By now we should know The Raven isn't easy to find. I've eluded to this in several posts from my own experience and to what other players have been telling me. Customer Support told us earlier today it wasn't easy.
Overall, players don't like this type of unknown in Mafia Wars. If they want to tie it into fighting, then tell us you need X number of ices to get The Raven. They shouldn't make their players worry and wonder if something is wrong. If I wanted to silly play games, I would look elsewhere as there are plenty of them out there.

The Knife slashes, bloody knuckles, bat cracks and shotgun shells keep disappearing too.
ReplyDeleteAny chance the bookmarklet is not showing the pop-up, and he disappears again for not fighting when the button is available? Similar to brawler missing pop-ups.
ReplyDeleteget it yesterday , only to have it crash before it's completed. now tell us to keep iceing . sounds like they are trying to keep us busy while they get it straight.
ReplyDeleteNope, we checked that out. Did a lot of manual fighting. Once it appears it should stay for 8 hours.
ReplyDeleteand not onlu that to mention....how the heck (for almost 2 weeks now)me a level 460 player should compete against people 1000's of levels above mine.how can i keep playing with these terms?dare to speak about brawler and stuff?look at this messalmost a year i was building att and def and now is all worthless cause i fight with sharks.so it is not only this fight event.its the missions its everything...desperate
ReplyDeleteDear dude above me,

*through

ReplyDeletedude, EVERYONE will go through that baptism of fire. jeezus kryst,stop whining!
I finally got my 2nd Raven. I have tons of stamina so am not sure how much I burned before getting him to pop up. Before defeating him, I made sure to run through a few levels in order to build up my stock of boss consumables. Now, I just wait again for the next one...
ReplyDeleteI can't tell: do you get more than one item when you defeat him? IE will you get a chance to loot 100 of these things?
ReplyDeleteGo get em' Jenn! :)
ReplyDeleteI finished the second time and I do have 2 of the item. Not sure if there's a limit we can get but it isn't 1. For the record, I iced about 25 after the popup came up telling me he was lurking.
ReplyDeleteIf you are running scripts like Brawler (yes..none of my accounts have the new fighting on them) how do you know IF you get him. There is NO indication on any of my accounts that he is even available. I've done TONS Of icing and on one account he popped up (after a brawler run). The others not at all. It would be NICE if there was some indication by Zynga on the fighting page that you at least have the roll-out code to even get him. Zynga should be shot for this stupidity!
ReplyDeleteOh my God, people. Let me call you a wahmbulance! Do you really have to have everything the day it comes out? What is wrong with you people? You have months to complete this, so just relax already. Sheesh!
ReplyDeletei got the RAVEN jus after my few ices 5-10 first time..but when i click attack..it doesnt do anything..y so ??
ReplyDelete"how the heck (for almost 2 weeks now)me a level 460 player should compete against people 1000's of levels above mine"
ReplyDeleteDude - We all went through that grind before reaching level 1500 & above..no one can jump straight frm level 1 to level 1000...stop complaining jack ass & work on getting ur mafia stronger by collecting harder loot items...like how u feel we also feel the same way when a level 5000 or 6000 player attacks us...only way is retaliate...do brawler & collect items..it helps..mark my words...
Finish him just today. I have 7:30mins and I kill Him in just 3x health refill
ReplyDeleteI saw it yesterday, went to collect some ammo, made sure I had health,10 minutes later I wanted to start fighting Raven and it was gone and has not been seen since (24 odd hours ago). Annoying, as we can't even use the time to collect more ammo, you can only have X amount, before you can fill up again.
ReplyDeleteAh well. We shall survive. I'll go and play City Ville, which is just as annoying :)
I don't even have Raven on the fight page, can't even think about finding him :)
ReplyDeletei also hate the fighting rules that once you reach level 451,you get attacked by people way higher. it's not fun at all. the people at mw do not care what we think. they make all these annoying spamming events and the game has a huge lag when fighting.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with making the challenge difficult, or making the achievements difficult, but there is something very wrong about making this random, as it seems to be. I would make this an escalating Boss fight - that is, you need to achieve more ices for each time he reappears, but unlike the icing event they have to be new ices - not cumulative. So, if you want to get the Boss for the 100th time you need 1000 new ices (or whatever number) to make him appear. That way at least we know what the goal is.
ReplyDeleteThe randomness is an insult. In fact, there is too much randomness in this game - robbing, tournaments - they all rely on an unknown element. People use SKILL points to build up their characters - when are Zynga going to bring that element of skill back into the game?
If I wanted randomness I'd use my RPs allowance for lottery tickets (real ones) each week. And if this goes on I just might.
So this event will trigger when using brawler (old fight system)?
ReplyDeleteI have tried manual fighting and brawler runs and haven't seen any banners, not even he is coming soon, at all in my game.
I've never had it appear and had to start asking how the hay others were doing it, I was sent this link. Now i understand ... I'm being screwed!!
ReplyDeleteI just got him for a third time. Somethings I noticed.
ReplyDelete1 I have the old fight screen and I got no banners telling me he was close.
2 using brawler didn't help. I wouldn't know if the pop up showed so I could have missed him
3 It seems like he appears after about 1000 ices in a 12 hour period.
4 you get the reward each time.
I am on the new fighting system. Got him and fought with him the first day about twenty minutes before they pulled him. Got him this morning fighting manually, opened him up and used all of my consumables. Had to leave for a bit so I ran something to collect more consumables. Came in and beat him for the first time. He comes back and I'll do it again. If not, just like yesterday, I could give less of a crap.
ReplyDeleteTo the level 460. That's the game, such is life-life is not always fair.
3 days of fighting, and no second drop. Quite simply, the biggest pile of doggy doo that Zynga has ever put into this game. I'm up for a challenge, but this is randomness gone too far.
