Increased panel rate = joke

[Nick Speranza]

I love how when you have a part (especially gold level) and it says increases birds panel rate appearance, for some if not most fights it doesn’t do its job. Still getting single matches in corners throughout entire match or keep getting matches, but none are the bird you’re using. Way to go Rovio.

Anyone else get this issue…?

Are you joking? I have the Christmas Glasses for Matilda which has a gold panel boost on it. Lets just say that my opponents never stand a chance. And I’m bad at match-3 games!

Bottom line is that this item is overpowered. Not underpowered.

Yes, after update is sucks, write to support.
I was report it

No difference? It’s a killer item!!! I have now 3 birds with this skill and they are mostly unbeatable since then.
Also remember it’s still random, so if you have bad luck you can still end up without any of that panel ^.^

I have to agree with the OP. Last couple of weeks the appearance rate appears to be very hit and miss.

Had several cases recently where I’m using gold appearance vs an opponent with same bird and no appearance item. I’m getting next to no appearance of my bird while my opponent is spamming specials every other second.

Why no, I would not be joking. I guess you’re one of the more lucky players who hasn’t had that experience yet. So I guess cherish that while you still can.

@nick-speranza Sorry to hear that. I just can’t imagine it being different for some people. Sure is weird.

Mine is another one, instead of Red panel increase which icon said, actually it gives me random bird panel increase :P.

I almost always use Red with either rockstar glasses or golden hourglass (both ss) and agree with you.

Sometimes it does seem to increase the panel rate and sometimes it doesn’t seem to work. I noticed especially when trying to use these items in the lab it almost never works, I hardly can get any match-4s when even using rock star glasses in the lab.

As some people are seeing the difference and some people are not [I am seeing it intermittently] it seems to be a psuedo-random issue that is popping up – more often in the past few days than previously,

I was also curious about the % based on item ranking. It seems SS items are supposed to be a 12%, S items an 8% and A ranked items a 5% increase. I have the Boom Box Radio Cassette Player for bomb which is an ‘S’ ranked item but only shows that it is increasing 5% [it often doesn’t do anything]. If it is an ‘S’ ranked item, shouldn’t it be displaying that it has an 8% increase?

Ships panel rates not works much for me.
Bird panels mostly work well (sometimes not)

i think bird panel items works better than ship panels
