Mark Allan found an interesting image in the servers. Looks like we will get a new event called The Bandit. Like most new features in Zyngaland, this one seems confusing but it will be fun to have new content!
That's why my city crew "banner" line is mucked up I gather. The 2nd crew spot for each type has been on a 2nd line all day. I'd upload a picture, but other than putting it on fan page I see no way of doing that.
When you are doing jobs, underneath the job where the loot you earn pops up, the bandits will show up there, you hover over it and then click on eliminate to get rid of the bandit. This uses ONE crew member you have banked up each time you click eliminate. (which means it's going to possibly use them up faster!) You have 5 minutes to click eliminate and there are 3 types of bandits (some steal xp, steal loot or block you from a job). This seems to be for all Brazil cities, not just the secret districts. I'm kind of paraphrasing, hope this helps a little bit!! :)
This Bandit thing is attached to the Secret District. What really screws things up is the fact that the Recruit button is tied into Requests rather than posting it to the wall like it used to be. This feature will most certainly cause a lot of people a whole load of grief, especially people with small mafias. There goes the Daily Active User numbers right down the toilet.
this event is sofa king we todd ed. I wonder what the qualifications are for becoming a Zynga developer, clearly common sense is not one, this is going to drive more players off

Ha! You spoketh too soon! The Bandit is quite possibly the most annoying new feature they have ever come up with. It makes the game practically unplayable...
more ridiculous programming to waste crew in Chicago & Brazil. I am waiting for the money hungry asses to put them up for sale as every thing now is devoted to mooching dollars out of our Pockets, {TAZE} GF/Founder "chef the ox"
This could drive me away from the game...I felt my blood pressure go way up as soon as it appeared. This game was fun...now it is becoming stressful and too much like work...so why play?
For me, the bandit has only showed up when I click the "do job" button fast. If I click it slowly and wait for the job to register being done, I have yet to get the bandit. This feature feels like a way to punish those that use the auto-clicking tools (and those that apparently just click too fast and get punished anyway for playing the game the way zynga intended it to be played).
I want to thank you Zynga. Yet another Secret District that I won't doing. More begging. Clearly Zynga doesn't get that we want to play the game not spend all our time begging for this, that and the other. I think that as far as MW goes, Zynga has really lost it's way and forgotten what the game is about. ~ Jenny (~ADM~)
Well done, Zynga! I started playing Mafia Wars before any other Zynga game, but all the others I've tried managed to annoy me enough, sooner or later, that I quit them, but I kept playing MW. But now it seems the bandit has hit my annoyance threshold. I'm going away for a long weekend with very limited 'net access; if the bandit annoys me when I return, I think it's goodbye to Zynga forever.

ReplyDeletea very creative way to keep us from using repeat job spocklets, until, of course, team spockholm figures it out
ReplyDeleteThis feature has been added to the bookie event. They just added it to the banner. Very stupid and will cause you to use up all of your crew fast.
ReplyDeleteI already have this. And Brazil and chicago crew buttons are now in one so when you ask for crew in brazil chicagos grays out :(
ReplyDeleteOkay...that's pretty bad ass.

ReplyDeleteAnd after finishing it up. The bandit continues to be there. So dont even think about trying to use that tasty 2.22 job to level. :( :(

ReplyDeleteThe first thing you need is an Expansion in Slots in the Queue. That will be the first cry of the players.
