Zynga (Mafia Wars Support) caves in to the cries of the money spenders and is in the process of reverting property builds and times back to the 18 hour timer and declining RP requirement with elapsed time.

Issues with new Property improvements?

Updated 05/28/2012 at 18:24

Good News !!
We are incrementally rolling out a minor change to the Property Timers and the Property Dashboard. With these changes, we will be reverting to the previous way your Property Build timers used to work.

This feature is currently rolled out to 5% of the total players as we want to ensure a smooth and stable roll out.

If you are experiencing any issues with the game play, please click here to fill in a brief survey to let our team know.
Your feedback will help our engineers prioritize issues and resolve them faster.

Key changes made to the Property Timers are as follows:
You can now build 5 items from different global properties every 18 hours or you can build faster with Reward Points to speed things up. Shorter the timer, lower will be the cost of building.

The cost of additional builds depends on the property with the lowest craft time.

Each property has an individual build timer and you will be able to perform an additional free build after 18 hours from the time you performed the first free build.

Please check the below example for further clarification:
In this example, let’s assume that you built items from 4 of your properties at 2 hours of interval.

The timer reflects next free build available from that property as shown in the below screen shot:

Now, let's assume that after 2 hours, you performed your 5^th free build by using the Visit Property link:

The build timers for your properties will now reflect the new time and price:

Your additional build cost will be determined by the property with lowest craft time.

Once you perform an additional build, the lowest craft time & price will change to the new lowest timer as shown in the below screen shot:

The same timers will be reflected in the Property Interface

As a player who does not spend real money on the game I didn’t see a problem with the 24 hour build timer. In fact, I believe the timer for the free builds should be set at 24 hours. I can, however, agree that the RP requirement to speed the builds should decrease over time. I guess Zynga couldn’t figure that one out. Either that or they don’t want to piss those off who spend money. Either way, the game is still dying and losing players so I am sticking around for the ride (for now).
