Broken Heart Promotion revisited

It's been a few days since the "broken hearts" promotion has been released. A lot of bugs have been reported but from the action in the news feed I would guess we are all getting lots of broken hearts!


So what have we learned:

1. It seems you can get 5 hearts from the feed at a time, then another 5 later in the day.

2. You may be able to get a few more than 10 hearts per feed source.

3. Hearts drop at a low rate. I don't know if this has affected your play, but having an ad-blocker seems to dramatically reduce (eliminate?) hearts dropping from jobs. This could be coincidence!

4. Hearts dropped as gifts from the Zynga Messaging Service routinely bring up the mini-game or a stash of five hearts. I haven't seen any from gifts accepted from my wall.

5. Extra hearts become mystery bags. It's been my observation that the overwhelmingly most common item from these bags are boosts - especially the hobo. I have seen very few wishlist items, XP bonuses, etc.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Shot Through the Heart, Free Skill Point, Free RP, Broken Hearts

Today Zynga and a number of other groups are hosting "Shot through the heart" - a clan war for anyone who wants to join in. Each person in the war is on one of two teams and everyone participating is entered into a prize drawing. For more information see

There seem to be a number of subtle bugs in the Broken Hearts promotion, but so far I like it. I think a fair warning is that I've had problems getting hearts to drop from jobs when I had my ad blocker active. I've also noticed that hearts are not dropping today when you use Brawler (yesterday they did.) However, you can easily get 20 from gifts and 5 from the feed, which is over half the number you could get if you max'ed out on all categories. Over nine days that's almost enough for two great items. Maxing out - assuming you didn't win a LOT of random hearts - you could get three great items.

I'm curious - what do you think of the mini-game?

Free Reward Points (I think 1-5): http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F4tnyn44%2520&h=9026e
