[nacho18]

Hello @team: I still racing by batches every time I found out a Race with Subzero ; I avoided : my standing its 2006 GE’s
And I don’t know if you see me : my strategy to Go! Behind of the contenders ; to protect you works ; when I use Corporal Pig : from the very beginning , I clash the contenders ; then more ahead on Race I use his Power to clash and eliminate then : some times I am Second or third and even First .
I thing so this strategy works for me : while ROVIO cure my Game. And I can use Multiple devices again.!!! Very slow but ; very secure, for know.

Okay racers ” ABGOFAST ” . Go! Go! Go! . FASTER.!!!

@nacho18, @abgofast, @dbKraemer, @grimmjow, @alcusto, @philhayler, @cholewap, @janmej,@angryde

i will take it slow now… past week was to aim 10k eggs and i got it…

chuck, red, king pig and bubble allow me to lay my hand on the trophy!!!

terence, bomb, corporal, foreman pig and matilda is wngman time!!! knock the rest off their race!!!

blue really is not so usefull…not strong and fast….mischievous yes!!!

[janmej]

@ABGoFast I’m up for it and will try to make 5000+ this week.

I saw @nacho18 twice yesterday. What an honour! And then I’ve actually been racing with @grimmjow a lot. Always on Stunt tracks. You were right @ABGoFast; he’s epic! But it has to be an old ghost since the egg count doesn’t go up. Yesterday I also saw more of @alcusto and @dbkraemer. My pleasure!

As far as strategy is concerned, I’m mainly into going fast ;-) and trying to improve on Rocky Road. Any tips for me?

See you out there. Watch out for the russians. They’re strong.

[janmej]

Oh, by the way. Big congrats to @platium for surpassing the 10k and also to @ABGoFast for being the absolute top of the pop of the individual leaderboard with an impressive count of more than 29k eggs. Fast tracked weekend!

[Arus73]

@platium congrats my friend and chapeau for your amazing fast pace to get to 10k GE before me and @dbkraemer

@all I found a forum of some Ukrainian cheaters where they discuss about modded game versions with unlimited coins and gems. They apparently formed a cheating team called Ukraine One and they were boasting for their team being number 4 of the leaderboard. Good grief!

[Arus73]

@abgofast I’m also up for it although my family duties will probably hamper my overall GE collection. I’ll try to make 2500 this week.

My strategy is simple. If I have an attacking racer (terence, bomb, corporal, foreman pig and matilda) I will try to smash as many opponents as I can to enable my teammates to get to the first positions; if I have a fast racer (chuck, red, king pig and bubble) I’ll try to get to the best positions and avoid that opponents using power-ups win the race.

The blues might be useful in Rocky Road tracks as his special power can be activated every time the speed lowers down after a wide turn.

Yesterday I had the joy of racing with our fearless leader and amigo @nacho18. It was in Rocky Road. You were using a leaf blower power-up which helped you stay shoulder to shoulder with the Angry Riders leader and smash him away. Wow!

Truly missing @philhayler’s and @cholewap’s contributions to our team’s overall GE count.

[Arus73]

@team! I have chased Rovio regarding the cheaters issue and I share below fyi their reply to me:

Qte
Our developers are currently looking into the issue with cheaters on the team ranking but it takes time for them to prevent these people from getting on the list again. Please be patient and bear with us! Thank you for your understanding.
Unqte

[janmej]

NOOOO, did I just loose all of my GEs. All of a sudden it just says 0 eggs. Can anyone confirm for me?

[platium]

Hi @janmej

What happen to you? Don’t tell me your system crash as well? For rocky, do not take the plank path.. Also of the track that has long deep tunnel take the left side, and when diving down into the tunnel, keep left as well… For the 4 path rocky track… Take the third from left or second from right track, then go into the slip road and break track and fly straight down to the finishing line..

For the rest!
Thanks for all the messages!

[Arus73]

Yes @janmej! Oh My!!!! I see your GE counter to 0. More than 20k GE disappeared like that is terrible. Is this an iOs bug? All our friends losing GE are iOs players. It seems us Android players are safe for the time being.
I also notice that the AngryRiders have disappeared from the top 10 leaderboard. Is this just a visual bug or did they lose some players who had more than 50k gems?

[platium]

@janmej

Think you have to write in to get the eggs back… Maybe went to transformer land….

[nacho18]

@janmej ..!!! Sorry yes .!!! You loss All yours GE’s … I am racing on iOS ! Don’t worry . Write ROVIO ; tell them about your loss . It’s a bug ..!!

Don’t worr it takes 2 days to recover all them .!!!

[nacho18]

@janmej .!! If you are Racing multiple Devices don’t do that !! Only one.

Take a Loock were or which track exactly your loss .! Me example; its on SubZero ..!! I don’t Race on SubZero.!!

When you I D where your loss was : avoid that Track.!!! Okay .!!! Don’t worry you’ll recover yours GE’s. Okay.

[janmej]

@nacho18, @alcusto, @platium

I don’t know what happened! I was trying to multitask, working, listening to podcasts, and racing at the same time, so I cannot even remember if I did actually crash and on which track. I guess that’s what you get for not paying close attention to the most important matter at hand…all of a sudden it was just there; zero GEs…

I wrote Rovio after trying to reinstall the app and frantically logging in and out of my Rovio account. I hope they’ll be able to restore those damned eggs. Otherwise I just have to really give it a go this week and make up for the loss…grrr.

Am I right though, it didn’t effect the team’s overall GE count? I also have not lost my progress in single player mode, but what fun is that!?

@nacho18 I’m on a single device, iOs. As @alcusto mentions there seem to be problems there.

