Arena Season 11

[datguygamer]

@poptimus This whole fiasco has resulted in me losing my sense of humor (whatever I had). I wish it didn’t come to this.

[DD]

@datguygamer
There is a certain logic to what you said and do, and I must confess that the thought did occur to me to suggest you do that. Not that I disagree or disapprove, and you certainly need no opinion from me, but does it help you or make you happy? While I’m sure that some here, myself included, will be thrilled at the chance of borrowing your mighty birds, and I’m also (very) curious as to the technical know-how on how you did it, I can’t help but feeling somewhat concern of your well being. I may be totally wrong here, so please don’t be mad and feel free to ignore me.

[Bubbley]

@datguygamer please look after yourself. A pause can sometimes help.

[datguygamer]

@bubbley It can but in this case in particular it won’t. Whenever I look at the game icon now, it fills me with bitterness. I have purposefully connected back to Facebook to get caught. I want to see what they can do to my account now as I have nothing left to lose.

@toolow No it does not make me happy. It does the exact opposite. I never cared about having the strongest birds as I could do that in an instant but I would have skipped getting the level tied items that the Golden Pig Machine may have given me. I only cared about collecting the small trinkets and items that the game would give me which nobody else would collect and instead scrap them. I would sometimes replace old items with better duplicate ones to all keep a 3 star rating with max enchantment. Whenever I scrolled through the inventory, I liked how my collection looked. The reason I stopped playing arena was to get all the Wood trophy (and I will bet 1000$ no other idiot out there except for me cared about the Wood trophies) after I got all the wheel exclusive items (which are also now gone). It was my goal to collect the trophies after I was done with the arena items. But on that day, in a minute, they took everything from me like it was nothing. They also had the audacity to say “Your profile has been wiped back to level 1. Doing this again will result in an account ban”. If my profile gets reset anyway, why should I care furthermore to play or even care that I get banned or not? Which numbskull out there would start over again? The only one I keep seeing continue after getting screwed over again and again is @smwforever45. I hope his mastery table would someday be complete but the way he keeps editing it after each time Rovio changes the amount shows his patience (which I don’t have).

Yes, I did this but not because I liked it in the end but out of sheer bitterness and spite. As for how I did this, the game doesn’t track your XP after each pig drops the stars. Only after the level ends. I just forced each pig to give me one billion+ level ups (I played a level with 2 pigs). That got me to the max level the game can ever reach.

The only one I keep seeing continue after getting screwed over again and again is @smwforever45.

Although I don’t have the biggest motivation to do so anymore. I used to be very enthusiastic about the game and that’s the time when I took over the Mastery topic. I spent plenty of time making tables about my progress on Mastery, dissecting levels and many other things concerning the game, I spent plenty of time on ABN, I spent plenty of time in the game. But my motivation has heavily decreased. Now it feels more like a force than a hobby as it used to be.

@datguygamer Is there any hidden feature of Enchantment Energy item? Or is it only equivalent of 10 pieces of SquareWood for the purposes of enchanting. Ok, we can use this item over and over again, but who cares if we can gather 10 pieces of SquareWood in few minutes :)

I told this to Rovio and asked them to add to Enchantment Energy at least one more special feature – for example it could give 1% (for every piece of Enchantment Energy) chance that the enchanted set item would be transformed to Ancient version or anything like that.

[KennyMcC]

@datguygamer I was planning to write to Rovio about your situation (reseting your account without any proof). But I am not sure if it has any sense right now :)? I think they would start talking about your funny numbers right now :D

[DD]

@kennymcc Then they get to see what cheating is really like, not that they care anyway.

[datguygamer]

@kennymcc I will list all the coded features the enchantment Energy was supposed to have during the concept stages. But I am also stating that this will be my last code related post here. I am not updating to version 2.1.1 when it comes. This will be the last version of Epic I will ever play. My birds will be there for anyone who wants to use them; I won’t. Anyways:

1. mystic_orb.get.currency=<pay>.frontstore_money
enchant_items.set.weapon=<stay>;
true=<stay.enchant>

Basically as an enchanting fuel like it is used now.

2. mystic_orb.get.currency=<pay>.frontstore_money
get<weapon><class.bird>_<item.set>
<mystic_orb>==use.item_money.forcurrency=true
use_item==mystic_orb<frontstore.true>
use_relic++<relic.use>
for<store.release.item>==items

As a currency for using on Ancient Relict which went unknown for whatever reason. Would have been good to be implemented as players would have had more of a reason to participate in the arena for these.

3. mystic_orb.get.currency=<pay>.frontstore_items.rule
get<weapon><class.bird>_<item.set>
<mystic_orb>==use.item_money.forcurrency=true
mystic_orb.get.currency=<pay>.frontstore_money
get<weapon><class.bird>_<item.set><item_enchant>
enchant_items==shard.rep
shard_money.item==<get.shardcoin>
use.itemset==enchant
<mystic_orb>==use.item_money.forcurrency=true
use_item==mystic_orb<frontstore.true>
for<store.release.item>==items
use_item==mystic_orb<frontstore.true>
for<store.release.item>==items

As an exclusive requirement for enchanting instead of Enchantment Shards.

4. Stub codes that say it was supposed to be used for exchanging Lucky Coins and other items but since first position awards Lucky Coins anyway nowadays, it was deemed useless. But it could have been still implemented for other items.

That’s about it. I don’t have the will to go on like this honestly. Even with such birds, the game won’t be fun the way I intended.

[KennyMcC]

@datguygamer
When I decide to write to Rovio about your situation, can I refer to your actual birds to show them how real cheating looks like as @toolow said?

[KennyMcC]

@datguygamer @toolow @pointless @bubbley @dallasreds
Anyone knows what happens when I hit 1.000.000 Snoutlings?

