How to Get Lots Of British Passport?

Share
So we have 3 days to unlock the first Chapter on Challenge Mission : London - Steal A Crown Jewel..
Meanwhile you can use the remaining days to collect as many passports as you can!



British Passports

To complete the jobs in London, you'll need to use special British Passports. Each day, you'll be able to collect these items from the Challenge Mission page, obtain them from the Marketplace, and find them from doing jobs, fighting, and robbing in other cities. Make sure you save them up as you'll need more as the mission progresses!


How to get the British Passport?
  1. Go travel to London and collect your passports every 24 hours. You will have a chance to collect 12 passports.
  2. British Passports can drop from any job, fighting and robbing.
  3. Fill up your crew to help you in London! You can gain British Passports as a one time bonus by adding more mafia members. (See my explanation about this on previous post)

This is the example when you get the passport from clearing the whole grid on Robbing.


And this one you get from doing any job..


Still having unclear info about "My Crew" feature as you can add 7 mafias right away but don't know when the to get the bonus of British Passport for each mafia members added..

Mafia Wars Crime Spree

Share

The New Mafia Gift Safe House

Okay, when you get on to Mafia Wars next you may notice a new change. They have altered the name of the Gift Safe House, along with new graphics and loot. So no more respect or disrespect, you now will be helping them in a "crime spree" or giving them the joy buzzer hand shake.

The rewards haven't changed. You still get a bonus to your stamina, energy, or experience for sending the crime spree message back to the person that sent it. The disturbing thing was that the "respect meter" is now not only changed to a new meter, but it is also set back to zero. We will see what and if Zynga plans to do anything more with the new gift interface.

New Loot

New Items

Some of the new items:

  • Joy Buzzer is a weapon with 15 attack and 21 defense
  • Baby Face Nelson's .351 has 21 attack and 24 defense
  • .45 ACP Pistol has 18 attack and 12 defense
  • Gladius has 24 attack and 16 defense
  • Tora Assault Rifle has 28 attack and 12 defense
  • Ness' Fedora armor with 28 attack 22 defense
  • Ushanka armor with 10 attack 20 defense
  • Sumotori Fighter armor with 17 attack and 25 defense
  • Pair of Steeltips armor with 20 attack 26 defense

Central Mainframe Access # Part 2

Share
Now we have this feature available.. Central Mainframe Access!

Yesterday, I didn't get the pop up appear.. now I have it!

I was doing a job and suddenly got the pop up of this feature telling me the secret code.. Some players have it on a fight.. Each player will have unique code, but it's not wise to spread the word about your code.. Keep it secret or you will VOID all the benefits you can get by entering it on the mainframe..
So if you have the secret code, write it down and save it somewhere.. perhaps using Notepad or just write it on a paper (I don't know if we will need the code tomorrow, so just save it).

How to enter the code?
Simple! Just go to the Homepage and you will have it on the Daily Checklist..



I enterred my code and got +3 Attack! Thanks, Team!!!

By the way, I also have this on my account for playing today..



Woot! Lots of sweet surprise nowadays.. Appreciate them all, team.. Keep up the good work!!!

Turkey Vulture!

Share
Ok, everybody has this free gift for login to the game today.. Turkey Vulture!
Yes, it is just the same as the previous Rogue CIA Agent and Death Deal Minigun.. You can only have 5 items and after that you will only receive Energy refill..



So I have noticed that when you click on SEND button, it will just send to random 50 mafia members! I hope this is right..

I don't know why we have this item as a Weapon.. perhaps it will become one of the Animals soon? I bet it is..



So where is the Valkyrie???
Will we have it tomorrow as a daily free gift??? Just wait for tomorrow then..

Welcome Mafia Wars Game Designer TeeBS!!

Share

Hey there Mafia Wars fans!

I’m a Systems Game Designer on Mafia Wars. Now what that means is that I’m the guy that is involved in making sure that all the numbers, balance and stats in the game make a great gaming experience for all types of players. It’s awesome to get feedback, both and positive and negative, from the fans of this game. It’s the passion that you show as fans which makes this game so great.

As Mafia Wars heads into its third year, there are a lot of decisions made and game structures created at the time of the game’s release that really didn’t account for Mafia Wars being played by over 20 million players per month. One of these game features that couldn’t account for the game’s rapid growth is the Top Mafia reward. Top Mafia (previous to the recent change) provided a reward if you had high-level friends in your Top Mafia in certain positions (and an additional bonus if you were in a friend’s Top Mafia). We in the design team refer to these bonuses as “passive” rewards, as once you had set up your friends, you didn’t have to do anything to maintain the bonus. Now from a game designer’s perspective, this is pretty troublesome, as we are giving away free progress (in the form of Energy discounts and rebates) for little interaction in the game. Since leveling up resulted in a full energy, health, and stamina refill, it eventually lead to some of the high-level energy players being able to level up many more times in a single session. This leveling boost was against the spirit of play we intended for Mafia Wars.

We as a game creation studio go through a tremendous amount of research and discussion about each change we make to the game, and below is a little example of that analysis. The following is a graph of typical high energy players playing in New York (the Mafia Wars city, not the real life city ), and how much all the accumulated energy rewards gains for each player per level. The left axis is the player level, and the bottom axis refers to the percentage of XP required to complete level. As you can see, the Top Mafia reward accounts for a very large percentage of passive XP each level.

Why is this situation so bad that we felt we needed to change the Top Mafia rewards? To be perfectly honest, the current passive XP reward situation put us in a big bind when it came to creating exciting rewards for the vast majority of players. Also creating a big chasm between the high energy players and the more stamina heavy fighting players. We’re not going to sugar-coat the reality of this change for the power energy players. Some of you will initially be affected negatively. We are making this change to allow us to improve the entire game to be even more awesome as a whole. What this will do is share more experience to all Mafia Wars players, allowing the community to make it an even more social experience for all involved.

In the coming weeks and months, the Mafia Wars team is rolling out an aggressive number of new features that are targeted at the “fighter”/stamina focused players. As you can see with robbing, stamina is becoming a more important stat in the game, and this will be even truer with the introduction of Fight Club (which will provide fighters with a private Marketplace), Street War and Vegas Tournament Fighting. You’ll soon see an awesome revamp for Boss Fighting. Each of these fighting-centric features takes fights to the next level, and will make you care even more about how you defend your turf against other players. Player vs. Player interaction via fights has always been one of my favorite things about Mafia Wars.

If you are a fan of current fighting, we are not changing normal city-based fighting in any fundamental way (other than the exciting addition of the Animal type), so you should feel free to continue to add Skill Points to your Attack and Defense stats. Fighting will soon allow you to win victory tokens, which will give you the chance to purchase cool new loot in the Fight Club area of the Marketplace!

Ultimately, I would like to let all our players know that we try to listen to each different opinion they have and truly have their best interests at heart. We understand that some of our decisions may adversely affect some players (and some help them too), but it is for a greater goal of making this the best game experience that our users can have.

Until next time, may your Mafia be massive!
