Two days ago The Raven decided to grace himself on my account. I then realized how difficult or expensive it was going to be to get the Requiescat in Peace Centesumus (1). No wonder they called this thing something that most wouldn't know how to pronounce. If we can't say it we may not bitch about it!
Q: Can I fight the Assassin again immediately after I beat him?
A: No. There is a three-day waiting period before you can find his trail again and hunt him down.
This is some more Zynga bullshit. Assuming I get The Raven and beat him every three days, it will take 294 days and I the earliest I could get the achievement is May 2, 2012! I don't think I can put up with the headaches that much longer. One of the things I liked most about the game were the achievements and Zynga found a way to mess with those as they do with everything else that is good.Will Mafia Wars even be around that much longer? According to the latest Application Data results, Mafia Wars lost 159,607 players in the last 30 days. If the downward trend continues as is, they would lose 1,564,149 players in 294 days. There aren't even that many daily players to lose! Unless Zynga changes something, I predict that none of us will ever see the Requiescat in Peace Centesumus achievement.

When I saw that the Raven couldn't be beaten without spending money, I checked on the achievements and they're gone from my list
ReplyDeleteI'm still upgrading my properties in Brazil, because it takes a long time if you don't use the cheat-n-ator. So it warms my heart to see Zynga finally came up with something the cheaters can't do in one day.
ReplyDeleteto the above anonymous> usually the people who brag about not being "cheaters" are the ones who are too dumb to use bookmarklets in the first place, or they are of too low level to really matter (did no use any bookmarklet until level 1000, seriously any of you, try spending 5000x3 stamina day by only clicking) or they are people with lame internet connections so their bookmarklets go too slow...99.9 percent times its one of these three, and the 0.01 percent times are Zynga paid people who are paid to try to bring people into spending as much as time as possible with MW (bookmarklet take down the time you really spend with MW since they automate things)...
ReplyDeletewell hopefully zynga will realise, that even credit card players wont get the achievemnet the later side of next year and there will be better free loot by then so they might as well not spend anything on the raven fights. hopefully a week or 2 off them making no money off raven they will do something about it. losing players wont get zynga's attention but i bet losing money will
ReplyDeleteI'm for BM's boss...if the guy says cheaters then i'm sure he is not using BM's...boss BM's are not cheat codes..they are game enhancers...and it only enhances the game..nobody is cheating here..cheat is like getting a one time loot more than once etc...and Zynga a message is very clear if you don't keep the game simple..people will only keep drifting away day by day...u must be worried about the alarming stats of daily players that you are loosing..instead come up with fucked up stuff like Raven fight..who the heck wants to kill him and waste time man...we have much better stuff to do in life dude...
ReplyDeletenot sure what upgrading properties has to do with ppl cheating no cheat as far as i know to chat that. brazil was much much quicker then italy tho finished brazil day before italy so sad. but to topic at hand killed raven last night my 2nd time spent over 8k stam not one stupid sniper blast dropped talk about bad drop rate says drops from fighting and i think from ices used my fingers to fight since book marks are to slow for ices can get more with clicking. still increase drop rate plz how ever did notice knife slashes seem to be 100% in brazil to drop.
ReplyDeleteThis Raven thing... seems to be the strongest indication yet that whoever is managing MW for Zynga is delusional. It is the single worse injection into the game I've seen. But for the Achievements tied to it, we could easily eliminate it entirely from consciousness. I noticed the Raven for the first time since his holiday, while at work... 5 hours left on the timer. Gave him a knife slash, saw I had no hope working out the combos and ignored him. I think the combos do more damage now (?) but that's no use if you can't get the ammo. I predict the Raven will be responsible for increasing the player drop off rate.
ReplyDeleteWell im certainly in no good standing with zynga. They had the nut to take some of the rare collectible items from my account. I'm 3 1/2 years veteran (longer than any player on facebook, considering FBMW hasn't been around for that long) and i have been a loyal player for the whole 3 1/2 years. Considering the problems all players face, it's no shock that they are losing business to companies like Kano Apps. They push alot of buttons and boundaries. I just pray that they get their shit together.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly enough, he popped back into my world after 2 days. Not on my fight list or ops page, but in a banner. So I clicked fight him, and then went about my business icing . Dropped 8 Sniper Shots in the 4 hours I was online. I'll keep harvesting every time he wanders by for a few visits.
