UPDATE: This issue was resolved. Welding Torches are back on the Free Gift Page and any old ones that turned into Mystery Bags were returned to your ZMC.
------------------
In addition to nerfing the Secret District, Zynga has also nerfed what little there is left of the Assassin's Academy. The Welding Torches which some players still need are turning into Mystery Bags when you open them.
Welding Torches have also been removed from the Free Gift Page.
There are still 20 hours left to upgrade your Assassin's Academy. There is no other way to get Welding Torches other than to buy them with reward points. The reason this has happened most likely has to do with the one day extension that was given 5 days ago (1). Somebody probably didn't adjust for the extension in the code and the gift was shut off prematurely. If I didn't just witness the crap they pulled with the Secret District a part of me wouldn't suspect they did this on purpose so players would be forced to use reward points if they want to finish upgrading. If it's not intentional then a extension to the Assassin's Academy is owed to the players.

On top of that, I just realized I've screwed myself to the wall by double requesting. I had just double requested the Galvanized Steel and was watching as my alts filled the requests. Dismayed to find that after 3 answered both requests that the any part request started reporting as expired. all the steel-specific requests were counted against the any part request.

ReplyDeletethey show up on my gift page to send out but I've yet to see them show back up in my gifts box, I just had 4 family members send them to me and it said I had a gift from them but when I open the gifts box they aren't there, it's been 20 minutes still no torches :(
