After I completed the Thrill of the Hunt Mission Walk Through (1), I got several e-mails from players stating that all of their Computer Set Ups were missing. Computer Set Ups are acquired through doing the job "Rob an Electronics Store" in the Enforcer tier of New York.
Untraceable Cell Phones and Concealable Cameras are also looted when doing this job.
I checked my inventory and found I only had one Computer Set Up. I didn't take any screen shots before I completed the Mission so I can't say for sure how many I had prior to the Mission. I had plenty of Untraceable Cell Phones so I would think the number of Computer Set-Ups would be close to the same.
To see if this bug has anything to do with the Thrill Of The Hunt Mission, I went to my energy account and took a screen shot of my Computer Set-Ups.
I completed all nine parts of the Thrill of the Hunt Mission and got the Cringe Rifle that will do me no good because I never fight on my energy account.
I went back to my inventory and found all 59,959 Computer Set-Ups were gone. There is something in this Mission that is causing Computer Set-Ups to disappear. We have to loot 8 Computer Set-Ups in Part 3 of the Mission so maybe this causes existing Computer Set-Ups to vanish. If you lost all of your Computer Set-Ups, you should contact Customer Support.

I also lost consumables not only computer set ups but hot tips.I noticed I had 34 of them before I got to the part of the Mission where we had to ask our Mafia for them but when I got to that part I only had 1 in my inventory.The question is,is Zynga putting the Missions in place to steal our loot?I think so but who wants to take screenshots every time a new Mission comes out?I don't and besides they know what's in our inventory before we start the Missions so they should put them back after it's completed.I know 34 hot tips isn't anything to worry about but 59,959 computer set ups missing would make me mad.They have to go somewhere.Are Zynga employees in the business of black market loot?Are they the ones that have been hacking into others accounts and taking items?Is this the reason some players accounts are being banned?The loot has to go somewhere and it probably goes right straight back to Zynga.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Zynga have to still players loot to sell on the black market when they can just create any amount and any type of loot they want????
ReplyDelete10 million plus was gone from my brazil bank and zynge will not do anything about it
ReplyDeleteI am missing hot tips as well as computer setups, Their response "My name is Rene and I\'ll be more than glad to assist you with this! Let me inform you that the Computer Set-Ups are Consumable Items and the reason that you may have none after doing that Mission is that you consume all of them while completing it. Because our system records all the people which present an anomaly while Completing Missions or missing Items. Unfortunately, your account is not reflecting any abnormal activity.
ReplyDeleteI hope that this situation has not disappointed you and that your will continue playing.
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. "
My Computer Set-Ups vanished as well. Here's the response I just recieved:
ReplyDelete"My name is Romeo and I will be happy to assist you. I apologize for any incovenience tha bug caused you, I appreciate you reproting the problem. If your friends also experience that, please tell them to get in contact with us. I'm happy to inform you that I went ahead and credit 30 Computer Set Ups."
I suppose 30 is better than nothing, but I'm sure I had more than that; I have 196 Untraceable Cell Phones, and I've used a LOT more of them than Set-Ups.
Dear Cranky,
