worth 5 Carnaval Masks.
Also look for the exciting mini-game pop-up. Earn up to 5 Carnaval Masks. If you are lucky and get 5 Gold Carnaval Masks, you will have a total of 25 Carnaval Masks.
The rules are the same as last time. Get 10 Carnaval Masks a day from Jobs Fights and Robs. 40 from the Free Gift system. 5 from asking your mafia and 10 from collecting them in the new feeds.  Plus a undetermined amount from the mini-game (it depends on how many times you get the mini-game pop-up and how many Masks you win).

The loot items for Carnaval Mask redemption are listed below.  All but the Air Brazil are pretty crappy.  You want at least one Air Brazil so you can get access to Beta Brazil.  Just like the Hearts, there was a glitch with the Masks. Here is an image from an anonymous source. You can see 152 Masks were already collected. This is probably the reason the event was pulled.
Don't go out and try to collect your Carnaval Mask right away. Myself and many others get this nice message when we try.  Yep, it's over before it begins. Only in Zyngaland.  Actually the event is turned off for now until the technical issues are resolved. No need to panic, it will be back. Hopefully they are turning off the fight pop-ups.
Thanks to Mike Nestor for helping me put this together and taking screen shots.

  1. Sounds like Air Brazil has returned to the runway and will remain grounded with indefinite delay and you can read the ruckus by disgruntled passengers on the forums. Drama...

  2. I'm fine as long as we don't lose the masks that we collected

  3. When accepting a mask in-game as with the broken hearts, it's best to do one at a time and then close the request page.If you accept all in-game requests at once you will miss many chances for the mini game or the pop-up that gives a free mask to 5 of your mafia....when the event is back up and running of course!

  5. I think one of the reasons it was shut down is that you were getting a mask almost every mission complete and I'm assuming fight and rob. They probably wanted it less frequent (read as annoying as getting the hearts)

  8. jajaja the joke started with the email, when clicking links provided & got this error "Event expired", should say "We failed to realize, for the event links to work, FIRST we need to ACTIVATE the event" looool Zynga will never learn from these multiple events that are crippling the servers with more and more bugs but i guess they r making lot of money to be doing it so excessively..

    by accident i bought "Pecuna Blowgun" (wasn't happy about it).. the pop-up issue needs to be addressed and not ignored, unless it's a free mini-game for chance to win more, i don't want to know how many i have or i looted 1 from job/fight/robbery, STUPID ZyngaZzzz!

  9. I am so sick and tired of Pop ups while fighting!!!
    I can not believe they continue to add them into the mix with every stupid event.
    Seriously...in the heat of the battle...I have to respond to a pop up mini game for stupid Carnival Masks????
    Unfreakin' believable.

  12. and just like the hearts crap last month, the gift counter seems to be stuck. Last time Zynga gave me 20 RP for my "trouble". They are going to need to start to up the ante because this shit is getting old
