Mafia Wars On Facebook

[Pipe]

These are special types of collections that require your Mafia's help in order to finish. Mission specific items have a rare chance to drop on any job, while others will have to be found by your Mafia through job assistance. Here are some more things to know:

 

Asking for help -

1. You can only put out 1 request for 1 collection every 48 hours.

2. Up to 5 Mafia Members can help you on a single request only.

3. Once a Mafia member decides to help you, they must have the item drop from a random job. They only have limited time to do so.

 

Helping your Mafia -

1. You cannot help more than 1 friend at one time.

2. On successfully helping, both you and the friend get the item.

3. You can only help up to 5 friends in a 24 hour period.

 

Misc -

1. There is no re-vaulting of these collections.

2. You can ask for help once an item drops or straight from the collections page.

3. New crew collections will be added in the future.

Robbing is back!

 

More simplified than ever.

[Pipe]

it is.. pero it poses an "issue" with tagged players and their alliances -- no attacking, no hitlisting, no sucker punch, no robbing clause..

kasi on the robbing grid (3 x 3).. di mo naman kita ang player na i-rob mo diba?

they are allowed to rob the the ally one time..

so sorry nalang.. zynga messes with everybody..

 

 

who here was able to rob that "zynga account" and in return got the 3 elusive money achievements?

there is so much fuzz in MW world for 5 hours now..

 

URGENT BULLENTIN* JUST CAME IN TO ME ! URGENT, FOR ALL THOSE GETTING THE TRILLIONS FROM THE ROBBING GLITCH THAT IS POSTED ALL OVER FB, BLOCK THE PERSON YOU HAVE ROBBED FROM AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. NOT SURE ON THE WHOLE OF THE UPDATE AS YET, BUT WILL POST IT LATER, THIS HAS JUST COME TO ME AS AN URGENT WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PASS IT ALONG ..

 

Due to recent leaks of information vital to the security of the Mafia Wars infra-structure a character using profile ID: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

is scheduled to be released in an effort to track and correct the internal leakage of information. The above referenced profile is in fact a Zynga test account equipped with an unlimited supply of NY Dollars. The account has banking features disabled and is designed to maintain a constantly re-generative 500 quadrillion cash amount and infinite health. The constant monitoring of this account will enable us to determine the source of our internal leaks, and to follow the web of sharing for a period of 21 days. All accounts accessing this profile will come under scrutiny for for TOS violations.

 

Developers please help us to find our source of leakage.

Robbing Strategy and Mechanics

Robbing is now in game for all players! Even my rackets account (which still has rackets) can log in and start robbing. Now that I've gotten to play with it some, here is what I have noticed:

 

 

1) The amount of Mafia you can use during a robbery attempt depends on which type of property you try to rob.

 

The more expensive the property, the more Mafia Members you can use. For example, you can only use 2 mafia members to rob a flophouse but you can use 50 to rob a dockyard.

 

2) Equipment stats and stat points are somewhat additive. This picture was taken on my energy account, which has zero extra stat points in attack, yet I still had a much higher attack score than my opponent. It seems that the total offensive score is calculated by:

 

(Stat points in attack + score from equipment) * a random multiplier (anywhere from 1-3 it would seem).

 

Sometimes, I will rob a property with an attack score of 15,000, and then rob the same property and have an attack score of 5,000. The "random" element means that anyone at any point can win a robbery (and also lose one!), no matter how much attack, defense, or equipment you have.

 

There are a few practical results of this:

 

1) If you want to rob one of the smaller properties (ones where you can only use a few mafia members to help out), such as a flophouse, the fight comes entirely down to who has the most points in attack (or defense).

 

2) If you rob one of the larger properties, your equipment score vastly outweighs your stat point score.

 

3) "Special" loot pieces, especially job mastery rewards and Bangkok faction items, now weigh heavily into robbing.

 

4) Having a full set of good (but not great) loot is only important in robbing larger properties.

 

5) Attack boosts help out significantly in small robberies and mean nothing in large robberies.

 

6) Due to the random multiplier, even the weakest accounts will win some robberies, and even the strongest accounts will lose some robberies. While a lot of people don't like the randomly losing, I think the randomness is a good thing as it allows everyone to progress through robbing (i.e. there won't be so much whining from bad players), and since there is no penalty for losing, it doesn't matter too much if you lose once in awhile.

 

Here is how this comes into play:

 

1) My "fighting" account will win every small robbery attempt that it makes. Since I have been slacking on finishing content with it, it loses most larger robbery attempts! Missing out on Bangkok faction pieces and job mastery rewards will significantly impair your robbing ability, even if you have 1000 or more points in attack.

 

2) My energy account will lose every small robbery attempt it makes, but wins most of its larger robberies (where you can use 100+ members), since I have every special item, tons of faction loot, and all the job mastery rewards.

 

 

In short, your ability to win fights does not predict your ability to win robbing events. If you want to win all your robbery attempts, you need 1) all the job mastery rewards 2) about 25 of the Yakuza Assassin Bangkok faction items 3) a lot of stat points in attack.

 

 

There are no shortcuts here and it is fairly balanced. They did a good job in my opinion in that regard. I will post again later today with more info on the rewards and other robbing information.
