The bad news is we got another Limited Time Property called the Oil Rig [1]. The good news is we all got 1 extra day on the timer. The most excellent news is that the ask timer has been reduced! We can now ask for any and individual parts every 2 hours instead of every 8 hours. We’ve been asking for this for years and Zynga has finally listened! The feature will now be more like the Crafter’s Choice and Robbing Spree events. We can only ask for parts 3 times a day (12 parts for each round of asking) but the difference is we will have more control over when we ask. 8 hours timers are very difficult for many players. At this time I’m not sure if there is a time update to how often we can send parts to our mafia members or to the timer on the parts we can collect in the news feeds so please comment if you figured it out. This is the best news we have had in a long time. It’s funny that many assume this might be a mistake but there is a post on the Official Mafia Wars Blog so that can be ruled out [1]. Thanks to Rositsa Georgieva and Owen Parker for pointing this out on our fan page.

I have collected 8 upgrades already, so that seems to have been changed to a 2 hour cycle as well.
ReplyDeletehow many parts can you give out in 24 hours is it 10 every 2 hours or what and why cant I comment on your FB page
ReplyDeleteIt did indeed :)
ReplyDeleteditto collecting upgrades every 2 hours
ReplyDeleteso we need to know if there is a max on this as well...previously we could collect 12 a day...does anyone know?
ReplyDeletethis makes it so easy but I'm complaining will not have to struggle to finish. :-)
ReplyDeletenot good if they dont reset your ability to give parts also.
ReplyDeleteno point in asking if everyone is maxed to give
So you still get the same amount of parts in every feed you ask correct? If so, I might actually consider doing the next limited property
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you can collect more then 3 times from the upgrade posts also, so maybe they are also on a 2 hour timer, because its 2 hours since i collected at first from feeds and now i got 3 parts again.
ReplyDeleteMore on the bad news, there we no longer get the 3 parts bonus on the upgrade.
ReplyDeleteSorry we get it on the level 6th upgrade, my bad
ReplyDeletei've collected free parts 3 times and posted for parts 3 times, people are getting the "limit" response when clicking on my posts....so the free parts are included in the new daily 36 total
ReplyDeletefree upgrade parts are not included in your daily max, 36 from posting and 12 from upgrade posts for a total of 48 a day which is the same as it has always been
Delete52 parts so far sitting on lvl 6 and 8 parts
ReplyDeleteHope you are proud of your script cheat
DeleteThe good news is that every 2 hrs you also get to collect 4 property upgrade parts too and does not count towards your 36 parts
ReplyDelete60 from post 5xs and 20 freebies taking couple of days off
ReplyDeleteOne very nice side effect of all this posting and upgrade links is that you can actually get parts from the upgrade links that the bots hasnt got to due to that you have the same old collection limit inside the 2 hour timeframe sort of, anyway its been much easier to actually max out on upgrade feed parts instead of maybe getting 1 every second day or something or from someone with a very small mafia.
ReplyDeleteSo there is another good thing with this new change to this event.
Made level 6 already 5/30
ReplyDeleteso we really get nothing more than the option to post sooner. typical zynga >Becky needs more Reciprocating Saw to build a Oil Rig
ReplyDeleteYour friend has reached the collection limit for parts today.
As far as how many parts you can give out in a time period, I have made 7 account of which 5 I have tried to keep up to date on the builds. I was never able to do all 5 because of time limits ( days ) or/and not able to give out enough gifts. As I gift myself with all accounts you can do the math. Before I was only able to do 3 accounts ( plus 1 account 1 x a day ) , with this new build I was able to do all 5 accounts 3 x today.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe people are still usein scripts to get upgrade parts what a joke everyone will finish this property within the time so please tell me why you do this ?????
ReplyDeletemade level 8 already! yay!
ReplyDeleteOne fly in the ointment...
ReplyDeleteEven after i have posted my 3x for the day, i still get the option to post every 2 hrs after that. Sounds good, yes, but every post after the 3 is bunk.
In other words... people who are posting auto will post 12x in a day and only the first 3 will be good if they max.
AND... all the people who click auto will be, "clicking", those links that are maxxed before they are even posted.
The auto posting/clicking/commenting is getting very annoying as a result.
However, all in all it is a good change, and upgrading is a lot easier... especially for those of us who work an 8 hr shift and couldn't post 3x as a result of time constraints unless we posted auto. :)
So, when you get "You have sent 10 parts already..." when does that reset? Thanks!
