@ birdleader
Just a quick suggestion, not sure if anyone agrees, but should we not remove AJX scores totally from the database? I seem to remember that he already had several dodgy scores on here with at least 1 (level 1-1) that seemed to have had a tampered with screenshot. He seemed to have dissapeared of the scene soon after that, but there are still many high “dubious” scores on the database?
Good point. Is there some kind of policy for this? I have another but similar example. rrdz473 is the leader in Game Centre, but obviously with fake (impossible) scores. rrdz is also on angrybirdsnest, entered only one score, high enough to be the Top Score, but low enough to look legit… What to do with these kinds of dubious players and their scores?
I totally agree with you. As I mentioned some months ago, some (or all?) scores especially from AJX are most probably not legit. Apart from him it’s definitely not possible to filter all the fake scores here. Maybe birdleader should introduce a new kind of evidence or traceability here!
BirdLeader and I are working on some sort of auto-checker to weed out unreasonably high scores, but there are some issues with it. For example, we don’t want to disallow scores that would be new high scores but legitimate (eg, manu “scoremaster” malin). Some preventative measures have been taken already to catch obvious typos, and we are working on level-specific caps / auto-flagging. But again, we can’t be so specific as to say “don’t allow any scores 1k more than current high score”. Most levels involve a certain degree of dumb luck, even with identical shooting, that we can’t be so rigid.
However, we cannot ask for evidence from everyone who has a high score, or attempt to submit one. If it is flagged/deleted but legitimate, we will gladly allow it with screenshot. But it would be a lot on a server to require.
Thanks, AMslimfordy. higgens / rocklands, I really appreciate your feedback and dedication to ABN. I’m glad this subject has been broached again.
I do want to add a few points. First, I believe the number of truly “fake” scores is quite low. It is usually pretty easy to identify them, at which time they are rectified. I believe the manual process of updating scores here on ABN is a bit of a deterrent to those wanting to post illegitimate scores. Quite simply, it takes time to post your scores and that extra layer of effort just isn’t worth it for most would-be cheaters. Not all, but most.
Regarding, additional proof. The sheer number of platforms that Angry Birds is on makes this almost impossible. Sure, it’s easy to take a screenshot on an iOS device, but the same is not true for most Android devices. Even if it was, the cost of requiring something like this would make the process of adding scores so laborious that very few people would participate. Fewer people = Less fun = Less useful. I’d rather deal with the occasional fake and erroneous scores.
I’m still not convinced that AJX’s scores were fake. We had a lengthy email thread and he provided several screenshots that — to me at least — did not look doctored. Again, most cheats would not bother emailing me back, which I’ve proven time and time again by their lack of response to any inquiries from me. All this said, he hasn’t kept up with his leaderboards and only had a few scores posted, so for that reason I have removed all of his scores.
Thanks AMslim and Birdleader. I would hate to accuse someone only to be proven wrong!!! Seems like you guys are on it and I appreciate the time and passion you guys put into this website! I also do not believe there are many false scores and 99% of the time it turns out to be a typo. Guys like Manu has also proven to be genuis at getting really high scores in certain levels so I recon it is totally legit for pretty large gaps between 1st and 2nd place on many levels. Ultimately we do this for fun and I believe selfregulations is a much better system than getting everyone to prove a high score
Thanks for the quick response! Regarding to fake scores I totally agree with you. The number here is really quite low and I believe in the scores of manu malin and so on. Though it’s bloody tough, it’s definitely possible.
Apart from that only Highscores are truly important for most of us, because that’s the goal we’re striving for or at least we’re geared to. Therefore you should call for some kind of evidence otherwise this leaderboard isn’t very effective, primarily if the Highscore looks considerably higher than everything else (Rio 1-12)!
Nevertheles this site gets better and better and I still like the idea to improve my scores by comparing with others! :)
Actually, I think for most the average scores is the most important, but to each his own. Erroneous scores, like the one you cite on Rio 1-12, are eventually tracked down and removed (typically fairly quick, especially if someone comments about it).
I think average scores are perfect to see major differences first, because they are apparently easier to improve. But if 3 stars in all levels aren’t enough, you obviously go for Highscore or at least try to.
Otherwise I can understand to be desirous of clearing the entire column “Off Avg By”! ;)
All I want to say is good luck to manu malin on cracking the 9.4 million mark soon as I see he is incredibly close to doing so!
I am just really happy to join the 9 million club for Rio.
I think with the new 15 level update for Rio, 11.2 might be that tough mountain to climb. Right now I’m sure Manu probably has 11 million. But with 15 levels instead of 30, it’s going to be tough to climb as much as the last update.
