Understanding the Facebook API Changes

Share:

The countdown to the new Facebook API is ticking. Only 3 more days remain until we see the effects on Mafia Wars. Although 10 minutes long, the video below does a wonderful job of explaining the upcoming changes in an educational yet entertaining manner. It helps the viewer understand what is going on in simple terms. For the not so savvy computer people, you don’t need to understand PHP, SDK, FQL or source code to get the gist of it. Hopefully many of the issues we have been experiencing over the past few months will be resolved but new issues will surely arise. All we can do is wait and see if Zynga properly prepared.

  1. All I can say is that since the landowner has the right to change the landscape at will, sooner or later "Bob" will get sick of it and quit building there. After all, it's not really "free" if it costs you development time to chase after every single change the landowner makes.

  2. Yeah, right! Zynga don't seem capable of sorting their own screw ups let alone someone else's... why all the recent surveys about playing via mobile devices if they have everything in hand... like you say, the clock is ticking... we will know soon enough!

  3. constant and unchanging - Facebook may not be sure - but for the retarded muppets at zynga (who seemingly could not organise a piss-up in a brewery and think common sense is the loose change for the office vending machine) change only seems to occur when enough VIPs kick up a stink
    It is interesting to note that it is only zynga apps that I experince loading issues with - multiple white pages, multi[ple secure connection fails = the issues we are experincing are not facebook's fault they are zynga's

    1. Interesting indeed. I have often asked myself that very same question. WHY is it ONLY Mafia Wars that has all these amazing errors and problems?? If this is a general problem... shouldn't ALL games be affected equally? Why is it only MW that has these problem?

      I have even posed the question to MW support 100 times too. Never got a straight answer of course. But every time they boil it down to either browser issues or computer issues. Their system isn't detecting any issues AT all... how the hell can we experience all these errors, without their system showing ANY problems?? They are full of crap and their arrogance is off the charts. and this is just another proof that they don't give a rat's ass about anything. We have a million issues... ONLY in MW...and they tell us that their system is not showing ANY signs of errors? The only reason I can think for them to be doing this is, that they are covering their own asses from lawsuits. IF they were to admit to all these errors, I am sure a lot of players (especially VIP players and none-script users) would file massive lawsuits against them and demand their money back which they have paid for a game that doesn't work. But by sticking to the lie that nothing is wrong with the game, even though thousands of people are telling them that there is... they just deny, deny, deny and deny and stick to the lie. Clever monkeys indeed. But not very nice. But I guess nice isn't a prerequisite to dealing with customers at Zynga HQ

  5. Jeez peeps... FB owns what Z does why are U all upset, maybe because your mini's go away and no longer for a short period of time can serial level. If I'm correct if U would abide by the TOS then U wouldn't worry. Come on the developer's of ur script's u all use will come up with a solution....... Don't let the fear get you. Thing's will return back like they are now and don't let the fear of Mafia women scare you. She once was great at good news news now it's nothing but doom and gloom.....Maybe Miss ML you need a break and let us single one account users have some fun...........GET IT! Good bye Mini's I'll enjoy the gaane for at least a short period off time LMAO!

    3. sounds like you are a zynga employee who has sweet fuck all comprehension of the game and even less comprehension of what the video was about.= FB owns what Z does??? what utter crap - I will type this slowly and use an example that even you should be able to understand FB is like a landlord who rents appartments and zynga rents an appartment from FB.

  6. I don't agree with this video. They said Bob was the bad guy for not realising that Facebook could changes things on him at any time as it was his land. That just means Bob misunderstand the situation. You might even be able to call Bob and idiot. But he wasn't a bad guy. He was just trying to help people out.

    I joke of course. This video was rather helpful TBH.

  8. I'm playing a direct action game beside MW, and I do have less issues there then I ever had with MW!
    The game became very boring now, and I play only from time to time to keep connected with all the great folks I've met out there!
    I also had, and still have in mind to quit MW for good!
    There are many other games available, providing even more fun!
    MW doesn't request working brains anymore! No strategy needed. Just click like dumb and crazy as much as you can on the stupid buttons available all over the game!
    MW is no more challenging same it was in the beginning!
    A game is a challenge when you must and need to use your brains to play the game with success and being successful!
    Real time Naval Games are providing me more satisfaction now!

  9. Just have to comment...To Anonymous on it is only Zynga apps..that is incorrect. I admin in many groups non related to MW or Zynga and have several issues with folders and loading issues. Though every one wants to blame Zynga and Zynga is well not user friendly so to speak...The foundation is FB...FB dings you for commenting, Fb dings you for having friends...and so on....
