With this said, the new Arena is in a very early stage. We are working hard to make the overall experience with the Arena much better.
There’s a lot of cool features that will satisfy your suggestions. I can’t wait until we will release it to the live game.
Let’s hope those changes are for the best, until then I guess I’ll take a break from the arena.
So, the star rank is a very newly introduced feature that will give the player a easier way to monitor you own progress and it allow us to release content to the player based on their rank. Just like the Arena and the Tournament which is unlocked on level 5 & 8. This opens a window for future features to be introduced on a more natural way.
Didn’t think of that, in that case it may be worth keeping it. I just didn’t see the point of it in the current state of the game.
I agree personally that having the score multiplier in singleplayer might have been a mistake. Specially for all our score hunters in our community. And I’m sorry for that. But playing AB2 from the beginning from now on will give your birds levels a purpose. By leveling them up they will give you more score.
I still believe that it’s not too late to change it back, hopefully you have backups of the database with the old scores, as for the new levels you can simply divide the score by the average level of birds. We might need to redo some levels to get 3 stars but at least the game will once again be satisfying to play. Also bird levels would still have a purpose in the arena, the new scoring can be kept there. Please talk with your colleagues and think about reverting this change, maybe make a poll and ask players which system they like the best.
I agree, jumping between chapters is a pain. I’ve tried to come up with a good suggestion how to make it easier without making the UI taking over the screen. Please come with suggestions, I’m listening :-)
It should be quite easy, the basic functionality is already there, when you scroll far away you’re given the option to jump back to your bird. Just make 2 buttons on both sides of the screen that will jump to predefined levels, to the starting level of each world. Something like this: http://i.imgur.com/PurN8zl.png
Or a more intuitive idea that doesn’t clutter up the UI would be an “endless” scroll. Quick swipe left or right and the screen will keep scrolling and snap to the start of the next world.
The old statistics was replaced with Star rank and badges that you get from the Arena. I can suggest bringing back some old statistics but I’m not sure if they have purpose anymore.
Well it was just an idea but the main thing I miss was the number of stars you obtained from normal levels. This would help keep track of your progress and check if you still need to 3 star any level.
