Kochschwein replied to the topic Rovio cheating customers in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 4 years, 9 months ago
If Rovio bans an account forever, one can assume that there has been a serious violation. Where is the point if Rovio would give this player all his assets back in a new account? The legitimate punishment for a player who is cheating is to start at zero. In my opinion he should not participate in the game anymore at all…[Read more]

@jo-ha, you can?! What kind of bird dive thru lava… well, thanks for tip. ;)
I usually try to clear those nasty special piggies with Blue, if I can’t find another, easier solution. I find those special pigs as a cheap way to make game harder. Specially if lighting prevent you to see them and you have to zoom and pan around.
@captsternn, I got…[Read more]

@aggieguy, those can be so resiliant that it makes one cry. How about pig in a stone ring, usually hanging on balloons? You can drop it long way and it can survive… while ending unreachable spot.
I’m only at the page 4 of topic @captsternn linked and I’m already seen so many familiar sources of frustration there. Positive side is, I only now…[Read more]

@aggieguy, how about two micropigs, side by side and touching each other. Buried deep into debris. Chili pops only one of them, while clearing most of the debris. The other could just as well yell “There can be only one!“, because it survives. You bet I cursed loudly!
@captsternn, nice find! I’m reading the topic now… while crying and laughing…[Read more]

Inigo Montoya replied to the topic Clan spammers in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 10 months ago
And while we’re on the subject, @captsternn & @mscreant (and anyone else reading this): could you provide the name(s) of the folks who tried to hack you? I’m going to suggest to @ryankochie that we start a list in AB2Gamers so we can be on the lookout (though I’m sure they change their names more often than their underwear.) Thanks in advance for…[Read more]

You’re welcome, @CaptSternn, @mscreant & anyone else it serves; I’m sorry about the quality of the screenshots but I have trouble mounting pix here and my iPhone screen is pretty tiny. The Clan Meg warns about is Beast Power and the player who apparently attacked her Clan went by Diamond & CryBabies; and while I can’t personally confirm the…[Read more]

@captsternn Sorry to hear about you being banned. This company is over the top. I have been trying to decide the best approach to being banned. I’m with you. I think it is a legal issue at this point because they are still advertising to me to buy gems and special packs even though I’m banned. As I’m sure you know you can still play the Arena…[Read more]

How would you distinguish those who’ve used exploits to get max or near max FP who “mean well and don’t harm anyone” and “other cheaters”?
Well, to be honest, I dare not say, that I can distinguish all of them.
I used the B&R exploit myself – though I haven’t since the banning started (as I stated before) I will never call myself…[Read more] -
Yue replied to the topic Banned! Hank, answer this! in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 6 years, 1 month ago
When Jon got banned in the very beginning. Hank said, sorry, our mistake. Your account had recovered.
Then, a year later, Jon got banned again. No reason given.
When a player survived last couple of bans, he might be happy. But wait, a year later, he got banned. Still, no reason given.
We all might, by accidentally using so-called, exploits.…[Read more]

Davetv replied to the topic Rovio's banning policy in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 6 years, 1 month ago
@captsternn I wonder what happened to the clan that I created? I did not get banned because of the report button. I got banned because when they did the last update I had a customer service issue over lost gems and “after looking at my game data they determined that I had opened too many legendary chests. And trust me I spent plenty of money in t…[Read more]

I have been banned three times.
The first time is totally insane and I don’t know why, might be cause of my restart method. The second/third time is what I intended to. Well, regret or not? I don’t mind anymore. I just want to test how many glicthes they have…
Today, I do see a clan with “clone” players, sleeper1 and sleeper2.…[Read more]

@hank:
Thank you for the explanations about this bans.
Nevertheless I agree with all that @captsternn and @yue-zhang wrote. A permanent ban without locking comes close to forced expropriation, after some players spend a lot of money on this game – even despite the glitches and exploit. On addition to that, I must say, hacking is bad and damages…[Read more] -
Yue replied to the topic Account locked?? in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 6 years, 8 months ago
Hi Captsternn, I totally agree with you. Life banned is too extreme for long time players.
I would take your advice to write to apple. The glitch should be Rovio’s developer’s issue, not the cause to ban players. Developer knew the glitch and took no action resulted in banned users?

Hello @captsternn and @jon3800 !
This was truly bad news to wake up to and we made sure to instantly go through our process of flagging players as quickly as we could. Doing so, we found that in the latest ban wave we added parameters that potentially caused cases where players could get incorrectly flagged. I know that you are both long time…[Read more]

Now I was just forced to install the update in order to continue, like @captsternn said.
So, first thing I saw was I can change my name once for free. Seriously, you charge players to change the name? Can I change my name to whatever I want, or is it still random?The World Map has reset for me too, lost all stars and lost 6-7 level levels on the…[Read more]
