No Extension for Extortion Run...Whose Pissed?

Share:

Today is the last day to collect parts for the latest Extortion Run and it's become quite apparent that I won't finish it. It's not that I didn't ask enough times. Like most people who still play this game automation is necessary. I was a good monkey and asked for parts every 3 hours for the past 15 days. The difference between this time and the other 4 is that the news feeds were broken for several days. Facebook made some updates and requests weren't showing up anywhere and the 'Ask' buttons were broken on many accounts. Zynga was well aware of all these issues and there wasn't even a timer extension. What kind of Christmas present is that? I guess I'll have to use a hundred or of the thousands of reward points I gained from leveling non-stop for the last 15 days!

  4. It should be obvious to all by now that zynga and facebook do not care about anything but the bottom line.

  5. My issue is most of these, I've got up to level 10..and they're really not that much of a boost over what I already have. Not worth coining the very few stat bonuses I'd gain by getting them to level 15. Even this newest one is not much of a gain. We're all begging for these things, but zynga puts a limit per day on what you can collect anyway, if if you ARE lucky enough of have people playing 24/7...during the holidays, no less, you won't make it to 15, no matter how hard you work. Think of that..work...at a game.

  6. I actually did better than ever this time. MWAddon. I've always had to buy my way to level 12, and this time I may make to 14 for free.

  7. Ignoring the content of this post, I just want to say welcome back and Merry Christmas.

    In terms of the post, I have never made it past level 11, which is where I am today. I get to post 3 times a day, as I have a life outside MW, even if Zynga seems to wish we didn't.

  9. I posted manually 5 - 6 x/day and just finished level 15.

  10. The bug where the ask buttons didn't work for about 3 days didn't affect all players. Those who were affected couldn't possibly finish.

  11. Just before reading this I was wondering to myself why I'm playing this stupid game that doesn't work. My big issue is that I can't see more than 3 requests at a time. I post requests with my main account... then, when I try to hit them with my mini, I can't because I can only 3 the last 3. It's been this way for a looooong time now. I really should just give up. Completely lame....

  12. It has been months since I have completed much of anything. Something is always not working as it should. Between loading issues and ask buttons not working I am surprised I was able to finish anything at all. Like you, I am getting bored with the game since Zynga and Facebook never seem to work on issues and never extend any events when they have had problems.

  13. Is just too bad that there is no way that we can be unified and refuse to this event and the limited time property which was released so fast. I am getting so tired of this BS.

    1. Jen quashes all strikes. She makes sure to tell everyone who will listen how stupid it is.

    2. OCD must suck. Made it to 14 and could care less if I made it to 15. What's the big deal if you don't finish something? It's a GAME not a job assignment!!!

    3. Strikes are stupid. They don't do a thing except make it worse. That has been proven every time. Look at trading, fighting and Limited Time Properties. Zynga thought they were compromising by offering old fighting in LA but the fact that one may be old fighting against someone new fighting and healing every 15 seconds only made it worse. Trading is long gone and Limited Time Properties won't ever go away.

    4. Yes you are correct they weren't effective because only a very small percentage participated. The sheep followed you. You quashed any efforts to make it effective. Zynga is in this for money, no money and they would've HAD to adjust.

    5. So basically Jen you're just up for bitching and whining about being shorted, but come short when it comes to actually doing something about it. I guess we should realize you've signed contracts with them.

    6. lol, if I signed any contracts with them do you think I would have just stopped? Like everyone else I can bitch and moan all I want. One thing I recognize is not everybody feels the same and I would never go out of my way to try to get others to do something they aren't ready for. If you like to play, play. If you don't, don't try to get the ones who like it to stop so you can feed your ego and say wow I got 1,000 to stop playing because I don't like something. Strikes seem to be nothing but an ego boost for the ones trying to run them. Zynga only cares about metrics (which ones we aren't sure because they let the daily players metrics go to shit). Losing a bunch of free players or ones who spend a little doesn't seem to bother them.

    7. Seems it sure boosted your ego when you met with zynga officials, knowing they were supposed to meet with the strike leaders, and told them that the game was running so much better because of fight carnage, even though you say you aren't a fighter. Of course they took your word on it because you have been in their back pocket all these years. Had you have given them different information and or told them it would be a good idea for them to actually continue with the meeting that had been arranged, we may have gotten the old fight system back. Instead, now we are stuck with one city that we can change to the old way and the stamina cost is so high, that it didn't help.

      For those of you that didn't know, a meeting had been arranged with the strike leaders but was suddenly canceled after they met with Jen. It's a shame that one person has such a high standing that they can make or break this game, which is what you did. Mocks, DB's and FFA's are no more because of it and thousands, yes even big money spenders, have left the game because of your rush to judgement on this one Jen.

      Yes, I said it! You are the reason the game has gone downhill since fight carnage started. Whole clans have been lost as well as some of the bigger players in the game not to mention most of the small and mid-range accounts.

      Your little hoard of flunkies will call me names, as usual, and rally around you as always to boost your ego. At least I speak my mind and I am confident enough in myself to not be bothered by all the name calling and threats.

      And just to reiterate the fact that you are in their pocket, Jen has a signed NDA with zynga. In other words, there are things she and zynga discuss that she can't talk to anyone about. Sounds kind of fishy to me by the way. And exactly how is it that you are able to go through a new city as fast as you do and post a walk through of it within a couple of days of the opening of it? Do they give you unlimited rp to use or do they pay you to play? I'm just kind of curious about that. Although now I'm sure your energy account is big enough you don't need any help but in the beginning, they had to be helping you in some way.

      Now go have another pity party for yourself.

    8. It seems you are the one trying to pump my ego but it's not working. Your opinion of my influence over Zynga is laughable. They asked me about the new fight system, they even let me beta test it. I told them that fighting wasn't my thing so I was the wrong person to ask. I do get way more ices with the new fighting and the loading problems at the time (we have had many new ones since) were improved so that is most likely your reason. I'm a serial leveler so I can finish anything in a day or two. Since I've stopped blogging regularly I have thousands of rps saved up, all from leveling. I stopped spending money on the game when it took 20 tries just to enter it. They have never helped my game in any way. All members of the old PAC were flown to San Francisco and they gave us 100 reward points when the dissolved it to create a new PAC. They ask me things on skype once and a while and that is the extent of anything. I have nothing to have a pity party for. This game is not important to me anymore so it seems the ones who make comments like this are the ones we need to have pity for.

  14. Not me. This is one of many things I skip. I play what I enjoy and skip quite a few releases anymore. I wish I had a way to block the "events" I don't play to clean up the busy mess of an interface. Happy Holidays!

  15. We all were robbed. It sometimes make me wonder why I bother to do this.

  16. Finished early, but all my begging is done through a POD. Mainly because I don't want Facebook banning my account for playing a game that they make money from. I wish we weren't tied to using that evil, privacy hating site.
