The Customer Support Death By Ice FAQ is out but the event still hasn't started. Here is a reprint of just the FAQ portion. The rest was posted on this blog yesterday (1). I'm not to happy to see it's going to be a slow roll. How can you have a competition if not all players get to start at the same time? The event is scheduled to end on July 5th.
Mafia Wars Family Icing Event FAQ
Updated 06/29/2011 at 00:07
MAFIA WARS FAMILY ICING EVENT Who is the strongest Family out there? A new icing event will determine the coolest and baddest Family in Mafia Wars. Y’all will need to work together to earn mastery items that will be awarded to everyone in the Family. Extra special rewards will go the top 10 Families. Q: When does the event start and finish?A: The event begins June 28, 2011 and ends July 5, 2011. The homepage banner will have a timer once the event begins. Q: I am hearing that a few of my friends already have this event. How come it is not showing on my account?A: Each time that we launch a new feature it is released to a limited number of people. This is meant to ensure that the feature is stable after it has gone live. Initially not all players will have access to this feature.Q: I am currently in a Family and we already have a lot of ices. Do those ices count towards the event?A: No. Your ices starting from when the event goes live will be counted towards the Death by Ice event. This way, everyone who participates will start from the same spot. Q: If I leave my current Family and go to another Family, which Family gets my ices?A: Your ices that you accumulate during the event with Family A will stay with Family A if you leave. Once you join Family B, any new ices you bring in will count towards Family B |

create an event that is timed and make it a competition and then release it to some players hours/days before other players?! another good idea run into the ground by poor planning, thanks z.
ReplyDeletewell that sucks. how can it be fair if some players get a headstart.... duh Zynga... not real nice to handicap some families by pushing other immediately out in front is it.
ReplyDeleteI have it but no family to join.
ReplyDeleteOk this does not make sense, on one hand, it states not all player will have it, (meaning the event is live) on the second hand out ices don't count to keep everyone who participates starting from the same spot, No wait a minute, So what you are saying is once the event goes live all ices count, that way every one start from the same point right!!!, so even though I don't have the event my ices count because the event is live. RIGHT

ReplyDeleteMY COMMENT= do we still get the 7 days or will we fall short or do the one who start on the 28th get the extra 3 days like last time
Q: I am currently in a Family and we already have a lot of ices. Do those ices count towards the event? A: No. Your ices starting from when the event goes live will be counted towards the Death by Ice event. This way, everyone who participates will start from the same spot.
MY COMMENT= If I am reading this correct the same start point is when the event goes live, hence my ices begin to count whether or not i have the event, like you state " event goes live" RIGHT
Q: If I leave my current Family and go to another Family, which Family gets my ices?A: Your ices that you accumulate during the event with Family A will stay with Family A if you leave. Once you join Family B, any new ices you bring in will count towards Family B
MY COMMENT= so if family A has 30K in ices and I move to family B and they get 30K ices I get double the rewards RIGHT??????????
