Updates - Challenge Mission: Moscow

 

Challenge Mission Moscow Banner Cut

Challenge Mission: Moscow has been in the Banking Business for just over 2 days now. Like many events in features in Mafia Wars this event has not been a smooth or error free. Within our Un-Lucky Streak Ends - Discouraging Events post, posted yesterday, I covered an issue with accruing Cycloptics while robbing. I had posted the following image and statement;

Robbing For Cycloptics 1

Take the ‘new’ Challenge Mission: Moscow event, for example. We are ‘supposed’ to be able to accrue 20 Cycloptics from clearing Robbing Boards and 20 more by fighting in The Arena. Players are reporting having difficulty acquiring Cycloptics when doing both of these tasks. This will leave players up to 40 Cycloptics short each day of the event. Thus making this event that much more difficult to complete. Thus making the event that much less exciting.

My experience with clearing robbing boards is that you ‘must’ have 9 successful robs on a single robbing board to collect just 1 Cycloptic. Even then the Cycloptics do not get rewarded every time. In addition, If I use a Rob Squad or a Burner to clear a Robbing Board I have found that no Cycloptics drop for me at all. I have burned through 30,000+ stamina while robbing to only accrue 5 Cycloptics. From this alone I have derived that this is becoming yet another event in a growing list that I will not completely master.

This issue appears to have been fixed. Today (As shown below) I have been able to collect a Cycloptic from each robbing board.

Robbing For Cycloptics 2

I did not test the issue while using Rob Squads and/or Burners for there was no need. I simply needed to rob all 9 properties (win or lose) on 20 Robbing Boards.

Hopefully everyone who had this issue will find that this task is now much easier.

As for the issues of an inability of collecting Cycloptics within The Arena I have found no issues on my account, yet. Yesterday I was able to collect 20 Cycloptics in The Arena relatively easily. I collected the 20 Cycloptics after fighting in 4 Arena’s. On average I collected 5 per Arena fought in. This could vary from player to player so don’t be alarmed if you collect less. If you fight in 2 or 3 Arena’s or more and collect zero Cycloptics then your account might contain a bug.

Chapter 1 Complete

Most players should be able to complete Chapter 1: There Is No Plan B now (if they haven’t already) and begin stockpiling the Cycloptics for Chapter 2 (which will unlock at 3am EST Sunday, June 23). Chapter 3 will unlock on Wednesday, June 26 at 3 am EST. 

There Is No Plan B Chapter 2 Locked Chapter 3 Locked
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
From Moscow: Episode3 – Chapter 1
Chapter 1 big
From Moscow: Episode 3 – Chapter 2

Now if they would only bring Moscow back in it’s entirety….. Along with Cuba, Bangkok and Italy and the ‘new’ city then we could get back to business……
