    The biggest cheater in the game is Rovio.

    They rip players off by putting prices up – arena tickets for one, players not getting correct rewards, changing rules with no explanation, selling the red pack and not delivering what was advertised, etc etc

    And then they lie to you saying there is a problem with your internet connection etc etc

    Sadly, it’s a brilliant game, that’s why I play it…..

    Hi Capt,

    Thanks for the reply. I haven’t been on here for months, look at all the new faces! While faces change, the problems don’t. Rovio never learn.

    I had a feeling Buster was a cheat when they jumped into first place on Sunday. I kept a close check on them and they just kept getting to top of league without ever playing! There were days where they never advanced their score and I thought I might sneak a first if they didn’t check the table on last day. I was taking a screen shot every few rounds and caught them red handed. Not sure why they even play because I reckon they only logged on 5 or 6 times in a week judging by the jumps in their score.

    The 217 stars in 35 minutes works out they obtained 6 stars every minute! That is impossible by playing normally.

    Might send the screenshots to Rovio, no doubt they make some excuse up for Buster – Max – Zoom.

    I did regularly see a Max and his photo was of someone with a beard. One week they had the star of shame, 1 star, and I do wonder if it’s them back with a new way of cheating but it’s irrelevant really.

    @aeshna

    This player is a CHEAT.

    They go by the name of Buster, but also Zoom and Max. Three name changes in a week doesn’t disguise a cheat.

    They jumped up over 800 points within an hour on Monday, no grinding away for this cheat.

    Since Tuesday they’ve only played twice, yes actually played, it’s amazing they know how to!

    If you come across this CHEAT, it’s pointless spending money trying to overtake them.

    With 45 minutes to go of the arena week I logged in to find myself yet again, in another different diamond league. Nothing new there then.

    Last week I only played a few times as I wanted to be relegated. I found myself in 14th place, so left the app open.

    When I refreshed this morning I have not been relegated.

    That is it for me.

    Many thanks to those who have helped me and contributed to this forum. Some good people have been sickened by Rovio’s fiddling and mismanagement over the months and given AB2 up as a waste of time and effort. I don’t consider myself a good player but I am sickened by Rovio and how they’ve killed this game.

    F*** **F Rovio, just F*** **F.

    @captsternn – I stand corrected. I never buy chests, and of course I am aware that feathers are part of the winning items. It honestly slipped my mind in my red mist rant.

    I don’t think feathers in chests are that common though and would love to know the ratio of spells to feathers. I would think, but again I am prepared to be corrected, that it would not cost thousands of pounds to get all birds to level 10 but tens of thousands. And even if you are ONLY spending a thousand pounds to play a game because you want to have the max. number of feathers available then you’d be better spending your money on a shrink, in my opinion, but hey, it’s your money. And it would seem to me hundreds of players are buying their way to max. feathers. Really, seriously?

    So either: there are many rich players around, there is massive credit card fraud or there is a hack which allows players unlimited gems which they then use to buy feathers.

    Me, I’m cynical, I’m going for the latter which still makes low level ranking players with level 10 birds cheats.


    @djangosmum
    – thanks. I’m frustrated at the way Rovio tinker with the game, treat players as cash cows, mislead us (red purchase) ignore questions that are tricky, do nothing to stop players leaving due to Rovio’s continuing failures but most of all I’m frustrated that a brilliant game like AB2 is being killed by those that created it. Or maybe not created but those responsible for managing it.

    @aeshna

    @dwhite40704 – thanks for that, I missed it.

    Seems reasonable to me then, 1,000’s of players spending thousands of £,$,€,¥ to catch up. Hahahahahahaha ahhhh hahahahaha.

    Now let’s think about this…. You can’t buy feathers, so you’d have to pay to play in the arena and go on long running streaks. Something that’s only been available three weeks. Before that feathers were harder to come by.

    I would state mathematically it is impossible to win all those games in the arena to accumulate all those feathers to have your birds all at level 10 while STILL maintaining a low star level rating. Impossible. And I’m mistaking them for cheating, lol. You are insulting my intelligence to suggest otherwise.

    Still if a Rovio employee says it’s the case then it must be so. Hahahahaha.

    Now ask yourselves why Rovio employees frequent this forum.

    They don’t have there own forum which is actually better for the players as the majority of comments on here would not be allowed on an official board, they’d be moderated out before published. Zynga community boards and EA for example.

