    It’s the little things that make a big difference and this game keeps removing or losing the little things that kept us playing. Adding 20 levels every two weeks doesn’t introduce anything new, it’s just more of the same. You used to get a nice reward every 5 increases in star rank. Now those are gone too. You used to get red gifts or treasures every once in a while. Those are gone.

    It’s ok. I’ve got other games to play. ?

    Instead of being demoted, I got promoted to Diamond league! I wasn’t in the top three. Now the matches are even worse. I guess I’ll be sitting out another week.

    In my game, my birds still get feathers in the Arena, but it skips Matilda! It will sequentially go through each bird, giving them my star rank + 10, but it skips Matilda. She was stuck at level 4 while all my other birds are level 5. I finally got Matilda upgraded in the WWF challenge. It’s really annoying. I should submit a ticket, but Rovio will probably just tell me it’s random.

    I’ve noticed it’s gotten worse since the update. I used to be matched up pretty good, but now I’m getting all level 6’s while I have level 4 and 5 birds. I stopped playing until I either got demoted or just a different league to play in. It seems a bit better this week. We’ll see how it goes.

    The ones that I get a chuckle out of are when you launch a spell. If it’s ME, they’ll say “Oh nooo” in chorus. If it’s the hot chili, one pig will say “Uh oh”. The best part is they aren’t laughing anymore. :D

    Some of us are old-timers like you, but we don’t like the recent changes to Angry Birds’ games, including this one. They have become too commercial and forced. I don’t like the constant pressure to spend real money. I would happily buy the game to begin with and not have any ads. Unfortunately that doesn’t make enough money for game developers. In-app purchases have become the norm. Rovio just hasn’t gotten the balance right yet and we’re frustrated with the changes.

    AB 2 is too repetitive though. I’ve gotten bored with it and rarely play anymore. *shrug* Not sure what to suggest in that regard.

    Since it’s free to play, you could give it a try. It’s interesting at first, but gets very monotonous. There are a lot of ads and there’s a lot of pressure to spend real money. My number one recommendation: do not spend any real money on this. If you have a Facebook gaming account, use that to make friends and exchange gifts. That will give you enough gems to get by. Don’t spend gems to extend playtime in levels, or even the arena. After level 400, the levels get so hard you’ll need gems to extend the play to complete them.

    I have found the new arena to be unfair too. I have one level 4 and the rest of my birds are level 5, but I’ve been matched against players with level 5 and 6 birds. I don’t even bother playing. I like the other changes to deter people from buying extra plays. Unfortunately I find AB 2 to be a drag to play in general. *sigh*

    They’ve changed the arena again with the new update. Now you can pay gems to extend a match. You also get tickets and you have to pay for more tickets. I only played once since I want to be demoted, so I don’t know how the ticket system works.

    I’m back too. I live in Canada. Arena has a new look. Now you can pay gems to extend matches. I don’t think I’ll be playing anymore.

    Haha, thanks @circlerev, I figured it was probably pretty straightforward, I just kept forgetting to look for it. :P

    Unfortunately my iPad applies updates automatically. I’ll have to figure out how to disable that. Anyway the new version just crashes. I can’t open it. I’m running the latest iOS.

    Well as I said in another thread, I’ve gotten tired of AB (any AB, not just AB 2) for now, so I’m not playing much. If there are other leagues, I should be demoted. It will be interesting to see which league I get demoted to.

    AndalayBay
    @andalaybay

    One of the few things that I don’t have to complain about is the opponent selection for me in the arena. I did jump from the fourth league (whatever it’s called) to diamond, but my opponents have been well matched to me. I even got an opponent who had the exact same bird set as me. Not only did he have six level 5 birds and one level 4 bird, but his level 4 bird was Matilda, just like me.

    It sounds like some people get placed in the wrong diamond league for some reason. I don’t feel like playing much anymore, so I’m going to be demoted. It will be interesting to see which league I get demoted to, since I shouldn’t be in diamond to start with.

    Actually I somehow got two cards when I was playing level 9. I had gone back to level 9 to see if I could find a friend gift. I filled the destruction meter and got an extra card, as expected. However it then gave me a second extra card! I had eight cards and there was no golden pig. So there might be another game glitch that’s awarding extra cards. I just wish it would kick in when I was doing one of those six room levels.

    I haven’t seen this Starburst promo thing at all, but I haven’t been getting videos either. I’ve gotten a couple, so they haven’t stopped completely, but I also had an arena match and a regular level where I didn’t get the opportunity to watch a video.

    @andalaybay

    I have had some plays where I don’t get the video, but they haven’t ended for me completely yet.

    There is a glitch that will give you more medals than what you’ve really earned. I just got promoted to diamond league. I should have been promoted to a lower level league, but I’m not sure which one. Perhaps Rovio isn’t bothering with the other leagues anymore, since it really doesn’t matter?

    @clovos, level 406, boss room. Slingshot way too close to edge. All my shots have misfired. Also see my report above.

    @andalaybay

    The player level doesn’t matter. The only thing the stars do is to give you more feathers in the arena. It’s the bird level that matters and the arena matches that up fairly well.

    @andalaybay

    I’ve seen that card glitch that others have been complaining about. You’re way ahead, your opponent is grayed out and suddenly he gets a bunch of cards and defeats you. I’ve also had the same thing happen, but was far enough ahead that I won anyway. If he’s grayed out already, then why is he getting a bunch of extra cards? I find this affects my bird selection as well. I think I’m ahead, so I will pick “weaker” birds that will still clear the level, saving others in case I get tough towers. I’m not far enough along with the destruction meter to get another bird.

    The increased cost for continues started with the update previous to the latest. I’ve been dumb enough to purchase two continues when I had a red gift that I was going to lose. It’s never worked – I lose the gift anyway. If I have enough gems, I might buy one continue, but never more than one now.

    And now that there are no more red gifts, I’m even less likely to buy a continue. Just another reason to dislike this game.

    How is Blizzard a beneficial spell? All the others can be used on their own, but Blizzard just does the job of the Chemist Pig, with more reliable results. As pointed out already, Blizzard is just a set-up card for Blues. Please remove it and give us something useful.

    @andalaybay

    Mine are 24 hrs as well. And I haven’t seen a single red gift or treasure anywhere since the update. I have been completing new levels, but nothing but blue gifts. This sucks. :P

    @mvnla2, I never use spells. I know for sure I got a spell card as the extra card after watching a video to improve my score. I think I got one when I had other birds, but I can’t say for sure.
