On April 7th, Zynga rolled out yet another feature called Crack The Safe. After the initial eye roll and frenzy to figure it out, I realized this feature was a pretty good one. All you have to do to get a great loot item is add 5 friends to your mafia.
This is a pretty easy task for most mafia players. What makes this Crack The Safe much better than the last one is that you can redo it as many times as you want. I continue to watch my mafia talk about how many of these great loot item they have gotten already. Many players, including myself , still don't have this feature. Four days is an unacceptable time to miss out on the opportunity to improve my stats. There are 5 possible loot item rewards and you can see below that I have zero of them! I'm just waiting for Zynga to nerf this feature and it won't be fair to players who weren't able to participate when there were no limits.
The only nice thing about not having it is there are no threats to my Facebook account. So many have gotten the dreaded ban from Facebook which comically demonstrates the disconnect between Facebook and Mafia Wars. Leave it to Zynga to create a feature that puts us at risk of losing our Facebook accounts and therefore our Mafia Wars account. Could this be the reason why so many don't have the feature?
I don't have Crack the Safe
ReplyDeletei've cracked the safe 10 times already, and i'm working on getting more. as for Facebook, the best way past it is to ask friends to suggest mafia for you or for someone to pimp you out. that's how i've avoided it
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS UPSETTING INSULTING AND TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!
ReplyDeleteSome players are given the chance to loot 10-20 items a day while others get behind and just watch...so ugly so so ugly

i have been watching people post these as well and as of yet still do not have it myself. this is getting to the point where i am not wanting to be bothered with the game anymore. yesterday i had 7 skillpoints and a few lcd's disappear from my acct. so...yeah getting real old real fast :-\
ReplyDeleteI have the feature but the list of adds does not change, even though I have invited them a number of times. This feature will not do me any good if Zynga does not update based on other friends who are not in MW.
ReplyDeletean obvious try from Zynga to get some more new players to play so that the numbers don't drop that drastically, a last spasm
ReplyDeleteJenni - Can you and PAC ask Zynga what is the deal with these slow unfair roll outs? I understand with the volume of players, and several different servers that it's impossible to roll out simultaneously, but this ridiculous! Thanks, AJ Bryant
ReplyDeleteI don't have Crack the Safe too... I do not understand why Zynga give out this items on this esey way... We normaly have to work hard or spend RP to get somesmal powerd items.
ReplyDeletea player allredy collected 157 items from Safe Cracking in the first 40 hours. Tell me how fair it is...

been waiting for this a long time now...
ReplyDeleteWhen Zynga makes changes to the game they always use "Balancing the game" as an excuse, so i guess I and all the rest who hasn´t the Crack The Safe or Mini Packs will get it some ekstra days in the end to balancing the game.I still not have the Mini Packs or Crack the Safe and therefor getting no Mysterybag when i send people the energy they ask for and no rewards for adding people . It seems rolling out new things is with the same speed as they fix bugs.I wonder how they are capable to roll out new events so fast, when every other things take several days or month to fix
ReplyDeleteI jumped all over this when I saw the loot I was getting. I picked up 18 items today with 95-100 A/D, 10 yesterday and 5-6 the day before...now the safe disappeared. Glad I trusted my instincts on this one and milked it for what it was worth
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have picked up the A/D I did through fighting or operations...even with the new loot!
Wtg last anon, i would have done the same!
ReplyDeletewoof
The only friends who it will let me ask are not active in mafia wars but have played mafia B 4 so imo its Z's way of trying to gain those people back into the game.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever Zynga's reason for the Crack the Safe, we should all be given the same opertunity to have a go, Zynga has forgotten it's loyal players and has chosen to take on all the script writers ie 25 stamina power attack, gifting 50 items ect ect, zynga cant win this war, so why dont they get on with what the do best and produce a better game for us all to play. On a lighter note may I take the time to thank you Loot Lady for all your help in the game, without your up to date information I'd be at a loss :))