Personally, I’m hoping that with each update, I’ll improve my average spot. After the origonal release of Rio, I was hanging out in the 50s and 60s. Then after Beach Volley I’ve been bouncing around the 30s and 40s. Now I’m hoping to try to stay around the top 25.
I think Rio provides a good medium for established AB players that haven’t been there from the start to really compete, with fewer fake scores (though they do exist, just not as many). Since were all focusing on the same levels at the same time, it’s kinda fun to race for the top scores on the same levels, and share ideas, and then ultimately be impressed by others scores.
Congrats on reaching 11m, malin! I’m impressed!
Question: Is there a way to transfer my ab game (+scores) from my iPhone 3Gs to my iPad2? Or will my game die the day my iPhone crashes?
Follow the instructions on forum post. I can say it worked for me
Thx. Since there is no login feature for AB probably this is the only solution for everyone. I will give it a try soon. The only downside to this solution is you can’t play at multiple devices at the same time… iPad in the evening, iPhone during the day. But in time hopefully AB finds à solution for this! Thx again.
Yes, one is being created. The system is called Angry Birds Sync and Rovio tweeted that they hope to have a Beta up during the summer. The link redirects to a post by BirdLeader about what he would like to see, but nothing has really been told.
One last thing to add. You can transfer the iPhone game to your iPad, but it will NOT be HD and will NOT be full-screen. You would have to purchase the iPad-designed HD versions, then transfer your data.
I have got 142420 on 7-8. Do you need a picture?
Sure, birdleader AT angrybirdsnest.com. It would also be good to know how you did it.
I see that my scores for Carnival Upheaval were taken off. I can send some screenshots to prove they are legit…
I have updated my entire rio scores (also entered the two deleted top scores – 7-5 and 7-15). If screenshot is needed, no problem – i can send it.
Hrm, I did purge a lot of fake scores yesterday, but I don’t recall your’s being among them. I apologize if they were.
Well done on reaching 11.1million points Manu
Thx. 11.2 will not happen ;). I still have some points to gather on beach levels, but probably will settle at 11.15 (if I even make it that far).
Congrats Manu you bloody freak! :D
To be honest, 11M would be enough for me… ;)
Congrats Manu, xlent score..well done. ..
Hi guys, just want to congratulate to everyone for your scores, you guys have gave me the motivation to push a bit harder in every stage of Rio… although I hate some parts of Jungle Scape :0)
Nice shooting on jungle newcybroon
agreed, some very impressive shooting, you’ve been rocking the jungle levels. I fear at this rate you’ll be catching me very soon, I’ll have to pick a stick to try and beat you back :-)
I know! I was in the lead for jungle escape; for us guys with believable scores. And he comes along and beats me by 3k. Then to add insult to injury he knocks me out the top ten for the first time! Well played sir….
11.1 million points, took forever! Seems like there’s lots of action in the Jungle levels now as well, Manu you should soon be the first to make 3million points there!
Congrats rocklands ! The last 20k went pretty fast.
I will be working hard on getting those last 5k tonight.
Bad day yesterday, not only I didn’t score anything but someone beat us to the 3 Mil.
Going to give it a rest for now. BTW what is your secret rocklands on 3-10. I saw you did 107k with 2 birds. Clearing pretty much everything with 2 I can barely reach 100k
Manu had couple of days like that, few weeks ago, took almost 9 days off from the game and came back to score about 40k in 2 days, I need some inspiration for beach feel stuck but still have plenty of points to gain.
In 3-10 I aim just above the banana’s to hit the loose horizontal board sandwiched between the crate and the top structure. If you hit it right it bounces down and break the bottom board and shifts everything to right, then it is pretty much luck from there, my 2nd best score here is like 5k off.
Try 4-14, someone had a good find there in switching the shots, gained 4k and I recon there another 3k at least.
Thanks I will give it a shot. By the way I see that you too have crossed the 3Mil. Congrats
Congrats Rocklands u must be stoked mate…..I only have another 150/60k to get to 11million ,I have a spare 2hours tonight set aside for that lol…
I somehow managed to launch a marmoset onto the slingshot and it didn’t die (screenshot).
Okay, I apologize for being
such a totally stupid slobbering geek about this game, but I *love* 8-4. Discovered the secret (do nothing at all for 15-20 seconds) on 8-4 completely by accident, got 3 stars with one bird, and now I keep restarting it to see how many points will show up. High so far is 24K, low 19K and change. Hee!
Is there some sort of trick to 8-1 that I’m missing? I can get almost complete destruction with two birds and I’m only getting 85000.
