Hey all,
Here are my thoughts on how last weeks arena battle ended up and how things are going now:
— First, I think that Facebook connections got lost. I was neck and neck with a player named “Sergio” right before the update, and then after the update Sergio was stuck on score. My guess was that he was not able to connect until he updated the game. When he did come back, his name was back to a generic, e.g. “Terence #24561”. So, I think you might want to check your Facebook linkage if things seem off.
— On the last day of last week’s Arena play, I became the only person on my leaderboard. Mind you, I was already up by 50 stars (in first place) the night before, but I had seen Sergio log in 20-30 stars overnight. So I was sweating it out. When I saw I was all alone on the board it was weird. I did end up getting first place, but I have no idea what the heck happened there.
— Arena play is pretty good now. I don’t mind the extra card because it does not effect the other player. It’s not like your opponent gets credit for a win if you lose to them. All it does is seem to inflate scores, IMO. I also don’t mind spell cards still being usable but they are no longer drawn into (except as that last card…got a rubber duck once).
Other observations:
— Anyone else seeing small treasure rewards every thirty minutes? That’s a lot of rewards. I barely remember to open my tablet that often.
— New levels seemed pretty easy, overall, with fewer six-room levels and some levels with so many flower-shooters that they were easy to Strike.
— Game actually feels a little smoother to me, so not sure why things are better for me when other people seem to be seeing more crashes. Perhaps Rovio has optimized a bit for Intel chipsets on Android.
Thanks,