[datguygamer]

@kennymcc If you write to them, they will just reset/ban my account and that would be it. Maybe they will thank you for pointing out a player who has such high figures but other than that, I don’t see anything happening. Honestly, I am way past the point of caring. They are already aware of players having high XP levels as I am not the only one out there but since they took away the most important thing I cared about from me, I doubt anything they can do now will hurt me any further.

Also if you go over 1 Million Snoutlings, it will get reset soon. Not right then but sometime later once the system finds your ID with “unobtainable” amounts of currency.

[KennyMcC]

@datguygamer So when I go over 1 milion Snoutlings, my Snoutlings will be reset to zero in few days?
Do u know the cap for LCs, FEs, Shards and basic resources? 1 milion too?

[DD]

@kennymcc
Despite what I suggested earlier, it’s probably best that you don’t 1) as they’ll not take any positive actions, 2) so that all his friends can borrow the birds, and 3) you don’t show that you’re associated with us bad companies too explicitly.

When I got reset,
main account – 534 LC, 634k S$, 516 FEs, <3k ingredients, <17k resources, 600 shards
2nd account – 134 LC, 134k S$, 105 FEs, <1k ingredients, <5k? resources, <100 shards

Got <1k potions for main account as well. But really, I think it’s arbitrary. They’ll simply say it’s impossible, and that’s that. For my second account, they’re saying 134k S$ and 5 seasons of diamond league is impossible for L15. Well, I could have done that with L7. Oh, and I scored 110k in arena with my main account which is impossible; may be but I was actually at 41k. So yes, they either lie to their teeth or just got it wrong and couldn’t bring themselves to admitting it.

See my previous post.

[KennyMcC]

@toolow
OMG I didnt know :O It seems that Rovio team is some kind of very agressive sickness of the ABE system and it somehow attacks honest players which started to grow to strong or what.

I dont know what to do now :) I should start to consume my resources more to lower their amount or what :) Thats ridiculous, right :)?

So if u r too successful in this game, u r punished for that :D

[datguygamer]

@kennymcc The actual thresholds are higher than what @toolow had (I had way more than that all this time) but when they think one figure is “impossible” to reach, they automatically assume all other figures are as well.

[DD]

@kennymcc
I don’t know if I should congratulate myself for being the 2nd most successfully player behind the esteem @datguygamer on this forum. :) Naturally, the honour is questionable since I consider quite a few players here did significantly better than I can ever achieve. Still, who am I to deny myself a silver gong? So a B-I-G T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U to you, Rovio.

[datguygamer]

@toolow Now that I think about it, maybe we shouldn’t have mailed them asking for our trophies back. That’s what caused this. THEY somehow messed up but put the blame on us since we had “LOTS OF CURRENCIES OMG!!!!!”

[Maxx_Matt]

Their behaviour could be summarized like this: if you know the game so well you don’t need to put in and waste additional money, nor you can beat the game anytime anyhow anywhere WITHOUT getting bored of this supremacy and teach others to do the same, then, it is “like” you are cheating anyway.

to anyone in this situation,
when yiu have thousands, millions of resources… why don’t yiu stop playing or gathering them BEFORE being reset or blocked? three is ALWAYS a way to use any resources. You can simply waste them in some stupid way instead of being RESET, don’t you?

Sometimes, thinking from outside the gamer perspective let you see things are simpler than they appears…before It is too late.

think about this new ancient things. you can use/waste/abuse of anything through It, LCs, shards, snoutlings, kill weapons, make stupid weapons with the exceeding basic resources. waste potions that you are not using anymore…

how can they see you like a cheater?
Accumulate anything WITHOUT true reasons and maybe you LL bè reset for the same non sense.

what do you think?

MaxxMatt

[DD]

@datguygamer Perhaps. But sooner or later, they’ll break something, and we’ll have no choice but to get them to fix the problems. You know, this might be the reason honest player NEED to use 3rd party tools, and reduce the currencies and items for the duration of support editing the game state.

[datguygamer]

@toolow Yeah, I guess so.

[Pointless]

@maxxmatt so what you are suggesting is to stop playing if you have accumulated “too much”? What an arbitrary, slippery slope that presents, and one that should be counter to all IAP game ideology.

[Maxx_Matt]

stop playing is mandatory.
instead, you can concentrate in “use” resources instead of simply “accumulate” them, not the same.

MM

Actually, I think that I’m playing more than anyone here, because of a target: maximum mastery, maximum weapons . when achieved, I’ll slow down to a minimum, for sure.

I’m sure that my maintanance global play, when anything more could bè achieved, Will not bring me to 1000000 snoutlings for sure.
which is your porpouse, then?
kill the game Endless times?
beat the machine from a superior position, Endless times?
which game situation Will force you to sum il 1.000.000 snoutlings for a reason? events? no.
Arena? no.
mastery? no.
boredom? Yes.
which is the porpouse behind 1.000.000 snoutlings, related to the game, itself?

[Pointless]

For most, use and accumulation go hand in hand, emphasis on the latter, obviously. Not a reason to ban, as banking is an important part of these so called F2P games. If a developer puts too much emphasis on the “P”, then we have real problems. Just calling a spade a spade.

[Pointless]

@maxxmatt you are picking an erroneous example to prove your point. No one sets out to have 1M Snouts, it may be something that happens, but not at the forefront. Collection is, by nature, part of an RPG, or else we would all still only have and be happy with Knight/Mage/Cleric.
The issue lies with this punishment vis-a-vis “unobtainable” levels. What is this threshold, and more importantly, why is it there to begin with? You would think, rather than banning succesful players like @datguygamer and @toolow , Rovio would put them on a pedestal for us all to see:
“Look what you can have, look what you can accomplish, look at all these shiny objects!” (btw you can BUY these!)
