So the arena works the way I said it does in several of my posts. You’re playing against someone else’s play-through. As Clovos has said, they want to use up all your opponent’s birds, so if it looks like you are using more birds per room than your opponent did, they will “play” more birds and show more points for your opponent than you have. You may catch up to your opponent if you use fewer birds as you proceed through the rooms.
Here are the things I don’t like about the new arena and AB2 in general:
– gem rewards versus feathers. Since I don’t have many gems, I like the gem rewards, but it allows players to buy more arena plays as well. Suggestion: increase price of arena plays so players can’t buy wins.
– spell cards give extra play cards. Using a spell card should replace a bird. Otherwise players will buy spell cards and will dominate the arena. Even though spell cards don’t award as many points, they often allow you to clear a room with a single card. Clearing rooms is key in the arena, so coming in with several spell cards will usually allow you to clear more rooms. Suggestion: have spell cards replace birds so you don’t have as many birds when you use a spell card. Another possibility is to cap the number of rooms in the arena, so you would need the higher point rewards from using birds.
– tournament duration. A week is too long. Suggestion: reduce to three days.
Other:
– please fix the physics of some of the pigs. The umbrella pig should not be able to cling to vertical surfaces! Slowing his fall makes sense, but it would be nice if he popped when he tumbles off a block, and the umbrella should help his tumbling, not prevent it.
– please make the small pigs pop easier. They shouldn’t survive bricks falling on top of them!
@clovos – thank you for your explanations and taking the time to talk to us and listening to our concerns. :-)
