Mafia Live

According to a mafia live employee post on getsatisfaction, the game was updated behind the scenes during the middle of the night. Not much appears to be changed except for a few new jobs and a supposubly more stable fight system.

I still don’t see the relevance of the whole mafia live fight system in general. One end says that people can sit online all day and spam for family members, in turn making them stronger and able to beat up on people with less family. Then an update was put out crippling this factor and making items more powerful. Now someone with 1 family memeber can attack someone with 1000 family members and still win as long as they have the right amount of equipment.

So what is the purpose of the mafia live slogan, “Build your family”? Isn’t the whole premise and success of this game bent on the virality and user growth? In its current state this no longer matters, i mean really who cares if invite someone because it doesnt get me anything other than the ability to do some jobs that without family I could not.

Mafia Live Tips for Newbs:

1) Buy equipmenet, if you are not able to find yourself anyone to add online – See my previous post – then stock up on revolvers or other low cost equipment to keep yourself from being from loosing to many fights.
