So, in this week’s Arena where I was hopelessly behind from the get-go, my top 3 opponents are named: Swoosh, Phoenix, and I kid you not, Swoosh Phoenix. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

I’ve gone back and played through the early levels many times. I almost always blow my old scores out of the water, at least since they changed how the scoring worked. Obviously whenever you level up your birds, you’ll get better scores than before. Getting three stars has never been an issue since that change.

If you perform in the lower ranks but don’t get demoted – say you finish somewhere around #10-12 – do we have any verifiable evidence that this affects the group of competitors you end up in the following week?
I was a bit late to get started on this week’s Arena – I was actually out having a social life on Saturday night and Sunday morning, so I…[Read more]

Wow, looks like every single person in my league this week either saved up a ton of tickets from previous weeks, or else is using some sort of a hack. I’m playing at my normal rate and struggling to stay above the bottom three, despite that fact that I’ve earned 9-10 stars for pretty much every single match I’ve played. If playing once every 3…[Read more]

David Martin replied to the topic Daily Challenge – what's the verdict? in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 8 years ago
The first two levels of the DC are usually a cakewalk for me, so I don’t bother with spells. When I used to think you actually had to finish all three level in a row or else start over from the first one, I would sometimes use spells when I had difficulty with the second level. Now I just force quit the app whenever I’m about to lose, so that I…[Read more]

@sonicwave – Definitely a frustrating situation, and the absolute worst time to have Blues as you last bird. However, couldn’t Blues have gone through the blue portal and pushed the other cart into the boss? Normally that wouldn’t help much, but he only had a sliver of life left, even the slightest push should have been enough to finish him…[Read more]

I’ve had bonus cards end up closer to the beginning or middle of the deck before. In my previous observation that if you selected all five spells and the first one you used, you’d get an immediate refill of, I’ve sometimes noticed that same spell show up again a lot earlier than I was expecting. I can’t recall whether this has happened with a…[Read more]

@haoledave – Is it really just me? Ever since the update that radically changed how we are matched against Arena opponents (and that also made the Arena rooms far more challenging in general), I swear I have not seen a single spell in any of my opponents’ arsenals. We have discovered in the past that the same rules don’t seem to apply to all of…[Read more]

Remember that any spells your opponent used (apparently) aren’t counted during your run against them. So it’s possible they could fire Terence, get another Terence because it’s the only card they don’t already have, then use several spells in succession and then their second Terence.

Today’s Gravity Grove challenge is a bear. Took me a few tries to get to the boss screen at all – for those who are wondering, it’s the final boss from level 540 (I think), the one who repeatedly flies horizontally through portals and you have to hope enough stuff glances off of him in midair to do damage. If he falls through the orange portal on…[Read more]

@james-simon – I’ve been force quitting the game after winning an Arena match and returning to the Nest (the screen where you see Arena rankings and your bird levels). It’s possible that if you do it before that (such as when it’s counting up the stars you’ve won or showing you how far along a winning streak you are), your feathers/stars might not…[Read more]

@adbjester – I’ve pointed out the spell exploit on a few occasions. Basically if you never return to the map after using spells from your arsenal in an Arena match or a campaign/DC level, you don’t permanently lose those spells. If you play multiple Arena matches in a row without going back to the map, you’ll notice your spell count going down,…[Read more]

@adbjester – I’m not a server admin myself, but I’ve worked with enough of them for what you’re saying to sound legit.
If you know a little something about keeping a server up and running to begin with, then you probably know more than Rovio does. ;)

Hey, as long as Silver hits the Target, Silver can use whatever bathroom he/she/they/xe wants.

Silver’s a girl? How did I never realize that?
I love using Silver to undermine a structure and make it topple to the left on top of something below. I mostly use her downward swoop when there’s a pig stuck in a corner behind something indestructible that would be difficult or impossible to hit with a normal trajectory. (Though if I have Matilda,…[Read more]

David Martin replied to the topic Video Keeps Crashing in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 8 years ago
I’ve been having this problem too. I hate those stupid “Your video is loading/Thanks for viewing great content” ads that show a video player within a browser, because they’re the most susceptible to either not loading or crashing the game at a critical juncture. And this weekend I’ve had nothing but ads from that source, whereas normally they come…[Read more]
