FAMILY BUSINESS STARTED

FAMILY BUSINESS - STARTED

Stay Together, Prey Together.

Family Business is a grand limited-time Mission where a Family collectively contributes to common goals.

Mission Paths: Pick your strength.

Choose the Might Path or the Muscle Path to determine the type of tasks you would take on to progress through the Mission.

Each path has 5 tiers of tasks.

You can also progress through both paths simultaneously.

To unlock the next tier in a particular path, you must complete and collect rewards from the previous tier in the same path.

Kin Points: Know the score.

Earn Kin Points by contributing to Family Business tasks.

Track top contributing family members on the Kin Point Leaderboard.

Rewards: It's a kin-win situation.

As you progress as a Family, each family member will individually receive the reward that the Family achieves.

Earn Family XP on completing each task. The Family XP earned will be equally distributed to the progression of Ices/Arena Damage, Jobs, Property and Helper.

Earn an item reward on completing a Mission tier.

Earn Arena Power-Ups, Skill Points or RPs, or a combination of the three after each tier is complete.

You'll have 3 days after the Mission ends to collect any unclaimed tier rewards.

Complete all the tiers from both paths to win the grand Mission completion reward.

GRAND PRIZE

250 328

Larger Families will take on greater goals for better rewards.

Family Rules: Get your house in order.

You will not be eligible to contribute to tasks or claim rewards if you switch families during the event.

New Family members added during the Mission event will not be eligible to participate.

GRAND PRIZE

Is there an issue with BARON CATERPILLAR?

Baron Caterpillar (261/209) is or should be gift from Mafia Wars in apps and games. We received reports that there are some problems with this item. It should look like on the first image if everything is going well with this item: apps and games - find gift from Mafia Wars, click on accept, get popup in the game, and item in inventory.

BUT! Players are complaining that they:

have gift from Mafia Wars in apps and games, did not get popup, and item is not in inventory
have gift from Mafia Wars in apps and games, did not get popup, but item is in inventory
have gift from Mafia Wars in apps and games, got popup, but item is not in inventory (images 2 and 3)
do not have gift from Mafia Wars in apps and games at all.

So, this item is obviously NOT available for all players. Do we have an issue here? If yes, it would be polite if nothing to apologize to players and make that item available to all by clicking on some link or simply add this item to inventories to those players that have an issue I wrote about.

Or maybe Today's DAU: 152,808 is very good?!? Something is going wrong Zynga, waking up is good idea, I think.

1. THIS WAY IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE

2. IMAGE OF THE ITEM IN INVENTORY BEFORE POPUP (no Baron Caterpillar)

3. AFTER POPUP Baron Caterpillar is NOT IN INVENTORY STILL!!!!

Issues or lousy job (Buzz Craft & Mexico)

Buzz Craft and Silent Silver for build or upgrade! Only those two messages I saw and get in this part of the game. I must admit that image with message: "Sorry, this request has expired/is invalid." I got yesterday, so there is a chance that this is fixed (2nd image). But the other one with "maxed" message (3rd image) is in the game still, that is for sure. Is this an issue or lousy job?

Second! Win Boss in Mexico has option for share and continue. Point in share button? Well that share button is not working anyway so was there any purpose for putting it there?

And finally Mexico - district mastery, again share and continue button. That button was working on first 3 districts in Mexico. He is here and now, but without function, except continue. Confusing players and giving them something more for criticizing the game and you Zynga. So, if you release something in the game, do not do this first day - check the game million times if necessary , but release it without bugs, issues and pointless options; 3,4 or even 10 days later. This is my opinion only.

this one may be fixed

this one is in the game still

SHARE AND CONTINUE in Win Boss in Mexico, district 4 and 5. - pointless share option

SHARE AND CONTINUE in Mexico District Mastery -in districts 4 and 5.

In first 3 Districts that Share option was working.

Issue, lousy job, or mistake?
