No More Family Battle Rewards

Share:

A little over 2 days ago, Zynga added some incentive to the Family Battle feature and offered loot rewards (1). The Home Page banner was changed and siad "Fight And Be Rewarded!". If you bothered to read the fine print is clearly stated that "For a limited time, earn rewards for every battle!".
They weren't joking when they said "For a limited time". Our family noticed that none of us got the option to collect a reward on the last battle. I immediately went to the Home Page and saw the banner was back to the way it was before. Once again there is no reason to do Family Battles unless you're into silly animal badges.

  1. Its rubbish the way the withdrawal has been implemented. Our clan had a battle overnight and some were able to collect and award and some weren't. Hardly fair at all!!

  4. I say boycott family battles. Zynga is so much into metrics, they will see when nobody does these battles anymore.

  6. it seemed like nobody wanted to fight even when we had the loot. now it will just be ignored like before which isn't a terrible thing because the battle module is a slow, clunky, bug riddled mess anyway.

  11. Haider: Do you REALLY think Zynga'd enjoy inserting all that code into battles just so we could get some specialized loot that can't help most of us anyway...? I don't think so. Zynga's mistreatment of their fan base, abuse of their coding and their dwindling revenues will be the end of this and other games.

  12. Zynga doesn't give a flying flip about what WE think. The only thing they want from you is the money. No matter how many times I have complained to Zynga I never get a response that tells me they fixed the problem. Just the "developers are working on it." So, if the 18 million of us leave the game maybe they will finally get it right ... or maybe not.

  13. My family has done a single battle. Not everyone participated. Those who did were frustrated about the way we lost. We have never again had any other with incentives or without them...

  15. families were probably abusing the rewards.. if they don't limit it to 5 rewards per week maximum.. there will be much abuse with the 1 hour battles.. just battle a dummy clan or battle a conspiring clan.. 1 hour.. collect loot.. lather rinse repeat..
