One thing we can be certain of in Mafia Wars is that if we like something....it will be nerfed or removed. The Power Packs are no exception and are now on "Phase 2" of the "Power Pack Experiment". Why can't they just admit we are on "Phase 1" of the Power Pack nerf? Now there will be two test groups. One group will have 8 hour Power Packs that will refill stamina to 50%, the other 16 hour group will get a 100% stamina refill.

 Power Packs: Phase 2We are now entering Phase 2 of the Power Pack experiment! Power Packs can be considered an upgraded Stamina Pack, so we're excited to figure out the proper balance for this powerful feature. The entire player population has been assigned new roles in the experiment, which means you may no longer have Power Packs if you did in Phase 1. In Phase 2, if you do have Power Packs, you could have one of two variations: A) Power Packs that provide a 50% stamina refill every 8 hours. B) Power Packs that provide a 100% stamina refill every 16 hours. In both test groups a Power Pack will continue to provide a 200% health refill every 10 minutes if one chooses to use them to restore their health. Also, any remaining unused Stamina Packs will now reward a mystery bag when redeemed. Entering Phase 2 means we are getting closer to determining the proper balance and releasing some form of Power Packs to everyone. We appreciate your patience. The feature can be discussed in this forum thread. Last edited by Cerulean Master; Yesterday at 09:31 PM. |
Zynga forgot to mention the "third test group". The players who got shafted and no longer have any Power Packs or never got them in the fist place. Here is what Mike Nestors Power Pack now looks like.

Looks like I'm in the third group - no power packs or stamina packs. Least I now know I'm not alone.

Well I thought was shafted too, but you are only partially shafted. Lootlady mentioned before about a link to create stamina packs:

This should let you send stamina packs, but you have to hope the person sends back. :)
im very happy LOL, i will have more time outdoors...
ReplyDeleteI'm in the 3rd group. I complained to CS about not being able to get stam at all when others could during a 2x loot weekend (I'm maxed but they don't need to know that) and got an email back asking me to make sure my cache was empty, my java was updated, etc. I have let them know that I'm pretty sure that emptying my cache will not cure their dumbassedness...still waiting for a reply to that one.
ReplyDeletenice...this means i would have less time playing mafia wars...1hr-2 times...keep it up, Zynga...LOL
ReplyDeleteyeah, your lucky to have something, you've had a power pack for about now, me and my friend? we can only dream
ReplyDeleteIm in the third group as well HOWEVER I found out yesterday if you hit old stamina pack links they still work . Havent tried it this morning but they were working last night
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why we can have 10 Stamina Packs in Stock, yet we can only use it once every 16 hours, so what is the point of having 10???
ReplyDeletefook off zynga, I am done with the game.
ReplyDeleteI logged into 2 of my other accounts that had them and they are now gone. Wish they would make up their minds on to what they were doing
ReplyDeleteNo power pack and no stamina pack, no family progression either, so not much there to help level up. Just played for 1 hour yesterday. Blew a bit of stamina on the family boss fight so available stamina ran out quickly which made it even more difficult to level up and cannot participate much in icing event.
ReplyDeleteI got shafted!
ReplyDeleteWell i guess you can say i am in the forth group,i do not have either of the old stamina packs,when i click on the new power-stamina packs i get a mystery bag.....
