About the Angry Birds 2 Arena

[DJLarryt]

Got back in earlier today. First place already 390 stars. Anyone else 0 stars.

After a few hours there’s a team of players all battling it out with 300+ stars each already.

Guess I’ll be passing on the Arena this week. Already at a disadvantage from losing 2 whole days of Arena playing and I’m not even going to try to compete with those ranks.

Mscreant Sorry I just saw your message just sign into Facebook. Be sure to check keep me signed in. It will save your info. If your lucky. Check from time to time to be sure you are still signed in, and the Game Center also keeps your info. To be sure backup to the cloud or iTunes.

@davetv,

I was able to log in 2:00pm Eastern Time. Yup I have the same people in my tournament as in last week. That’s the 2nd time in a row this happened. Because of this fiasco with not being able to get in the arena and missed my daily feathers. Hehe, sure enough, first place had 362 stars and I was at a distance 10th.

So did an hour playing binge to catch up and I’m up in 2nd so far. Sucks to have to spend gems but I need me an Azure sling :-)

[mscreant]

I figured it out, thanks. I do backup my iPad often…but…how does one backup to Facebook or does it happen automagically? Also, how reliable is that backup? I only linked to a FB account to get some gems Rovio sent me as an “Mea Culpa” for an issue but figured I would keep it linked for the backup. Sounds like that is a waste.

[angrynerds2]

Like I said yesterday..
just 12 hours later one clown leads the group with 469 stars out of nothing }:-(

update: three hours later that guy has 580! I guess he has over 2000 on saturday

@mscreant

It’s supposed to do it automatically. But for some reason, it did not save my gems or pearls, only stars, levels, arena progress, and spells…

[mscreant]

Yeah….sure seems useless! Thanks

[DJLarryt]

@angrynerds2 Leader in my league already has 600+ stars. As a matter of fact, I’m in last place with 78 stars and I hope I get demoted.

But as others have said earlier, I noticed I’m playing against all the same people as last week…. or at least 90% of them (because several are still using their FB names and I remember them or their FB photo).

[KLM13]

Uuuuugh! I just fat fingered the purchase of Specials that cost me 1600 gems! Why, why, WHY doesn’t Rovio ask you to confirm before processing something like that? (Rhetorical…I know exactly why…but it still pisses me off). Ack!

[Anonymous]

Gems/pearls have never synced across from a FB back up @haoledave at least from what I have seen….hence why my gem/pearls counts are different on my iPad and phone even though it is the same synced game.

[Katydid]

After the third time I bumped one of the purchased chests I asked them that question. Their answer maybe in a future update. I’m not hold my breath!

[KLM13]

Not holding mine either, @katydid.

[Angry Beaver]

100 gems from Rovio as apologize for arena outage. This came just when i needed them for purchasing eagle spells. I had 298 gems, i just needed 2 more gems and all day i just got feathers and duck spells from chests. Just in time, thanks.

[kelshe]

I got the apology message but didn’t get the gems.

[angrynerds2]

Now one day later..That guy has 800 points, WTF – is he playing the whole day long?

[Psygaz]

@kelshe
Same as you; got the apology but no gems.

[Mighty Screamer-ingame]

Got the apology, but no gems…

At the end of last week, I was nursing a lead and was regularly going in and out of The Nest to try and refresh the leader board to me help decide if I should burn through a few tickets in the last hour. With 4 minutes to go, the leader board said I had a 55 star lead, so I exited out of the game, confident that 300 gems and 300 black pearls were sure to come my way. When I was able to get back in roughly an hour later, just before it could tell me the results, I noticed the lead had dwindled to 3 stars.

There is no way the player in second place could score 52 stars in 4 minutes, that would take at least 6 battles. Is there anything that could cause a delay in the leader board being updated, causing several matches to be added to a player’s score in a batch instead of one at a time?

[IamMinus]

Same here.Won the Diamond league tourney by 11 points but still having the connection error.

[“Rhsly”]

This is ridiculous to say the least, been trying to get in the arena now for 6+ hours. When will you ever fix this issue??
Every week it’s the same! But never this long. This issue should have been fixed by now!! By the time I get into arena I’ll be so far behind!
Also when playing the daily challenge it just throws me out, think I’m gonna stop spending money on this game.

[Swampbird]

11 hours and still counting. Entry retry error has been the norm. Losing tournaments to players that are hundreds of points ahead by the time I get back in. It has taken the fun out of the game. I love a good honest competition and game. But for the past 4 weeks that has not been happening.

Amsterdam CET and still not possible to load the game.

Hi guys, 1st time poster but I’ve been reading your comments for a few weeks. Been playing AB2 for a few months, I bet I’m one of those players Rovio are dying to get their claws into. My star rank is 57, I’m on level 706 in the game, all my birds are level 11 with a few on the cusp of 12, I’ve got a good stock of jewels, pearls and spells and I haven’t spent a penny/ dime on the game, and there’s no chance of me doing so. I’ve had my fair share of frustrations in the arena, but coming here and seeing other players having the same problems eased my suffering!

I haven’t been able to log in either, I’m in the UK.

[heatmisr]

It’s been 15 1/2 hours for me. This is ridiculous. If course I’m in first place. I want my rewards so I can buy another hat. Unfortunately, the arena is the only way to get enough pearls to buy the cowboy hats. I already know I won’t be winning this week’s tournament because I will never catch up to all the people that are already in and playing. Thanks Rovio for the built-in handicap.

Metro Atlanta. Still out.
