This isn't April Fools Day but I couldn't believe my eyes when I got this beauty of a pop-up. They are so not listening to us! All we want is a break between events, how hard can that be???
Mike Nestor got the pop-up above on one account and the one below on another. Weird.
Maybe they are listening as this is probably the bagged and tagged gifting event that Blue Eyed Nate was referring to. I'll try to be patient but with a new Mission Event and new Operations yesterday and the Spy Hunter Event still active, this is a bit much.
Look for the latest copy/paste/spam event on your Home Page. How many numbers does the main Home Page Module hold? If things continue as is, they will run out of space.
I've explained how these events work too many times to count so here are the basics. Find the first gift called the Blank CD Spindle on your Free Gift page.
Collect 4, 8 and 16 Blank CD Spindles and get a mastery item for your efforts. The mastery item is a Decryption Specialist that has increasing stats with each level of mastery.
The next gift will unlock in about 2 and a half days. If it's a true copy/paste event then we will be able to do it 3 times. Thanks to Mike Nestor for the screen shots of the mastery items.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo ! /o\
ReplyDeleteThis is BS Zynga! Give us a freaking break.
ReplyDeleteThese events suck !!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWE NEED A BREAK FROM SPECIAL EVENTS AND MISSIONS...
and btw, the event's name is Cyber Wars.. I saw Karan posted something funny on Loot Lady FB page..
When will enough be enough ? When we, as players, actually stand our ground and stop participating in this. These are so mindless, everyone gets them, no one gets ahead..it is just a " wash ".
ReplyDeleteThey continue to insult the intelligence of us, the players , and we allow it. Enough is enough.
Great.. again we have gift page full of s*** and only 1 or 2 things worth sending.. "Italy building parts will be back" my a**
ReplyDeleteAccording to a post i of a message from a PAC member, Zynga said they couldn't stop this one because it was already packaged and ready to go. I think that means they'd already deployed the code and resource files.
ReplyDeleteAccording to that aforementioned post, this would be the last for a while. So I expected this one, but if we get another on it's heels, I might have to ignore it.
BTW, it was mentioned that zynga was convinced these events were beloved because of the high participation but the point was made that people played out of fear (of falling behind) rather than love.
writing all these posts is why I hardly have time to play MW anymore.
ReplyDeleteanother effin SPAM event. I'm soooooo excited.
ReplyDeleteBOYCOTT this is the only thing we should do 2 make them listen 2 us cause its clear that they pay no attention 2 us anymore :(
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate everything you do for us Jen!! I for one am looking forward to maybe being able to play the game for a while....hopefully
ReplyDeletestopped playing these events from last 2 times....previously i used to play daily for 10 hours....now lost interest in mafia wars due to all this shit....now not even playing 30 min
ReplyDeleteZYGNA IS KEEPING US BUSY TILL THEY FINISH CHANGES THEY HAVE IN PLACE.... WHEN THEY R DONE THIS GAME WILL BE SETUP AS A CREDIT CARD GAME ONLY.....LOOK AT BRAZIL U NEED A LOT OF RP TO FINISH IT.....THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO KEEP US BUSY SO WE DONT WATCH WHAT THEY R DOING
ReplyDeleteIf you dont like them then DONT participate, only way zynga will listen
ReplyDeleteTo the anonymous poster in all caps: ROFLMAO LOLOLOLOL.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any other conspiracy theories to your name I should entertain myself with?
I completed all of Brazil w/o any RP spent.
its all back to us, people!
ReplyDeletewe can play it and beg or we can ignore it:)
I am not joining any more stupid events, but, I will help others that still want play it:)
Ever notice how these always come out just before the weekend? I'm convinced that they believe they have to roll out something new every Thursday afternoon to keep the weekend clicks from dropping too much.
ReplyDeleteBut really now... as much as I hate back to back activities - overlapping them? come on! There aren't enough spam requests to send to do both at once!
FFS this is it, last straw for me. Playing this game has become too much like another job and it hasn't actually been fun for a long time. Tired of the spam, tired of the bugs repeated time after time after time (missions anyone)? Brazil was a massive disappointment, nothing new there unless you have hundreds of millions of energy to get 501 of the best loot. There's just no reason to keep playing. Not mad at Zynga. Not 'ragequitting'. Just ... well like I said ... tired of it all. Thanks for everything Jennifer, haven't commented much but have been a reader of your blog since almost the very start and appreciate the effort you put into it. If only Zynga put so much effort into their game. Bye :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Aylorian, nice words - all ring true, I totally agree and the whole process was a fun game for a while (been playing more than a year now) but now it is almost a full time job. Thanks to script programmers it can be bearable but even then it still requires a ''lot'' of time. I still do not know how long I can hang on, but it is increasingly clear that the end is near ;-( that I will just let go. Amazing how greed can kill the golden goose ;-)
ReplyDeleteso why do you people keep participating? nothing shows that the event was received good than a lot players playing it! I myself will not send a single gift from the event nor will I accept one, that is the only way Zynga will stop with these spam gifting events, no other way around it, they need cold hard players statistic facts...so we should give it to them!
ReplyDeletegifting events for me are i return whats gifted to me thats it!!! what i get is what i get i dont care about it !!!! DONT PARTICAPATE !!!!
