Rovio ruined it!!   HATE this new arena.     3 steps forward, 2 back.   It’s like chasing your tail.     Not even an option to spend gems to buy an extra life.   No option to choose your flock.    No options to make any choices!!    It’s all game dictated.   I’ve played for years.   This game WAS a favorite past time.   I will play the daily challenges and levels.   But done with this terrible new arena!!   Sad

I have always loved the tournament.   Played every week.    The revision is awful!

You can’t control any of it.   Can’t control opponents.   Can’t choose your birds.   Can’t add spells that we’ve worked hard to earn.   No Extra Bird (video) at the end.

Test driving the new arena, lucky to win 2 out of 5.   It really comes down to the force to ‘buy gems’. ONLY option is to pay 60 gems to REPLAY the same match.    No option to use the gems to buy additional spells.

I’ve played the tournament for a LONG time and win a LOT.  I have hundreds of thousands of gems.   NOW I can’t win 1 or 2 out of 5 rounds.     2 steps forward, 3 back.    Will never make progress at this rate unless I spend/BUY gems.

Won’t be playing any more.   Sad.    I used too very much enjoy playing.

Agreed!   The next level requires 25 apples per feeding and 10 feedings to go to the next level.   There are few opportunities through regular game play to “earn” very many apples, so the premise is they are trying to entice you to BUY ($$) them…. and they are expensive considering 100 apples = $9.99 and at level 2/3 that will only cover 4 feedings.    I think we should be allowed to use our GEMS to buy them like we can spells.    This is a huge $$ gimic and I personally won’t ‘buy’ into it.
