Mobsters 2 - Your Opinions

[The Godfather]

Greetings Mobsters,

Lets try and keep the bulk of the Mob1 vs Mob2 discussion here, so that we don't clutter up the existing forum.

I'm all ears, constructive criticism would be most appreciated, I'm eager to hear what you guys think of the Mobsters 2 Beta release so far. Things that I can improve? any bugs? etc... Anything you guys absolutely hate?

Saluti,
The Godfather

[212th Battalion]

To be honest, I don't have a face book account and I won't be creating one just to play Mobsters 2. Maybe...I might consider it if it were released for myspace. But that is highly dependant on whether or not you or playdom decides to do that.

Furthermore, I honestly don't think I can see myself spending much more time playing Mobsters anymore as you have stated you are not considering any more updates or changes for the original. Like any game....once you've reached a certain point.....playing it anymore is pointless and practically a waste of time. Besides....I have only one mission left to get platinum mastery on......and I still have not gotten my achievement. Somehow I feel even after completing this, I may still not get it.

[uSuck/iFIGHT/BellaDeath]

I'm just not a facebook user, and playing the myspace version for atleast a year... starting over kills my ROI for the work put into the orginal.

what about the LE items recently in the myspace version, the community is really complaining about the quality of them...

do approve each item or is it other members of the staff that suggest them, afterall you have chosen several of my suggestions which have out performed some of the current items and their sales cycle

just wondering?

Hey Battalion,

Honestly I think this is a misinterpretation of my words. Mobsters 1 has a LONG life ahead of it. I was simply stating that many of the new and "different" Mob2 changes may not get ported back to Mob1 because it would fundamentally change the game that you all love.

I've heard your feedback about the recent LEs. I'm take this under consideration.

I also agree, after reaching level 500+ mastering my missions, and almost maxing out on gear, I have to attack the same group of players in my fight tab for xp for months now... I know there are more players at and around my level that play the app but my fight tab only shows the some players, some of which are auto healers I'll bet I have attacked close to 500-1000 times or greater.


thank you for the feedback above, btw... I have a question about an email I recieved from you here in these forums please reference ( issue id is: 1823451 )

When you try to attack someone one the attack list/hit list and they're in another region, you can choose to "Go There". After you do that, you attack them.

I'm using Chrome and after I "Switch reasons" in that way, the refresh button does not work and no sub-tabs work.

Is it just Chrome or are other having this problem?

[James500]

Godfather just update Mob 1 (which you wont do) please and stop making some cheap rip off version.

[blahman]

The location-based restrictions are dumb. Here's why it suffers from Bloodlines, war. Alright, I'm not sure if you can't list someone in a different region, but that's the biggest problem. I know location-based is probably an attempt at shutting up people complaining about low levels listing high levels (as a low level couldn't list a high level if they can't get to that region) but it's honestly annoying and you'll get low (half-levels) complaining that these higher levels are abusing the feature. Bloodlines is a really good app, but this location-based crap is what made it suffer and not be as popular in the first place (just my opinion). After all, high levels can just run down to lower level locations and list the person or do whatever, then jump back up to a high level location to save themselves from being listed by the lower level. I like to be able to do whatever I want to whomever I want despite where they may be residing.

[blahman]

And if there's no war in mobsters, might as well just call it Mobsters 2: landlord edition

[SuperPysz]

GF,

I believe that the following list of changes can be made in less than a week and would make a lot of people happy. I got most of these from the moderation and picked out the simple ones.

-Add new properties (all you have to do is take an existing property, add it to the end of the list, and change the values & images, you can get those images from the many in the suggestions forum).
-Add a new henchman that isn't so week (another semi-cut&paste job).
-Some new missions & properties for people above 400
-Make leveling experience not so much of a Bottleneck (at 401 it was 10k and that slowed most people down and now its 601-1000 where people jsut get stuck. It shouldn't be 1,000,000,000 experience to the next level unless you can get to that next level in the same amount of fights/missions as you could when you were going from 19-20).
-Make a high powered gun to go with the tank, gunboat, exo and police escort (another semi-cut&paste job).
-Make properties purchasable by 100s and put a level/income limit on it so it doesn't get abuse by people who transfer at low levels.
-Some new acheivements (I don't care about the favor points, they just look cool on my profile)
--examples that could be easily implemanted
---Certain #s of properties
---Certain levels of income
---Ceratin #s of deaths
---Certain #s of Avatar Items
---Certain #s of (with 500 being Platinum) Tanks, Exos, Police Escorts, Exos, Boats, "New Super Gun" (All 1 Achievement)
-Change the add page to only have 20 people per page now that there is 20 selectable and have a select all(20) button.


None of these things really ask you to change how the game is, just add a few simple things to it.



EDIT: This applies to M1, although it's obvious, I jsut thought I would point that out since the thread title says M2 Opinions.

To add to that though.

No place in the moderation did anyone say they wanted a new game, just new stuff for M1 (as far as I know anyways, I stopped reading after the first 3 pages in each section).

Thanks for listening,
SuperPysz

[blahman]

I agree with a big clusterf*ck update. Just simultaneously release a whole bunch of small stuff at once. Missions, henchmen, high-level territories, new achievements, and etc.

[James500]

Ever since Playdom came this game has been ruined.

[chinefoo]

Lose mobsters 2!!

someone posted elsewhere in different topic on how NOBODY with any REAL time on thier hands uses facebook!

now as far as this new adulterated, perverted, version of mobsters2.
its horrible went to lvl 4 in 3 min or so bout as boring as a brick, 98% of the features and ideas and gimmiks in 2, hope never ever, ever, make it to the original game!

the options of changing your charicter are um WOW , STUPID! while i agree that real mobsters, i assume gain rank in thier real life mobs the idea of bouncing thru all of them is imo retarded!

in all fairness my 6 peeps i keep in touch with in facebook i did not add, so im sure it may have opened up the game a lil bit but from what i seen and the way it plays, well lets just say mobsters 2 is no longer on my facebook ! shortest app i ever had on there. " and most apps there are really laim"

After really looking at the game i discovered that it is layed out, in such a way that the people who refused to follow guides, tutorals, and rules, will be thrilled with mobsters 2. as it needs no tutorals it needs no guides ! "rules" well those will get perverted as in mobsters 1 as people with no clue complain about how its hard for them!


now constructive,, lol look to post above mine for a good improvement to the original game!

Thats the main simple stuff we are just asking for. And yes the lvling is ridiculous.

Godfather I am lvl 444 and am getting bored as well, I played M2 yesterday for the whole day to take in ideas. I like the fact within a class you can upgrade it. Add that too the 4 we have? and give us a chance to change it 1 time or even make bulletproof actually worth it lmao. I would prefer that you actually make the game your own it seems like everyone of the apps is just a copy. Add that idea of a black market that you talked about in the audience*of what u did say anyway since u stopped* I also liked in M2 that you could easily add to original mobsters is the full health click when u go to the hospital.

The Godfather

If it is a misinterpretation, and we are mistaken by far, then ok....what's going to happen to the original Mobsters? What is there in store for us high levels? Is there going to be anything? I do have a lower level account, but the novelty of suiciding on others to stay low levels is wearing off. Don't get me wrong, don't take suiciding away. It's just.....it's repetitive......we're all about to be turned into mindless drones clicking away at a mouse. The only level of excitement might be when a new LE item comes out....but even then instead of a WOOHOO!.....

these days its either woooo........ or a bland what the fuhhh... We all need something to recapture our love for the game. Something to put excitement BACK into it.

[--ZAKZ--]

on mobster myspace you change the name of the gala from spring meeting to summer meeting and kept all the same weapons on it. it has been there so long and ive done it so many times ive got everything from that gala except the lambo. and im not goin to do it to try and get 1 thing.

will you change the equiptment on the gala. and put some more vehicles in the game. like the original mobster vehicles.

Saluti,

I don't plan to get heavily involved in Mob2 like I am in Mobsters (ie, five accounts :p ) Nor will I invest in two different games.... However, that doesn't stop me from playing the game for kicks and for pure fun. As we speak I have racked in many favor points and are just stockpiling them until I find a good reason to go AWOL with them.

Mob1, simply put. I. WANT. MY. KATANA. :D As a landlord in the game of mobq, I have taken the game MUCH slow than other players, I have only recently about a month ago started trying bounty hunting (with some success on Envoy of Greed) for Myspace. I have not tried the Hitlist riding method...but may in time. I may be a veteran player on Myspace and using what I know to be better on Facebook, but even still I will play, not as advently as most, but I will play....

I wish you the best of luck, despite how troublesome things are appearing to seem

[gdup813]

not a facebook fan... we need new game development for higher levels in M1..

and to the person that said limit property to stop low level transferring... why, whats so wrong with doing money transfers on lower levels?
everything else said was pretty good ideas

[blahman]

When that idea was first suggested of 100 quantity territory and actually heavily discussed, it would be obvious as to how it could be abused. Think about a low level transfer of a couple billion. Now, how much are casino's at level 1? A couple billion could get you 100, which is an instant 35M/hour. Too damn much and there will be way too many low level listers. I mean you could make low levels making 100M easy and sell them for cheap. 100 quantity without restrictions would basically break the game.