@platium thanks for the tips on rocky road. I thought I was already doing the things you’re mentioning, but probably not sufficiently enough. On stunt tracks I sort of just let the kart roll and do all the work only trying stabilising it once in a while whereas on rocky road the kart seems to go slower when I’m not steering, but also when I am.

[Arus73]

yes @janmej I confirm that the team’s overall GE count was not affected at all. What a weird bug is this lads?!
In any event, keep calm and play fast!

[ABGoFast]

@janmej – I still see 21,389 on the leaderboard for you and you’re still #17. But the “zero” is on the team home page for sure. The 21 thousand still counting towards the team totals I just seeing all the posting now after my work day. I imagine you’re quite distraught. Deep breath. The data is still in Rovio’s system just not displaying. Hope they can fix. Our 2nd largest GE collector is now in the pit stop AND she absolutely hates how long it takes for the pit crew to change her tires and fill her kart with petrol/gas. She wants to GO FAST!

@nacho18,@dbKraemer, @grimmjow, @alcusto, @philhayler, @cholewap, @janmej,@angryde

All you iOS users….please learn how to do backups of the game files (think there is a page on this site that explains how to back up and I’ll see if I can find it and add it to this post). In theory, with the “Rovio account” you shouldn’t have to to your own back-up but clearly there are problems with it and ABGO app too.

Another update for driver domination of non cheaters….Mlizzard has 30,018 to my 29,008. We were tied when I went to sleep last night. Looks like 1,000+ egg night for me lies ahead….

@alcusto – thanks for the update on the cheater status … it’s a bit of a line the Rovio support person gives you that “it takes time” but encouraging none-the-less. Takes time to remove cheaters and hacks to me means they don’t know how to secure the app from it happening. I think they would want them out NOW cause they’re stealing away any IAP potential revenue for Rovio. I know if someone hacked my game/app that I’d be investing in a fix right away!

hi all

some help
for those using iOs, if your game crash… when u load up again… wait for awhile… an option of conflict will appear… choose the cloud, which does not ZERO in all attributes… it happen to me sometime… but i overcome it…

some info:
i dun know about you guys… 1 of the skill i pick up is to, NOT to crush teammates or b crushed by teammates!!! especially in AIR!!! too narrow to escape…

i use 4x chuck special to outpace angryriders in subzero… they are power up hoarder!!! especially zach and 1 more…

some tips to help…
for sub zero… is straight down the middle for track 1 and 2… for 3 is left 1st then right…

i also notice if u r using chuck at seedway, try to use his special straight away.., so you break away from the group… do not let them have a chance to enter your slipstream if there is any… and also close to the wall… u will be faster!!!

angryriders is improving at rocky… they are harder to beat now, but luckily… using left blower makes it very hard to control at BUMPY ROCKY!!! they will crash into the wall…

that’s all folks!

[janmej]

Rovio thinks I’m cheating

“Hello Jane,

Unfortunately that score suggests that you are using some kind of cheating tool because having 21 000 golden eggs should not be possible in this amount of time as the multiplayer mode has only launched a few weeks ago.

Best regards,

Salla
Rovio Support Team”

What to do?

[Arus73]

@janmej
A solution which comes into my mind is for our leader @abgofast to write to Rovio and explain well the situation. If janmej is believed to be a cheater, Rovio might think that abgofast is a cheater too because he has over 30k GE, but abgofast might explain in detail to them the way he accumulated all those GE and that janmej’s figure is reasonable for the same reasons.

@platium
Thank you so mcuh for your helpful tips, much appreciated. I see that you are using the Big Burner L4 kart in Rocky Road (same as abgofast). Is it much faster than my Punch Box L4? I guess so considering that you easily pass me on a straight line.

[janmej]

If I were distraught yesterday I’m incredibly offended right now. I’ve put time and money in the game. And now this. If I were cheating I wouldn’t be so bothered, then I’d be able to gather the missing eggs in no time… And wouldn’t I be a lousy cheater with a mere total of 21k eggs compared to more than 10 mill. eggs like the actual cheaters have!?

Sorry guys, I won’t take it out on you. Just feeling rather frustrated.

[janmej]

@alcusto thanks, that seems like sound advice. What do you think @ABGoFast?

In my reply to Rovio I stress that some of us, myself included have been writing to them in order to have the cheaters removed. That would be rather silly of me if I were a cheater myself. I’ve also put down the approx. number of hours played and tried to make it comprehensible that we’re one if the strongest teams, winning a lot hence bringing home a lot of GEs.

[ABGoFast]

@janmej @alcusto

Holy crap! I have written Rovio support with some very strong (yet clean) wording how unacceptable this reply was to you. I identified our team and the hours we put into the game. I requested an apology to you or I threatened to disband the team and tell everyone to delete the app. I gave our team name and asked they look at our hours played and profile. This is upsetting me to no end.

It will be interesting what reply I get to my open request. I will share both my note and reply when received.

[janmej]

@ABGoFast thank you so much for your support and sympathy. I’m very grateful. For what’s it’s worth I’m so happy that I have incredible team mates in this situation. My ticket number for the support is #1067315 in case you need it. Thanks again.

[Arus73]

Well done @abgofast!

Considering how strongly we are trying to compete in a clean way with all those cheaters who use unlimited power-ups/gems, it sounds incredibly upsetting the way they treated one of our best teammates. How can they dare do this? I myself have invested much money on this game’s telepods/gems and sometimes I feel I have been silly buying a telepod after I won that kart on the weekly tourney.
Anyway, feeling down and upset my friends! We certainly don’t deserve this treatment.
