Family Gift Option Removed But Will Return

The option that allowed you to easily send free gifts to your red tag Family members has been removed. At this time I don't know if this is something Zynga intended or just a bug.

Before

After

I found this forum thread.  Go here to check for updates.  Maybe Zynga discovered that most of us liked this option and we all know what happens to things we like in this game.

Family members on the gift page Seriously, why does Zynga hate us? Is this a case of "we're not allowed to have good things". There was, until today, a button on the gifting page that would allow me to send gifts to members of my family. Why was this option removed? It was extremely useful. BRING IT BACK.  __________________

UPDATE:  I asked around about this and found that Cerulean Master, Super Moderator, got word from the developers that it will be added back and was not intended.

Brazil Achievement Glitch

You have probably seen a lot of these in your news feeds lately and you will probably see many more once the Brazil Secret District opens to all players.

The reason is because Smuggler's Haven is counting as a District. When you master it on any level, it will count as one of your un-mastered Districts in Brazil. Mafia War-er send me the following screen shots taking from his account. You can see that he hasn't yet mastered District 7 on the Gold Level....

...but he was rewarded the Fala Serio! Gold achievement. This happened when he mastered the Smuggler's Haven on the Gold Level.

We saw the same thing happen when Zynga added Districts 6-8 in Las Vegas and Regions 6-8 in Italy. Players who mastered any of the later Districts or Regions prior to 1-5 got achievements that didn't match the description.

I was more than happy to see the Requiescat in Pace Centesimus achievement get removed. It does bother me that because of this the achievement count is off. There are only 26 Fight Achievements and it is still being counted even though it's not listed. Players with OCD don't like this at all!

Thanks to Mult McMult for pointing the achievement problem out on the fan page.