I said it and what blahman said is why:

It will be abused! I don't care that it happens now so much, but it's not an intended game feature and no one just starting the game should be given a free $35m/hour boost and possibly more.

[Hey Iran]

Facebook sux! I will not be going there nor playing mobsters 2 WTF!..You create a few Apps...One takes off and what do you do...Try to create another app off it... another app (that's all it is)...I have far to much time and money in this to do it again ..Nor do I care for another app let alone on a site I don't care for!...Thus why I spent time on this one...Want me to play..Ok fine...Any and all money put in this app make active in that app.:eek:

This is just crazy!

Waste of time...Hope playdom is paying ya well...You know this won't become what Mobsters is.

Good One GF, High Five!


NOT!

[Please be Mobsta]

if this was brought onto the original myspace mobsters, i would quit

[ZGillman]

Godfather,
Is this what you wanted? Every loyal member complaining to you?
You said we would have updates almost 2 weeks ago, and we haven't seen anything.
Is this your update? A brand new game for more people to gripe and complain over.

Hope this is what you really wanted, and like someone above said, I hope Playdom is paying you well.
I know that if I created a game, and it took a turn for the worse, I would work to get that game back up to speed instead of creating a new one.
Making FACEBOOK Mobsters 2 isn't making any of the MYSPACE Mobsters people happy.
And isn't Myspace Mobsters and the loyal players what got your game off the ground and running?
Then you just hang us out to dry with new games and new apps on the iPhone.
Thats like getting elected president and not telling your campaign manager 'thank you'.

Hope your happy...

[C-Flo]

to me looks like nothing positive for mobsters 2. lol maybe you should enquire some sort of LE car or weapon for joining mob 2 in mob 1.

[holytacoshells]

I haven't really been able to play with it, but I think you need to allow it to where it supports more browsers than Firefox and Internet Explorer since few people use those browsers anymore. They have went down the drain with all of the features and all that crap.

If you could have it where it works on Chrome much better, that would be greatly appreciated. But I think with all the things said here in the forums that will have to be back burner material for now.

[blahman]

Chrome has less of a market share than both of those browsers. It even has less a share than Safari...

[--ZAKZ--]

we despritaly need more properties on myspace mobsters 1. im lvl 400 and i got nothing to look forward to for property, missions, weapons. all im doin now is buying more of the stuff there is. my bounty is at 5 bil and shit is getting expensive.

[--ZAKZ--]

ThePaperMaker, now the Godfather will still say "The game is not ruined" even though his best player thinks so.

exactly. he doesnt even ride anymore. hes gone to his low accts.

[redwinger]

I know, but TPM is still his best player.

and im what??? chopped liver?!?! lol!! can i be at least the g.f.'s best worst critic???

[--ZAKZ--]

I know, but TPM is still his best player.

i kno. alot of the made men quit and they are still the top players. it makes less people i can get a bounty on. lmao

[--ZAKZ--]

and we need more different minigames. not the ambush ones anymore. like an actual person shooting one. and have like a score board and whoever get top ten get a certain amount of favor points. and you get skill points for winning

[holytacoshells]

TPM is not his best player, if you had that many hired guns and went riding, made a set up like Murda to start with, then went ahead and started adding health after the guns made a difference, you would probably ride like him too.

[dravensteel311]

just woundering, but how does myspace feel you trying to get people to join facebook, hmmmm remember myspace help you get your little game up. i mean myspace cant be to happy with that. thats like a show on nbc telling people to watch cbs to get part two of a show.

[Ajiryn]

and im what??? chopped liver?!?! lol!! can i be at least the g.f.'s best worst critic???

With your recent topics, you're catching up. :D

Eh. I really don't know what to say about this one. Since it's Facebook, I suppose it has the plus of me being able to run it along side of MS Mobsters.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. Besides, what's the worst that can happen? If this game DOES take off as the next best thing since the original Mobsters- Hey, you never know- I'd at least like to have a head start against the morons.

[i3luechaos]

I don't use facebook, it would be nice to try it on myspace. I figure the loyalty that came from players started here (myspace), it should of been released here.

They are two completely different games. Remember, MySpace just loves the attention anything brings to them. And if people are curious enough to play one..... surely they just might look at going with the other site.

Besides, MySpace has enough users to form it's own country, and Facebook has.... well, that cr*ppy commercial we have to see before movie previews.

No worries.

[tankerboy69]

I think that the new changes of the background are stupid.i would rather the old ones back.You should honestly have left that part alone.i think that we do need to make Chuck Norris a LE item.LoL.i think you should have an apache LE item or like a MLRS/that would be great.

Yeah, that could've been one of his other 'improvements'!
Changing the background on the page??

Is this what he does when he says he'll do other things?
Just keeps us on the edge of our seats then releases a brand new game?! Wowzers

[blahman]

The whole changing of the background was just to showcase the iPhone thing. I mean, he has the little announcement section filled with it and a huge section at the top. It's like he's using Mobsters as a platform to push the iPhone game on people. I feel like a tool every time I see it.

We're being used!

[Ajiryn]

This is news? You don't get to the top-app status by sitting around and pandering to every single user.

:rolleyes:

My only beef with Mobsters 2 right now is how f*cking hard it is to get the thing to install correctly. But, that's more of a FB kinda thing.

[Jeffico Stapinski]

As much dislike as I put out for M2 I dont think itll be too bad of an app.

I think most of the hate stems from change...people are so used to M1 that having a sequel comes out makes them feel threatened, and thus, gets defensive.

I will give M2 a try, as I have a facebook account, if anyone has any good ways of finding mobbies quickly on facebook let me know, Im going to hit the add-me forum here in a few.

If I like M2 all the disliking comments coming from me will cease, however if I dont, I'll probably end up back here with more constructive criticism.

and a LOT of props to you GF for not caving in and arguing back in the face of all this criticism and down talk...I can only imagine how many keyboards and monitors youve broken by venting rage...lol

[Jeffico Stapinski]

I don't use facebook, it would be nice to try it on myspace. I figure the loyalty that came from players started here (myspace), it should of been released here.

With myspace having such a huge fanbase releasing a game thats full of bugs and glitches can be devastating to both Mobsters and Playdom, its best to release it on a smaller social network where news wont spread as fast about minor bugs and such.

Good reasoning. Ownage.

[holytacoshells]

Alright since DQB keeps closing all other threads and wants it all here. Then here I go:
1. When will you cater to higher levels? You know it's needed, we want it badly.

2. The new apps launched are great, they really are, but how is this going to work now? You have to divide your attention amongst everything now.

3. Facebook mobsters is awesome, I'm not going to lie. I've maxed out on bounties on a new account two days straight now, and it's only two days old as an account. But will working on Facebook deter the company from Myspace where most of your users are anyways?

4. When will you start giving us more of a heads up and stop beating around the bush in layman's terms.

5. (just for giggles) When does Chuck Norris get released as you promised? :p

That is all

~Holytaco~

[RiskyFingers]

Here, here for Chuck Norris. ^Well said. +rep :D

[unknownENEMY]

I think the reason the GF made it to facebook so he could just brag that mobsters is #1 on myspace and now facebook. But really come on GF, like the normal weapons you can buy on Mobsters 2 are LE ones on M1. It dosen't make sense, the graphics for guns are terrible. I just erased M2 on my facebook cause it just takes up space. I'm not going to add 1000 more people to my facebook for mobbies. That is just ridiculous. Take of M2 and put all that energy into improving M1 the original mobsters... Where are all these new updates you been promising? All you did was just stir up a pot of crappyness.

[redwinger]

In all reality if the guy just came out and said i need your guys ideas cuz im making a new game called mob2. Instead of making that question forum seem like it was for mob1 some of the question he might use for mob1 but its my belief it was used to create mob2, who knows i might of invested in mob 2 like i did in mob1 but due to the deceit, weather it was intentional or not. I will not migrate any cash or time in mob 2 or the i-phone. ;-( that dont make him a total bad guy just on this issue. He needs to make it right to gain trust again.

[The Paper Maker]

I think the reason the GF made it to facebook so he could just brag that mobsters is #1 on myspace and now facebook.

What's really going on is... Playdom bought the game from the originator. They probably paid more than they should have therefore they have to make a ton of money off of it for it to be profitable. Thus they have the "sell out stuff" on here in order to try to recoupe what they spent. I'm sure facebook is paying something for mobsters to be on there as well and they're getting even more money from the sponsors now and the weak iPhone app. So the real reason they've done this is the same reason George Foreman always came back.... Greed.....

