Gosh...I rushed right over to comment about my bullet proof vest. And you already had it blogged!!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are great. Especially the lady!
I'm saving up my RP's so i can buy something better than a bullet proof vest.
I heard napalm has an attack of like 25. Gonna get me some of those.
Meanwhile the bombardment of 40% discounts on RP
s goes on. Only they now include 50% discounts with ever increasing frequency.
Sure smells like a desperate effort to make their numbers for the quarter.
Can 60% discounts be far away...all this on a day when I finally got the stamina packs after playing the lower end of the field for the past month or so.
The Zynga game designers have painted themselves into a very dark corner with this game. The grotesque inflation of all the way you get XP's to level...the ease with which skill points are now accumlated...the glut of in game missions, bosses, etc...etc...
How much longer can they continue down this path?
The essence of the game where it took some real effort to level...and skill points were worth something...has long since faded from the scene.
Newbies have no hope in this game. Hence MW2.
Bear in mind, that at the end of the day, Zynga is solely about making money. And they are rapidly discovering that they make lots money early in the games...then it fades as they bury the players in useless activities (play any of the "mature" games).
But never mind...just roll out another and another new game.
Unless they discover how to keep the games playable, the players enthusiastic, and motivated to spend, the great Zynga success story will collapse under it's own dead weight.
Don't give up your day jobs.
Still playing MW but not spending on it.
I think they have handed over MW game design decisions to the sheep in Farmville.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up your day jobs!
Hooooly SHIT a bullet-proof vest. Fuck me, if I didn't have more RPs, I'd buy them till my balls were blue! Can't contain my excitement or my sperm over this deal. Bring on the vests!
ReplyDeletedo we deserved this, this is really insane...
ReplyDeleteLOL at zynga...thanks for the already-nerfed gift. :D

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for your 3 years Of Mafia Wars Free Gift Bullet Proof Vest with 5 Att 8 Def & you wonder why people are fed up playing your games . Why even bother with such a ridiculous Free Gift that Helps Absolutely Nobody. its Like a slap in the face
*gutting herself laughing at the above comments*
ReplyDeleteThanks to both of the anonymous contributors to this post.......it's so true but so funny too....I have been trying to play with multiple handicaps (no stamina packs, no level-up bonuses, finishing ruby in the last secret district and then being rolled back to gold, the list goes on...I now have over 30 complaints about game play on my list for ZCS and no way to get satisfaction or change as the emails I get back make no sense and ask for info already given or screenshots of long past events that could never be documented by a SS and I don't have the time to play and have some RL if I try to get through to live chat..it's a full time job) and the only reason that I even try to play now is to help my small but active family....I can't desert them but I really do want to stop playing...the thrill is gone and it has been for months
i bought 10 more. lmao
ReplyDeleteDoes Zynga's gerosity know no bounds?
ReplyDeleteGift #3 is a tactical shotgun at 3 att and 2 def!
I really hate to seem ungrateful but really, do they seriously think they are doing anyone a favour? Is this what Zynga really thinks of it's loyal, but increasingly cheesed off players?
To think that they are stupid enough to include the buy for 15 reward points link makes me want whatever the hell they are smoking, sniffing or drinking as a reward rather than their poxy, obsolete and useless crap. Do any of them have a clue at all?
