Yesterday, I was praising Zynga for adding the Special Part to the Free Gift Page and finally getting rid of those ridiculous Mystery Animals
(1). The Free Gift Page was starting to look alright. We had 3 Brazil consumables, 2 fighting boosts and our beloved Special Parts.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what they did to it today. WTF are they thinking? Not only are the Mystery Animals back but so is the Satchel of Lira. What's missing are the fight boosts. That's crazy!
This move becomes even more laughable when you attempt to send your mafia boosts from the fighting page. Go try it, I'll wait.....Yep! You get directed to the Free Gift Page that doesn't have a boost in sight. You can still generate feed requests to get up to 10 attack boosts a day but that's not quite the same. Especially when you factor in that you can only ask for boosts when you have zero.
They did add two Brazil consumables, the Radio Phone and the Satchel Charge, but yesterday there were three (Gas Cans, Button Cameras and Local Informants) on the Free Gift Page. We need all of them so why remove any? Did they think we wouldn't notice the take 3 away add 2 back trick?
The changes aren't all bad, they finally added the Construction Worker which would have been really cool two months ago when most of us were upgrading our Hold Outs! I'm happy for those who are still working on it but really? They could have added a new property so we would have a use for them.
They also took away the old gifts, so if you haven't finished upgrading all of Brazil, you can no longer get the construction parts like the reinforced steel power tool and concrete blocks
ReplyDeleteI should have added in the above post that the Italy building supplies are also gone. For newer players (I am only level 750 after 6 Months)it makes the game pretty silly to spend time in. For brand new players, I can't think of any reason for them to start, unless they have a lot of room on their visa cards. It seems obvious that is the goal, to pull real money from us, making the game otherwise useless to play. Maybe it will work, I think it will probably end up burning me out and that I will leave it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best update I have seen in ages!
ReplyDeleteJEN LEAVE THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ALONE!
I have 50 BRAZIL wooden planks and need as many construction workers as I can get to finish the properties!

at least the missing building supplies are all giftable via links, so it would be a good time for those still needing them to find out about linking... but there's a tutorial on that right here somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI've only been doing links a couple of months and have powered through casino, village and all giftable items in Brazil.
The construction workers are a welcome addition.
