Update 1.2.12: Advanced Pig Machine; 1000 Star Collection Reward.

[dillo]

I’ve got a weird problem – in my nest I have the AGPM and it says “6x chance for set items!” which is great but the problem is I got no black background and I can’t feed the pig, just sits there staring at me. I got no issues in the Arena as that AGPM works fine.

There’s the “watch a video” button but I can’t click it. Well I can touch it but it won’t activate.

@dillo I have the same problem. Did you by any chance completely fill your rainbow bar? Because that’s what caused the problem for me.

I got that pig problem in the past. Rovio said it was likely that the friend was running a different version of Epic than I was. So hopefully once the IOS update is released, everybody else can upgrade and the problem will be fixed.

@admins — Any chance you can pry a date for the IOS update out of Rovio?

[Angry Johnny]

@mvnla2 @amslimfordy @dallasreds @joeyba @puttekula The update is out for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-epic-featuring/id767319014?mt=8

@partshade That’s exactly what happened to me :(

[Joey]

I updated. Received 3 potions for completing 725 stars but nothing for the 1000 stars!! Although I’m at 1025!

[Angry Johnny]

@joeyba Have you tried rebooting the game?

[Bossk]

Also, I’m not sure if it’s a bug or feature, but I am in wood league in Arena, however with the AGPM I roll diamond stuff (the pig also has the Diamond hat)..

[Joey]

@angryjohnny yea i restarted it and now I got the NEW GPM

[AMslimfordy]

@joeyba Glad to hear that fixed it. Boy that would stink!

[Green Whacker]

Got it as well, said “improved chances on getting a set item” so I tried it and spent 30 LC and got all crap.

“improved” my arse.

[epicMarksmen]

By the way, do we have to talk about how to 3-star the Dark Shaman again? This question may be interesting after this update.

[Bossk]

What would be changed in this update relating to the Dark Shaman?

[Angry Johnny]

Hopefully that it can be 3-starred without using the Might Eagle :-)

[Bubbley]

Are you talking about cave17 boss? If you don’t mind eating cake to maintain health then it’s not difficult with skulkers, wizard, sea dog. All rank 10 level 50. Using beep, twin lightening and scissors. You certainly don’t need other potions. I prefer to do it with no potions but I also wanted to 3 star before downloading this update.

Holy bajeezus…I’m only around the middle of cave 2…I’d best get moving if I want this new Golden Pig Machine .-.

Time to farm the Desert Pig Castle like it’s nobody’s business…
(Because I can’t put up with Wizpig, I really can’t.)

It seems the advanced pig machine is only available when you pay for the rolls. Free rolls still use the old GPM.

[epicMarksmen]

No, the free roll is depended on your friends’ GP. So it’s their decision of if they want to gave you an advanced free roll or not. Just wait and you’ll see.

[MVNLA2]

@kenhsieh — I did get a free roll for watching the video, and it was on the APGM. The free roll “from a friend” was from Piggy McCool, and was on the old GPM, after mine had been upgraded. Guess he isn’t feeling generous.
I don’t ever recall being able to pick who you gave free rolls to, so I don’t understand what you mean by “So it’s their decision of if they want to gave you an advanced free roll or not.”

@dillo, @partshade, @ mishatje
I’ve submitted a ticket to Rovio.

[Traneric]

What a F…! Sorry for my word. But I just try the new GPM. 200 spin (always 5+1). And what did I get. 3 set items + 2 set items because of the full rainbow. What an improvement!! Thank u Rovio or Chimera.

[Anonymous]

@leareman Thanks!

@dillo @mishatje Until this gets solved, do a free roll on a friends GPM. That will reset the bar and fix the machine.

[Dallasreds]

I updated. Got the first reward. Closed and restarted and got 2nd reward. GP and AGP has diamond eyes but there is no “6X higher chance” on either screen. Anybody else on IOS experiencing this?

[Gabee1611]

@roviohuzz Can you tell us what the probability of getting a set item with the new Advanced Pig Machine compared to the original. Also, will the Advanced Pig Machine’s ability stack when we get this months upcoming 5x Rainbow Riot? Thanks in advance.
