On September 6th, 2012, the Official Mafia Wars Blog announced that ‘A set of mini bosses will appear in the Fightlist.’ Here is a reprint of the announcement;
Mafia Wars Updates on Fighting
Mobsters,
A set of new players are coming to pick a fight with you. These are mini bosses which will appear in the Fightlist.
Icing or killing these players will count towards your progression in Iceboards, Family and Fight Seasons. However, you will not be able to view the profile of these players, add them to your rival lists or declare war against them.
Choose your battles carefully, they could be stronger than you think!
We will be gradually rolling out this feature to all players.
-Mafia Wars Team
I have patiently waited for the ‘slow’ rollout to be added to my account. I noticed today that I now can fight these bosses;
As it turned out, I waited for nothing. I can not beat a single one of these bosses. How exciting is that? You know what that means will happen to these bosses;
They will all get Blacklisted.
I couldn’t have said it better than Stilettojokerninja did within the comments on the Official Mafia Wars Blog post.
Just to reiterate; “this will not make me spend more money zynga but it might make me quit!!” I am not saying I will quit, Yet, but I am suspecting that the DAU will soon take another nose dive.
