About the Angry Birds 2 Arena

[Djangosmum]

Not sure I’m going to bother having read of all the ‘exploits’ to gain pearls/hats/gems/spells everyone else seems to have worked out except me!

Would I use them if I had?

Sadly, little prospect of upgrading to an azure slingshot without – life’s too short.

Maybe time to call it a day.

[Angry Beaver]

I’m in. Seems it’s back.

[VL]

I still can’t get in. They did reply to my support ticket saying the problem had been fixed. Apparently not for me.

[KLM13]

I’m in as well and, thankfully, there isn’t anyone who’s been shooting fish in a barrel for more than a day, so it’s actually a competition!

[VL]

For those that gave gotten in…did it take multiple tries or was it back to normal? Not sure if I want to waste the time.

[KLM13]

@vlp57: It went as normal for me. I was actually surprised when it worked. Sorry you’re having trouble. Have you tried closing the app first? (Just a shot int the dark).

[HaoleDave]

I feel like I’ve just been mugged. Reinstalled my app… Logged back in… Lost ALL my gems and pearls… :( What’s the point of linking Facebook if it can’t save that information???

[VL]

Yes. I even turned my iPad all the way off. Guess I will just keep trying. Thanks

[Davetv]

7:00am CST Memphis Tn still can’t get in. Though I still have all the options to spend money. Come on Rovio get it together!

[dmsral]

It looks like it’s trying a little harder this morning but still no luck.

[James Peden]

It’s still not working 8am cst in Chicago so now it seems that it will be more message up as others are becoming able to access the arena whilst others are still locked out.

[DJLarryt]

Still can’t get in either.

I think Rovio’s mission is to make this entire thing automatic- it already automatically builds rooms, automatically runs the Arena, automatically generates the DC, automatically handles rewards…

Once it’s totally automatic they will fire their entire staff (except for maybe a level designer) and just let the thing run.

This is why we don’t see any action on their part when stuff breaks like it did this weekend.

[James Peden]

I am finally in I reset my phone and gother in but it really doesn’t matter as at least 1 player in my league had early access as they have several hundred stars already. Still b.s.

[Jim151]

Still can’t get in.

[Katydid]

I got in second try. Forgot to say they actually put me in a bracket with others that had been locked out. So no 3,0000 star players!

My arena started with 1 win but 0 points. So there is still a problem with the arena.

From Rovio:

Sep 5, 14:26 EEST

Hello,

and thank you for contacting us!

We’re sorry to hear that the arena was acting up! We have been able to pinpoint the cause of this issue and you should be able to get back in to the arena without problems again. Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience, don’t hesitate to get back to us if there’s anything else we can help you with. Happy slinging!

Best regards,

Jenni
Rovio Support Team

I got the same note you did, @katydid. I’m still not able to get back in. While they may have pinpointed the root cause, they haven’t fixed it consistently.

[Davetv]

Just got in at 8:45 CST Memphis 1st place has 460 stars 2nd 267 & I’m in a distant 6th with 10 for now. I have a lot of ground to make up. I also have several people in my tournament who were there last week. That seems to be happening quite often over the last 4 weeks.

[mscreant]

I am in, how do i link back to fb….tried unlinking yesterday

[Annem302]

I just got in. I got my winnings from last week, and have no one in my tournament with any points.

[CaptSternn]

Well, Mr. Hank, seems that many others figured out the exploit I reported a while back. Not only did they figure it out, they are here bragging about it.

Anyway, finally got back in about half an hour ago.

[Katydid]

Annem302:
Glad you made it in. I was going to suggest a reboot. I bet the traffic will be high all day.

[CaptSternn]

Haoledave, I don’t know about linking to Facebook because I don’t have a Facebook page. Kelshe lost their progress and contacted Rovio. Had to do a minimum gem purchase and was able to get their progress restored. It did take a week or so.

To anybody interested, back up your device. If you have iOS, back up to iTunes locally. Maybe the cloud will work, I don’t know. But however you do it, back up your device often if you give half a care about AB2 and keeping what you have earned or bought.

I survived the Easter update by doing so. Deleted and reinstalled the game, lost everything. Got it back by doing a restore. Now I do a backup at least once a week, and before doing any updates to the game. For some reason I did a backup after finishing level 520 and the Easter update was just a few days later. I lost a few gems, but everything else was restored.

Again, if you give any care about your progress and purchases in AB2, back up your device often.

[Maiasatara]

Hi @deaftalk and @chucky-2 – I just sent friend requests so I can send you each a message. Good luck this week!

[HaoleDave]

@captsternn

I have all my stars, levels, feathers, and spells… It’s just the currency that did not save. I have it backed up with my Google play account and Facebook…

[cognitive]

How do you back things up on Google Play?
