New Operation, New Loot and Changes

Share:

Some Changes have taken place with the Operations. I will start with the new ones "Evade The Coast Guard", it is a Hard Operation and takes 5 people to finish it.
The 2 rare items are the Screech Owl with 48 att/78 def and the Rainbow Boa with 80 att/50 def. Neither of these are giftable.
The next one is "Hijack An Ocean Liner" it is Medium and requires 4 people to finish.
The 2 rare items for this one are the Blackmail Light with 40att/76def and the Jackalope with 77att/42 def. These are also not goftable (thx to Chris and Kelly for the above images).
The next new Operation is "Narco Trafficking" which is an easy one that needs 3 helpers to finish.
The 2 rare items for this one are the  War Kilt with 46att/74def and the Deft Touch with 73 att/44def. You guessed it right, not giftable.

Now for the Update on Loot items in the Operation "Take out a Rival Operation", The Grim Reaper and Z17 were downgraded to Uncommon items and 2 new Rare Items (yep, not giftable!) were added also along with some common item changes. Unsure if this is an update or an addition Operation with the same name.
OLD  Loot
 
 NEW Loot
The 2 New Rare items are the Ostrich Egg Bomb with 82att/41def and the Crab Claw Cutter with 81att/37def.

Now for some changes in the Operations..... You can now help yourself in your own Operation, or as before wasted 7 RP to fill one spot.
Just click on join and you can fill one slot yourself, this will come in handy when you need one more spot and cant get the help. You can only help yourself one time per Operation also.
If you hover over the job when its done it says "Help Me! For their good work on this Operation". Well you cant gift yourself for helping, so I find this kinda funny....lol
And you can now also ask for help on your friends missions.  I wonder where Zynga got this idea from??  Could it have been from Team Spockholm and their spocklet we have all been using for this for a long time?
Another not cool change is that you can no longer close out your Operations pop-up while you are doing jobs. Your options are to stop doing your jobs and get your Operation set up or to "Remove" it entirely. If you do this, it's gone and you can't go back to it at your convenience like you could in the past. I hope this was an oversight by Zynga and they will return it to the way it was before (thanks to Srikant for the screen shot).
Some players have stated that you can no longer remove deadbeat players from your Operations. I find I can still remove players from Operations that I've initiated but not from ones I'm helping in. Slade sent me an image of his own operation in which he doesn't have the little x to boot people.

  11. Are these new items all non-giftable or can they be added to WL?

    ReplyDelete
  12. However, you can't bank the missions anymore: if you click on the X (close) box, they'll go away (at least they warn you).

    ReplyDelete
  13. They are not giftable and I hope they stay that way.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Do you know what the max operations you can get is, now that the new operations appeared?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Apparently you cannot boot a camper if you get one in your mission?....Like you could in previous mission operations?...Is there a way?

    ReplyDelete
  16. @anon, you CAN bank the mission by clicking either on your FB link or on the big mafia wars link in game , mission will then be there to start whenever you choose

    ReplyDelete
  17. BTW - The hyperlink for "Team Spockholm" at the bottom of the post is incorrect and takes you to a SPAM page

  19. bummer I have an old mission with a slacker in it and can not kick them out - no more X

    ReplyDelete
  20. Did a little more work on these --
    if you join the mission then you lose the ability to boot slackers out

    if you stay out of the mission you can boot slackers

    ReplyDelete
  21. If you don't want to start your operation now and want to start it later do not close the pop up. Just refresh the page and you will have it with "start operation" button. ^^

  22. any ideas on the drop rates for the rare loot...? Ive not done an operation in a LONG time due to little energy, cities to do, and crappy XP ratios...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I had the new loot in "Take out a Rival" last night, but now it has went back to the old loot :/

    ReplyDelete
  24. about not running operations, what i´ve been doing all the time, is that i´ve run my ops and just not collected on them myself, that way other ppl can collect and i get the other ops dropping, i just let them sit uncollected, eventually they expire and i can restart them, the only op i collected on (before these new ones) was the dockyard = i always had only that dropping.
