Update works on my Android tablet, but not on iPhone. That works out for me since I primarily play on the tablet. But it is some pretty poor quality control.
Arena seems a bit better now. I like seeing the opponents cards, etc. It also would appear that the opponent’s final score doesn’t count extra cards; at least, I have never seen a bunch of extra cards pop up at the end like they used to. My win percentage is about the same as far as I can tell…sometimes I do very well, other times I don’t even come close.
I do not like the 60-gems-for-three-cards-continue option. That’s really exploitative. Sixty gems to get 5-10 more stars? Winning the Arena only nets 100 gems, and the difference between second and first place is only 50 gems, so anyone who spends gems on even just one continue a week is someone I don’t understand (how is a picture of a trophy with a number next to it so satisfying?). Allowing a continue is fine as long as it doesn’t count when that player’s run is replayed against someone else, but it is simply a money grab. Not to mention, there is always that chance, especially as we get used to the new screen flow and buttons, that we accidentally tap that button. Bam! There go 60 gems. I am sure Rovio would be very sad about a few thousand people making that “mistake”.
@bankler — Full three-card continues have no place in the Arena. It’s a clear money-grab and should be removed. Please don’t give me the standard, “It is what players have been asking for and makes the gameplay in the Arena more fun.” There is no way a majority of AB2 players were clamoring for a 60-gem continue in the Arena, especially now if you have removed the extra birds from the opponent’s run (I guess I am not sure if that is the case, it is just an assumption). Do you really think a full continue (one that makes no gem-accounting sense) is something the game needs? Do you not see that that is EXACTLY the kind of money-grab some players are complaining about on here?
Thanks,
