Candyman1331@alex-jenkinsI have to say, I’ve gotten pretty decent at finding little things to help me succeed at the Arena better, but holy cow I have questions.
Like, last night I go to bed in 1st, up about 30 points on the 2nd place person. I wake up to find myself in 5th, nearly 100 points behind 4th place! What is this? Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty going on and haven’t lost a match in about 3 months, but I must be missing something because to get 178 points in just 7 hours? What kind of life are these people leading?

cognitive@cognitiveBack in the days of real spells it was not difficult to score – for me at least – 80-90 points per hour. 5-6 min per match, 10 matches in an hour. 200 points in an evening? I’ve done well over 300.
Now that spells are neutered, double the estimate. 200 pts would be a solid 4+ hour effort.
As to whether people have lives… that was why I said the worst thing Rovio did was tickets.
Think what it takes to accumulate pearls for all hat sets… even with DC and KPC… and how many people got those immediately…
Rowdypup@rowdypup@alex-jenkins believe it or not, a night-owl like me has seen a whole different world of Angry Birds when the sun goes down. The leaderboard activity may die down, but Rovio puts people to the test by pressuring them to play for rewards that you know you won’t unlock. AB Transformers, for example, pressures you to stay up all night to earn points and wake up late so everyone can kick your butt
Chucky@chucky-2* Prior to level 1 spell bug, 100 to 120 points an hour was easy.
* During the level 1 spell bug, 80-100 points an hour is easy.So really in 7 hours, around 600-750 is quite easy to achieve, as long as you are prepared to grind the game and put in that sort of time (and of course have the tickets to support it).
cognitive@cognitiveChucky, 80 points an hour is still average of 8 per round for 10 rounds per hour. With the advent of, how to put it mildly, creative resource acquisition schemes, there’s a lot of people out there that are competitive at any level. My flock is around 29 strength overall, maybe 30, and I may score a few 8’s in an hour playing similar level people but not 8-9 every game consistently for an hour. Not with spells at 1.
I would expect the upper levels are no different. 80-100 is doable, definitely not easy, definitely not consistent for most players. It’s more of an indication of the level of manipulation by Rovio than individual skills.
Chucky@chucky-2Cognitive, Last hour I scored 95 (I maybe went over by 2 mins, so 62 mins for a score of 95) and previous to the update I was scoring 100-120…..so as per my post above 80-100 an hour is quite doable even with the spell bug.
If you average 5 mins per game, and only taking in Max 3 spells (but usually less sometimes none) you can get in 12 games an hour…..95/12 = 7.9 per game…..I get mostly 8’s or 9’s, with the occasional 10, and also the occasional 5 or 6.
cognitive@cognitiveIt is doable if you’re @ level 35… But if you’re at lower levels (even 30) trying to advance higher, it is not quite as easy.
Since the spell bug it is rare that the guy who wins the arena weekly puts up more than a thousand points a week, 1200 best. Prior to the spell bug, 1200 would be good enough for very little.
I’m glad I leveled up heavily before the bug, because I am nowhere near at the same level of participation as I was before. And from what we read here that is common. I hope the bug is fixed, but as I wrote earlier, the gap between top players and competent, but merely good players like myself isn’t closing any time soon.
Chucky@chucky-2I can’t agree Cognitive, but being I am not a low level player I can’t prove my point.
If anything I would think a lower level player would have it easier, being they are not affected by the level 1 spell bug.
cognitive@cognitiveWe will agree to disagree :).
Chucky@chucky-2Hehe we seem to be doing that a bit lately :P
In other news, the RED update that iOS received late last week should expire in roughly 12 hours (i.e. The new set of hats and spell will vanish), so maybe just maybe in about 12 hours a new update for both Android and iOS will be released that will fix the level 1 spell bug/and return coins to the treasure chest.
If the update doesn’t happen tonight, I hope it is not longer than a week away, but fingers crossed they update tonight/this week.
EDIT iOS just got another update that removes the RED update, yet no update for Android, so I am guessing all this mini update did was remove the RED update :(
Now to wait for the update for android and iOS that will fix level 1 spell bug, return Gems to chests, and hopefully other fixes.
