Silver won’t work if you try to come up and under from the side, like we often do with structures we want to tip over. That’s why I suggested coming down from the top, and aiming for the platforms, not the stone. It won’t knock over the structure, but it should kill the pigs.
On rare occasions I can tip the top of this one over using Red, not…[Read more]

@angryplayer – Bomb can clear it, but as I’ve noted with many of these other annoying structures, they come up so often that you generally don’t have Bomb handy.
Silver can also do it if you swoop down from above and take out the horizontal wooden platforms, though this might not work if there’s a pig on the bottom one because he will lose…[Read more]

@angrynerds2 – Yes, I hate that one! No matter what I do I always kill the top pigs but need another bird for the bottom pig in the basket, or vice versa. Of course Bomb can handle it, but as frequently as this one seems to show up, Bomb usually isn’t an option.

There’s one shaped like a rocket that I’m really starting to despise, because you can’t push it over easily, and even with Terence or Silver, breaking through enough layers to get at the pig in the middle while also knocking off the pig on the right edge is a tricky maneuver to pull off.
There’s one with a small balloon-supported platform up top…[Read more]

It does sometimes feel frustrating getting blues as the video reward when there’s a stone tower left or having pigs surviving from a collapsed tower, but that’s just how random the game can be.
@hank – I’ve felt for a while that there should at least be a rule saying that when you fling your last bird and it fills the Destruct-o-meter or you wat…[Read more]

I’m at star rank 60, and I always get 60s. When I level up, so do the opponents I get matched to. It’s been that way ever since the update that overhauled the Arena. (Their actual bird levels are typically higher than mine, but I can usually compensate for that.)

David Martin replied to the topic Daily Challenge – what's the verdict? in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 8 years, 1 month ago
I normally enjoy Gravity Grove challenges, but in this one they strung together pretty much all the rooms that make me tear my hair out due to how vanishingly small your chances are of clearing two structures with a single bird. Finally made it to the boss and somehow got him stuck on the ceiling with a barely visible sliver of red left in his…[Read more]

When I have most or all of the spells at my disposal, I can regularly score 2x what my opponent does, or more… sometimes that can be upwards of 8 million points. My guess is that my opponents don’t see this, assuming my Arena runs are even valid to get matched up against others at all. Either they don’t see me at all, or if they do, they somehow…[Read more]

I mean, come on dude, you have all birds at 9+ and can’t hit 3 million points?
I’ve seen it happen. Almost had it happen to me a few times when there was something like a piglet perched on a tiny balloon in the far right corner of the second room, and of course my Chuck and Matilda were buried at the far bottom of the deck, making me waste a b…[Read more]

Well, that’s the downside of making things more fair for everybody. Now everybody has a chance to actually be competitive. Yeah, it sucks that we’ll always be falling behind the players who have no life and play 24/7, but isn’t that how a lot of online games work? You spend more time playing the game, you get more rewards. Any game developer’s…[Read more]

Aha, I think I understand now why you usually get the same card you just used the first time you fill the Destruct-O-Meter. The game starts you with one of each bird at the beginning of every level. To make sure you never have two of the same card visible at the same time, the game will never award you a card you already have. Assuming you can…[Read more]

The Mighty Eagle can score high if it’s a room where the structures can all be pushed over by its “wind”. In a room where they’re mostly floating or supported by balloons, often hardly anything will move and the pigs will just pop in place. More importantly than the score, though, is its ability to bypass a tough room, one which your opponent…[Read more]

Here’s a nice thing to try on the off chance that you’re fortunate enough to have a Mighty Eagle to bring into the Arena, and it shows up in your first three cards. Use it to clear the first room. I’m willing to bet the card you get for filling up the Damage Meter will be another Eagle. If not, it’ll be a Pig Inflater. This has happened to me way…[Read more]

Tournament just ended for the week, and I keep getting connection errors when it tries to display the results. I can get to the Arena screen, then I get the little notification that it’s trying to connect in the lower left corner… after a few seconds, it gives up, kicks me back to the overworld map, and tells me I have a connection error. It’s ext…[Read more]

David Martin replied to the topic The AB2 Bad Luck (and Good Luck) topic in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 8 years, 1 month ago
In the AB2 Arena thread, I had made the case that sometimes bringing in a large arsenal of spells could actually work against you. Today I witnessed a firsthand example of this. I had used Blues to clear most of a room, and all that was left was a single pig, underneath a stone platform held up by balloons. My next three cards were Blizzard, Pig…[Read more]

The upper one isn’t even that bad; you just have to knock out the wood block on the bottom.
The lower one is kind of annoying, especially when you don’t have a good angle of approach. If you don’t have Bomb handy, Matilda is your best bet.
Some of the more innocuous-looking structures that are just stacks of boxes are among my most hated, even…[Read more]

OK yeah, that does sound like a hack. Not that someone would intentionally hack it to get multiple Blues in an area where they obviously won’t perform well. If someone’s found a way to upload spoofed Arena performances to the AB2 server, then their score compared to the likelihood of such a performance being possible within that specific Arena is…[Read more]

As far as I know, it’s only rigged so that you won’t have the same bird twice in the three cards you can see face-up. You might have a duplicate farther down in the deck, or receive a duplicate of a bird you just used. For this to work, the game must somehow reorder the cards you can’t see from time to time, but that’s just an educated guess.
