A Tale of Two CS Agents and Mystery Bags

Share:

There seems to be some confusion over the rules of these new Blue Mystery Bags. This may have to do with the fact that players are being told different things by Customer Support. When Indrasis contacted Customer Support, he was told that wishlist items would no longer drop from Mystery Bags. This isn't true as many players are reporting that they are still getting "items on your wishlist". A lot of collection items will not drop if they are added to your wishlist. Examples are the Daily Chance, Stolen Diamond, Money Laundering and so far it seems to apply to the Superhero Collection. Items such as Italy Loot are still dropping from Mystery Bags but some players are reporting a decrease in the frequency.

Kev Ger decided to get some answers. He was told that "no changes have been announced for the Loot Drops". Kev was also told that "you can only get one Comic Book Hero every day" from Mystery Bags. If you get more they won't be added to your account.

Many players are finding they don't actually get the items that drop in Mystery Bags. Vla got a Arachnid-Man but it never actually made it onto his collection. Vla refreshed his game and Arachnid-Man was still the Invisible Man. If this happens to you, contact Customer Support. Indrasis got 15 Skill because one of the Superhero Collection items wasn't credited to his account. You only get 20 Skill Points for vaulting 7 items so this seems like a sweet deal to me.
Another interesting thing some players have found from Blue Mystery Bags is a Baccarat Shoe. This looks and sounds great but the problem is it doesn't get added to your account. It's most likely a display error. Vito was able to capture a screen shot of this and other players verified the same thing happened to them (1). I wonder what Customer Support will give him for that

    I did get one wish list item earlier today, but that was the only one at all. Great post!

    One day Zynga will introduce something that works from the start and doesn't cause mass confusion.

    I just hope my great great great great grandkids are around for that historic day.

    I also got a Comic Hero and a WL item in the first few bags I opened yesterday, and since then nothing but useless boosts. On all my accounts I'd say I got 2 WL and 1 comic out of the last 400+ bags that I could be bothered to open.

    I got 2 WL items out of 200 bags each of the last two days. The frequency just went from 7-8% drop to like 1%. The game just lamed out.

    First blue bag dropped a WL item... like others I am now up to my eyeballs in useless boosts. The pair of brass knuckles from clearing a robbing board is better than this junk

    I've gotten 2 comics and both were BMB drops. Not sure if all 7 drop, but am certain at least 2 do.

    I open on average 20-50 red/blue mystery bags a day and have never gotten a single superhero collection item to drop. :(
