Yep, I’m rarely making it to the boss pig anymore unless it is 2-2-3 or less. Today I had to use every single bird to clear room 1 on round 3. The only bird which could destroy the structures was Bomb due to everything being stone. The pigs would become so buried that even Terrance couldn’t reach them.

I’ve always said I will quit if I earn less than 1250 coins in the MEBC. I think this will probably be it for me in 38 days. Between the DC/KPP being all but unplayable, I’m barely earning 20 points a day in the MEBC. I’ve noticed scores for all the top people have gone up big time, even without a hat adventure, so this is depressing the scores of everyone doesn’t pay lots of $$$.

Had a KPP today where I made it to the final room. Never seen it before, but looked to be a simple room. Clear out the junk, drop the pig into the water, and hit him from below with Stella, Terrance, and even Red and Chuck could do it. Used one of those continues you buy during the hat events figuring that it would be no problem since I had already cleared out everything. Missed with Gray (used her to verify the correct aim), and Red didn’t move the pig enough. Slammed the boss with Terrance and off he went. Disappeared to the right and down off the screen. Game just sat there for about 20 seconds and then ended with it as a failure. Wasn’t going to spend gems to see if I could locate the pig.

Almost threw the phone across the room.

[AggieGuy]

Haven’t even beaten the DC in almost a week. Either an immortal pig with insane amount of health, or one which requires specific birds and/or trick shots to drop the pig down a hole. Of course, the previous rooms suck up those specific birds.
I don’t even bother trying more than once anymore. Just no longer worth the time or effort.

[AggieGuy]

Yeah, I’m not playing much anymore. They took the fun out a long time ago. Almost didn’t reinstall it when my phone decided to commit suicide and die. I swear, the Pixel 4 is the biggest piece of junk I’ve ever seen. Third time I’ve had to replace the Pixel 4 since it replaced my S7.

Anyway, I did play today had the same KPP. Round 1 is easy. The boss pig is not very strong; just have to beat him to death with birds and/or debris.

The easiest way to beat round 2 is a trick shot with Silver. Get the pig into the flower where he is going up and down. Launch Silver and have her loop, striking the boss and sending him to the left. You can also send Stella into the Flower, and when it sends her up, try to bubble the pig. He might float off to the left, or might go high enough to simply die.

Never made it to the final boss. Round 3 was the inevitable bird sucker. The rare time I even beat the DC, the KPP is a 1 and done attempt. Haven’t beaten it in eons.

I don’t mind a challenge, but I find the fact that they made it so people have to pay to win most of the time to be offensive.

[AggieGuy]

There are so many rooms/levels now which are designed for no other reason than to force you to use gems to get past. Then there are the boss rooms which 100% require gems, usually because a minimum number of birds are needed, and the preceding rooms will never allow you to get there, or it requires a very specific bird, which you’ll be forced to use earlier or else you’d never clear a room.

I pretty much beat the DC about once every 7-10 days. Usually don’t even make it to the boss, and when I do, it is a rigged room which either cannot be beat without 4-5 continues (blocked exit requiring beating the pig to death), or one where 1-2 continues are requires because you just can’t get there with enough birds. My rule is I try the DC once, and if I don’t beat it, I don’t try again. The only exception is if I just royally screw up and know I can beat it on a second try.

I don’t even mind spending gems on occasion to beat the DC or KPP; if it is just once and a while and because the pig just didn’t happen to roll far enough, or I missed the shot with my last bird. I refuse to spend gems just for the chance to reach the boss room, or hoping I get just the right birds to beat it.

The KPP is an exercise in futility. I have beat it exactly once in 2021 Of course, I rarely even get a chance to try it.

Very good chance I will give up on the game for good soon. My red line is failing to get at least 1250 coins at the end of the MEBC. 1250 has been what I’ve earned at the end of each cycle since pretty much the MEBC was added. This last one I barely made it. If it had been 1 day shorter, I wouldn’t have. Given I can’t get the extra birds most of the time, and the pay-for-play morons are never affected by the nerfing of the game, my daily score has dropped from an average of 32, to the low 20s.

[AggieGuy]

Let’s just complain and discuss the game and leave politics out of it. I think most people have had their fill and would prefer escaping it for a little while.

[AggieGuy]

I’m convinced the KPP was changed to ensure it cannot be beat without gems. Haven’t beat it in weeks, but not that I’ve had the opportunity much since the DC is not much better. Rarely get past round 1, and only once got past round 2. Even though the bosses are often quite beatable if you have birds, the rooms are designed to ensure you do not, especially on round 2. The one time I made it to round 3 and to the boss, it was one which required beating the boss to death, and requires multiple continues to do it.