The only problemw ith this reasoning is that the iPhone virsion is vitrually idenical. Actually, it has a lot less than the actual mobsters game itself. The only benefit from it is a new acheivement and 2 henchmen. That is it. Other than that he is just promoting the same game but another way to play it.

Greed.....

Ya know what man, I've really thought you to be the asshat for quite sometime. But now I get what you are saying, and I agree. (Not with the whole rider thing, you coulda still pwned, you riders just gotta unite ;) )

Greed is what drives every capitalistic economy in this world, somehow they always work out, even if it screws us little guys for these starbuck sippin douchebags on facebook (I have facebook, for mobsters, but only because I can totally pwn on there as a hunter, I suck at the regular, tbh)

Honestly, I randomly hitlist people at times, hoping to piss them off for a fight get nothing, but w/e that's not the topic at hand. The topic at hand is, you were right, and I was a dick. Sorry man. (Gio take your torch w/e but I doubt you'll ever see TPM in OT in flirt apology thread)

Hopefully he finally takes our advise and tells playdom to shove it up their ass or get on the ball. But I doubt that :rolleyes:

[redwinger]

The whole changing of the background was just to showcase the iPhone thing. I mean, he has the little announcement section filled with it and a huge section at the top. It's like he's using Mobsters as a platform to push the iPhone game on people. I feel like a tool every time I see it.yea i wish hed but my nose picking mobster back ground back on. ;-)

[redwinger]

heres my idea. i think he needs to make a mobsters 1 midnight massacre mission for us. where the mission consists of mob1 mobbies sneaking into the mob2 mobbies camp via a Trojan horse, and while the mob2 mobbies slept we come out of our Trojan horse and sneak into the sleeping quarters of mob2 take out our mob1 b-day cakes and ram em streight up mob2 mobbies wazoo. and bam mission complete.
rewards will be as follows:
1. we get that gay cake off our mob1 pages and get it replaced with a better weapon
2. we get 2 Chuck Norris henchmen. one with the beard and one without. ;-)

[LITTLE PAULIE WALNUT]

There was no room for misinterpretation of your words, you were crystal

clear. You never made any attempt to explain "that many of the new and

"different" Mob2 changes may not get ported back to Mob1 because it would

fundamentally change the game that you all love" What you did say was

"That being said, the lions share of truly unique features will most likely end

up in Mob2. It's just the nature of a sequel" The nature of a sequel is to

completely replace the original. A good majority of Mobsters players have

been gaming for decades, and it has been proven repeatedly."because it

would fundamentally change the game that you all love" I can't speak for

everyone but the game that I love continues to improve itself. If a particular

feature in Mob2 is truly better, why wouldn't you implement it into the

original? ANSWER.....It is more profitable to create a whole different game,

you didn't release it on myspace because you want to have your cake

(myspace) and eat it too (facebook) it's called double dipping. In a

relationship it would be called cheating. I know you are a smart guy, but it's

crazy naive for you to think we would be happy about seeing the death of

something we love. Save the talk of "this is not the end" or

"misinterpretation of my words" that's just backpedaling, The cat is out of

the bag, we know what happens next, please just try to make it right for

those of us that helped build this "empire".


Hey Battalion,

Honestly I think this is a misinterpretation of my words. Mobsters 1 has a LONG life ahead of it. I was simply stating that many of the new and "different" Mob2 changes may not get ported back to Mob1 because it would fundamentally change the game that you all love.

It's a matter of creating another stream of revenue. As you can plainly see, absolutely no new features of any sort are being added to Mobsters. They're only releasing LE items so they can generate a monstrous cash flow on a game that requires little to no capital to maintain. Mobsters "1" has been dead for a long time, it doesn't take a dedicated gamer to figure that one out. Playdom flushed Mobsters down the toilet the moment they stopped adding new content to the game and virtually turning it into a pay-to-play system. Why you even bother putting a disclaimer about favor points not being necessary for gameplay in the stupid game is beyond me.

Rather than expand the game by adding new features, equipment, etc it's become nothing more than a money mountain that virtually follows the trends of leading social networking games like Mafia Wars. The opportunity to be a pioneer in social gaming kicks at your door, screaming and all you do is follow the ones who do maintain the creative genius to keep people playing their games. I remember when LE items were disappearing like free meals at Denny's -- now less people are eating them up and at a slower pace because gradually they get sick of the same old crap; "limited edition" items that really make no difference in the outcome of a fight. Mobsters will die a slow death if the game isn't changed. You can't ride the favor point wave forever as a stream of revenue and regurgitating the game (Playdom's games in general) onto another platform and copying more of Zynga's material isn't going ensure a "long life" for anything.

Mobsters was good when it was small, as most products on the market are. Unfortunately, turning it into a corporation (i.e. the formation of "Playdom") has taken the dedication out of it and replaced it with mass marketing and leads-gathering rackets. Players are selling their identities and fighting with phantom companies to get favor points for crap equipment because, well, no one at Playdom is bothering to add any creative content to the game. Ask yourself this, think of the GREATEST mob movies, games and stories out there, in any of the aforementioned formats did anyone use;

A cornershot rifle?
Miniguns?
Guided missile launchers?
Steyr AUG's?
Multiple Grenade Launchers? (stolen from Mafia Wars)
Kriss Recoilless rifles?
M-60's?

I mean, seriously, is it an army game or a mafia game? It's a giant, unoriginal charlie-foxtrot of mindless favor point garbage that has so much potential to be a great game. I remember mentioning here (in one of my few posts) how long it took you to add a TOMMY GUN to a MOBSTERS-THEMED game... It's pathetic and of course Playdom doesn't care, especially with EA executives joining the frey because EA, for the most part, produces CRAP and that's what Playdom's games have degenerated into; CRAP.

The only problemw ith this reasoning is that the iPhone virsion is vitrually idenical. Actually, it has a lot less than the actual mobsters game itself. The only benefit from it is a new acheivement and 2 henchmen. That is it. Other than that he is just promoting the same game but another way to play it.

I don't care if it's "identical". He is using my space (wasn't meant to be ironic, btw) in the game to throw advertisements at me. What if Soul Calibur on the PS3 had an ad on it for the version for the X-Box 360? Let alone that being on the title screen.

well the godfather said that there would be someone thing new every 2-3 weeks, so far the only new thing has been LE items. and half of us wont go on facebook cause we dont like it, that same half wont get the big apple casue we dont have a iphone or itouch. the only loyal people are sticking on myspace mobsters. i tried facebook and i didnt like it. it was a rip-off version of myspace mobsters. just stick to updating myspace mobsters.

and the only reason im here is casue i cant log into mobsters from any of my 3 accts. it doesnt say its down for maintance it just dont load.

i relly don't like the way the territory system is set up. that some pay out after 15 mins, 30 mins, etc. plus the price of them for what they pay out. i played this game for about 5 levels, decided to stop playing. its just not fun. and im just concerned that mobsters 1 will be neglected. i hope for the sake of the game im wrong. but maybe i will be into the game more as more time passes.

I played m2 for a while, then all of a sudden i didn't have any way to get to the hospital, the tab was gone, i had to hit attack, then use the you are too weak try going to the hospital link to heal. That made me want to quit. When you fight, the screen to show the results needs work because it's confusing. You also have little icons to show what you need to do missions and there is no legend or key to show you what the hell it is. I hit my 1 year anniversary on M1 about 3 weeks ago. I tried m2 out of curiousity, will never play it again. Also, on my level 533 I have had the same 10 people on my fight list. I know for a fact that boss dawg and many others auto heal, i wouldn't mind having more people in my fight list. Somebody told me if i change the region i might get different people in my fight list. M1 yes M2 no. thanks for the game i still enjoy playing it.

GodFather this is the section for godfather polls. Put one up. Of all suggestions that we have posted on the audience thing. Then I think that might let you know of what the people of mobsters really want. make it a big one. Make people come to the fourm and really vote. I mean the audience thing out of a like the million of people that are on mobsters only this many came to voice there opinions.

1,547 people have submitted 1,875 questions and cast 92,581 votes

add a poll to the game itself? do a weekly poll or something. for updates that people would like to see come in.
This is probably more of a suggestion than a opinion but I feel that this would've helped because you could have posted a poll saying should we do a mobsters 2 or should we do the I phone thing.

There is slots? in M2? What lvl do you need to be?

[glenzhang]

When that idea was first suggested of 100 quantity territory and actually heavily discussed, it would be obvious as to how it could be abused. Think about a low level transfer of a couple billion. Now, how much are casino's at level 1? A couple billion could get you 100, which is an instant 35M/hour. Too damn much and there will be way too many low level listers. I mean you could make low levels making 100M easy and sell them for cheap. 100 quantity without restrictions would basically break the game.

the price is not only depend on how many u owned? and also depend on ur level too???

