Angry Birds Star Wars II Galactic Giveaway On Now!

Have you been struggling to earn precious Bird Coins in Angry Birds Star Wars II? Looking to earn a few more character swaps to help you compete at a higher level on the ABN Leaderboard? Hi, I’m AMslimfordy and do I have a deal for you in ABSW2 v1.4.0, currently available for iOS and Android via Google Play, with coming soon to more platforms soon.

Sorry everyone, I fell asleep watching info-mercials last night and wanted to see how a post would sound written like one. Moving on.

This update includes:

  • A 1000-Coin Galactic Giveaway! Scattered around most levels are Bird Coins. Simply hit them with something (a character, debris, a rocket, etc.) to earn upwards of 1000 Bird Coins!
  • Carbonite Rewards! Similar to a few other Angry Birds apps, there is now a randomized lottery to earn you a free Character Swap. The Carbonite takes 8 hours to melt, so you can earn a free Swap once per 8 hours. Or, if you’re impatient, melt the Carbonite immediately for 80 Coins (this price decreases as the timer counts down).
  • “Traitor” Mode! At least, that’s what I want to call it. You can now use Bird Swaps on Pork Side levels, and vice versa, for a small fee. To become a traitor for a single level costs 10 Coins, and for all levels costs 299 Coins. Note that these are separate purchases per side.
  • Disable Character Hints! If you’re tired of getting instructions on how to use a character, you can disable this in the home screen: Click on the Gear, then the exclamation point (or “shriek”). Bye-bye pesky reminders!

So don’t delay, hurry to an App Store near you to download this latest update. These Bird Coins are in high demand and retail at $9.99, yours for free (just feel bad about the very poor handling of your lovely birds).

Oh, and help is only a forum topic away. See:

Actually how it work?
I cannot see countdown timer after tap ‘8H’, and does it required internet to get melt?

@pjng yes when activate melting you need internet connection, also for collecting after 8h you need internet connection (not all the time between start and collect)

It’s weird. Sometimes I receive a notification on my screen that I have a reward waiting for me in SWII and carbonite melted. When I go in the game, I discover it’s still counting down.

If it doesn’t require internet connection, Users can MELT the Carbonite by changing time/date of their device, too easily. The app needs this possible to prevent the frauds of hackers.

Re Traitor Mode — I suppose I should have known this, but in the search for more coins, I actually squandered 299 permanently unlocking bird characters for pork levels. What it means is that you can use your hard-earned bird character swaps to swap them into pork levels. Tried one and didn’t see any more coins.

And just to prove how ignorant I am in terms of using swaps, I think I should have unlocked the pork side. Gaah.

@joeyba — Hey! No fair! I also only get 2 extra melts when the melt period is up. Has anyone gotten Luke Endor, Silver C-3PO, Carbonite Han Solo, Boba Fett, Biker Scout, Hologram Darth Sidious, Shocktrooper, jabba the Hutt, or Tusken Raider?

@AMSlimfordy @BirdLeader @all — Has anyone found more than 914 or 915 coins yet?

Rank: Sling God with 35410 points
By Joey (@joeyba)

@mvnla2 I dont know why i keep ending at 911…
I checked all the levels 4 times already (as posted in page 1-2) and it keeps adding to 911 (896 i have + 15 i did not get yet)

I thought this is worth mentioning and taking your opinion:
I play the game on IPhone 5. I have it also installed on IPhone 4 (never play on it) and both are signed with my Rovio account.
Every 8 hours I get the melting reward on both of them separately (different rewards). However the watching AD that gives 2 more tries is available only on IPhone 5, not on the 4..
Conclusion: the more devices the game is on, the more rewards you get..

Some comments on the Carbonite melting reward:
* You can watch an ad to melt the carbonite in slightly less than 8 hrs. Not sure how much less yet.
* If it is close to the 8 hrs, it’s better to wait, because you will get more chances for new characters. If your schedule conflicts with waiting, you will get at least 2 rounds (1 ad to melt the carbonite early, and 1 bonus round)
* At most I have gotten 2 ads to watch to melt immediately, so if you wait the carbonite to melt, you get 3 rounds. I have never gotten more than 2 ads (and never less), but @Joeyba got 4 ads!
* This morning I got 7 shocktroopers (in 2 consecutive cycles), and 1 darth sidious (not the hologram)

Bah! I didn’t get any ads to watch this morning for extra characters. Is this just me being unlucky, or have the extra rounds stopped for everyone?
BTW — Yesterday I did get 1 (count ’em, one) Jabba and 1 silver C 3PO! Still hoping / waiting for the hologram Darth Sidious, Boba Fett, Biker Scout, Royal Guard (still need 1 or 2), Luke Endor, and Carbonite Han (still neeed 1?).
Has anyone gotten any of these?

Rank: Sling God with 35410 points

@mvnla2 no ads for me :(
Maybe we shouldn’t wait till the end of the melting.

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

@joeyba — Haven’t managed to figure out when you can melt early by watching an ad. Even when we were getting lots of ads, at 2 hrs early, no ads were available. I have seen ads at 10 or maybe 20 min early, but bet they won’t be there today. I still have more than 2 hrs left to go on current melt.

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

@Joeyba — I’m at 10 min left ’till melt, and no ads offered, so I think they’re gone. Fooey!

Rank: Sling God with 35410 points
By Joey (@joeyba)

@mvnla2 yea i think they stopped the ads…
i got 2 jabba by normal melting and lost them again!!! :(

Rank: Sling God with 35410 points

@mvnla2 I got today as a reward 3 Hologram Sidious.
I only made good use of 1, the other two I lost..
Still no ads

@Josm — Where did you get the 920? Rovio hasn’t given me an exact answer yet. Actually they’ve given conflicting answers.

LoL! Rovio tweeted to me, but I didn’t get an e-mail notification!

MVNLA ‏@MVNLA 23h

Why do they not have the ‘watch ad, carbonite melted’ thing in Android/Google Play? And how does it work?

By Riley Gronlund

Before I got a new phone following Sprint’s collapse, there were ads that could be played for five coins whenever you complete a level. However, I cannot play those ads now, no matter what. What happened?
