A few posts down I listed the new "upgraded" property items that can be crafted in New York. The items themselves aren't upgrades as old items that you have crafted are still in your inventory. The "new" items have Bronze stars in the upper left corners of the image and the stats are higher than the previous item. A few of the images have been inverted. I imagine that there will be future upgrades and we will see Silver, Gold and Ruby starts in the future. There items with stars other than Bronze could be located in the Zynga servers.
Here is a comparison of the old and new buildable property item stats. As stated before, the special abilities have not changed and strategic players will craft for those and not the loot. Basically this update was a waste of time and probably the brainchild of the same guy who designed the Limited Time Buildable Item feature.

maybe the more you buy the better they get?
ReplyDeleteThis is what they do instead of fixing existing technical issues to keep players happy?
ReplyDeleteToo bad it doesn't apply to existing loot of the same. I'd be using some of it again. They need to do an upgrade on the Italy & Brazil loot that can be purchased.
ReplyDeleteYou are 1/2 correct, Loot Lady: The weapon value dims in comparison to the point value...but, for the general populous, if you shop carefully, which item you buy in which crafting spot may be temporarily re-arranged, so as to get that +1or+2 weapon AND still up the points...
ReplyDeleteStill, in the big scheme of things, rather lame...
and again Jen, not everyone in Mafia wars is maxing out on FHEL or farming Cuba, etc..
ReplyDeleteThis is great for low end players who are still working hard to get the stuff to build with, etc.. Tehy get some stats along with the skills if they build smart.
I agree that this is no news for me either as I am farming in cuba :) but Zynga should do more for the newer players in my opinion. I need some fresh meat, bwahahaha
they need to upgrade brazil and italy loots too....... atleast it'll be worth buying...... :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes. please upgrade Brazil and Italy. I have not made but one purchase there, and that was because they made us for a mission. the values of those item suck!!