:eek:

[glenzhang]

i do not have lot of time to play mob2

i think i have play too much on mob1

y here is a mob2? is it not good just develope mob?

for me, here is no reason to play another game, and no time

[SuperPysz]

the price is not only depend on how many u owned? and also depend on ur level too???

:eek:

It doesn't because no such feature exsists. What he was saying is that there SHOULD be level and income restrictions placed on a buy 100 feature. By that I mean: example: "you need to be level 100 and make $250m/hour before you have the option to purchase in bulks of 100". If you don't have such a restriction, you will have people transfering to level 1 accounts and giving them $35m/hour incomes from much much much less money than it would normally take from transfers.

Hey godfather i've been playing MOBSTERS since the very beggining and i hope more equipment and achievements are on their way. But the thing is that for me i just cant get favor points. The process to these surveys is long and complicated and i dont have any money to buy the points.

All i want is more equipment, missions, and achievements. AND a simpler system to get favor points.

[The New Murder Inc]

I don't think I'll be playing it. I downloaded it on my Facebook just to look around but like others have said, people that have been playing the original for a long period of time (like myself) probably aren't going to want to fool with it. If Mobsters were my game, with as many people playing it as they do, I'd be trying very hard to improve the gameplay rather than starting something new that is going to have it's own problems to work out.

[redwinger]

I think the G.F. could of saved himself a lot of time and money if he would of taken a poll both here and in the game broadcast about what we thought of a new mob2 app, but instead went behind our backs and used our ideas for this game to make a mob 2 and now might loose his ass.:rolleyes: i understand some people like mob 2 but not nearly as close to those who like mob 1. although i do understand his point that some of our ideas would eiter screw with the outcome or simply couldn't be done on this app. but, all we really wanted was a energy tab, bounty limit lifted, new missions for us 400 plus level players and a henchmen or two, and at the very least better l.e. items if not new weapons. how that couldn't be implemented is beyond me. :rolleyes: in short this blew up in his face like an elephant with diarrhea.

[chinefoo]

This is most likly what happened, playpen probably had a new SMARTguy in marketing and said, with mobsters 2 we can tell facepalm we can get thier users up just like myspace...
now im willing to bet reality has set in and while yea im sure something is happening there, i can bet with certenty that probably not quite 1/16 the peeps play mob 2 on facepalm!

now the apple thing well i dont and will not get a iphone! useless to me! cant run anything i use with it ! however i know peeps who have it and dl that app..... it ran so good and the ease of play was so truly awsume, they deleated it ! dunno if thats the norm but im willing to bet playpen isnt happy

[blahman]

I'm willing to bet most people will get it for the items, then delete the app as they have no intention of actually playing it when they aren't near a laptop. It doesn't surprise me that they would do something like that. As for the Mobsters 2 choice of social networking site, it seems like facebook is just their test bed. They want to release "hit" apps on to Myspace and just any crap app on to facebook as less people will play it there. But if he announces it on the forums, then more people will post their thoughts/bugs about it, so it will transition to Myspace faster. Which, by the looks of it, I'm doubting is going to happen because it really isn't getting a whole lot of positive feedback.

Exactly my point earlier

[uSuck/iFIGHT/BellaDeath]

TPAM's have made very good points, what I see is this, the orginal GF is no longer, the noob who is the now current GF knows nothing about the community of players and little about these types of games.

Once overdrive failed, and they are looking for a follow up app, while trying to market it with the mobsters name they think the "grass is greener", rather then tending to the grass they have.

I am 100% convinced the orginal GF is long gone, and some unlucky person got the job of picking up the ball. This person was not around for the begining of the app, not a member of the community in game play, unfamiliar with the forums or its users, and furthermore, ignores the answers that are right in front of them.

Many of my friends and I freely spent money on this app because we liked it and we could. Over the last 3-6 months sales have declined ( except sales from fruad, which they won't stop ) and most of the community is stale within the app and regrets the time and possible money invested into it with the introduction of a second version.

Honestly the current caretakers of the app mobsters are lucky then even have players who login daliy anymore and due to the decline, they are grabbing at straws to recover the lost revenue.

I have made a facebook account just to try this game and my advice to any1 that was thinking about doing it: DON'T!!!!! Who was on drugs when y'all decided to put it on Facebook only??

[Smoke'm]

This game is officially starting to suck. Alot of us have spent countless hours and money in efforts to get platnum accounts by choice. Now we are forced to spend yet even more money on the game with the iphone and gambing achievments being mandatory in order to achieve platnum status. I personaly have spent around 400.00 between 6 accounts and it seems like a slap to the face of those who have spent good money already. Not all of us have iphones and we shouldnt be penalized for not having them. Not all religions allow people to gamble either.. I say we should all go to facebook and play !!!!! this alone is going to drive the hard core mobsters like aka crazy and myself off the game. Alot of people in chats are talking about quiting. Thanks Godfather we appreciate you taking care of the faithful who have lined your pockets with cash !!!!

wow, um... i have nothing to say about M2 Vendetta because M1 was almost perfect as is. some people on Mobsters spent plenty of time on this game, and now M2 just comes out and doesn't make benefits for people with awesome characters? why? What have the people of mobsters done to have this happen? I'm not saying get rid of M2 (idk why), i'm saying make an easier transfer to M2 like a mission that depending on your level it gives you Favor Points or Skill points, Items or even exclusive missions like on Mobsters: Overdrive with the Ford GT.

when you need god father points and you do the survey under free then it has you fill out more stuff that you need to pay for when its just cheaper to buy them...why is it under free then??? >:-(

[134the enemy134]

And if there's no war in mobsters, might as well just call it Mobsters 2: landlord edition

Lol, that funny, and yes godfather, I know your just trying to make another very successful game but we honestly would rather have a perfected first successful game before moving to another... Take this into consideration

[Kathy1296]

I went and tried Mobsters 2...I did not like it at all.

I do not like Facebook, I rarely go there, I feel like I am being stalked there, every time you breathe it wants to post it on your wall. Everyone I know does not need to know what I am playing, doing, buying, etc...it is none of their business.

[uSuck/iFIGHT/BellaDeath]

some of the requirements for missions just don't make sence... its like you used some type of RNG to choose them instead of a logical choice...

here is just 1 example of many:

I'm level 29, Miami, Infringe on a Weapon-Smuggling Ring, 20 fish hooks, 2 mob members, and 33 energy.

how the frack you gonna stop a weapons smuggling ring with 20 fish hooks?

who brings fish hooks to a gun fight? :confused:

Oh no!.. A game essentially about the 'mafia' that doesn't seem "logical".. lol.. Explain what, if any, logic is used by actual mobs? I'll tell you something that isn't logical.. Wasting your time on facebook..

[Mikewashere8]

So the godfather creates a page asking for comments and whatnot, and hasn't responded once to anyone.

Bottom line - Mobsters 2
FAIL
Now that this shit has been released mobsters won't see much more then a few hundred more LE items.

hehe the GF gotcha... :p
---------------------------------

on a more positive note:

as I stated on another thread its the social game play that is established with users that I prefer, over the app its self...
that is why I started the CTC Mafia Family when I was playing monsters...

I am wondering how wars & fighting will occur and be played out with all the different cities and areas to travel to...

also I noticed the classes are very easy to achieve...
maybe reverse the visual aspect of the family tree of classes from bottom to top
rather then the current top to bottom...

ALSO
could you add classes like the rank system in the forums?
this way all in game families could have a uniform rank system for game play...

unlike classes, ranks would have strict requirements like combinations of achievement metals, levels, gear, mob size, fights won, etc...
I think thie would be a huge draw for the players who are the their own mob bosses and in game mafia's they run

Neat Idea :)

[darkness3608]

Here is a idea... just thought of it so there will be flaw.

What are people to do who spent 240 skill points on energy to do the mission fairly before the send your bud some energy thing?

How about make it where those who have put skill points into energy get a % of speed of getting it faster than someone with 10 energy with alot of friends that give him energy to do the same mission that I do?

I think it is unfair. so maybe for every 10 energy or 20 or even 50 energy that we would get a % of speed added to it in addition to energy. This would make it so that those who have invested into energy get a use out of it.

EDIT: more thoughts.
What if at 200 energy you could even give us 2 energy per 5 mins or something?

[aliday]

I have read a few pages and some of you all are getting alittle to upset. Its new and some people don't do well with change. Why don't you give it a chance maybe he won't forget about the original mobster. Maybe was just busy getting the second one up for awile. Also He has to think about paying his bills and all thoughs other responsabilies. I agrew mobsters hasnt been the same latly but give him a chance to fix a few things befor you start yelling and trash talking. Also whats wrong with him wanting to make a few other games so what big deal. Who knows give the guy a chance. But I would lisen to a few of the ideas on this forum. Also what this posting is suppost to be about I kinda like mobsters 2 its different just dont like how fighting you don't make much. other then that Its got my vote.:cool::cool:

[uSuck/iFIGHT/BellaDeath]

Neat Idea :)

thank you,

remember to reverse engineer the rank system from the top down, meaning the highest ranks must have +90% of all in-game awarded special items, and do not include any rank requirements that would require favor points or LE items to achieve. That will turn the players against you for sure. I did this for my in game mafia and my rank system was one of the most prefered and many players from other mobs used it as a format for theirs... oh and Ranks would show on the stat page of course.

it took me several months to perfect my system, but this was due to matching the players chatroom permissions and finding out how players would abuse the system. Of course I'm not updating my blog anymore but you can search my blog to view an example of how I designed it.

