Hey Flingers!

While I understand your frustration as a competitive gamer myself, I’ll still try to convince you that we’re not doing shady business in the Arena. I’m sure I will never be able to convince all of you, but that’s life. When you’re in a game against another player, no variables are used to change the outcome of anything – the core mechanics are untouched. It might feel like some things always happen when you’re X% of a score or with X birds left, but it’s just a coincidence.

Personally I’d like it if the game had real nicknames, so you could actually see that sometimes the player you call a cheater is just a fellow Nest -player who had a good run. This is unfortunately something we had to cut for the initial Arena implementation because of legal reasons, hence the “cutesy bird names”. We’ll see if we can re-visit that in the upcoming update. How would you guys feel about that? Worth it or just meh?


@sambeaver
I can happily tell you that the new update, with some new really cool features, will be out tomorrow Thursday (if all goes as planned)! If you guys have issues that Customer Support can’t help you with, you could try to send me a private message on here and I’ll see if I can help you in any way.


@ddeck

Could you send me a private message with step by step instructions to how and when you get this UI error? This will greatly help us solve, thank you!

The level you showed should be fixed in the next update (tomorrow?), thank you!

I’m trying to not repeat myself all too much, but I can also assure all of you that the matchmaking will get some changes soon enough. We’re low on staff at the moment to the point where there are features/tasks (backend) that can’t be done by just anyone. So it takes a bit longer than we’d like.

I’m eager to hear your reactions for the update tomorrow. Take care!
