Fight Carnage Rolling Out...

Share:

The Fight Carnage event/feature is available on some accounts and will be rolling out slowly. It's pretty simple to understand and I personally like it (I changed my mind, I don't like it).  Each attack is about 1% of your total stamina and the damage is proportional to how much stamina you use. The reduced heal timer is really cool. It starts at 30 seconds and if you have the New York and maximum Brazil mastery bonuses it can me as low as 15 seconds.  I'm not sure if I like the 5 second delay but you could never do this much damage with the old system in 5 seconds. If you remember Power Job in District 10 of South Africa, this is very much like that. You click the button than wait for it to do it's thing. Assassin-a-Nator still works but will most likely need some minor adjustments to be smoother. The FAQ has been posted and can be found here. There is also a survey you can take and that is here. Based on the survey questions, it looks like Zynga is thinking about making this permanent. If the game runs smoother than I would be all for it (UPDATE: I changed my mind, the poor ratios make this update a moot point, I don't like it). The only bad thing I see in this is that if you lose a fight it will affect your overall experience/stamina ratio and be much more noticeable.

  1. Given that we need fights as a source of drops for the challenge mission, and not everyone (including me) has this yet, this is a major problem.

    1. It a good thing IF you are a serial leveler using Demon 24-7...and since more and more accounts do that... Zynga deemed it necessary to accommodate those accounts, which of most are fakes anyway, so that they will continue playing the game and hopefully then, their main accounts will spend some money on the game once in awhile ... and keep their VIP... nothing else... but to satisfy the Demon accounts..

  3. It should have been added to all accounts at the same time.

  4. Of course you like it...and I am assuming every other stamina monster running their account 24-7-365 in Demon will love it equally much - but what about the REAL players who don't have 1,000,000 stamina and don't run their accounts in Demon 24-7-365? This will be a pain in the ass for those players... how long will this new script-friendly "event" last for? Or will this be a permanent feature implemented by Zynga to accommodate the Demon users? I guess even though Zynga is anti-scripts, they sure seem to like to make life a LOT easier and more fun for the Demon users :) I juts wish they would change the name of the game from Mafia Wars to Script Wars... that would surely be more fitting now...

  5. Right now (well, before this anyway), I am mostly fighting in LA to try and find cash. I don't see anything about a larger cash pay out with the attacks and that really puts me off on it!

  6. So far, I'm not a fan. I'm getting fewer Ices than I normally do and as pointed out, any "lost" fight sure eats away at your stamina. I'll give it a fair shakedown before my final judgement, but if this is the way they plan on moving forward with fighting, I see another mass exodus of players. Only huge stamina accounts will be left.

  7. My attack is now 1.85% of my stam pool. Maybe they're testing different percentages? Anyway, not really a fan for all of the reasons people are complaining about.

    1. That was my bad. I meant to say 1%. I fixed it.

    2. Mt attack is 2.7% of my stamina pool. Way more than 1% so as usual it's not an even playing field regarding the percentage it takes. This is total BS when they have so many events that require you to use the fightlist.

  8. Haha, attacks now have to frickin' load???!!!! I attacked manually (Demon user won't know what this means...ask a friend :P ) and the attack now has a LOADING BAR and it takes about 5 seconds for the attack to load... this means manual players won't be able to click like a mad man and attack someone 100 times in a few seconds... as the attack needs 5 seconds to lad, haha... DAMN, Zynga REALLY makes a huge effort trying to ruin the game, haha... but the loading of the attack was probably something Zynga didn't take into account... as I am sure Demon will be able to by-pass this... and Zynga probably knew that... and since only about 5% plays manually... who cares right? :P

    1. I totally agree. I also fight manually and it is slow as hell and the attack amount doesn't coincide with fighting prior to the Carnage Event. Overall my attack amounts are less. It is very good however when you are hit and win. Even though in this instance the amounts seem higher than when I attack, no matter the level or strength of the other person. I tried this on friends accs for a couple hits hits to verify. So overall I'm not happy with this event.

  9. I'm not sure whether as a whole it's good or bad..... I usually use arena. BUT it is more friendly to manual players, you won't be clicking away all day. PLUS the challenge mission loot dropped very fast!

  10. Better not become permanent, leave fighting the way it is

  11. its not good for anyone... your in a war your hitting a bucket people are "sleeping" u get shit xp for that hit and its like 10 or 100 x as much per hit so u now are getting xp or 1.1 instead of 2.2/2.3 so heck yes even if you level unless your a monster or only hit the small accounts your still screwed. I dont think this is to help the bots its simply to spend our stamina quicker... but the format needs changing to accomadate the above even for this to be acceptable to self levelling 24/7 players..... but heck for the players that have 10/20/30 000 stamina and dont level they are now totally screwed beyond beleif... Those players that use a kami will also lose out as although they will still get xp and most kami self level there health often sucs so you will get less hits and less level ups. For sure if you want a city that works in this way and you waant to level quicker and you can hit a bucket your always winning on then i say go for it but make it a seperate city to the norm otherwise major fail for everyone screw u zynga .... rant over

    1. Yeah,must suck for you guys who cheat :( Again,blame Zynga for making the game even for all :) How dare they... imagine... a game where cheating won't give you an advantage anymore?? Aww... I almost feel sorry for you guys :P Quit the game or how about try playing the game the way it was intended?? haha... if you even know how :P

      If this Fight Carnage screws up the scripts and their reasons for fighting (serial leveling) I say GREAT :D

  13. The new timer is obviously meant to take pressure off their servers. I've actually been rather amazed all this time that they let their servers get absolutely thrashed by scripts. It's a lot of bandwidth and processing power for no good reason.