I like the progression of ranks you set up for the forums and if I had not designed my progression beofre you added them to the forums I would have followed them.

some of the sample catagory requirements I used for ranks where as follows:

RANK LEGEND:
Leadership Role: Primary Responsibility Required by that Rank
Opperations: Management Role within the Mafia
In Charge of: Main Purpose of the Rank in Game Play
Specialized in: Tasks Required within Game Play
Recruitment: New Members Required to Achieve that Rank
Mob: Your Total Mob Size
Attack/Defence/Health/Stamina: Your Total skill points required
Level: Level Required for that Rank
Bounty: Bounty Required for that Rank
Henchmen: Type of Henchmen Required for that Rank
Equipment: Items Required for that Rank
Achievement Metals: Metals Required for that Rank

a more detailed look can be found @ blog.myspace.com/macbmp3

-------------------------

also the players do not want to feel that they are clones...

another system that you could add to apps are more along the lines
of the basics of an RPG character sheet.

During character creation ( when you assign your name, but beofre game play ) the player could have several options to give a more custom feel to their character. It took myspace several years to realize that people become emotionally attached to thier profile, the same is true for these app characters. Additional stats could include a drop down menu of 1 time fixed fictional choices for things like, sex, height, weight, starting age ( for giving the characters birthday gifts in game ) country of origin ( aka birthplace ) hair color, eye color, a single special skill ( that had in-game modifiers, with at least 20+ to choose from ) While I'm not a coder, I think these would be simple if/else choices and easily added to the databases... some options may be connected to the avatars tho...

its very important in get feedback from players who have run in-game mafia's for 6 months or more
so that the game makers can troubleshoot and design the game around the social parameters of the app
rather then just a point and click system for levels and xp...

the MM catagories need some tweeking too... maybe I'll start a poll on another thread for that one...



so when am I hired :D

This.
I've personally been with Mobsters for a while. The forums too, though lurking 95% of the time, but I agree. How about you give the game a chance instead of bashing facebook/mobsters 2? I don't have the tl;dr on this whole thread, as I really don't care that much to read it all. Here's my personal opinion on Mobsters 2: The game is much more balanced, and I say this in terms of the property system, the "hitlist cost" system, the city system (Yes, a few things need to be tweaked about this, but there were things in Mobsters 1 that had problems that needed fixed too, mind you), and the part where you can only use SOME of your mobsters to fight (I.E. In Da Bronx you can only use 5 Mobsters and 5 hired guns in a fight). Sure they could have been more creative with the mission system and masteries. It's even much easier to add people to your friends on facebook :).

TL;DR: Atleast try the game before you throw it to the side, and I personally think it's balanced better than Mobsters 1.

[MADE SLAPPYS]

GODFATHER,

Please add a 2nd chance area to purchase all of the SPECIAL GF weapons and cars for all of the peeps that missed them the first time...or to add them to new acts .... I would purchase every special item for my act now....YOU ARE missing out on the money...lol...

Thank you

[firebirdude]

I refuse to participate in Mobsters on Facebook in order to salvage what little life I have left.

[twaspisted]

You know, I recently went through an ordeal with another gamer on another Playdom platform game where it was not about how good I may or may not be, I was anialated simply because I did NOT have the umpteen toons umpteen users were throwing at me. Personally, I LOVE the idea of having LIMITED property, LIMITED ranges, and I have NO doubt that someone somewhere sometime will find loopholes around it and I will sooner or later have to join 'em or bail but it is what it is for now and I do like the idea. For the record I APPLAUDED the Casino's being stripped from the lvl 1s! It is, in Mobsters, pretty pathetic how people can just sit there on level one pretty much forever with no remorse! I got another idea just coming to my head everyone is going to love to hate, but I like the idea, personally.

lvl ones shouldnt get property in my mind. once they get to lvl 10 then and only then should they get property, I think that the HL should be closed for them also

[Makedde]

its on face book and it sux dont waste your time. it will only dumb you down. ;-)

I dont have Facebook and I wont bother then. I like the Mobsters I have already.

[dravensteel311]

i gave in and gave it a shot, it sucks..plain and simple, when i first started mobster i was hooked and was so in to it, mobster 2 did not have that affect...plus damn facebook just plain bites.

[RiskyFingers]

I'm still trying it...not doing too bad, the thing that bothers me most about facebook is the advertisement column and the damnable notifications that never stop on the lower right hand corner. If I could disable the ads column and and get a full page for the game I would like it a hell of a lot more. Anyone have any secrets as to how to disable that advertisement sidebar, shoot me a message, okay?

[cocknlock]

i will definately not get mobsters 2. mobsters 1 is hardly working any now. how you going to keep up both mobsters when you can't keep up one? i would be very dissapointed if i had actually spent real money on this game.

[Doford]

I was thinking that it would be a good idea for deaths to mean something. When you are at war people just log off and cant be killed anymore. If you make it were if your dead and cannot be attacked then you cant make any money. I believe this would make the game a whole lot more interesting.

[D EVOLUTION X]

I just want to be able to put all my money in the bank with no level requirement. I have like 125Billion dollars I mean come on. And about Mob2. I have hate facebook, It's a rip off of Myspace.

[Icepick Flight]

Basically I've spent tons of hours and about 50 bucks on Mobsters 1. Mobsters 1 has literally destroyed my myspace accounts so that I now only use those accounts for mobsters. I use my facebook account for friends and family networking. I won't do apps on facebook (not just mobsters, any apps).

Since Mobsters 2 came out I am reluctant to spend money on favor points because I fear, even though we've been assured M1 isn't going to fade, that M1 will fade.

For me it's mobsters 1. That's it.

[Gangster Bugsy]

I like Mobsters 2. I like the storyline aspect of it. I hope there are just as many one time, plot developing missions when I get to higher levels. I also only use my facebook for networking and won't add random people I don't know to get more mob members. At least favor points are really easy to come by in M, I already have 2 hired guns without paying anything.

[Icepick Flight]

thank you,

so when am I hired :D
Judging how you cozy up to GF now and again, I thought you were already hired :D

[xxfubar]

some ways i do like it,the one thing i dont like is the fact the way the property is set up,i like to stay on level one to get a little income going for weapons and healing as i need them,other then that i cant complain 2 much,its just 2 earlyer yet

[elliottleslie]

i dont agree with the bank.I was trying to get on the wealthiest part of the MM but now i cant because all the players on higher levels can have more money.And ill never get that many levels that fast ive been trying for 2 months. I have 60 bil that I cant put in the bank,and thats plenty to put me on the MM list.

and also, when im getting masteries through achievments im not getting the favor points at all. this has been going on for 2 months & went to the missing favor points and sent a email...and never heard anything.

thanks

[karp986]

i would like to be able to delete a charactor if i didnt like it. at least once.

[RiskyFingers]

This game really needs some promotion. There is no one ever on the hitlist and no one to fight in any of the cities at level 50 (well not worth my time to hunt down players to attack) Are they planning any kind of promotion, to bring new people into the game or will it always be the same old players who are either mobbed up and can't fight each other or know each others names and don't attack because they belong to a mobbies mob? I feel that this is a credit card players game, because the missions payouts are so low, we cannot afford the astronomical prices for the items needed and when you see your character sinking, you are more willing to pull out that credit card to arm yourself against those who already have max weapons and armor. I think I will stick with Mob1. It was fun for a short while, though.

[I Don Corleone I]

I play Both.
Mobsters 1 and 2.
I am OK on both.
I think Mobsters 2 Needs a few updates eg: The experience ratio. It is just. WRONG.
The money ratio.
It's like 10K For Armour and it takes like? 10 hours to get 7k from territory and its like 40K a Upgrade.
You need to fix the money ratio a bit more. I agree that you want it a bit hard, Like you don't want any knob walking around with the top of the range gear, But least do something please? It is stuffed, And also, It takes so long to load like wtf.
And the heal button for riders.
I can still use it i rid for 1 hour.
But can you temper with that a bit please?
I like the thing you have done with achievements, Favor points aren't as hard to get, Thats Thumbs up on that one :]But yeah, umm, Like the money thing, It's like 50k to hit-list me im level 13, Its hard to get money, So none hit-lists me, and i tried to sell territory and it wont go down :(
Respect from Kyle. :]

[Brutus Barone]

First of all, just want to say thanks for making such an entertaining game. I'm new to Mobsters and I have found it very entertaining so far.