I was having the same problem. The trick for me was to power burst the first bird right after launch(while it was still partially in the slingshot) so it made a much larger arch, crashing down on the platforms with more strength so it busts all the way through to the bottom.
Also the 3 star score for 8-1 needs to be adjusted because 95040 is 3 stars.
Angry Birds Rio shows me 15 papayas and 3 stars for all my Carnival levels, but Game Center does not. Its been a few hours. I killed & restarted Game Center and AB Rio but I am still missing the achievements. Any ideas?
Also, did they forget a Score Addict award for Carnival? Or could my download for the update have messed up? I am using an iPhone4.
Before the update, they had a Score Addict achievement for Carnival, but now it’s gone. My other achievements also won’t load.
I don’t recall seeing a Score Addict for Carnival Upheaval at any point.
Nothing messed up. The 3 new achievements do not register and there is no Score Addict. I’m sure Rovio will send a patch to Apple. (Won’t have to be an update since Game Center runs independent of the app.)
My first top score on here ever for 8-1, and I got a pic of it! Thank you angrybirdsnest.com players for making me push myself on these games!!
I am the little fish in the big pond again. Yes 8-1 was kind of crazy I one birdded it got around 90,000.. I now have 101,020 with three birds. Basically hitting the joints between upper and lower deck.
Did I miss something along the way. When did the floats quit moving along in front of the audience? I had noticed it on page 7 too (previously), but thought it would be back again with the update. No big thing, just curious.
Thank you birdsnest for a great place to nest. Great work! I just don`t see how you handle it all.
They stopped the moving floats because it was making some people nauseous. Thanks for the kudos.
THAT’S Funny! (And true – they did make me slightly nauseous.)
I didn’t mind the moving backround.
can i enter my scores even if i use an android.
Yes, all are welcome on the boards so long as their scores are honest.
yay
Three stars on all levels. Which means I did it again…instead of pacing myself to make it last, I blew through it in a few short hours (who’s feeling my pain right now???). Here’s to hoping more new levels are released soon. :)
I found out a good method to determine the min. score for 3 stars:
You go to the walkthrough videos at the end where the “level completed!” screen is. Then you watch it very slowly. So you can see exactly at what score the 3rd star appears.
Yes, I know, I’m too intelligent. I wonder why nobody else had this idea before.
True, but we like to be a little more precise. That is, we don’t consider the minimum confirmed until someone has received 3-stars with x thousand points and only 2-stars with (x-1) thousand.
True, but I think he’s right. I just watched all the videos where we still didn’t have confirmed scores and after pausing and starting a few times you can (most of the time) see at what threshold the 3 star score is triggered. I’d still like to try and get the score, but at least in this case I think this is enough to mark the remaining scores as confirmed. The only score that changed based on the video was GB Level #3, which went from 103,000 (vid still shows two at this point) to 104,000.
Then why did you not change it? Who told (“confirmed”) you that the minimum is 103,000?
My method is the fastest one. You just need a video of someone who has 3 stars, and immeditely you know the min. score for 3 stars.
But it only works for Angry Birds Rio, but not for Angry Birds or Angry Birds Seasons.
BirdLeader did change it, but then I was able to confirm manually that 103k was in fact sufficient for 3 stars.
Yes, your method is fast and I think it is good for creating close *’s initially, but it is not ideal or perfect. Most significantly, the framerate on videos (particularly on YouTube) is infrequent enough that there is not guaranteed to be a frame showing exactly (say) 103k. Whereas confirming manually (as I do) leaves absolutely no doubt.
Can you send me a screenshot of someone who has 103,000 points and got 3 stars?
Maybe the minimum for 3 stars is 103,500? And you had more than 103,500 when you got 3 stars? That’s why the vodeo shows 2 stars at 103,023.
Okay, if minimal scores like 103,500 are also possible (did Rovio ever deny?), then neither my nor your method will have exact results. But since my method is faster and has the same (unexact) results, it is still better.
As I said, the video method is a good idea, but not perfect. Also, I highly doubt Rovio is going to deviate from the norm and make their job even more difficult by setting min 3 star scores not on the thousand. Either way, if you want proof here are two screenshots
102,910 = 2 stars (screenshot)
103,330 = 3 stars (screenshot)
Thanks again for sharing your finding, but I’d like to close out this comment thread now.
I dont’t think Rovio wants to be absolutely exact with their stars screen.
Btw minimum score for 3 stars on GB #3 is far too few anyway. 130k+ or even 140k+ is fairly easy here! ;)
Indeed. The video method, while a great start is not perfect and only works for Rio. I do appreciate the tip. It’s another tool.
Help
Received update and updated all apps….. Rio did not update… any solution????
What type of device are you playing on and what version of Rio do you currently have?
