In a previous post, I mentioned that a ice counter was added to the Home Page
(1).
I was a little confused as to where the number 800 came from. You can see on a account that isn't playing the event, the second number indicated how many ices you need to master the level you are working on.
According to the Reward Page, you need 10, 30, 100 and 200 ices to master the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Ruby levels. Since you need 1,000 ices total to get the bonus loot item, there must be carry over so the total ices add up to 200 for the first 4 levels then 800 are needed to go from the Ruby to the Diamond level. Therefore, you need 10, 20, 70, 100 and 800 ices to progress to each new level.
I finally got there and was rewarded with the Talking Stalk. What I found interesting is that your ices are still being tracked on the Home and Reward pages even after you complete the event. It would be really cool if they took these statistics and named some of the top ices during the duration of the event. I also wish they would color in the diamond. Stuff like that bugs me. I earned the right to see a pretty diamond on my screen and not a shadowed one.
Once you finish, be careful not to click on the Replay for 60 RP button. I don't know if they added a verification popup or not. It's too bad Zynga isn't letting us replay this event for free. They would probably make more money in the long run if they had. I know I purchased quite a few stamina refills to get it done.
It was a fun event and I would have kept going and buying more stamina refills. A benefit of the event for me was that I just about maxed out on high end fighting loot. There really isn't a need for me to fight anymore. Replaying the event multiple times would have given me and a lot of other players a reason to keep fighting.
. I earned the right to see a pretty diamond on my screen and not a shadowed one. What by letting a program get you 1000 ices. In my eyes the sript deserves to see it coloured in.
ReplyDeleteWell I probably won't get the chance either - still don't have the Event *sigh*
ReplyDeleteAnonymous please, people who get 1000 ices manually are not normal, they must sit like 16 hours a day in front of MW, sorry I have a life and would much rather let brawler do the work for me, if it wasn't for brawler and repeat job I would have quit the game a long time ago
ReplyDeleteThis event has'nt yet loaded for me...
ReplyDeletestill waiting here for the event lost over day now never had to wait this long.
ReplyDeleteBut the people that do manually deserve the rewards fighting brings. People just want the loot and haven't got the time or patience to fight. better ways to get xp then fighting. I hope they crack down on people using scripts or clarify what is expectable.
ReplyDeleteBrawler stopped working today for me?
ReplyDeleteWill check tonigh if working again.
Had to do to Silver Manually so far ahhhhhh

What city do you attack in, and what do you set the levels too? Mafia Size? Player Level? Default is 1-501 for Mafia Size, and Player level is Default 1 to 9999.
ReplyDeletehow fair is it that some have had this event for 36+ hours and others of us are still waiting for it? Shouldn't we get more time to complete it? Really Sux Zynga!
ReplyDeleteStill waiting here
ReplyDeleteme too, i dont have
ReplyDeleteI don't have it either.. what the hell. I'm starting to hate Zynga
ReplyDeletethis absurd what zynga is doing, those that don't have it now have to get more than 100 ices a day, brutal stupid.
ReplyDeleteThanks for contacting Zynga Customer Support.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Lisa and I would love to help you today. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing with Mafia Wars. I am sorry but the reason for the purchase for the Ice Mastery Event, is for the items that you will receive from the event. The items are high stat and rare items, and do get then items more than once form the event, will cost you only 60 Reward Points. I understand your frustration.

After you do the Event five times and get 5 Talking Stalks, the event simply disappears from your MW home screen.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your ice posts goes back to the normal one.
mmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI've burnt 10k in stamina in Italy and brazil and still not 70 ices for gold yet?
I have over 8000ices and 140k attack.
This is all with brawler...should I be in NY or Las Vegas?

why its so hard to ice nowadays????
ReplyDeleteI still don't have this fuckin event activated for me...Zynga are you there?? Is this the way u treat ur loyal players...my fucked up secondary which is not even crossed level 50 has this event..but me @ lvl 1500 does not have it..wtf is goin on man?
ReplyDeleteIt's very hard to ice people nowadays coz everyone seems to have thousands of health.
ReplyDeleteMW can benefit from:
1) damage based on actual personal strength; and
2) A Mega-Power Attack button that does 50 normal attacks.
Brawler isn't the best way to get ices.. it's too slow, with the minimum interval at 1 second between attacks. I know you can put zero in that box, but i've been reluctant to do that. Ironically, i get more warnings from zynga about "abnormal clicking behavior" when i'm fighting manually. I've never gotten that sort of warning when using a bookmarklet, though i'm careful not to do tasks in multiple tabs.
