During a Boss Fight, the Boss is outside the screen (Mafia Wars 2)

Share
We have gotten reports from players that when a Boss Fight starts, the screen goes into 'Spotlight mode', but that the Boss himself may be outside of the screen's viewing area. Therefore, you cannot click on the Boss to attack them.

Today we wanted to share a workaround for this problem.  When this occurs, you can use your computer's arrow keys to move the screen so that you can click on the Boss.  This will let you fight them.

You can use the arrow keys to move the view around if you ever get stuck being unable to click upon anything in the game.

Hopefully this can get you back into the Boss Fights and allow you to pound on them.  Now go get 'em!

Fixed: Mission "Heads Will Roll" now properly shows progress. (Mafia Wars 2)

Share
The problem with the mission "Heads Will Roll", which caused connection problems and lack of progress, has now been fixed.  You can now defeat 10 rivals to complete the mission.
 
Thank you for your patience!

Mission "Heads Will Roll" isn't showing progress. (Mafia Wars 2)

Share
 
Today we are hearing from many players who are trying out our brand-new timed missions, but one mission is causing problems.
"Heads Will Roll" asks you to defeat 10 rivals in the alotted time.  Unfortunately, players aren't seeing any progress in the mission.

Players have also experienced a connection problem which forces them to refresh, reducing their number of wins.
Even though fighting against NPCs will increase the number of wins, only the Rivals defeated will count in the tally after you refresh your game. 

 
There is good news about this, however... If you refresh your game, the progress will be shown correctly. Please try to refresh your game to get that progress to show.
 
To refresh your game, hit the refresh button on your browser.  Then, you should see the correct number of victories against the rivals.
 
This problem will be fixed very shortly, so in the meantime, please use this workaround.
 
Thank you for your patience, and we will get this matter straightened out.

Hey Crew, we’ve been cranking behind the scenes here making new content (coming soon!) and fixing the bugs you’re reporting. Keep reading to find out what’s new!

Of Special Note
  • Even more Halloween costumes have been added! Check out the Curse Warlock, Psycho Monkey, Full Moon Werewolf, and more!
  • The Like button has been added at the top of the game. You DID Like us… right?
  • Timed missions are in! If a mission has a time limit, the mission info screen will tell you how much time you have to complete it.
  • You can now cancel queued actions! Click on the ground to stop your queued up actions.

Additions &amp; Changes
  • You can now pay through some of the quests in Boxer Island if you don't wish to complete them on your own.
  • There's a new icon next to the language selector above the game screen - if you want to speed up your game, click this icon and then click on Allow!
  • When you rob a rival's worker, you'll get a nice, rewarding animation of them being wasted. Doesn't that feel great?
  • The Friend Help icon in boss fights has been changed to a Crew icon instead of a phone. This isn't Who Wants to Be a Criminal Mastermind, after all.
  • Crafting parts have been added as mission rewards.
  • If a building hasn't loaded in yet when you travel to a zone, you'll see a spinner to indicate that it's on the way.
  • We'll let you know with a popup when you start the game whether you have workers that need to be placed.

Fixes
  • Fixed a game freeze that could happen after you fought a rival on their turf.

  • The Sanguine Thirst cape no longer cuts off other items worn on the bottom layer.
  • The rewards in the Infiltrate the Casino mission were actually better than we were telling you in the mission info screen. They've been updated to reflect that the lewt is phatter.

  • The "Threatening" leaderboard title is no longer cut off.
  • The language selector globe in the upper right will appear consistently now.

Zombie Apocalypse

Share
User-added image

The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us! Put your fighting skill to the test in a battle for humanity.
 
Fight as either a Survivor fending off the Zombies or as a Zombie trying to turn Survivors into Zombies. The Zombie Apocalypse Fight Event starts on Wednesday, October 26th, 2011.
 
Your alliance is assigned at the beginning of each season; each season ends when the Zombie contamination has overwhelmed the game. Your alliance is identified by an icon next to your name and your screen border theme.
 
Earn Mastery tier items by icing other players - Survivors and Zombies, though scores are greater for icing those on the opposing side. There are many opportunities, depending on your score, to collect loot drop and mastery items for both sides, which are granted at the end of each season. Collect the final item in each Mastery tier to claim the reward and move on to the next; there are four tiers - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Ruby. Master both sides in order to become a stronger fighter. 


