I had to stop reading after my “spitting fire” rant last week but have a few more things to say. I’ve been collecting data like many other players though mine has to do with the inequity of scores awarded per room in the Arena. After throwing the first bird I’m throwing a Strike 99% of the time with about a 99% destruction rate. HOWEVER my score after doing this is between 1/4 and 1/2 of my opponent’s score 99% of the time. This is IMPOSSIBLE. There is no way that two players attacking the same room with one bird and total destruction can have a point difference of 500,000 points! But then when one goes to the Leaderboards for AB2 here at The Nest there are VAST differences in scores that are specific to individual players (which happened after the last update.) I went back to play old levels and where my first place score was 350,000 I’m now getting 1,200,000. Thinking everyone must have downloaded the same scoring algorithm, I get to the leader board and see 2 other players scored over 2,500,000. DOUBLE my new ridiculous score. Now, if a variety of people were scoring the high I’d think, ok, fight harder. But no – THE SAME SINGLE PLAYER HOLDS EVERY FIRST PLACE IN EACH EPISODE. Then the same exact player holds almost every SECOND PLACE in an episode. My score ratio is the same and right now I’m the 7th – 8th place person. So tell me, how is it I’m ALWAYS getting paired with people who DOUBLE my score in arena battles? Same room, one bird, total destruction should mean a nearly equal score; NOT one person getting double or triple. I have dozens of screen shots clogging up memory and imagine no one cares. As for the spells, I’ve WON every time I’m up against people USING THEM when I have none. The Sardine Can, the one that costs 100 gems? AWARDS ALMOST NO DEBRIS POINTS!!!! It counts the pig points with a negligible addition of only a few thousand even when monstrous multiple stone structures bite the dust. If I had blown them with a bomb I would earn hundreds of thousands but lost several arena battles counting on those debris points in a final room before I figured out there’s an obvious bug. I’m a damned good player. I’ve had first place scores here, Iv’e earned puppies, I’ve come in first place in my Diamond League in Friends and I FIGHT for decent scores. There is NO WAY that my high loss ratio in Thr Arena is representative of my actual playing ability. Either put the original play structure back or actually let real people within the same league/rank ACTUALLY PLAY LIVE AGAINST EACH OTHER. And for the love of god, fix the scoring algorithm so that ever player earns the same amount for destruction. I’m ready to delete all from my phone.
