I am having the same issue. I have fought several of the top tier battles but now have no points from them.

By Max

Wooh the same for me! After having built a 4500 medal points the whole day i’ve lost everything and back to 0.. I was first of my ranking.
Empty screen and loss of points happened also in the new league battles for me. I’m so upset loosing time for nothing…

Same here, every time I play agsin, I’m back at 0.

By Celinka

same for me as well, i had played for several days before it reset me to 0 points. I was in 1st position on the leaderboard with over 7000 points. Today I logged in for a bit of advancement and boom 0, as though I had never played. I also noticed that the people who were second and third are no longer there and I’m matched up with different people, so they must have been reset as well.

I think that to compensate, Rovio should give us all 5000 points on all birds classes, to be fair. It’s the least they could do considering.

By Japhasca

Me too… lost 5800 medals. Unforgivable, especially for those that pay to play. Safeguarding player data is the single most important thing in game design. There are companies I refuse to buy from because they have had games where save files could get corrupted or deleted. Now Rovio is on that list.

I’d played this event already today. It has 3 main enemies, like other events. But they divided into difficulty.

By clavin

Hi guy could your keep the event medal? I been spend so many of energy for it. But once reset the app, the progress of the event and medal all gone.

By Dan

…. and going again pretty quickly…

I had about 2000 medals this afternoon and now I’m back to 0 this evening. Another fantastic update from rovio. I swear everytime there is an update, they take something away.

@birdleader @amslimfordy @sal9 @e-star @sweetp — This is really bad. Have any of you contacted Rovio about the resetting to 0 (and new leaderboard)? Did they respond? If they don’t fix this soon it will be a major disaster.

Rank: Sling God with 26055 points
By sal9 (@sal9)

Yes we have @mvnla2. It’s Sunday evening, not much will be achieved today, hopefully tomorrow.

@admins — So why does Rovio release stuff on Sun, if there is no one minding the store?

Hi, I lost all ma progress for this event this night too.
Hope Rovio will fixe this bug.

@mvnla2 You’re welcome to voice your concerns to Rovio Support. Though I’d guess you already shot Peter V a tweet.

@AMSlimfordy — You bet, Peter, Rovio support and QALauri. All have replied. I haven’t had problems yet this morning, but it sounds like other people still are.

Thank you @sal9. Man, this is madness… Hope everything gets fixed ASAP, especially considering the great mastery rewards on the wheel.

I’ve just lodged a ticket too. Lost probably 10,000 points, plus probably 50+ friendship essence used on re-rolls. So angry right now.

When I opened up the game today, I didn’t have my 5 double points swords. Did anyone else notice that?

That’s weird. I closed the game and opened it again and there they were.

After losing all my event medals 4 times … I “think” I am seeing a pattern. All 4 times I lost my event medals just after opening one of the presents just lying on the ground. I have stopped opening them and “so far” I’ve not had the event medal reset error.

By Bird Leader (@birdleader)

Interesting @GalakSS. I was wondering if there might be a connection here. If anyone can replicate this (and is willing to try), please share your results. cc @admins

Rank: Sling God with 35350 points
By Joey (@joeyba)

It happened to me without picking presents. I just played all my medals and then i lost everything again! No presents were picked at all!!
Cc @admins @galakss

By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

@galakss It seems to reset periodically. We believe the issue is randomly reassigning player ID’s and would not likely be affected by any user actions.

Darn. Thanks for clarifying!

@josm — Did this happen today? Was there a message saying that in was for the Holiday event?

Rank: Sling God with 28590 points
By MVNLA2 (@mvnla2)

Just got the answer: A message from ME in the inbox:
“The Mighty Eagle grants you 60 Lucky Coins to help you on your way after the issues during the holidays.”
Will have to think about this a bit, was really expecting more.

On the bright side, I have managed to accumulate several hundred energy drinks from the presents. Once they get this fixed, I will be able to play, and play, and play!

It seems we keep the experience potions and the stamina drinks after we get a reset, but we lose the snoutlings found in the presents. Can u confirm pls @burbman

At least if you were lucky enough to be logged in and paying attention when it ended, you got to spin the wheel and collect the award. Not clear if people who were not present at the end were able to spin.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

I was rank 2 with 85 medals and was able to spin. I got like 1400 snoutlings.

@admins — Hope you are enjoying your Christmas, and not paying too much attention to the rest of us whining, but … It seems that not everyone was able to spin at the end, even if they were there and in first place. Did get to spin, but was in 6th (2 stars) because my game “refused” to reset and give me a new leaderboard with low points.

I think it was for the best. While some may see it as unfair, it is not unreasonable to cancel a buggy system quickly.

‘For all of those asking for compensation: YES, we plan on compensating all of you for losses and the inconvenience! Points can’t be restored’

Rank: Fling King with 4560 points
By Narc (@narc)

Here is a response I received this morning regarding compensation:

“With the events system we tried to add a fun layer to Angry Birds Epic, but unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, you weren’t able to enjoy it in the way that we would have hoped. We had to pull the event early due to the issues. We are also investigating the other issues in the game. Sorry that we messed up!

Going forward, we’ll be adding Lucky Coins to your game as soon as we get the next update out to try and make up for this.

Sincere apologies, we hope that you’ve been having a wonderful holiday season otherwise!”

EPIC FREEZE in the ARENA. Is anyone else having freeze and crash problems in the Arena? The Blues freezes during the middle of a match causing a loss. I’ve spent at least 80 coins because I’ve been using up my 3 chances due to the crash. (Stupid I know!) EPIC Developers are you working on fixing this? Thanks!