    Rovio has a presence here, to help us may be one argument, and yes some times they do but many pleas for help get ignored, other questions are answered because it suits Rovio. Notice how the ‘why am I being bumped and jumped around from one league to another?’ is unanswered still.

    Feedback is no doubt import to Rovio, we on here are the vocal minority. We write on here because we care about the game, not because we are paid to be part of it.

    And while I’m not denying Bankler and Hank seem like decent people, I don’t know them, I can’t pass judgement, but I can say they work for Rovio and the company comes first. Proof of this was feather farming on level 9 and 13. I didn’t stop it. Who did? How did Rovio find out about it? And another example is quiting arena matches to find a fairer opponent.
    These worked to our advantage not Rovio’s.

    And while I’m on, I believe another Rovio employee who used to post on here was told to stop. Strange how he appeared, tried to help, then disappeared again. Not part of the official company face, not acceptable to be on the forum. Don’t do it. I might be wrong, might be right!

    We are the unofficial play testers, and our experiences are sometimes used to help us, sometimes used against us but whatever, never be fooled into thinking that Rovio are our friends. We are customers, we are here to pay, their object is to make as much many as they can from us. Buyer beware.

    I don’t mind paying to play and was a VIP subscriber with Mafia Wars (£19.99 per month) but as I’d spend to play anyway snd it was actually a cheaper option with the bonuses. Rovio do not offer anything like that, the Red offer turned out to be a lie, and was mis-sold. Players did not get the full package as advertised. It is cheaper on AB2 to buy 80 gems at a time (5x) than 400! in one go. Who does the maths at Rovio?

    And while I’m ranting, the continual tweeking of the game is a disgrace, I’ve never known anything like it. Sometimes daily, certainly weekly, tweek, alter, mess it up, re-tweek. Proof we are the unofficial unpaid play testers, the bug where you have more points than an opponent but you loose. How has that crept into the game? Who does the maths at Rovio?

    I’ve played video games since Atari Console 2600? That’ll give you oldies some idea that I’m in your club, then Acorn Electron, BBC B, Amiga 500, then first PC 486-DX33 with an amazingly large hard drive of 245mb, that’s MB not gb. I’ve played games years, on different formats.

    I know when I’m been taken for an idiot, lied to and ripped-off.

    More fool you Rovio.

    If this post upsets some people, I don’t care, I don’t care to be lied to and exploited. I’m not bothered about being relegated this week, it’s quite ironic seeing as how I played my way up the leagues, trying hard.

    I just don’t f****** care but I won’t meekly stop playing. I’ll keep sticking the verbal knife in.

    @aeshna

    And still no explanation regrading level 7 players with all level 10 bird cards.

    I’ll ask again, is that even possible?

    Nice to Rovio admit that they thought the winning streak in the areana was too easy so they tweaked the game. Something did change last week.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Proof of manipulation, either by a cheat or a Rovio bot account.

    Care to explain how a level 7 can have all level 10 birds @hank
    Is it even possible?

    Bird for bird I beat them, then they had another 4 cards to play, even after being manipulated, no sorry, kindly offered the opportunity of a free bird, that isn’t really free as I’ve to watch a video to receive it, I still lost.

    Can you explain why players can be in different leagues every time the log on as well ? @hank

    The game stinks.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Major flaw of unequal opponents is still there. Took 10 log-ins to find an opponent who was playing no spell cards.

    Average is now 15 log-ins to 1 opponent not playing spell cards.

    Smells, no sorry, it stinks of forcing players to buy cards just to play on level terms.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    It has taken a while for the penny to drop but Rovio is the biggest cheater in this game.

    Epiphany Aeshna.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    There is currently a major flaw in the game.

    It has just taken me 20, yes exactly 20 log-ins to find an opponent in the arena who is playing no spell cards.

    Surely this can not be by design Rovio? @hank

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Same outcome – crash, different player.

    @aeshna

    @cognitive – Last few days of the previous weeks arena I found exactly the same, majority of wins were 5 star and a couple 6 star.
    Also every player was playing spell cards and a lot were low level ranking but all had level 10 birds.

    I’m giving AB2 a rest this week, hopefully I’ll be relegated. Normally by this time I’d have played at least 14 games. I’ve played 2 games. I just don’t care anymore.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    New league today – Oner and Terence 59023 both have 1 point.
    Official labelled cheaters. Well done Rovio.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Anyone less than 422 stars will be relegated out of the diamond league I’m in this week!