(1) Offer Support Needs Improvement
- Had an issue with getting my favor points after doing a couple of offers on Sunday (8/23). Used support to notify admin of the problem. Get a response telling me to contact the vendors, yet there is no system for this (only cash/credit support). Replied back to support stating this and that the favor points have not been sent yet. Have yet to get my favor points.

(2) Mobster Info
- It would be nice when viewing the mobsters stats (page that shows badges, wins, losses, etc.) if there was a stat on their mob size. If I get attacked and win, then click on the hyperlink to their profile, I have no idea how big their mob is. Can only guess by looking at badges.

(3) Cursor Glitch
- When I put my cursor on something within the game that has a text box (e.g., badge) and then move the cursor away, sometimes the text box keeps on following me around.

(4) Finding Friends
- Should be a tab listing all of my friends who are on Mobsters 2. Not all of my friends who are on Mobsters 2 are actually in my mob. The only way I can see them is if I go into gifts and send to mobsters.

(5) Mobbing Up
Instead of having to exchange e-mail with others, it would be nice to be able to mob up with someone through a button on their profile.

(6) Rival List
I got hit listed by someone today. I figured he would be put into my rival list. Not the case. It would be nice to have that done. Also, I think anyone who attacks you, regardless if they win or lose should be added to my rival list. If they have enough moxie to attack me in the first place, I should be able to counter back in the rival page.

(7) Territories
Bonuses given by territories should be shown within stats.

(8) Attacks
Player stats should show up in a fight instead of items. I could care less what they own, but rather what the points are: 390 Attack vs. 320 Defense.


Thanks for creating this post. It's nice that developers listen to player's ideas! Thanks again for the game!

[Tigerr]

Well I loved the anihlator from july. The 20% comes up pretty often. But them camo pants are broke!!!! Ok I dont have a pair and it seems their 20% is every single attack. So you need to fix that.or make it so that My 4 anahilators give me 80% chance of popping up when I attack. The Missions tied to the tattoo. I dont mind doing the missions but the tats rewards isnt worth the leveling I went through to get it. Seems you want us to do missions too much and level too much. Not sure what your thinking there. The first flaw was the moonshine mission where even after you get plat on distilling you have to go back to that misson I dont know how many times to complete the distributing mission. I never went back to finish it. Now you have 2 other missons which have 3 missions tied to them, One of them holds a gun we cant get anymore so thats a missison very very few will be doing.we all know it takes money to afford the bigger better toys so we dont want to lvl up 40 times in one day. cut back on the exp on the missions and people will be more inclind to actually play EVERYDAY instead of going inactive for a week at a time cause they need to build their bank accounts.The game acts like a slot machine. its rigged against us.If you want us to keep using our favor points in the gambling missions then take out the junk we can buy on any given day.

[uSuck/iFIGHT/BellaDeath]

its getting booring

no one can generate the income to hitlist anyone

making n00bs my betoch is as bad as mobsterbating if they can not fight back


the economy does not support the ratio of increase to the bounty of a player nor the items needed to arm your mafia


really the only good thing M2 has is a much stronger missions platform them M1

[tjlight00003]

i went and tried Mobsters 2: Vendetta since i cant get myspace to work cause of its updates, and i was surprised to find that it was decent, but it feels too similar to Mafia Wars. The game takes a while to load cause i have dial-up. i have said bad things before but im not sure to stick with what i said or not, but i still will say i will play it more on myspace if it was there, finish up with M2 updates, continue with M1 updates, and still interlink them to make a good game plz.


- Tjlight00003 A fan of M1 and a confused player of M2

[Graham The Hammer]

I tried M2 and I got a few things to say...

1. The graphics suck. The images look like something out of a cartoon.

2. The advancement tree confussed me. Why do you HAVE to be JUST this thing or that at whatever level? A master Theif will know all a Pickpocket knows. If the pickpocket has a benefit, why the hell would a master theif not have the same benefit. Likewise, switching PATHS makes little sense, because you all beu LOSE all the benefits of your former title and rank of the great advancement tree.

3. The idea of one time Godfather missions is ok. HOW ABOUT SOME SPECAIL MISSION STUFF OVER HERE??????

4. GIVE US A BAR. GIVE US THE BADA BING. GIVE US THE COYOTE UGLY.
MOBSTERS, STRIPERS AND HARD LIQURE. IT IS THE IMAGE THAT WE ALL THINK OF FROM ANY TIME WE SEE THE MOB ON T.V.

5. Not to be rude but just pull most of Mobsters 2 and launch it in the Original Mobsters. Why go through the hassle of setting it up a seperate game over here. We like it ok... but we hate it too... You get what I'm saying????

{{There are die hard Myspace fans who would never sign up at facebook. So why make us chose anything? Why have us start all over with a new game? Adding our friends...

6. OH AND THE TERITORIES ON MOBSTERS 2 WHAT THE F*CK????
{As a sidenote, it might be cool if we could upgrade territories and properties over here.}

Greetings Mobsters,

Lets try and keep the bulk of the Mob1 vs Mob2 discussion here, so that we don't clutter up the existing forum.

I'm all ears, constructive criticism would be most appreciated, I'm eager to hear what you guys think of the Mobsters 2 Beta release so far. Things that I can improve? any bugs? etc... Anything you guys absolutely hate?

Saluti,
The Godfather

Are you serious?! Do you really care what we have to say? The original Mobsters is full of glitches, bugs, and problems, always has been, and getting worse. If you actually cared about what we have to say, you'd read all the complaints on the forums pages, and do something about it. You seem to do very little if anything to keep Mobsters running smoothly, why should we believe you'll do a better job with Mob2?

How about fixing Mobsters first, then worry about Mob2..

There, you got my opinion.

[619crew]

GF, I want to talk about BOT users. What are you doing about them?? Thats cheating, and there alot of them in mobsters. How are you monitoring this?? I would also recomened that avatiar items not require favor points to own. I understand you wanna get paid, but isn't that why you get sponsors? The few things I can do to get favor points don't work and I don't get my favor points. I, and most Mobsters, aren't rich and can't afford to buy favor points. And the ppl who can afford favor points spend money on bots, so why even have favor points??? I'm just sayin'. And what is the deal with the stupid publish comments box that keeps popping up??? It's friggin stupid.

Ok,

I definitly think that mobsters 2 Should be added to Myspace.

I started it on facebook and liked it i just hate facebook and the way of adding and all.

So i think mobsters 2 should go on myspace, That way you will get alot more Possitive discussion gf.

I'm all ears, constructive criticism would be most appreciated, I'm eager to hear what you guys think of the Mobsters 2 Beta release so far. Things that I can improve? any bugs? etc... Anything you guys absolutely hate?

I don't feel there is too much wrong with how he priced them, I currently have almost no way to get favor points. I can either buy them or do mission masteries thats all I got left M1 btw. and just because you have a high mobster count doesn't mean anything. I can get 500+ easy a week if I tried so having a high mob isnt to much to be proud of. and if you are talking about m2 I am sure there is just as easy ways as I do on M1 to get people

FAILS

[mr snorky]

mobsters 2 is stupid. its playdoms version of mafia wars which sucks

[UnNaMeD1]

Hey Battalion,

Honestly I think this is a misinterpretation of my words. Mobsters 1 has a LONG life ahead of it. I was simply stating that many of the new and "different" Mob2 changes may not get ported back to Mob1 because it would fundamentally change the game that you all love.

The Godfather

I highly doubt that.

[Vanll Ricks]

I don't like Facebook, i have tried it and i don't like it, i like Myspace Mobsters and i hope it stays good and gets better:cool:

[POD Destroyer]

myspace mobsters 2 maybe???

[The_Red_Blood]

I think it would be awesome if people could have 2 or 3 characters per FB account.

[YurWurstNightmare]

I like the game for the most part, but the one thing that will make me stop playing it, and I have heard the same from alot of people is the 24 bounty kill limit. I play the game to work the hitlist...it's my fun and a tremendous amount of peoples also. As I type this I cannot get anymore bounties for 24 hours, so I guess I'll go back to Myspace and play there until my 24 hours are up. I understand trying to eliminate bots, but I think the timer on heal works well. I would rather have a 2 minute timer between kills than nothing for 24 hours after your 24th bounty. Doesnt make alot of sense to me.

[ibitepizzaa]

It would be nice if there was some sort of support system in Mobsters 2 so that people who don't fight as much, like myself, and do a lot of jobs can help their fellow mobsters more then just sending gifts.

[colugino]

I can say at first I was not thrilled about Mobsters 2, but I do like it much better now. It is a lot faster, for one.

Are there any plans to allow us to merge our Mobsters 1 accounts into Mobsters 2? I have spent a lot of time building up my character in Mob1 but with playing Mob2 and MySpace kind of sucking anymore, I rarely go there anymore. I haven't touched Mob1 in like 2 months but I don't want to lose my stuff.

