Special Delivery: Stalled Mission Walk Through

Share:

The Limited Time Mission, Special Delivery, starts out with a bang of disappointment and a bug. It only gets worse from there. So much so that I was unable to get passed Part 3. I'm not even surprised. First off, there is a task that requires travel to Chicago. Many players can't do that because they don't have access to Chicago. Then of course the very first part has the the bug riddled objective "Get Support From Your Mafia". I'm so sick of things not working. In addition to this fail, my Family Progression didn't reset.

Part 1
Long Distance Friendship

Rob 27 times. This one is straight forward and obviously we can't rob in Chicago because it's not ready yet. I robbed in New York and had no issues.

Just like the regular non-timed Chicago Missions, the Get Support from your Mafia task doesn't work. You can ask all the friends you want and generate links but the only way I was able to get it done was accept about a ton of Mission requests in hopes that 5 of them would count. I would go to Customer Support but I think they are a little busy because of other bugs. After accepting about 40 or so requests from my ZMC, I eventually got 5 of them to count.

Traveling to Chicago seems easy enough. That is if you have it on your account. Most players trying to do this task were greeted with the "You are unable to travel to this destination at this time. You will need to be more powerful to tackle this zone." message that should really say, "You are unable to travel to this destination destination at this time. You will need to spend more money to tackle this zone".

For your efforts, you are rewarded with 3 pieces of useless junk. 

Part 2

The Enemy Of My Friend

The first task also seems easy enough. Ice 7 opponents. What they fail to mention is the opponents need to be in Chicago but I guess if you don't have access you would never get to Part 2 anyways. I noticed that kills are now counting as two ices for the Mission. In the past you didn't get any credit for a kill.

Declare a war 6 times is a bit excessive. You can declare one war every 8 hours so you will need to wait this one out for at least 2 days if you are right on time every 8 hours. At least we don't have to win the war because many players, including my self can't even ask for help. This bug has been around for a while now and it doesn't look like Zynga is doing anything about it. When you try to ask for help, you get a defective help button and some spinning bullets that won't go away.

Do the District 1 job, "Dispose of the Bodies" five times. You will need one Body Bag to do each job. The Ruby Level cost is 216 energy per job. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.

Part 3

Payment Is Its Own Reward

I don't know who the genius was that came up with the first objective but they really need to be spanked. Everybody knows that robbing in brand new destinations requires patience because players need to unlock their properties. It even says so on the Chicago Robbing Page and Zynga decided to make robbing unavailable at this time. How the hell are we suppose to rob when it's not even available?

I tried to rob individual players but nobody was listed as having any properties.

I refuse to pay 60 Reward Points to complete this post so I'll wait for someone to pull their head out of their ass and fix it. Maybe I'll go blog about Mafia Wars 2 which I hear is live now. On second thought that would be the stupidest thing ever. I feel I have a defective product in the original Mafia Wars so why would I go set myself up for misery again. It would be the equivalent to buying a Ford two times in a row.
