New Event Teasers

Zynga is giving away clues to the New (unknown) Event On the Official Facebook Mafia Wars Fanpage.

Mobsters,

Take a wild guess and tell us what you think this image is?
Hint: This was used extensively during the wars and is believed to have been first used in China. This was also used during the WW I and WW-II.

If you’ve checked your inventory then you may already know that it is called a Hydraulic Cannon.

You also know there is a Hydraulic Hippo and a Hydraulic Cylinder in the inventory.

We could sit here and speculate all we want about what event these loots could be for. We could guess that they could be for The Raven returning or for the ‘New’ Avatar feature that is looming (And WE DONT WANT!!!).

But, it gets difficult to get too excited about anything in Mafia Wars anymore. Especially when EVERYTHING allows some players the ability to buy their way through resulting in the same ol’ certain players to ALWAYS have an advantage over others in EVERY feature within the game or those same ol’ certain players ALWAYS buy their way through these events and features and then whine about how bored they are now that they have the event or feature complete.

This game desperately needs players added to the player base and Zynga will never attract new players back into the game if the ‘elite’ players ALWAYS get the advantages! Zynga needs to learn how to spread it around some so that ALL players will feel like they can compete or be rewarded for being LOYAL players.

Zynga would really love it if you purchased the Limited Edition Loot that is only available during this sales event. Here is a closer look at each of the 4 Loot items;

The event ends on 27th June at 11:59 PM PDT.

Free Loot – Armored Socks

Zynga is now giving away the Armored Socks as a free loot gift just for playing Mafia Wars. I do not know for how long this item will be available for because as of the writing of this article there has been no official word from Zynga. My best guess would be until June 27th.

 

Whether you see the pop-up or not you should verify that you have in fact received your Armored Socks. Follow these instructions to verify if you have received your Armored Socks;

1.  To verify that the item has been added to your inventory, please click the Inventory tab:

2.  Next you will need to click the Filter button:

3.  Type 'Armored Socks' into the search field and click 'Go':

4.  The following window should show that 1 Armored Socks has been added to your inventory.

If you have received your Armored Socks you can click on the image to bring up the item details and see how much the Armored Socks has increased your stats by. 

If you did not receive your Armored Socks then you may need to locate your ‘Apps and Games’ in the left column of your facebook wall.

Then locate your Mafia Wars requests and the request from Mafia Wars.

To locate it faster you can click the Control (Ctrl) button and ‘F’ button, simultaneously, to bring up a dialog box where you can search for the Armored Socks request by typing the name of the item into the search box.

If you locate the request simply click the ‘Accept’ button and you should be taken into the game and receive your Armored Socks. To make sure you’ll need to verify to see if you received your Armored Socks.

If all this failed the you may need to contact Zynga support.
