Mini Energy Pack Facebook Posts

Share:

Zynga is finally doing something about the problem many face with getting enough Mini Energy Packs. We like the concept of Mini Energy Packs, but we hate to beg for them. This is especially true when you send out plenty of requests but don't get the Mini Packs you requested. The process is rather time consuming as well due to the amount of time it takes the Mini Energy pack page to load.
Once you sent your requests, you can only hope at least six of the players you sent them to are on line and respond to your request. This rarely works.
Team Spockholm has a solution via the Link-a-Nator. When used correctly, a link will be generated that you can post in your news feeds and any player who clicks on it will have sent you an energy pack.
Misty Dady from the PAC and Mistyfied Mafia Wars & Pimping asked why there couldn't be an in game option to request energy. Her idea was well received by all the other PAC members and it was officially requested.

Default posting for mini packs
I'm not entirely sure where to address this, since not everyone has the minipacks and they are for a "limited time", but -- requests for mini energy packs should be able to be posted to the news feeds, as is the case with regular energy packs. 

Over the past couple days, I've seen several comments on my page and in my news feed to this effect, and it's a good point. Some are complaining that people don't answer these requests or that they have to wait quite a while for responses.


It was exciting to learn that some players now have this option. Here is a request that a player was able to make when he was out of Mini Energy packs. He said he got all of his Mini Energy packs in about 60 seconds from the time the post was published. I don't have any information as to when all players can expect to see this feature. Hopefully it won't be as slow and gradual as Crack The Safe. Now if they could add a timer to the Mini Energy pack display and let us hold a certain number of Mini packs in a queue for later use, this feature would be awesome.

    I am unsure why this is such a problem, the solution should be a quick fix, Zynga allowed 5 full packs to be in storage, Why don't they jsut allow 12-18 mini packs to be in storage, this way we are not tripping over all the other SPAM on the Zynga walls

    To have an ingame option would be really great, at the moment i always use the linkanator to generate a link to post to my wall. Before the linkanator was available, my gifts page would be half full with energy pack reqs, now not so much. Before the mini-energy pack, i never had to use the ingame option bcos there is always enough packs send to me and the MW homepage always informs me how much pack i have inqueue. But since the mini EP, i never know how much there is in queue or whether i have used up the full 2 days allowed 12 packs or when i am due i can post my link.
