@zhugeliang They can very frustrating, that’s true. If you’d like some strategy advice, feel free to ask.

[angryde]

@zhugeliang I have been playing the game since its launch date and I’ve never, ever needed ANY of the LC purchasable classes. So, I’d save for the golden chili and then focus on acquiring level-maxed weapon sets. Plus you don’t need good gear to win in the arena; there are other strategies… XD

[angryde]

@sutekh137 Oh, and to answer your question… I play arena out of habit and compulsion. “Enjoyment” stopped being a factor a long, long time ago. XD. IMHO the only “reasonable” way to get to diamond is via a combination of tactical manipulation(s) + good old fashioned grinding. Fun-O!

Ed. Oh, yeah, I’ve never spent a single LC in the arena. AND you DO NOT need good “arena gear”… quite the opposite, in fact. ;)

[angryde]

@bubbley I’m sure you’re off having a life now ;) but I’ve been having a break… and just read your farewell post. Thanks for all your contributions over the year; you’ll be sorely missed. Fare the well!

[angryde]

@sutekh137 Lol, thanks for that post, made me laugh! XD

[angryde]

@toolow I threw in the towel last week re: arena. The tank is empty. I also made ZERO effort during the birthday event. I appear to no longer care.

[angryde]

@bubbley Saddened to read about your AB fatigue… but 100% in agreement with you. I’m still going through the motions… but my heart isn’t in it. With all the injustices of late, ill-advised, money-grubbing changes and lack of  original content… I’m pretty much spent. Hence, my lack of frequent contributions here. Sigh. Such a shame.

[angryde]

@suzyq It was a slog, I can tell you. And not a single cent of RW$ spent. THAT is the greater achievement! ROFL. :-P

[angryde]

@maxxmatt Soooooooo jealous. I have a complete set of 80/82/E:10 on/off hand epics for each bird… but no matching ancients. I WANT! :-P

[angryde]

@pointless Just read. Gob-smacked!

[angryde]

@smwforever45 Same result for me on the 2nd spin… but I consider getting 2* a big, big win! XD

[angryde]

@budstheawesome Hey, dude! Cool that we’re sharing a board! :-D Good luck, eh, I’m trying to capitalize on the arena mayhem, extra points, blah blah.

[angryde]

@metztli013 Well, I got demoted to wood. After having my soul crushed last week… I missed-out on advancing to metal by 100 trophies… all the fight’s gone. :-(

[angryde]

@suzy Urgh… not only did I NOT get what I wanted… I also lost 60LCs re-rolling. Due to some sort of bug, everything got messed up because my Wiz happened to level up during PRECISELY the same battle within which I crossed the 10,000 trophy mark. So, lots of graphical + functional bugs later… I lost 60 LCs and received a random elite class… so annoying. I submitted a ticket so let’s see what happens. :-/

[angryde]

@suzyq Oh God, I hope that happens to me! I want wizard or spies so badly… :-D Congrats!

[angryde]

@burbman Yeah, I’m getting a buggy… “repairing clock + graphic’ here. Unusually short repair times… like, one minute… that then perpetually reset. Odd.

[angryde]

@cosmicdebris Oh, this news has cheered me up a little… congrats!

[angryde]

@cosmicdebris I’m so sorry… God, this is all so depressing… :-(

[angryde]

@toolow My God! I’ve been busy + away from the forums blah blah and just read about your situation. I am as outraged as @bubbley and @pointless. Honestly, with all that’s gone on re: you and @datguygamer I’ve completely lost my passion for this game… I have very little will or motivation ATM. To echo @smwforever45 I’m very glad I never spent a single cent of RW$ on this game… could this be a case of outrageous noobishness on the part of Rovio’s (new) CS staff..!? Someone else mentioned that they hadn’t seen the old names around..?

[angryde]

@dallasreds @pointless – I know, right, lads..!!?? I usually save my LCs for the L-cap increase so I can spin-up a full suite of max- epic sets ASAP (during the 1st RR, in any case). So, yeah, I’d saved 2465 LCs and was prepared to burn through 600 or so. It takes me under my ideal 2000 LCs in the bank… which freaks me out bigtime XD … but I’ll soon save my way back!

[angryde]

Well, I bit the bullet and fed 3x L:72 epic pieces into the ‘Relict Mech.’ Received a standard L:82 epic piece back… and spun again (ouch! Bye LCs!). Received a ‘Relict Piece’ – L:82 ‘Forest Flute.’ Yawn. It’s the one set I’ve NEVER, EVER used… and, or course, I don’t have ‘Forest Bounty’ (at ANY level). You’ve gotta laugh! :-D

[angryde]

@bubbley I wouldn’t know about the efficacy of Mythic Comeback, Bubs, as I’ve never used it… isn’t that dreadful..!!??!! I’ve also got three complete L82 e-banner sets that I’ve yet to equip. ROFL. I’m still going with good-old UPUD. Very much a case of, if the strategy ain’t broke then don’t fix it!! :-D

[angryde]

@toolow I feel your pain. My 5xRR did not go as well as I’d hoped. And I spent a hell of a lot more LCs than you did… sigh. We’re such suckers…. :-/

[angryde]

@bubbley

Damn, that’s dreadful luck, Bubs. Sorry. :-( My 5xRR worked but the % was utterly dreadful… only 14.8% However, I no longer care as much as I once did: which, I guess, is a good thing! :-D

I performed 25x 10x multi spins… for 250 single spins. I received 37x set pieces. There were a lot of dupes… but I did manage to spin decent, complete L82 sets for each bird.

So, overall, I’m happy-ish. All that’s left for me to do is summon the courage to enchant them all to E10… which is a hell of a lot of shards, resources and snoutlings.

However, it’s been one of my goals to max everything… and I’m finally in a position to do it. Gulp.

Then, I’ll feed all my spare epic items into the Relict maker and see what happens.

After that… it’s back to hardcore saving/hoarding mode until the next L-cap increase. ROFL.

[angryde]

As usual, I totally bombed in this event. 1* ROFL. I really suck at this part of the game. Damn! XD
