Maybe I should rephrase it.

We the veterans have never needed any currency to finish episodes in the past: stars, 3-star minima, walkthroughs, everything. All done in less than a week. There were tough levels, sure, but we thought for strategies and hone in our skills to beat them, all by ourselves. So we never cared about the coins and gems that Rovio had stuffed to us. Same goes for some sharpshooters who never emerged in the network.

 

However, Rovio decided to pander with the weaklings who refuse to improve their skills, but are willing to pay. The power-ups mark the beginning of the end, as AB becomes a game about finance instead of skill. The star-walls are just yet another stuff aiming for those weaklings, who need yet another excuse to pay to Rovio.

 

Yeah, it sucks that Rovio has abandoned us the veterans, but at least there’s still hope. Rovio could have left the Episodes button at the bottom right corner.

At least Rovio moved the Episodes button back to the centre. The previous version demoted it to the bottom right corner, which is arguably Rovio’s worst move ever.

As for the star-walls, it’s obviously just for the weak newcomers. We the veterans, as well as some freshly-joined sharpshooters, would get all the stars in no time as soon as new episodes are out.

@sahil-gagrai
Turns out JOYCITY owns a bigger game called “Game of Dice”.
This “Angry Birds Dice” should be perceived as “Game of Dice: Angry Birds”. (Think AB Star Wars, but goes the other way round)

And no, I’ve never played the game.

I feel like we need a list for the Bacon Connoisseur achievement.

Easy ones:
1-3. The ordinary pigs of 3 sizes;
4. Helmet pig;
5. Moustache pig;
6. King pig.
Pesky ones:
7. Chef pig, in Pig Days 4-9;
8. Zombie pig, in On Finn Ice 1-11;
9. Cyborg pig, in Egg Snatchers 2-27;
10. Scarecrow pig, in Haunted Hogs 1-3.

Kudos to @sntrooper, because the “Pesky ones” list is basically a summary of his instructions. Without him I (and some others) would be forever stuck on this.
