Customer Support has finally released a 411 & FAQ about Crack The Safe. Either there are errors in this page as to how the event works or it was nerfed before many got it. I would put my money on the later, the 411 guy does a good job. I still don't have the feature on any of my accounts so I can't test it. There are now are four steps instead of one in the process. You get one loot item per step and a mastery item, The Monofin, for completing all four steps. We are told that there is now a cap of 100 items. Prior to this 411, there was only one task, get 5 new mafia members, and there was no limit to how many loot items we could get. I know players who have already have more than 100 of these awesome loot items and the newly imposed limit is not fair to the players who never got the original unnerfed version of Crack The Safe. I predicted this would happen and discussed it on the last episode of Informant Podcast. I sure hope I didn't give them any ideas!

I think the only crack here is the crack Zynga's programmers are smoken! With the list of complaints everyone post and they still don't try to fix, you have to wonder sometimes do they ever test these mini-games they put out. Are the programmers must work on a incentive program, "meaning the more you put out they more you get paid" So I have to say put the crack pipe down and start testing this stuff for a few months before you put it out, don't be in such a rush, trust me we have plenty of mini-games and special event to keep us busy until your testing is done!!
ReplyDeletedammit i should have worked a little more to get more of that nerf loots. never thought it was going to this
ReplyDeletehey zynga i still dont have this one on my main page!
ReplyDeleteDear Jen
ReplyDeleteWhen have MW been fair. They put out some new for some few players and they get all the god loot and stuff.
As many i have more then 1 acc and its never the same on them, On 2 i can have 16 crew members waiing on 1 i can only have 8.
The min energy is ok but you have no clue how many you have use and you have to spam the wall and friends to get em.
All the darn event and mini-game sux
In a mission i have now . you have to do the job Take Over a Shipyard 15x . If you dont wanna waist your energy after you have master it 1 time , you have to do all the other jobs in recife before you can finish the mission .
The boss fights is a joke, when they keep on gain life. I have clue how many time i had to ask for help kill them. And you get a answer that they know about the problem and are working on fix it. Yeah they work fast huh . Its soon 1 yr since i start have problem with the boss fights but still they have not fix it
What zynga should do . Is hire the Spockholm team. The this game would be fix in a day or 2. And it would be much easier to play
ReplyDeletegeez Zynga, w to the t f.

hmmm.. my screen shows only the first picture (above - with the 5 shadow outlines) and I have followed all steps, and one by one the 5 new members fill in.. but at the end I do get ONE loot item... not ONE PER STEP..??!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the second picture with the 4 safes does not show on my account either.....CS is mistaken again....
ReplyDeleteCool, maybe there won't be a nerf. Guess we will have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteIll believe it, if i ever see it.
ReplyDeleteThe 3 5000+ accts...no dice.
The new -200 acct...nada.
My gf's acct that i cant add people for new mafia members(she only wants friends she knows, cant argue that)...has access to it. Classic!!
well, i guess pimping myself out for over 200 new mafia members paid off. :)
ReplyDeletehmmmm cant we delete mafia wars and re-install ? no safe no mini Epacks no operations :(
ReplyDeleteThis will be what, the 3rd time? I hope I even get it since I did it last time...
ReplyDeleteIt says you can complete this event 100 times!? That can't be right!! It just can't be.. Especially since I guarantee it disappears after you finish it once.. Just like it did last time.. like 6-8 months ago..
ReplyDeleteNow that there IS a limit, Zynga needs to apply THAT limit to people who have more than 100. That's the only way to make it fair for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah... people who DO have more than 100 will complain... But fair is fair. The nerf should apply to EVERYONE.
