I've seen a few reports of this and have reported it.

Some Families are currently experiencing a bug with the Epic Family Boss Fight. Jeff can not be killed. When it looks like he is defeated, he regenerates his health back to 1,000,000. Nothing resets and there are no loot items to collect. It's as if you are doing a new fight but the old fight didn't reset. I know of four Families experiencing this so it is a bug that can be reproduced. You can see that our Leaderboard is stuck on a previous fight. The score I see on my Fight Page is a total of multiple fights and the Leaderboard is the same one as the fight we were on before this bug hit. There is usually lag with your current score and what shows on the  Leaderboard, but not this much.  Players entering the bugged Boss Fight don't even show up on the Leaderboard so nobody can send them boosts. You can also tell that there is an issue by looking at the timer. We consistently take down the Boss about once and hour or so. It's been over 14 hours since this fight has reset which is very un-{ASS} like. Please comment and include your Family link if your Family is also affected by this bug.
To further demonstrate what is going on, I took a video. You can see we have almost "defeated" the Boss. My score is now over 20,000 and is consistent with what shows on the Leaderboard.
As soon as Jeff is defeated, it takes you to the Boss Page and shows that the health is 1,000,000. There is no collect button for any kind of reward.
I left Mafia Wars and came back in a new window and clicked "Join the fight" from the Home Page. You can see the timer did not reset to 7 days.
My score is still adding up from multiple Boss Fights but on the Leaderboard, it went back to the original fight that we are stuck on.

  1. Family: Ice Age

    Experienced the one posted above where my score in the fight page doesn't match with that of the Leaderboard doesn't match. I ignored it and continued fighting. Then proceed with other task (rob/jobs/ice/etc). When I went back to the Boss Fight, my stats was correctly posted in the Leaderboard.

    Minor glitch, imho.

  3. Our Family completed a fight and we didn't get any loot. Many have written emails to support with no response. Why start another fight if there is no rewards??

  4. Our Family just won another fight - but there was no loot from Zynga. Many emails sent from our members, but no response and loot from Zynga. No one wants to start another fight if there is no rewards!

  6. [LCN] has the problem as well, however the 3 to 1 exp to stamina ratio is better than anyhwere else, so not a bad place to use it.

  7. EZ World also have the same problem.

  9. Our family got has the same issue for over a day. Much to my surprise when I reported it to live chat they said they knew nothing of it and they would let the developers know. When I said that we should have had him killed 4 times over they still said they would let the developers know and compensate us. Boy did I feel like a real asshole when I thought the issue was resolved and started doing the boss fight again only to have it reset on us again going back to square one. Shortly after we were all Zynga'd with the 24 hr cool down timer. I really phooking hate ZYNGA and wish that they weren't all about the money. Anyone know of any other free game on the internet that generates more revenue for the owners? (besides that other POS game, farmville)
