Hmm I must say that I’m not sure how we handle the recordings. This is not my field. But I will ask about this as well. Regarding you fighting the same battle is very rare. But if you got veeery high bird levels then there’s a lot fewer games. So that could be a reason why.
* Do you toss the rounds recorded more than a day ago? – This I will also ask about. As the feature is so new I’ve not really got around to asking it before!
When it comes to people using all spells this is all based on how your fellow combatants is choosing to use their spells. As you’ve seen having five spells in not giving you a win. I’ve also been fighting people with a lot of spells and bested them without using any myself.
As I’ve tried to explain, spells are a enhancement to your play but its not a pay to win feature. It does not guaranty you a win. It increases the odds but the bird tossing is still the deciding factor.
And thank you I’ve had a wonderful holiday so far. Awesome Christmas presents and wonderful Swedish Christmas food!
I even got a awesome ping-pong rack from my mother to use during lunch breaks in the office. 2016 looks like a good year for me, but not my colleges! Mohahaha!


@dmsral

Even the best can’t perform 100% at all times! I recommend watching a toons episode to gain you anger up towards those nasty pigs. Anger is always the reason why we perform good in Angry Birds, don’t you agree?


@rizdub

Fair enough, I agree. In my opinion the recorded data should be the same maps as you play. Maybe it is but I will look it up and get you a solid answer. And if its not I will try to change that!


@andalaybay

The recorded opponent data is not based on rooms at all. They throw a bird if you do. If the opponent card amount is greater than yours they will throw more than one when you throw yours to even it out to the end. Its a little bit confusing to wrap your head around but when you understand it it does actually make sense :-)

Well clearing rooms is not really a key in the arena. The score is the key. However yes clearing a room to get a new fresh one with a lot of thing to destroy is good. But replacing birds with a spell is not an option. Bird cards are considered better than spells, especially if their level is higher. That would make the spells worthless.
My personal opinion of spells is that it is not a pay to win feature. It does give a slight advantage but it does not give you a win. Using spells in the arena or not is a decision for Rovio to take as it does have huge consequences. I agree that removing spells makes a more plain field to the fights but it could also affect how we can deliver future updates. So you have to see the bigger picture here. I’m happy to see that there is no big pay-to-win feature in our game compare to many games out there on the free-to-play market.
I hope we all can appreciate that :-)


@tormave

I’m glad that you also agree to this. As I’ve said before I will look in to the room sequence. And I’ve got a lot of ideas how to change the UI in the arena to show the opponent room progress as well. I will try to make it happen!

I like your description of the old arena, haha. Well first of all we can’t assume that they are fighting different rooms yet. If it is different rooms I’m up for changing it, if my colleagues agree.
Well everyone might not see it that way. I can only relate to myself and if I see someone getting a head start I’m starting to play like crazy to get above that person. I’m here to climb the ladder and no one is gonna stop me. I recommend trying to optimize your runs if you short on time. I always find dead time to fill out. For example in the train station or during your toilet visits! I actually got a gold medal last week without using any spells or buying any gems. “very proud”

@All
The post with all the notes will have to wait a day or two. I need to find the time to do it and its new years soon so it might be delayed!
