I would like better ways to grind for feathers. As it is now I want to reach Diamond League. To get to Diamond League I load level 9 and then I restart if there is not a gift on the first screen. Then I do this 100s of times. That is the most efficient way of upgrading birds and it’s extremely boring.
A red gift grants 100 feathers. Getting a good score in the arena nets around 100 feathers, depending on league. I don’t think that is enough. If I would have grinded feathers by just playing the arena once every day, I would never get any progression at all. I would still be in Silver League after 3star:ing every level.
For me now, it is required to get 1600 points per bird to upgrade it. A good score in the arena, like 1-5th place nets me around 100 feathers. There are 7 birds so it would take around 7*1600= 11200. 11200/100= 112 days. Most of the time I won’t place 5th or better so I will get like 40-80 feathers. We’re talking the better part of a year here just to get an upgrade from Emerald to Amethyst. Unless I’m willing to restart level 9 over and over again, grinding red gifts.
I have a slight tweak to remedy the situation:
* Let me grind the Arena for red gifts.
The idea here is to keep everything about the Arena like it is, but reward players every time they play it. So if I get 2nd, I get my name placed on the leaderboard and I instantly get feathers. This could work with a threshhold instead so that if I beat 100k points, I get 20 feathers. 500k points, 100 feathers etc. When the day is done, I also get a reward for my highscore if I placed well enough.
This way I would feel like I’m doing progression at an elevated pace, but I don’t have to resort to mindless grinding to reach my goal. A goal I think a lot of people will share, especially if you juice up Diamond League and really make something out of it.
