@guava564 as Buster says, watch the videos, you will see higher FP players fill up the d-meter faster.
Furthermore, I have an inkling the change was brought about because Rovio wanted to do something about Solo. I have noticed that with one exception (probably due to cycling boulders in a lava layout) that Solo hasn’t been near the top 3 n most days. A couple of months ago there were rumours that Solo is a cheat (I don’t know either way) and other top players were renaming themselves as “SoloIsACheat” etc.
I have no proof of this but it’s just a theory of mine.
I think Solo was maxing out near to what the top possible points were, i.e. except in the case of lava levels where a boulder cycle can occur the maximum number of base points available in any room is 100,000. The base points scored is then multiplied by the used bird’s power. In MEBC there were a maximum of 15 rooms, that number is academic now because a strike in each room would only allow you to clear 11 rooms at most.
Therefore the top scorers need to clear the pigs out as quickly as possible to get higher scores whereas before the change it may have been more beneficial to destroy as much structure as possible and then the pigs if that player was certain to recycle the d-meter; certainly this would have been the case in the early few rooms.
As I said yesterday, the new method, despite us not getting as many MEBC coins as we did before, I think it is better for players who don’t have massive FPs but are playing well.