Can an option be added that within a user's profile there can be an "Invite To Join Mob" button or something which would allow us to add members in the game without them having to be on our FB friend's list, or even an option to add someone from their profile which also added them to our FB friends? One of my big issues with Mob1 was that we had to add all these people to our MySpace accounts and they would then clutter up our pages with posts.

Thanks!!!

[stevemwayne]

We need GP bonus' every day like mafia wars. At least one a day. That would make this game a whole lot better.

Why would you add a "add to mob button" Everyone would be walking around with 20000 mobsters, hitlist would eb dry, ;THIIIIIIIINK!

[Falcon Twelve]

i like mob2 but we need better LEs and take away the minigun mission.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO " Favor points are not required for gameplay or advancement"???? I would call a mission game play, and since if you dont have a minigun you can't do the mission, you can't master miami. Take out that and the game will be so much better!

[Graham The Hammer]

I have been giving Vendeta another try. I have to say again that the graphics need a overhaul. They still look like cartoons compared to what can be done or is done over here on myspace. If it has to do with the platform, IE Myspace vs. Facebook, I can see that when you launch Vendeta on Myspace, most players will start over on Myspace... Get ready to hear all the bitching about not being able to transfer accounts from one platform to the other.

The Teritories are still abit odd to me. I think you need to add ALL the Mobsters Original properties to Vendeta. (IE: The Newsstands) Also, alow for multi lot purchase, Upgradeable building are nice, but why do they not produce anything... or do they... Loot items I mean... Like a Moonshine Still.... Makes ammm what,Moonshine I guess...:D

Oh and please do not offer the Pumkin Bomb on Mobsters 1.

[Falcon Twelve]

i know the pumpkin bomb was for halloween but it is bad.......
it got good attack but suckishly bad defense...

[ndrai3gsx]

I am not allowed in, I can't get the game to start, and I am tired of waiting, so if you don't mind, go ahead and take my profile and everything else out of the Mobsters 2 listings. I can't like a game I can't play, and I can't play a game where you won't let me in... Yes I would call this a bug, and I would call it something I hate.

I don't like Mobsters2. lol

[RiskyFingers]

Why did they start censoring the Mob2 Blog? They keep deleting all my posts. I thought it was for opinions and feedback...? I don't appreciate being shut out from posting. I haven't said anything anyone else hasn't said, so I WOULD like an explanation. Others are being censored too. WTF? They can't take a little criticism?

[Houstone Swagger]

mobsters on face book is retarded

[ASC]

Personal view: mobsters 2 is better and requires in part more strategies than mobsters 1 (ya many don't like to think so may not like), i mean u need to balance ur character to get all classes, u can't just go buying all territorys but need to instead choose the best ones for ur deals(either u want to do missions, fight or cash in), also good it gives "weak players" a chance i mean, there is not anymore the need of 500+ players in case u don't wanna add any1 tht isn't actualy your friend, so u can keep just a small group, do missions anywhere and fight in bronx/downtown, or get ur add group and go to the hightest areas, still something i think, FP r indeed easyer, but still pretty hard to get em, a 3 day/1fp(free) basis would b nice (upgradable for 2 days/1fp for sth like 100fp for who would want or 1pf/day for sth like 180fp) like tht u would give free players easy FP but would still give the payed player a v good reason to buy em.

Now i also want to point a negative side: i just mastered the bronx, and indeed i liked the reward, about tht i can't complain, but the HL atack system, i like the fact tht is place based and it avoid low lvl hit hight lvl, but think tht when someone is on hitlist would b able to b atacked by any1 who had the location unlocked(as long as had the energy and the money, outside the bank in this case, not like normal travel tht can b on bank) and after each atack would b able to choose stay or go back ( would hav to pay each atack done).... dunno if this should b in mob2 sugestions too

[LoD Dusty]

i tryed it, and i dont like it, the interface looks odd, i like it in Mob1,
plus mobsters on facebook does not work, its soo much better on myspace.
Also, alot of people have been working hard on there mob1 account to get it a high level, if you have mob2, that mean every one wil have to start again, and im sure people will not like that.

[Mr Sugai]

I have a bit of a query about one of the randomly generated rewards for the "Boost a car" crime in the downtown section. Now I've done plenty of times without gaining a reward (Reasonable, probably just a low % of item acquisition), but when I did get it (3 times at the most, because I got lucky today), I obtained the Ford GT. Now I'm not complaining that it's a bad thing, but I wonder why the "Drive Getaway Car" crime tells me that I require the '64 Impala, which is obtainable through the mission I had mentioned above. Is it some kind of error, or is there just a much lower % rate for obtaining the Impala.

I'd really like to know if anyone else is having this kind of issue themselves. If you do, that would be most helpful.

Thank you fellow mobsters, and have a good day.

[lone_wolf]

i HATE MOBSTERS 2 (until you relase it on myspace cause im not adding ANYONE to my face book sorry)

[Hawes]

is mobsters 2 even worth getting? Ive never played it.. i dont think i will.. i like the original version of most games :)

[goofy12u]

I would like to ask u with what ratio did u put the price of equipment needed for missions and the payback its simply frustrating im a level 77 and i stay broke because everything is outrageously priced it costs us so much more to do missions that what wemake off of them or our properties.you see sir for us to be able to compete even half way with the credit card people we have to buy so much more attack and defence and yet we have no missions to where we can evenget a chance at 100,000 in money but it costs us over 500,000 to even start the platinum level ,yes im frustrated i truly love this game but now that im higher at its so expensive i cant even play i have to sit and let my money build up for at least three days to try to do 1 level of a mission.i cant even get to cayman isles its unreal and somehow unfair: (

[toastrdan]

First off, Mobsters is a great game I really have no idea why but it's an addictive game that you can play almost endlessly. I enjoyed the "tower defense" add because there was more thought involved instead of just pointing and clicking to attack people. I just now started playing Vendetta and so far there is no change except for the excellent gas price changes ($25,000 to $90 for 4 gallons is a good deal). There were no character model changes and the title just looks pretty tacky. The title makes me think that the game is targeted to kids (it looks like some TMNT font) and in my personal opinion it should look more professional (as in movie related) to actually get some attention by people walking by and looking at the screen and being all wtf thats cool. The tabs need some kind of border/color change it just makes me feel like I'm going to fall asleep at any second looking at the screen. Also adding the "tower defense" to mobsters 2 wouldn't really create any differences between the two games, I suggest your objective be to make both of the games playable at the same time as in try to make it a completely different game but still the same (e.g the changes in halo 1 and halo 2; hopefully you know console gaming and you get the point). A good idea imo to replace the tower defense idea is a target practice type of deal it might take a minute with programming but it will be well worth the gf points (e.g www.camperstrike.co.uk). If you're willing to put that much work into it you may as well have some type of pool game you can actually play for the first mission in the game. Either that have a gambling mission that you can actually play e-pool with other players, this would replace yahoo pool and make mobsters 2 a way more awesome game

[IKOM-GODMOTHER]

I've had Mobsters for almost a year and a 1/2...I decided a month ago to try Mobsters2 on my FB account... I hate it compared to the preceeding version. It went too "Mafia Wars" in my opinion.

[Rushhour250]

Well.... Personally I do not like M2....

There will be no way for my to complete all the missions... (I don't bounty hunt)

The bounty system is too much like mafia wars...

And requiring friends to send you items to complete missions is just asinine...

[mafia princess doll]

Mob2 has been nothing but ISSUES of not working right.
And then takes forever to keep up once it does work. Totally impossible to get people on the hit list or u just dont have no one on the list. I am a hit man and cant hit if there are no one to hit. For a site to be down for more than 3 hrs is so rediculious and stupid. My mobbies can play and I cannot. I have deleted all of the cookies and reloaded the flash player and still nothing. I am bout to QUIT this game and post it on my wall to not join nor play this game as it never works right nor up and running all the time. This is very bad juju.

I would like to see there be a restore full health when u level up on mobsters!!!

[sweet_hennessy2008]

I love mobsters...but..why dont u fix all the problems with mobsters one first? Your always adding new stuff but why not fix the problems goin on with the current game?

[sdsman]

I like Mob 2 except for two things. Missions that require items that can only be gotten with points and placing missions that require that I change my path. The first is a bit too much like exhortation. The second means that I can never get 100% on that location.
The points are a sore point with me on many other games. I tried the "free ways" and got hosed. I will continue playing the game for now. Why did you mess things up like that?

[sdsman]

Sorry another issue. Several of the missions require that I get items from my mob to complete. Like Jewelry, people or titles. This sucks because I have a small mob. I don't want to hear the "recruit" stuff. I don't want to overload my facebook account solely for a game.

