Hey guys! After a bit of a break from the game to conquer AB Star Wars II and collect the coins and unlock my remaining characters plus enjoy the new Rio 2 updates, I’ve reverted back to my one true love…Angry Birds Go! lol
Up to 819 challenges complete now. (Seedway 237, Rocky 194, Air 133, Stunt 205, SubZero 50)
Using the daily event (with faceback doubler) to collect gems has allowed me to conquer most of the “Use King Sling 7 times in a Row” challenges. This costs about 60 gems to do if you acquire the slings like @platium suggests in the IAP Power Up section vs the just before the race. You get 5 King Sling Power Ups for 40 gems, then use the last 2 for 10 a piece or wait till you have another 40 gems to get 5 more.
The frustrating part of beating this challenge is the very next level…in all cases so for for all tracks I’ve conquered is a dreadfully gem expense challenge “Use All Power Ups in 3 Races”
So that means Sling, Boost, Repair and the annoying Target Kart 3 times each PLUS the already documented bug tied to this challenge that actually forces you to do this 4 times before you get the completion check mark! So non-discounted gems mean (10+5+15+20)*4=200 gems to pass it OR the IAP discounted gems that give you a 5 pack of each power up costs (40+20+60+80)= 200 gems and you should have 1 power up each left over. (better deal obviously!). If you use true IAPs with real money…$5.52 to get 200 gems to cover just 1 of these challenges (more gems purchased with real money the cheaper the rate but I stay away from this option)
I’ve uncovered at least 15 of these “Use All Power Ups in 3 Races” challenges so I’m looking at 3,000 gems to earn. Can’t see myself investing the time and most definitely won’t be putting in the real money to achieve these things.
In my heart, I want to believe Rovio programmed this challenge when Power Ups were acquired with coins not gems. I don’t understand why they chose to update Go! with power-ups costing gems with the last update of the game…oh wait..right their a business and in it to make money through IAPs….right…my bad :)
Has someone written Rovio requesting that Power Ups go back to Bird Coins vs Gems? Curious there response (if any). I’m a millionaire with Bird Coins (1,552,087)but dirt poor on gems (only 13) now after using them to go from 800 to 819 challenges.
Sigh…like Red and Chuck…I just want to go fast! Happy driving!
