Mission Overload: Fix The Bugs First!

Share:

One of the more common Mission bugs involves the loot drop icons on jobs. Players who don’t have them won’t get any items despite how many jobs they do. This is extremely frustrating because the only way it can be fixed is via Customer Support and not all players have access. No matter what type of Mission we always see a few players report this issue. Another issue we see is Missions interfering with each other. Karen McDivitt has the pleasure of dealing with 2 Missions at the same time. In the Mexico City Missions, the 15th Mission requires players to “ACQUIRE 35 COLOR-MOTIN FROM GUADALAJARA” [1].  In one of the Urban Assault Missions players need to “LOOT 30 WINNOW WASP FROM JOB:"PUT AN END TO YOUR EX-MAFIA’S OPERATIONS" [1].  Karen is lucky enough to have the Winnow Wasp icon but the Color-Motin is what’s dropping. Since Mexico City Missions aren’t timed it would be preferable to get Urban Assault item. There are only 4 days left of the Urban Assault Missions and the 6th Family Business Mission is on the way [1]. Zynga needs to once and for all fix the loot drop bug that affects every type of Mission every single time. I hate to think of the issues that having 3 active Missions going at the same time will cause. If they can’t fix this bug then the least they could do is wait to unleash Family Business. The missing icon/loot drop bug seems to be more prevalent in Family Business Missions but fortunately it doesn’t affect all players. In a perfect world Zynga would extend the timer for the Urban Assault Missions and let players enjoy it [1]. Despite the bugs, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

  1. This had me confused too... 15th Mission requires players to “ACQUIRE 35 COLOR-MOTIN FROM GUADALAJARA” I tried doing a lot of random jobs in Guadlahra and didn't get a single Color-Motin... I read the mision task again...and couldn't figure it out... then I checked the City store and noticed they could be purchased in the City Store... VERY confusing it says Acquire them from Guadalajara, when they can be purchased in City Store... I never saw them dropping though... :)

    1. I opened this city mission a few days ago, and I did have the color-motin dropping, though not very frequently. I think I had 4 when I started on the task for the Urban Mission. I bought the rest of the items in the city store & the winnow wasps are now dropping for me.

    2. That's good... must have been a weird hick up with having to loot 2 itmes from the same district... but glad you're getting the Wasps now :) When I was doing this part of the mission... I must have done like 200 jobs without getting a single Motin, lol... I dodn't have any other missions at the time to interefer... but I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't drop... till I saw tit was a City Store item... very poorly worded by Zynga... :)

  2. I also think that they should disable the bosses in Mexico or the spesific district while doing stuff like fam business and the new urban assault, not everyone has killed all the bosses yet and its not very nice when you get the boss and need to focus on getting consumables to kill it while using stamina to either farm consumables or kill the boss.
    Yes we get "rewarded" when the boss is killed, but ill trade that bonus any day for a possibility to disable the bosses while on a timed mission in that district.

    1. up your attack and stamina to 8000+ and 6000+ respectively and use all stamina level up and go again. use consumables as last resort and keep at 50 each, arenas for pipe powers robbing for others fights for others.

  3. This is happening to me now with a lurking Raven. NOTHING, I mean nothing, in terms of mission loot is dropping from any job, it's all Raven consumables. Zynga's made the energy part of this mission really heavy, and I'm low on energy in comparison to stamina, so they've just put me back significantly. I just wish Zynga would sell this game to Spockholm, then we wouldn't have these stupid problems that Zyngoids can't put 2 brain cells together and solve.

  4. Wish they would pull 15th mission and give more time on Urban Assault. Getting to the point that the game is no longer fun at all. I am hoping that those that can contact Zynga will complain enough that they will stop the madness!

  6. Bugs aside, the fact that they won't give players reasonable timers on events is exactly why I canceled VIP and will not pay to play any more, no matter how good they make the RP deals. I have a balanced account. When zynga was taking a look at my account one time, the CS rep complimented me on my stats and said my stats represent what they wished more players would do, in order to enjoy the game properly. I'm stronger in attack and defense, but also have a good supply of energy and stamina, yet, it seems zynga chooses to punish players like me by implementing ridiculously short timers on everything. Only free playing serial levelers with no A&D to speak of, or players who spend thousands a month can complete these events successfully. There's absolutely no balance any more. It's one extreme or the other, and zynga is losing a lot of business from the 'middle class' players in the game.

  7. Beyond frustrating. Makes no sense to have a job that is a 1 or 2 click per energy pool AND loot drops aren't high AND what does drop isn't helping AND like ^ said, boss being active sucks. (I did get a power card loot drop, lucky me)

  8. If you need the COLOR-MOTIN FROM GUADALAJARA for the Mexico Mission and have the Pesos, you can buy them in the City Store and they do count for the mission.

  12. I kept clicking the jobs until I found which job the Colored Motin dropped from. For me it is the second job from the top called Harvest Organs for Smuggling in the Quadalara District. Hope it is the same for everybody!