[volc_om]

I'd like M2 a lot better if it were on myspace. And the following may make you think about it or at least research:
Since Facebook and twitter have taken over and Myspace is going down hill. Myspace has decided to start focusing on more of an online gaming aspect. They are going to keep the social networking stuff but focus more on games. So the news reports say. Check it out and hopefully you come back to M1 and add all those achievements and locations from M2 to M1. I still and will always prefer M1 because I have put so much time into it.:D

That's impossible as they are 2 entirely different platforms. Mob2 is never going to be implemented into Mob1. Completely different games. :cool:

Oh. Well all you have to do is have someone gift you a chevy impala...ask your mob to send you one. That mission only drops occasionally and mostly GT's :)

[seanobx]

i had problems loading the hitlist person. said was in fight. the hit was posted for over 28 minutes so figured it was a glitch. i got 20 hits when she first popped up then the glitch. then it came back and i got another 20 hits. and yet someone else gets the kill? The going census within my mob is that the GF hitlist and the finger mission is a waste since NONE of us, some have 1800 members in their circl have even come close to getting the hit. and me being a level 81 and spent more than a few dollars feel that this is totally unfair and are jsut about fed up with the game. every time we turn around in order to do anything within the game one has to spend money whether it be to buy new items or just energy cause some missions take you to each percentage of completion one at a time. Please let me know if this is going to get any better or shoudl i just give up now since you already have over $900 of my money????

[volc_om]

That's impossible as they are 2 entirely different platforms. Mob2 is never going to be implemented into Mob1. Completely different games. :cool:

Tell me somthing I don't know. :p I know they would have to reprogram everything:cool: but screw M2. I've decided I won't even play it on myspace if they did and I'm deleting my accounts on m2 as we speak. That game is not as fun as M1

M1 FOR LIFE

You can never beat the original:cool:

[street thief]

Been playing m2 for 3 months now, no new missions, nobody to attack, hitlist is broken"never worked unless you were a level 12" lets see what else, i seem to echo some of the problems people are having in m1. im a level 125 and nothing todo but collect my cash and burn energy...when the game gets boring guess what, you go play something else..atleast thats what i did...

[Graham The Hammer]

Strip everything from vendettta and add it to Mobsters on Myspace. Or would that be too complcated for you lazy ass bums to figure out?

[mr snorky]

mobsters 2 is playdoms bull shit version of mafia wars

[WrecklessAbandon2]

Have it on facebook, deleted it.
Sorry, just waaaaay to high maintenence.
I don't want to HAVE to log in every X amount of time, other than once a day. Yes, I usually get on Mobsters 4 times a day or more (except lately with no HL) but I can't always, and I can't stand losing out on money, specifically, just because it took me 20 hours to log back in.
That and I already have a Mob game, there's really no room for a second one.

[WrecklessAbandon2]

Strip everything from vendettta and add it to Mobsters on Myspace. Or would that be too complcated for you lazy ass bums to figure out?

You're just a miserable mother** ain't cha? :D But seriously, calm down there man, not everybody wants what you want, and while I can respect your wishes, it only comes with respect for mine as well.
And if they add everything from Vendetta to Mobsters, I'll be one P.O.'d mother** just like you are now.
Seems like you need a join*. :D

[mandsmary]

honestly, i wish that mobsters would stop changing so much. i liked it how it was. mobsters 2 is ok but if mobsters keeps changing into mobsters2 i will quite both all together and i have put a lot of time and money into mobsters. I dont use a bot and i love fighting hard. im already frustrated as it is with some of the changes. I could not believe that punching thing went on for even a second. omg. i was gonna quit after that if something wasnt done quick. please stop putting so many rules and restrictions. Look at what you have with mobsters. there is no other app like it in the fact that there are huge groups of people forming bonds, families, coalitions....what other app at least in myspace has that? it is this HUGE thing. Beyond im sure your expectations. so why ruin a good thing? and even though i dont use a bot, i dont care that others do i still get bounties when i hunt good ones. I love to hunt and war. if things change that compromise that....i will be leaving mobsters, mobsters 2 and any other playdom games.

[joeflood]

AN OPEN LETER TO PLAYDOM

I play Mobsters 2 because it is easily the best constructed game I have encountered on Facebook. However it has become virtually unplayable because of a type of person it attracts. Bullies, psychopaths and perverts roam free to do as they like with no intervention. In fact – Playdom actually makes a profit out of the depredations of these people because the only recourse against them is ever-escalating real expenditure on equipment and badges.

I am not suggesting that Playdom is directly supporting these activities. However – aspects of the game work strongly in favour of bullies, in comparison with other mafia games.

- credit card players can only be hit by other credit card players
- repeat chain hitting hospital hiders are endemic.
- The most disturbed players often join each other in large mobs where they terrorise at will
Only the weakest players can be hitlisted, and we are encouraged to do it again and again
- the direct interface permits foul language of all kinds
- ones own mafia rarely comes to assist, because they are afraid of retribution

The game is creating not mobsters but monsters, and I expect the anti-social behaviour will soon spill over into the real world. The lack of any real security or action taken on unacceptable behaviour, which at its extreme is felonious, invites litigation not only against the protagonists, but against Playdom and Facebook. I believe that if Facebook or the advertisers knew what is going on in this game, it would be closed down.

One has to ask oneself – why should one have laid out $600 to be hit, camped, harassed, stalked and abused by organised groups of psychopaths – and like so many others I will very soon be leaving the game.

[Body Snatcherz]

The location-based restrictions are dumb. Here's why it suffers from Bloodlines, war. Alright, I'm not sure if you can't list someone in a different region, but that's the biggest problem. I know location-based is probably an attempt at shutting up people complaining about low levels listing high levels (as a low level couldn't list a high level if they can't get to that region) but it's honestly annoying and you'll get low (half-levels) complaining that these higher levels are abusing the feature. Bloodlines is a really good app, but this location-based crap is what made it suffer and not be as popular in the first place (just my opinion). After all, high levels can just run down to lower level locations and list the person or do whatever, then jump back up to a high level location to save themselves from being listed by the lower level. I like to be able to do whatever I want to whomever I want despite where they may be residing.

I find the location based restrictions frustrating too but I rationalized it by thinking in the "real" world, if u were to attack someone u would have to be where they were. I don't know if that was PD's motive...probably not. But that's how I've tried to view it.

Excellent points. I'll spend some $$$ for some items but if it is required to survive against cyber goons....I'll pass. It's supposed to be a game and fun. Foul language isn't needed and I don't need to deal with people who use their anonymity to show their psychotic side. I'd rather spend the $$$ on Call of Duty or Madden 2010.

[I Fear no Man]

I would love to see a Beta app created for Myspace. Me much like others will not create a Facebook account just to test Mobsters 2

[Guiedo]

Don't know why you restrict the number of friends you can send mob ivites to in a day. Kinda suck's!

[Christopher]

Don't know why you restrict the number of friends you can send mob ivites to in a day. Kinda suck's!

Facebook is what set the number of invites. They are heavily waging a war on spam and have deleted peoples accounts for sending lot and lots of invites out. They also seem to change the amount ever so often. It was 30, now I think it's 24, and at one time it was around 12. I believe it is a limit for your Facebook account, so if you run out of invites for the day you can't even go to another game to send invites for that one.

[Glitchez]

1. I LOVE IT. All the limitations actually make it challenging unlike M1 where I could pay 10 bucks and have a bot do all the work for me or if I don't have a bot i'm sure the person I attack does and wheres the fun in that. Also, having a limit shows I took time to build my account.
2. Theres so many different tactics to level up your character and so many different weapons.
3. You don't see everyone trying to ride cause its near impossible unless you spend a fortune on the game or are a Low Low level. I LOVE THIS THE MOST!!

4. Lastly they are always coming out with new features and if there is a glitch they are on top of fixing it ASAP.

P.S. I recommend you create a facebook account and at least try it. You can't knock it till you try it.

[skees]

Plus now uv made it to where the bots get all the good bounties thyre all dead before i can even see em, i also agree with 212Batallion i think uv sold us out after the work involved with actually being any good in this game, totally disgusts me! un less u can find a way to fix this i will definitly not be adding anymore of yours or playdoms apps!!! thankyou

The lack of any real security or action taken on unacceptable behaviour, which at its extreme is felonious, invites litigation not only against the protagonists, but against Playdom and Facebook. I believe that if Facebook or the advertisers knew what is going on in this game, it would be closed down.

One has to ask oneself – why should one have laid out $600 to be hit, camped, harassed, stalked and abused by organised groups of psychopaths – and like so many others I will very soon be leaving the game.

This has happened. It does happen.

I ran across a player (who claimed to be a member of the San Francisco Police Department) who, in addition to behaving thuggishly in the game, acknowledged some of the spillover into the real world, and shrugged it off.

I'm really surprised that someone hasn't leveled criminal conspiracy charges against those who take this game into the real world. The "mobs" certainly meet the legal definitions of corrupt organizations when their members strike outside the game.

And there is a chance that this person isn't telling the truth about who they are...people wouldn't lie on-line, would they?