[AggieGuy]

Today’s DC, at least for me, is another pile of crap. Haven’t won it in so long I’m down to 2-2-3. Rounds 1 and 2 are no problem. Round three is hideous. The two rooms before the boss simply suck birds. You’re forced to use Bomb, Terrence, and Matilda at a minimum, but only if every single micro pig dies. If one or more do not, you will have to use 1-3 more birds. Twice I just had to quit because the pig was simply not reachable by any bird. Room two takes 3 birds again, minimum, and the game gives you all of your heavy hitters again before getting to the useless birds (for this level, they’re useless) like Blues, Red, and Chuck.

The boss is actually fairly easy, if you have any birds which do real damage and can dislodge him from his perch. But since all of the heavy hitters have been spent on the first two rooms, you’re left with useless birds which can’t even get him down, much less do any real damage.

This really is no fun anymore.

[AggieGuy]

So sick and tired of these unbeatable KPP rounds.

[AggieGuy]

Haven’t played the arena in ages once it because obvious that the only way to win was to pay.

What I’m quickly getting tired of is the insane difficulty of the DC, KPP, and MEBC. Haven’t beat the DC except once (today) in the past week. Most boss rounds in the DC, if I can even get there, are blocked exists where the only option is to beat the nearly immortal pig to death.

And the MEBC has reached a point where I am barely able anymore to score my usual 32 points. Most days I am now in the mid-20s despite having my highest scores ever. I’ve already decided if I don’t get at least my usual 1250 coins at the end, then I’m done with the game.

[AggieGuy]

Today’s KPP was simply a pain in the butt. Rounds 1 requires the usual trick shot to win. Not that hard, just annoying because it requires everything to go perfect or the pig gets stuck in a loop. Round 2 is actually easy.

But Round 3 is a killer. The second room is a bird sucker. 12 attempts and I never got past it because one pig always ends up buried in the far right structure and only Matilda can get him, maybe. Silver should, but all that happens is debris flies off when I slam her down, but the pig just sits there.

[AggieGuy]

Who know, lol.

That said, it’s an easy one.

Now if they’d fix the problem with the videos.

[AggieGuy]

I’ve noticed that scores have gone through the roof lately for the top tier (paying) players, even without a running hat adventure. Normally I get at least 32 points every day assuming a good run. Now I’m lucky to get that on a near record run and barely get out of the 20s on an average run.

Yesterday was my best score, over 100M, and all I got out of it was 32 points, and came in dead last in my group. The leader was over 300M (I smell either cheating or gross manipulation) but #2 was only at 175M. Same for today; the leader is the same guy and miles ahead of everyone else.

[AggieGuy]

Apple, pig, video, pig, quit.

[AggieGuy]

Gems, pig, paid gems, apple, pig, video, quit.

[AggieGuy]

And again, apple, pig, quit.

I guess for whatever reason, this will be another hat set where I will get zero hats. Third one like that.

[AggieGuy]

Well, still can’t get past the pig on floor 2. Totally forgot I had a few regular TOF tickets so tired all of those. Free entry plus all of the tickets, pig on floor 2.

[AggieGuy]

Haven’t beaten the DC in the last 5 days.

Heck, only made it to the final room once, and that was 5 days ago when I could have gotten the Legendary chest if I finished it, but that ended up being 4-5-6 and I had to buy birds on room 4 because it was a bird sucking round and made it to the final room with 0 birds and didn’t continue.

Even with not winning for 5 days in a row, I’m still getting hideous rounds where I run out of birds by the third room.

Kind of figures because if I could get those extra birds for the MEBC, I could make it to the next level before it ends. No way I’ll make it without.

I guess it will drop back to 2-3-4 or whatever it does before the game goes into mercy mode and doesn’t give me crap.

[AggieGuy]

Beat all of it in about an hour. Round 4 was the only real pain.

[AggieGuy]

That room is a pain, but it is beatable.

Like you said, clear all the junk out of the way first.

Then, make sure the pig is in the middle water. I found Terrance worked best for launching him off to the right, but it is a crap shoot. Half my attempts didn’t work.

Round 2 wasn’t bad, but like I posted late last night, round 3 is a blocked exist and overly tough boss.

[AggieGuy]

Yep, I’ve noticed that too. Always get a duck, inflator, blizzard, and sometimes a chili.

[AggieGuy]

Today’s KPP has a blocked exit for round 3 and no way to beat the pig to death.

[AggieGuy]

Actually, the boss on the DC can be floated off to the right. First clear all the structures including the umbrella and then use Stella. It takes perfect timing and angle, but it does work. On occasional, the pig lands on the ledge and just sits there. Chuck is the only way to know him off.

I had the same one but could never get past the second boss in the KPP. Way too many rooms lately I’ve never seen before and I don’t have all day to try over and over and over again until I beat them.

[AggieGuy]

The last update seems to have put it back to normal. Since I’m back to every DC being unbeatable, we’ll see if it drops from 4-4-5 tommorow.

[AggieGuy]

@dearg-mor

You’re right, it’s hasn’t.

Seems like they broke the DC.
