New interface in Mafia wars!!!

Zynga has decided to come up with change to our job page and other new changes.
With reports from jilly bean(community manager)
they are looking for a future functionality and new features in game.

With this motive they are testing some new interface with many user's known as the beta tester'sselected random by the zynga.

Zynga have given us 3 to choose from, and a user has put up their own version,

They have asked for a user feedback's at the forum
http://forums.zynga.com/showthread.php?t=622239

some look in points

• exploring the option of being able to toggle the numeric value for stats making it permanent unless someone toggled it back to the bar
• Players will wonder where the inventory link lives. It lives under profile.
• Mini-Games will indeed house more than just Daily Chance. Slots will be the first addition to this tab

4th of july-mafia wars

Its a new even going to start in o1 day and 15 minutes from time of me writing this post.

Mafia is celebrating 2 years of crime and is expected to give new drop loots as it was previous year on 4th of july.

Hope to find some new HEL(HIGH END LOOT)..with some new challenge .

Crime Spree

Central Mainframe Access ... this appears to be another element within the game that they are adding to encourage people to play daily.

It appears zynga is trying to entice us to use the crime spree feature again, Whether you're level 0 or 31+ you should see that if you gain 10 levels you will be given "Trouble Maker". I can only emagine there will be more enticing items every 10 levels after that.

This item is just +1 over the best attack item dropping from fights, however as most people more then likely aren't even close to 501 of those this will be a pretty nice upgrade.

Another change is that instead of having 3 choices(100 XP/50 Enrgy/10 Stam) after helping out someone you now have to choose from either 50 energy or 40 stamina.

Power Attack

zynga is making more and more improvements to the standard fight system, and this is another much needed improvement IMO. Now you can choose to use power attacks on players who are not iced. If someone is alive you will see a power attack link next to the regular attack link on their profile.

And there is also the option to power attack them as shown in screenshot on the attack screen.I think this is a step in the right direction but still isn't going to put fighting anywhere near as effecient in terms of dumping stamina as robbing is.

But, with the added new fight only HEL this will certainly help make spending your stamina on fighting less painful. And as you can see in the screenshot you do have a chance for loot to drop for each of the 5 attacks.

Las Vegas Consumables

When you first find an item, you are asked if you want to share a reward with your mafia members. Ergo, you can share up to seven rewards. You can claim one reward per day from every mafia member. You can only collect 10 Bonus Loot Vegas event.

The possible rewards are Magnetic Lock, Deposit Box, Reinforced Steel, Motion Sensor and Security Camera (possibly more). These areLas Vegas Consumables required to construct your own Casino Vault.

Magnetic Lock Deposit Box Reinforced Steel Motion Sensor Security Camera
