This would have been awesome about 36 hours ago but better late than never. The Official Mafia Wars Blog runs through the details of the new Family Progression feature. A lot of us have already figured it out and I outlined all the details here and here. There is still no FAQ from Customer Support.
We figured it was a slow roll as not all Families have the feature. Here is what Zynga had to say about it.
Details About the Roll-out
We're eager to give every family the chance to gather collective experience, but, as with all new features, we need to roll it out slowly to ensure stability. Fortunately, we're starting with one of our highest starting percentages ever. 50% of families, chosen randomly, received the Family Progression feature last night, and we will be rolling it out to the rest as soon as we can. So, if your family doesn't have Family Progression yet, it will very soon. We will be tweaking the feature based on player feedback, making a survey available once every family has received Family Progression./The Official Mafia Wars Blog
Here is what they had to say about the feature in regards to progression. Basically each Family member can contribute a total of 2,400 experience a day by clicking on all the possible collect buttons. The timer runs out for the individual but Family progression is not reset.
As with mastery events, you don't get to collect unless and until you have filled the bar. Unlike mastery events, Family Progression does not disappear when the timer runs out. When the timer reaches zero for a given period, you and your family will have earned the experience you collected by clicking the "Collect" buttons that you triggered, the timer resets, the leaderboard on your family page resets, and a new opportunity to collect as much experience for your family as you can begins! It is challenging, but entirely possible, to earn the full 2,400 experience points for your family each period just by doing the things you normally do in the game!/The Official Mafia Wars Blog
And a final message of encouragement. I like the feature so far and hope everyone will soon have it.
We're excited to bring this new layer of experience and rewards to Mafia Wars, especially because they come from doing the things you already do! The fun part for you and everyone in your family, then, will be developing a strategy for how to work together to level up your family faster than it would happen naturally.
We hope you enjoy Family Progression,
~The Mafia Wars Team

Yeah! Probably as fast as the new fighting module or the Crack the Safe event. So will be a wonderful five week wait for this.
ReplyDeletehappy about this, you need all members in family to participate...
ReplyDeleteThey say its rolled out to 50% of mw players and they rolled back 1% due to war loot....I think its the other way around lol
ReplyDeleteStill zynga havent told us what the total xp needed is to fill the bars. at 100+200+300 u get for mastery. That is a 600total per player on each bar.
ReplyDeleteBut how many members is needed to max each of the 4?
Suport have no clue, and they tell us that each new level will need more xp then the one before.
How will this impact smaller clans?
The perk aint given for filling the top 10 list right ?
Eagerly waiting for the new module.
