Paris is Open!
If you were diligent enough to wait out a week of Mafia Wars quirks, glitches and disabled feeds, late last Friday night you received a pop-up message: "Challenge: Mission Paris, Up for the challenge?"
Mafia Wars families have been offered the Mission Paris challenge. A wealthy art collector wants to acquire the Mona Lisa; but he needs a Mafia family with world class influence and enough manpower to do the job right. Mafia Wars Paris has opened up. It's a “limited time only” opportunity available to those who have what it takes to step up to the challenge.
When you sign on, you never know what new element to the game might have opened up. With Mafia Wars virtual criminal empires in New York, Cuba, Moscow and recently, Bangkok, the next stop was supposed to be Las Vegas... but they did a little flip-flop and that has diligent players traveling to the other side of the Atlantic... at least for a while.
Mafia Manpower
“The Feds are watching..,” so your Paris mission may require a few “fresh faces” to avoid “the heat.” That was one of the messages you got right after accepting the Paris Challenge. It mean they wanted you to go out and find more people for your Mafia.
Mafia Wars recommends the foot soldiers you need to get the job done; but don't worry, if your Mafia doesn't meet this first crucial manpower test, you have a few days to recruit new members into your family. The clock is ticking, so to help in your quest, the Mafia Wars team has provided a special recruiting invitation that reads “You Have a Steal The Mona Lisa Request.” (They make it all seem so real.)
Mission Paris
The countdown begins the moment you accept the Paris Mission. As with previous Challenge Missions, you work a tight schedule with a digital timer ticking away the minutes.
Your mission begins before you travel to the City of Lights. First you must collect a series of Paris Maps to do job. To accomplish this, you can return to the Challenge Mission: Paris page for a daily Map allotment. You will also be able to collect Paris Maps as loot drops when you fight, rob and do Mafia jobs in New York, Cuba, Moscow and Bangkok. Collect all the necessary maps on schedule and you may begin Chapter 1 of your Paris Challenge.
The Heat is On!
There's a bit of an unusual twist to the challenge. When they say "The heat is on," they're talking about a heat meter that begins to rise once you start working the jobs. As you get closer to finishing each job, a pop up message will warn that the authorities are getting closer. They suggest you lay low for a bit. If you choose to continue, the meter glows from green to yellow to red; and the energy cost and number of maps needed to do the job rises.
The Rewards
The Paris Challenge has 3 chapters, each with 3 tasks to accomplish. For each completed chapter, you will receive a unique, limited edition item as a reward. The bonus for Chapter 1 is 'The Paris Fixer' to help you with future jobs. For completing Chapter 2 you will receive the “French Kiss,” a shiny, new weapon. Complete chapter 3 and you will add the “DaVinciQ415” to your car collection.
I've already completed chapter 1 and I'm pleased with my "Paris Fixer." He came with a 61Defense rating and is now my most powerful defense weapon.... Cool!
Now It's your turn. Can you handle the Paris Challenge? The clock is ticking.
