We will announce on the forum and through a Fan Blast when the next Chat with the Mafia Wars Team session is scheduled.
Thanks,

Hi Grizltyear,
The action you explain is not an issue with the game, there is an issue with your account. For some reason your account fails to recognize the progress of beating the boss and so it resets you back again.
In cases like yours, you need to contact Customer Support. They can review the account and potentially find the issue causing the account to be stuck in this loop.
I hope this helps you plow through bosses and close out those chapters.

Surely you are not allowing people to play on a level playing field when a few can receive certain gifts while most of us can't. Alternatively, why not acknowledge the mistake and make them giftable for everyone. |
Charlie,
Thank you for bringing up this issue. We know that the items did go out giftable which was an unintended thing. I will follow up with the team to ensure we get them wiped from the wishlist.

I think I speak for many people when I say getting a choice of one of three things to post for others to collect that includes hideously outdated stuff such chain guns (easily bought from the NY store) is getting a bit wearing now. |
This is a good suggestion and we are currently looking to update many aspects of the game. Including loot drops, secret stashes, etc. |

This is due to the fact that the message originates with the player. We are looking to improve this but don't currently have an ETA. |

Thank you |
We are making progress and will be able to discuss next week. |

A great way to gain fighting support is to search out and associate with Clans/Families.
Each clan or family has their own set of rules and requirements for joining. You can find out more about them and search out which one would be a good fit for you through the Mafia Wars Wiki...

ty........... |
RP isn't rewarded at every level up... it is at every other level up. |

While it is pointless to kick a dead horse... We are working on surfacing up more live players. |

1. Daily chance.. old, boring
2. Secret Stashes... the ones we post to our wall.. loot is old ( I do NOT need anymore French balls thanks )
3. Stashes .. ones we post to others walls. HOW many times is it gonna say " sorry already found " Scrap if you cant fix
4. Mystery Boost.. super dooper mystery boosts we wouldnt miss quite frankly
Dont think I need to continue  |
We are working on revamping these aspects of the game |

As stated before, each clan/family has their own rules and requirements for joining.
I recommend doing a little research and asking around. Most families are super friendly and welcoming to questions.

If there is a problem with what you are purchasing, please contact customer service and they will be able to look at the activity of your account. |

I was iced by someone the other day who was a 20,000+ level player!
It is time that fights are between more even leveled players! It kind of reminds me of a gutless coward who is too afraid to fight...unless he has 10 friends with him while you're all alone!
Those who are level 500 to 600, should be fighting and being attacked by those who are also level 500 to 600...level 1000 to 1100...level 2500 to 2500...and so on. NOT level 845 like myself against a level 2845 player! |
We understand this and are trying to find the best solution. |

We actually have some interesting stuff planned around fighting- probably involving consumables and meainginful attack choices. We have tentatively scheduled our first Boss Fight event to release in the next 2 weeks. |

This issue has been escalated, we made recent changes to the fight program and this portion needs some additional love.
Thank you for raising the issue here.

We have a very specific pattern for treating people who are locked out. It depends on the reason for the lockout, sometimes based on fb behavior, sometimes based on MW behavior. We also look at past history with a particular player. Answers vary, based on the situation, including complaints about other players.
With regard to phone customer service, it's much less efficient for both sides- communication is actually clearer in writing and we have access to all prior communications with a player if done in writing. By the way, we are aggressively increasing CS staffing, both within MW and at Zynga overall. |

We know players have been really positive with the energy refill change. We're still adjusting, but we have some fun story stuff planned around energy packs in the near future. We think you'll like it. |

RE: Property Collection
1) if you aren't using Chrome, I would try this, many players report having a better experience.
2) we are working on a collect from all properties button which should make everyone have a faster experience when collecting due to cutting down page loading and number of clicks.
RE: Fight Club
Many of our players love Fight Club, we are working on getting funding internally to continue to update this highly popular feature. Currently the team is busy working on some new projects but we will weigh this feedback about FC into our planning process.

Great question. I thought we did do it on a shorter timer. Will check- will make sure that we do it in the most allowable gifts way.  |

We actually made a change to INCREASE the likelihood of rares dropping, so you see a little less of commons. |

Hi Arkinator,
I have QA running tests right now due to the number of players raising this issue. Hopefully we will know more soon.

How about fixing the my mafia pages and making easier to sort through your mafia and also getting rid of people that have stopped playing. This issue should have been addressed years ago.
Thanks for blowing off my questions again!!!! |
Hi Fastballer,
This option used to be more prevalent in game. The community team is listing this as a requested community tool.
Thank you for bringing it up today.

Thanks Bobby,
We'll let the team know how much you all like the cross promotional rewards from other Zynga games.
I'll follow up on the Vampire Wars reward. There is a possibility that the promo has ended but there may be some existing code in play.
Thanks again for bringing this up.
