@dwhite40704 I ask myself the same question whenever I turn it on to play.
Maybe it’s to see how disgustingly shameless this game is becoming every day I play it with how it rapes me for gems. As a matter of fact, just a few minutes ago in the Arena it made me lose against a player with EVERY bird one level LOWER than mine and 5 spells (explain how THAT happens). So I took 4 spells in and STILL lost by a 2,000,000 point margin (it was on a round #3 battle too, surprise surprise). Right after that, I used up a ticket and played one more time and THAT game I lost by 2,000 pts as well. 2,000 points. SERIOUSLY? You want me to pay 80 gems just to f**king win? Screw off Rovio.
Since last week I’ve ended up having to watch the stupid videos EVERY DAY, and a couple times per day, when I rarely had to prior to then… so obviously something’s been tweaked. It’s absolutely sickening how ridiculous everything has become. With all the players I encounter who are at FULL bird power the day after the the level got added, and 5 spells each, Rovio must be rolling in cash considering how expensive it must be to buy up treasure chests and get all the right feathers to complete your flock.
And with every consecutive person trying to win ahead in the arena fairly, they try to 1-up their opponent over and over and pretty soon the only games we’ll ever see are full level flock and 5 cards. As a matter of fact, it’s not far from that now, I don’t know when the last time I was challenged by someone without any spells.
Essentially I really wanted to like this game- it had a lot of potential and could be really fun. But as I said in another thread, it’s become a colossal sh!tshow of cheaters and patronizing manipulation. And nobody’s going to tell me that Rovio is not tinkering with the game physics algorithms and hasn’t got ‘ghost’ players in the fray- I’m not buying that, you can actually see it in action. This whole ‘useless bird syndrome’ has been happening more than I ever saw it happen before, and it’s always at the most opportune time to lose. Matilda’s bomb pops like a balloon and does no damage; Red’s shout does nothing; Bomb can’t take out a pig in a stone block; Terrence stops dead when hitting ice… the list goes on. Watch what the next screen looks like after you use your bomb… it’ll be all stone. See that micropig fly off too far from your slingshot when you have a chili spell in line… of course it’s to waste it on that single pig when it could cause more damage elsewhere. It’s garbage.
I don’t know why I even play it at all anymore. It’s becoming very tedious and tiresome. Rovio can’t be trusted, we’ve already been lied to as far as purchases and bonuses go.
I kill the app more times then I actually play through anything because it gets so frustrating. Maybe I should just kill it for good. I think by reading what I wrote here, I’m answering my own question- I hate the game and I’m angry at Rovio for being so deceitful and greedy. I think it’s time to put this baby to rest, it’s been out in the market for a year and still isn’t working right.
See you later folks, and enjoy the flinging. I’m taking an indefinite break from the game. Maybe I’ll log back in next time I get bored and go on vacation to see what gets changed. Chances are there will be some “Superior Thunder God Mode Diamond” level by then that will take you 100,000 feathers to reach. And there will be dozens of hackers players with full flocks of it the day it gets released. And then there will be the rest of us who play it wondering why Rovio allows it.
All I can say is that if I knew how to hack my gems I would do it too. And that doesn’t say a lot for the game.
