After waiting for more than 4 weeks for the Facebook sign-in issue to be resolved, I decided to sign-in using Apple.  I did not lose my progress in terms of gems, gold coins, boosts, or the level I’m currently on.  I’m still waiting for the Pop-A-Pig mini-game to reset for a new week, so I don’t know if I will be able to play that again.

I’ve been unable to connect with Facebook to backup my progress when I’m playing AB Pop! for more than a week now.  When I’ve looked at the app page on Facebook, there are quite a few others who are experiencing similar problems.  At this point, I don’t know whether I should try to start saving to my Apple ID or not.  I don’t want to lose the progress I’ve made.

I feel I’m in the same boat as you.  Fortunately, Star Cup is back down again while they try to figure out what to do about the matchmaking system.  It’s apparent the developers didn’t really think everything through.

I’ve been playing Friends since 2014, and I have wondered more and more in recent weeks why I continue to play this game.  I’ve been playing AB POP! much more in recent months.

[tempestJCM]

That’s correct.  The only time that one can be in the Glass or Wood League is when you start playing league tournaments with a new account.  It’s been several years since I was down in Bronze League, but I recall that it would require real (lack of) effort in order to be demoted down to Stone League.

After consulting with a spreadsheet I have kept of league rankings, I believe that 270 was the lowest score that one can reach once they have advanced to Bronze League.  I thought that if you finished 40th place in Bronze, you would lose 30 points.  It’s possible that those values have changed over time, though.  The number shown below the cup on the far right of the display for 40th place in the Bronze League would be the floor of 300-x points.

There’s a thread in this forum that we used to discuss AB Friends league scoring and rankings.

Every little bit helps.  Can you re-confirm positions 33-34?  It seems odd that there are 2 positions with the same score.

It doesn’t appear that the birdcoin rewards change once you reach the Diamond League.  But what is apparent is that for each level one advances it becomes a little harder to move up the ladder.   There must be players on here who frequently use power-ups that have advanced many levels.  I wonder what it must be like to compete at the 10-star level or even the 50-star level.

Here is a close-up of the scoring grid with focus on the Diamond League.

@christian-cosgrove

The scoring grid for the Diamond League is different for each star level.  I’m able to determine that you must at Diamond star level 2.  I have just uploaded an update to my chart which is shown below.  I apologize in advance for the legibility of the scores, as I’ve been able to advance only as far as star level 4.

Pig Out — 11th May

This tournament is a giant fruit smoothie, and you are the blender. This could get messy.

[tempestJCM]

After consulting with Rovio’s updated FAQ page, here is my latest update to the league scoring chart.

I’ve also been working on an update to the birdcoin rewards chart by league. Here is what I have so far.

Bunny Business — 13th April

Easter + Tournament Mania = Easter Mania! Play 3 tournaments in 1 week & get double ratings.

Spring has Sprung! — 27th April

Play a tournament overgrown with spring flowers and… actual springs. Boing!

[tempestJCM]

It looks like Rovio has recently made some minor adjustments to the scoring grid once again. Here is the latest.

[tempestJCM]

The “Upcoming Tournaments” button was absent for awhile, but I recently noticed it has reappeared.

Earth Hour 2017 — 20th March

Clean this place up and knock some lights out for Earth hour 2017 in 2 new tournaments!

@ragdolls There have been previous discussions on this topic before on this board. It is my understanding that if one already has the Wishbone Sling, then it isn’t necessary to purchase the Golden Sling, since it has been determined that both slings inflict the same amount of damage. If you don’t have the Wishbone Sling, then you should go ahead and buy the Golden Sling at this point, then you can decide whether to purchase the Wishbone Sling when it becomes available around Halloween.

I would agree with @partshade that the Jingle Sling is the first sling that everyone should purchase. If you already have that sling, then the Golden Sling should be the next one to buy.

I wish I had waited longer before purchasing the Golden Sling. Rovio used to charge $4.99 for the Golden Sling. I purchased mine for $2.99 when it was on sale, but you can imagine how I felt when I learned that it now costs 4000 birdcoins to purchase.

Here is a thread I found with more details comparing sling damage.

Here is an update to the chart that now includes the Diamond League.

Amusement Park — November 24, 2016

Take the pigs on the ride of their lives in an all new tournament!

[tempestJCM]

Since it may take awhile to work my way down to Stone League, here is an update to the chart.

Little Crops of Horror — October 13, 2016

The pigs harvest their vegetables, completely unaware of an evil lurking below the surface.

Midtown Miscreants — October 21, 2016

The birds must defend the city from some truly rotten vegetables and pig-controlling fungi.

The Root of Evil — October 27, 2016

Infiltrate the pigs’ lab and save the day! Who knows what could be crawling in here…

All remaining Gold League scores confirmed.

I see today that Rovio has made our work much easier. If you look at the League tab, there is now a number in either a green or red block at the bottom left of each position. That number represents the league points you stand to gain or lose, while the number in the yellow block at the lower right is the birdcoin reward for finishing in the that position.

What I really need now is for someone currently in the Diamond League to report the two scores that I’ve left blank and any scores that I might have filled incorrectly in the chart above. I’m planning to work my way down to the lower leagues, and I’ll update the chart as soon as I have more leagues filled in.
