 Mafia Wars Live: Episode 5 (Recap)
Hey Mafia Fans,
Here is a collective list of Questions and Answers from the LIVE show earlier tonight. If you need clarification on any answer of would like to ask a new question, feel free to post in the thread for the July 13th Q&A.
Mafia Wars Live: Episode 6
Quote:
Luis asked: When will there be a Fight Club update?
The Fight Club system is in serious need of an update. but rather than just tack more levels on the top of the system, we are hoping to incorperate it with other features, and adding to it then. The system we are thinking of attaching it to is currently under development, so a fight club update would likely be following that feature’s release.
LittleHater asked: Why have the properties been supplied with high health points and now you reveal my health to attackers?
Health is an underdeveloped stat in mafia wars. As a player, i find it hard to justify spending a single skill point on a single health. These property items give a significant boost to health. There are also items that you can craft that give more than enough stamina to remove said health.
As for the showing of health bars, we were aware that some players would have a problem with this, but it was important for what we wanted fighting to become: A more interactive engaging experience with more decisions than who do i attack, did i win? Powerattack till the button goes away.
Kevesor asked: Why is trading being allowed to die?
PercuesSOZ asked: Why not raise giftable items limit to stats of 60 or 65 and below?
We want to open up more items to gifting and we have this written up and are just waiting for it to be prioritized.
Uscwest asked: Why is the Las Vegas vault capped at 50 Million?
We designed LV to be a rough and tumble city, where your money was never safe, and neither was your target’s. to that end, we put a cap on the vault that would let players keep money needed to continue doing jobs, but not more than that.
Sushivbaby asked: Can we have new events better explained in the future?
Where would people want this information? We try to provide clear ‘Whats This?’ popups and information on the forums but sometimes things fall through the cracks. We’ve also done a few video tutorials... would you like more of those?
DeltaDocter asked: Why do we have to see the ZMC each time we enter the game?
The ZMC is there in an effort to surface social actions and make them more visible and easy to deal with.
Mavinfinity asked: Why can we not control our boosts when robbing?
We’re working on a system that will give players much more control as to when they use boosts. I want to see this expanded to other aspects of the game, but putting it in fighting was just a start.
Kodiak68 asked: Why was the Collectors Loot only made available in the daytime?
This is a new concept that we are testing and making refinements to. We felt like it might make these items even more special if only a select few could own them, rather than the usually items where everyone can have as many as they want. Seemed like a fun concept. But as far as when we release them, we originally picked a time when people buy the most. Because of time issues with players around the world, we decided to release a few more at another time to make it easier for them to get the chance at some of these items.
Jennifer P asked: Was Cole the model for Captain Jack Coltello?
No, Cpt. Jack was the model for Cole.
HorrorFan asked: Are we ever going to have a list of mafia members that we can actually search and filter?
I would like to have this as well. I was updating my top mafia the other day, and it was quite a pain. I don’t know when it would happen, but it is something I want to get done.
LeoWong asked: What is your current top priority to be updated/fixed/added/removed?
We are currently working on fighting, gifting, boss fights, missions, etc... I don’t think there is anything on the chopping block at this moment
FionaWG asked: When will we have information on the Shark Tank in the game?
We absolutely agree with the fact that we should be warning the player about the Shark Tank. Having said that, there are currently some serious efforts on the developers’ behalf to mitigate the shark tank splashdown and make it less painful.
Brighty asked: Can there be a limit set on hitlisting other players?
yes. |

why the frack does the shark tank have to be less painful. Ignore the whiny players who forget this is a fighting game and instead just simply give everyone a good heads up explanation of what happens below 450 and over 450.
ReplyDeletedeltadoctor's question was about getting ZMC popup in every tab/window you open in one session itself (please see the question forum). Which is totally unnecessary and annoying. They didn't answer the proper question.