    That is hard core, because I’ve won 8 diamond leagues with less than 422.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Been in the arena for the last two hours and I would say that Rovio have yet again made it virtually unplayable and I’ve just loaded up a dozen times in a row and every opponent has been playing 3 to 5 spell cards.

    Last week I thought the arena was too easy, obviously Rovio felt the same and have made it so 500 feathers are winnable only by spending.

    This company NEVER gets the balance right and have now destroyed my main interest in AB2. The DC is pointless and varies too much, the levels are ok but it is the arena I spend my time.

    Last week was enjoyable even though I was spending to play, this week you can stick it. I have never been so close to deleting the game as I am right now.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Great question @dwhite40704.

    And another observation: while there seems to be increased paranoia on this forum, from my point of view one of the features of the update was to make more opponents playing spell cards as opposition. Last week out of a run of 7 wins, two players would play spell cards, now I am up against four players who use spell cards. The level of opposition was usually equal to mine level 70+, now anything goes and there are a lot more ‘low level players’ such as level 9, 15 etc.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    80 points an hour is possible, not easy but it can be done and 100 points in three hours is very possible.

    The league I’m in 350 points is tenth place. The top 3 all have over 900.

    Edit: I went into the arena after posting the above and in 30 mins scored 40 points. Hard to keep the pace up and you’re putting pressure on yourself. I’d rather take my time before flinging.

    @jeffro12

    Raven Birdson is pleased to hear that!

    You are not in Raven Birdsons league. They can not see you.

    A player may populate several leagues at the same time but only see themselves in one league.
    It may be the perceived swapping of leagues is only the player seeing themselves in one of those leagues. A player may think they are being bounced around leagues but they actually are not!

    Mohammed is the nearest to Raven Birdson in their league. Raven Birdson has spent the last two hours increasing his lead over Mohammed. Mohammed is now 200 stars behind Raven Birdson.

    Raven Birdson has played you twice today, won one, lost one.

    Interestingly Raven Birdson has played Jet Thunders three times today. Twice Jet played no spell cards, the third time they did!

    At no point since the new arena week began has Raven Birdson played Mohammed.

    Raven Birdson played against a level 149 player today!

    Raven Birdson plays AB2 on a standard Iphone5 with no modifications. They don’t have any hacks, cracks or cheat programmes on their phone. There’s no scripts running on their phone. They spent money to accumulate as many feathers as they could last week, spending cash on 5 days out of 7. Raven Birdson spent the 300 gems on 11 arena tickets.

    Last week Raven Birdson won their league in AB friends. Raven Birdson spends hours on AB2 every day.

    Raven Birdson says, have a great day and good flinging.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    @jeffro12 – why will you be keeping a close eye on Raven Birdson?

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    @jeffro12 why should Raven Birdson be sent packing?

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    like so many others before him, Capts. input will be missed on this forum and AB2 is poorer for the loss of another flinger.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Unending play, wow! Will try that later Capt. It’s probably how Mohammed is top of my league with over 300. I’ve been watching his climb when I log on for free chests and he’s grinding away, slowly but consistently. I’m collecting arena entries now, have over 2,000 Terrence feathers amassed so saving cards for birds that haven’t as many.

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    When the arena weeks changed it was possible to try and reconnect and be awarded another medal if you had won one that week. Several attempts led to several medals. Rovio were informed about this so it looks like they take the servers off line while they update.

    Regarding a better award than your league finishing position shows maybe down to the fact we are in several leagues but should only see one. Obviously this doesn’t happen as players get bounced or appear to be bounced around but are probably just seeing other leagues and maybe the rewards are from an alternate league where you did finish 5th ?

    Aeshna
    @aeshna

    Bankler has said you can be in several leagues. I guess we aren’t actually getting bounced but just seeing alternate leagues we exist in, when we log on.

    I’ll be playing again soon but maximum I can achieve is 70. So you need to get 70 more than my current score. Thanks for being prepared to go easy so I could win gems but go for your stars :)

    Think I can remember playing a Blast Sparrow today. All elder bronze and level 43, 46?

    And yes, that’s me, and stats. look correct. I have 13 bronze due to medal screw up, only 1 of the bronze is legit.