Device is Iphone GS3
Rio version is 1.2.2
You are completely up to date.
Thats the problem…. I updated but got nothing new…. It only thinks I’m up to date…. I don’t have any of the 15 levels for “Beachball”
You’re not alone! I have exactly the same problem. Don’t worry about it. I’ve heard that Rovio gives the weaker players à head start from now on. Apparantly it’s more fair. Our update will come soon, promised!
You have to find the hidden beachball before the new levels unlock.
Oh Dumb me
Thanks
Maybe this is a dumb question. How do you get the Golden Beachball levels?
Did an internet search and found out how.
We have it in a post here, with instructions for both iOS/Android and Mac/PC.
I don’t know when/how/why, but it suddenly says I’ve found 17/15 watermelons for Beach Volley. I guess I’m really good.
If you watch FujiToast’s video for obtaining the Golden Beachball levels, you can see his count change from 15/15 to 17/15. This is a bug that Rovio is aware of.
Since completing the Carnival part with 3 stars on all levels and getting all 15 papayas, I’ve completed all the Beachball levels and even turned off my iPhone to reboot everything. Yet, I’m not getting credit for the following Achievements:
Samba! (Clear all Carnival levels)
Carnival King (Earn 3 stars on all Carnival levels)
Papaya Perfection (Collect all Papayas)
Are these 3 Achievements known bugs? Or is there some secret with the Carnival levels I’m not getting? I have 90/90 on stars and 15/15 on papayas. And under Awards, I do have the gold trophy with the star for this level.
Yes, these are bugged. Original thread can be viewed on the Rio achievements page. Rovio has been informed.
Why am I unable to get golden beach ball on my iPad?.
Check that you are running v1.2.2 of Rio (click the ” i ” in the bottom left corner of the home page). This means you should have all of Carnival Upheaval. If you are up to date, you can follow the video on this page to unlock the levels.
Is there a new Rio chapter called “Airport”? When I go to the Leaderboard in Rio, it shows “Total Score Airport.” No one has a score for this chapter yet. No update to Rio is available either. Does this mean a new chapter for Rio is coming very soon???? I hope so!
Great catch, srduck!!! I guess we can expect an update in the next couple days (and hopefully a bug-fix for those achievements).
Speaking of which, new achievements:
Carnival Upheaval – Score Addict (2 850 000 pts)
Mega Star (Earn 280 stars overall)
Since there is no “Airport”-specific achievements, I believe this will be a 15-level (half-episode) update.
Cool! Been waiting for a bit for some new levels! You always know that new levels should be coming soon when there are new achievements available, considering achievements are released just before the update.
Uggh… Airport implies there will be a lot of clouds in the levels. I prefer to smash and blow up things rather than just knock out clouds.
Why? The airport is not in the sky. :) The backgrounds show the airfield, so I’m guessing that it won’t be cloud based. Who knows though.
Yeah, I have never seen a floating airport, unless you’re talking about the UNIT ship Valiant, (a little Doctor Who reference there :P).
How do you know what the background looks like already? Or are you taking a guess?
Airport… Airplanes… Expect a lot of clouds.
I’m beginning to wonder just what it is you have against clouds? Not into nephology, then? ;)
@srduck: Have you seen the movie? I can’t remember that there was even one tiny little cloud at the airport of Rio.
Call me crazy but I usually expect lots of aeroplanes at an airport, not clouds…
Just for the record: This is the most inane, off-topic, and downright hilarious dialogue I have ever seen on this website. I love it!
Yep, have 15 levels of “Airport Chase” via an update now (U.K.) The new fruit of choice is an apple and the background is kind of a fuchsia sunset… Oh, and all the Carnival achievements are now sorted :-)
Yes sir, we’ve got a lowdown on everything that is included and the bugs that have been fixed in our post about the update.
Heh, i love the pants with hearts on it! Still.. i have collect all achievements (50) but shows me only 47 (47 of 50). And where is the new ones?
There are 50 total. Two are secret and unattainable. I’m not sure of the last one you are missing, but check our list.
I’m only missing Stellarvore, but i have one that is not listed in our list – Mega star HD. So i have 47, one to unlock (stellarvore) and two more left…
Haven’t updated the list within the past couple hours to include the two newest achievements (Mega Star and Carnival Score Addict).
Only 48 achievements are attainable right now.
Stellarvore WAS attainable but is not attainable any more right now.
@SvirkaBG: Is Stellarvore on your list or not? If not then I was right by thinking that Stellarvore is a secret achievement.
Ok, two are 100% absolutely unattainable until at least Chapter 11.
Oh I just saw that you already marked it as a “secret achievement”.
