Facebook Gift/Requests not being removed

Due to a system upgrade to the Gift Request page, which includes an increase to the maximum limit to the number of gift/requests that players can send at a time, we have encountered an issue where gifts that have already been accepted both in-game and through the Facebook Game Requests are not being removed from the Facebook Game Request feed on players accounts. 

This is a display and communication issue only, and we are currently working towards finding a resolution.  Players are not losing any gifts so there is not a need to submit a ticket for this issue as Customer Service agents will not be able to make any adjustments or credits to your account over this matter.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused and recommend that you accept your gifts in-game in order to prevent any confusion until we have made the correct adjustments.

Thank you for your understanding!

Mystery Bag Mulligan

Wanna have more of an option of what you get in your mystery bags? Well we're going to give you just that. We're introducing the Mystery Bag Mulligan! Here's how it works - when you click on your mystery bag requests from your mafia, you'll see what surprise you got inside. Don't like it or don't happen to need it? No problem! You can use 3RP for a chance to get another mystery gift and land on something you're sure to love.

It's really that simple. Next time you open a mystery bag and get something you may not need, just try your luck again and open another bag! Be on the lookout for this new feature coming to Mafia Wars.

Flashy Game Header

Hey, have you seen the new flashy of Game Header item?

It keeps changing from one item to another.. they are all belong to Free Gift items..

Sometimes you can see the Free Gifts icon.., Mysterious Animals, Thai Envelopes, Bollywood Reel, etc..

I thought when you press on any item it will select and send it but it take you to the page! It is just a display item for the available gifts in the free gift page, show features only not function to send right away..

This is all the available items of the Free Gift page on the new flashy header..

Hope there won't be anymore bugs.. bad bugs...

Mafia Wars Inventory VS Gifting

We have 2 kind of Mafia Wars tabs now..

The one which has Inventory tab. When you click on it, will bring you to 4 (four sections) ie Inventory, Loot, Collections & Vault and the last is Gifting..

While another players has different tabs..

The word of Inventory has changed to Gifting!

When you click on Gifting, you will arrive here..

And how to go to your Inventory page?

You can click on your Profile tab, it has 4 (four) sections now...

Profile, Achievements, Collections & Vault, and Inventory!

Have no idea why they made it these ways..

But don't worry, it doesn't affect anything... Only your game layout is changing..

You can still sending gifts, trading, checking your Inventory, etc...

Pignatas: Part 3

The Pignatas are finally here. I can't wait for them to be gone so I no longer have to type the word Pignata. You can start sending them from the new Free Gift page. There are some new features on this page that will improve the overall gifting system.

When you hoover over the Pignata, you get the option to send one or request one. This feature is no longer on my account. I like it and hope it comes back. I didn't get a screen shot of what happens when you click on request.

When you click on send, you get this page which has a "Recommended" button. When you click this, you get a list of people who have sent you the most gifts.

You accept the pigs by going to your Facebook home page and checking the external gifting page.

I was able to accept 3 of them. One the third Pignata, it said I could not accept anymore free Pignatas today. If we can only accept 3 a day and this only lasts for the weekend, what are the odds of getting the monster truck? Throw in the Zynga factor and I don't think many of us will get one. Please comment if you do.

Pignata Weekend!

The screenshots for you...

Zynga loves to release new events on the weekend.. in hoping that we will play Mafia Wars game instead of going outside to spend your weekend..

This is the new layout of our Free Gift page..

I can see that we have Film Reel, Mystery Bag, etc..

And you can have a chance to request for your chosen gift when you are doing your jobs..

Either you want your mafia to send you Mystery Bag, etc..

So many updates, thanks to all friends for the help..

I am feeling much better now but sometimes still dizzy and have to lay down for a while..

Enjoy your weekend, guys...!!!

Pignatas This Weekend!

I noticed the above banner in my game today and can only guess what this is all about. What are they trying to do to the game called Mafia Wars and what is a Pignata anyways? I'm assuming it's a pinata that looks like a pig. I checked The Mafia Wars Fan Page and they don't mention this. I do like the "Grand Prize" which is some type of Vehicle with stats of 96/123. I'll have to wait for the weekend to find out more. Here is an enlarged version of the banner.

Send Reward Points?

Is it true that now we are able to send free Reward Points to our mafia? Hayden got this banner on his account..

And he got this Point Pig from his mafia friend..

Here is the icon of the pig..

So far I don't know how many Reward Points we can have from one gift..
And how to send them anyway? Because I don't have the banner on my account yet...
Kindly advise and thank you in advance..

More explanation from Hayden :

Hmm. It was on the free gifts page for awhile, but then removed soon after(at least for me)..
Well, since it's not in the free gifts page anymore, you can't send it right? but you can actually still receive it by sending energy packs to your mafia. :) when they accepts your energy pack, and clicks on "send", you might receive a Reward Point Pig..


:D how many RPs did i get? I'm guessing that the feature is not completely implemented that's why when I've opened it, there's no pop-up saying how many RPs I've got.. :( but if you browsed through MW wiki, you'll see it too!
