Release Notes - October 18 2011 (Mafia Wars 2)

Of Special Note

• Some players weren't able to load the game because they had too many crew and rivals trying to visit their turf. If you couldn't load before, please try now!
• We've made a few more tweaks to the friend selector: You now have an X to close it, "Cancel" has been changed to "Return to Game," and both will highlight after the first batch of sends.
• The number of items you can receive from friends per day has been raised from 15 to 25.
• We've added a "MW 1 & 2 Friends" tab in the friend selector. Checking the "Select All" box will select all of the friends currently shown in the window. Request away!

Changes and Additions

• Your friends will now randomly show up on your home turf or when you travel to other zones!
• The Casino Row zone shop has new items.
• Certain missions that had unbalanced Energy vs. Loot rations have been adjusted.
• Certain social jobs had their unbalanced rewards adjusted downward.
• The Equip, Unequip, and Buy buttons are now easier to tell apart from one another.
• Some Arena shop items had their prices adjusted.
• You can now sell Wardrobe items from the profile.
• We've added the ability to quick-publish (no share dialog) the following events to your friends when you level up or win a boss fight.
• You'll now have an indicator over your building letting you know when enough friends have accepted your request to help upgrade it.

Fixes

• The guide arrow for the Visit Zoe mission will no longer show up before you get the mission.
• When clicking on a red-shielded rival to visit their turf and rob them, the rival would chicken out and not show up so you could rob them. They'll suck it up and fight now.
• When the leaderboard resets each week, it should only reset your rank on the leaderboard, not your title. You'll no longer be reset to Newbie every week!
• You can now choose your reward from Charlie the Drunk!
• It now costs energy to fight the security guards in Neon Strip.
• Guide arrows were added to the building & harvesting Gun Shop missions.
• It will be easier now to collect energy from your friends' energy stations during the Recharge mission.
• The Weapon Shop's Upgrade pushpin sometimes got lonely and started to follow your avatar around. It's been sent home to stay.
• Zoe's buildings will no longer have Power-Up icons after you collect from them.
• The Rob icon will now only show up if the building or agent can actually be robbed.
• When you remove one of the three pieces of debris on the home turf that get swapped with safes, the debris will now clear immediately.
• The Moose is no longer loose! The Moose is Loose mission now completes when you kill Moose.
• Missions that have Street Cred as rewards will no longer throw an error when you open their information screens.
• The female Yellow T-shirt no longer colors outside the lines.
• The thugs accompanying Moose and Bonecrusher no longer have "Cannot Find String" when you mouse over them.
• The Gearing Up quest has been moved to level 18.
• Moose is a little dense, so you'll have to forgive him for telling you to upgrade your garage to level 2 right after you already did it. We got it through his thick skull and he'll no longer tell you to do it again.
• The Place a Parts Factory mission will no longer pop up a "0% increase!" message (it was kind of a letdown).
• The Joshua Tree is no longer offset when rotated.
• Clicking on the brass knuckles when you're already in an arena will no longer cause the game to hang.
• The Laspear no longer has placeholder art.
• The Crazy Cat Lady in Bluebird Meadows no longer has a placeholder icon.
• The Ski Mask and Eye Patch now display correctly when worn.
• The Recharged mission will now update correctly when you collect from a friend's energy plant.
• The "inventory full" message was hidden behind the Workshop window, so you couldn't tell why you weren't able to buy more parts.
• The mouse-over text for Bonuses in the Bone Yard has been updated.
• Instead of getting close enough to stab your rival in the eye with your gun, your avatar will leave enough space to aim and fire.
