Family Boss Fight Glitch

Share:

A few posts down, I posted images from an account that had unreleased Family Boss Fight loot (1). This seemed impossible as the 2 new Bosses haven't been released.
The two new unreleased Family Bosses are Dr. Sarah Swift and the Ice Queen. Although these Boss Fights aren't officially out, some families were able to participate in them. These images are not from the Zynga servers but from a players account.
Here is an image from the same account with all 6 Boss Fights going at the same time.
This was possible because there was a glitch and players who took advantage of it were able to do any Boss Fight they wanted as many times as they wished without having to pay for cool down timers. Zynga has since fixed this glitch. The process was easy and involved changing some of the html code around.
As far as the super rare items that many players have acquired, I'm not clear if this is also a glitch or if certain families have very special Customer Support agents on their payroll. It appears that the account I highlighted in my original post was not unique and there are many more out there. If you find them, they will most likely be in the same families. Because of the glitch shown above, it is possible that so many Boss Fights were completed that eventually these players got the rare items. You can see there are quite a few of the other Family Boss Fight loot items in this account.
If you ask any of these players how they got their rare loot items, they will claim Customer Support was responsible. After learning about the glitch shown above, I don't believe it for a second.

  2. Sorry, i don't buy it. What are the odds that NO ONE has joined any of the 6 fights? All of them are at full health, with 0 entrants.

  3. @Marco, those images were taken from a mini family of one while testing the glitch. I don't think I would be able to get my hands on family utilizing the glitch. This just explains how and why a lot of players have unreleased boss fight items.

  5. Can Zynga say "Roll Back"? Seems at least as major as the War Help glitch.

  6. These Families should be reported to Zynga so Zynga can roll their members back.

  7. "OH GOOD LORD HOW YOU FRUSTRATE ME LEONARD HOFSTADTER...!"

    Furious at this shit. The whole feature is made wrong to start with. The collector in me screams in frustration every time I accidently see these stupid items. They should be made into "mastery items", which EVERY member of the family gets One of each after the family's beaten the boss a certain number of times, or the specific family member has been in a certain number of fights with a score at > 600 (so boosts at least have been sent out a little) or something like that = eliminating the need to not have people getting them to often and then unbalance the field and the HUGE jealousy if only one member of the family gets one randomely when it's a team effort where all have contributed. Or it needs to be made into a redeemable item for a certain amount of score gained from total bossfights _once_/item.

    I can't ever understand what this way of having it will be any good for....... especially when the bosses are removed when new bosses replace them. :/

  9. Why do some families get to have so many Boss Fights while others only have one or two?

    Come on Zynga, let's "Level the Playing Field"!

  10. Poster #1, if you read this blog you should know that cheating is impossible. I mean, seriously, what would constitute cheating?

  11. They were so quick to roll back players for the cheesy war loots that abrely made you stronger, but this is allowed to go on? WOW!

  12. The key is if you know java language then you can change some of the codes and who knows it might be a glitch what you will be looking for

  13. Wow, I was lucky enough to get one death card and was very happy. Couldn't imagine the multiples and all four. Scamming bastards.

  14. I sure hope that Zynga doesn't roll me back and punish my success.

  15. Is it any wonder the ordinary players get cheesed off a want to leave the game. They wouldn't know the first thing about manipulating code and probably dont have the numbers in their families to do the boss fights. The smaller families get nowhere fast because the boss fights and family fights are all geared towards those that have 100 members. A family of 20 has zero hope of progressing.

  16. not sure whow the boss or family fights are geared towards fams with 100...most major fams if u look dotnt have 100 people,and the1s i know of that do loads of boss fights normally have the same 10 or so doing most of the damage routinely,battles are all up to individual strenght..and damage u do depends on loot u get,so really comes down to just having a few large players,with massive stamina for bosses,and a few strong players to help in battles,and to pick battles wisely and then all families have a chance at anything..either way done over 100 boss fights on several accs and yet to see a top itam..and most fights i was top or top 3 at worst so dr5op rate does seem unfair,and the idsea presented above seems best..leave those 200/200 item,s as mastery items for doing a certain # of bosses