Q:  How is it determined whether I will be a Zombie or a Survivor?
A:  Which faction you fight for is determined randomly at the beginning of each season.  You will fight the entire season as the faction that you were assigned at the beginning.  (Important to note, however, is that you can use the antidote to become Survivor again, or get infected to become a Zombie.)

Q:  How long will each season last?
A:  Each Zombie Apocalypse wave, or 'season', can last from several minutes to a few hours.

Q:  How many seasons are there?
A:  There are not a pre-determined number of seasons. Each season will end when the Zombies overwhelm the game.

Q:  How do I earn the most points?
A:  You will earn more points by icing those on your opposing side.

Q:  How many mastery levels are there?  
A:  For this event there are four levels:  Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby

Q:  What are the number of points that I will need to earn for each mastery level?
A:  Each player will begin the season with 0 points.  The chart below shows how many points that you will need to for each level.  Remember, the seasons vary in length so you should ice your opponents as quickly as possible!


User-added image


Q:  Can I earn mastery for both Zombie and Survivor?
A:  You can earn mastery items as either a Zombie or a Survivor for each season, but only one mastery item per season will be awarded.

Q:  What if I don't want to be a Zombie?
A:  There is will be an antidote available for 7 Reward points that will cure Zombification as well as any new outbreaks for 2 minutes.

Release Notes - October 25, 2011 (Mafia Wars 2)

Share

Hey Crew, we’ve updated Mafia Wars 2 again with new Halloween items, more content and changes and fixes to make your life of crime smoother on your rise to the top. Check out what’s new below!

Of Special Note
  • We did a separate hotfix to help fix the number of Out of Sync errors players were reporting. After you've played for a while, please vote on our poll and let us know if the hotfix helped you! (Note: You do not need to log into the forums to vote!)
  • We fixed a bug where you'd help a friend on their turf, but then lose the rewards. Thanks for helping us nail this one!
  • Pumpkin Bombs will now smash your rivals into bloody pieces.
  • When you pick up a special item and it flies to your profile pic, you'll get more information about the item, like rarity and stats.
  • Decorations in the Marketplace now unlock at level 1 (with the exception of the Structures tab). They’ve also had their prices adjusted and premium items have a new green background.
  • When you click on a dead rival in the Bone Yard, you'll now be asked to confirm that you want to travel to their turf to rob them. No more surprise trips!
  • When you peed in a fountain, your hair and clothes fell off during the animation. Even though this served you right we still fixed it.

Changes & Additions
  • Tier 1 crafting now has a health pack recipe.
  • The Place a Parts Factory mission icon has been updated.
  • New missions have been added to the tutorial to teach players about crafting.
  • The task icon on the info screen for Place a Crafting Workshop has been updated with new art.
  • Glancing Blow has a new animation to show that it did less damage - it's just a flesh wound!
  • Boss levels have been increased to match the max level for the zone they're in.
  • Some crafting recipes for equipment have had their stats adjusted to be more level-appropriate.
  • The Donkster & Rambler have new paint jobs.
  • Wander radius has been tweaked for rivals in the arenas.
  • If you don't have enough Gold Bars to pay for upgrade parts, you'll get a message saying so when you try to buy them.
Fixes
  • The Kitty Roundup mission can now be completed, so turn in those… kitties! Meow!
  • Closing the "Accept" dialog when a friend offers help on your turf will no longer click through (and trigger) whatever was behind it - so you won't harvest the building before the friend can.
  • Feeds were sometimes taking 30 seconds or more to publish and could appear to be locked up. We have tweaked some code on our side to address the problem.
  • The Tormented Ghost clothing will now play nice with other clothes. Dress up your ghost with your favorite hairstyle!
  • The Claymore crafting recipe in Tier 2 crafting will no longer cause a display issue with Tier 1 recipes.
  • The hint for the Hijacking Armored Car mission has been updated with the correct requirements for the mission.
  • Cleaned up a few places where "{senderFirstName,name}" was appearing instead of someone's name in a feed.
  • Infiltrate the Casino now says Casino, not Bank in the Mission info screen.
  • The Place an Energy Station mission now tells you to recruit friends to staff the station, not ask for supplies.
  • Roteman doesn't turn visible in Downtown now until you get the mission to find him.
  • Your vehicles will show up on the Vehicles tab right away now.
  • Buildings which have been robbed now have a tooltip telling you so.
  • You won't stand on top of someone while attacking them now.
  • The social job in Westside Wharf has been fixed and can now be completed.
