    @vmicho , failure constitutes to the perfect puzzle quest being broken. It wasn’t the difficulty which effected some players, it was the broken slots (never ending loading sign) , the counter resetting before 3 plays were done ( 1 item grab, 24 hour wait ) . I don’t mind having a break from the 11 day monster events , but at least you get multiple gems, thousands of coins, reasonable items, ship parts (if needed) and can join teams and actually have fun. Us regular players play 3 times and than wait 24 hours while other players cheat the system and play the slots 50 times , getting all 4 SS items, 5 ☆ each. I think these quest are way to long and should be 4 days not 11 days. I love arena , and it’s perfect that it last 4 days , why should quest last as long as monster raids??? Just doesn’t make sense

    I understand the “business” aspect, but you also have to consider that theirs problems existing within this event. No one had complaints for the first few days. Everyone got at least one SS item, after having to deal with the failure of the “perfect combo quest”. The egg rescue was a great break. The problem arose once they made an update, cut the timer by 15 seconds, filled the board , and added an extra level of difficulty for new players and veterans. How can this idea bring in new players , if the veterans are having issues? It’s not difficult as if it’s not possible to win. It’s the aspect of having us wait 24 hours to recieve crappie items. Being that most players want to play the “special slot” we may or may not spend gems. It’s a prolonged attempt of wasting the players time, and fattening the pockets of the whales. In business being the fat cat , owning the monopoly , of course you’ll do whatever it takes to bring more people. More players more revenue, but to change an event for the worse ?!? Seems a little greedy to me. If Rovio wants to make the quest harder , and force us to use gems, give us an opportunity to get gems other than 5 gems every week. Monster event we receive 15 or 16 gems, arena 5, why are these quest, not awarding anything like the rest of the events. Guess without a new island , new pig events , I’ve loss all incentive. The perfect combo quest had so many holes , but Rovio made up for it with unlimited attempts , 4 wins per day x in order to avoid players the itch to spend gems. But for the egg quest they did the opposite. That’s our issue , can’t give everyone gold, than take it back and turn it into plastic.

    @oxfordrob , isn’t it a bit peculiar that Rovio made the challenge a lot more difficult, in order to force users to spend gems , and now a super big value pack is available. I promise I’m not ever spending a dime again. They reeled me in at first , but I will no longer be bait. Others say they need money to further the game but that’s bologna. Over 10 million downloads , and over 15 varieties of different games, they seriously need to step it up.

    This quest was so relaxing and easy , and I really wanted to give credit to Rovio, from messing up 2 weeks ago. Than today my clock runs from 45 to 30, plus additional orange piggies, plus a full board, plus the egg gets on the left/right side, with difficult precision to bring down. Very greedy minds , running a scheme to take our gems.

    1. We have no more islands to earn gems.
    2. No more labs to earn gems.
    3. Quest we do not earn gems.
    4. Arena only awards 5 gems.

    It is getting ridiculous, how they want to have us spend money , to than earn nothing. I failed the first quest today at level 9 I believe , and was in shock because I wasn’t even looking at the timer. I was so used to running through the quest getting b.s items. Than the second time I realized , it’s only 30 seconds, and even though I’ve completed it over 15 times, both times were A items. Not even piggy A item, hat for both Stella and Matilda.

    It’s a shame that Rovio is consistently {Admin Edit} messing up with these updates.


    @deindiaan
    add more offers like what they did for thanksgiving , I know for a fact revenue will sky rocket. Being greedy like this is what forces people to find hacks for gems.
    @justpast40 this went from a very Good quest with decent prizes , worth waiting 24 hours. To a waste of time. What they need to do is bring back unlimited tries , with a 4 prize max out per day. I literally have no desire to play for 24 hours. Rovio needs to get it together.

    Thinking about throwing in the towel, my incentive to play is depleting.

    The idea of respect goes a long way but when you have a winning streak and other players feel the need to “hate” it causes problems with completing daily challenges. I understand sometimes people walk away from their phones or become busy and forget in the last 5 seconds, but other players feel the need to either go offline or just be upset they loss. The problem is some players have yet to complete all islands and missions so losing 2 or 3 boots is why they go offline. But once you’ve finished everything , win or lose, give GG , receive your 88 xp, and go on to the next fight. Some players get mad that we have items that boost our birds when the opponent is angry, it’s all luck. Sometimes I fight an opponent who isn’t angry , and I lose the additional bonus. It’s the way of the game. Pros and cons all around, should be daily challenges of sending GG to promote good battles.

    @cokencola

    I know what your talking about. It is extremely annoying. Like if a game is neck and neck and I lose by 1 point, 10 point, 100 points, it doesn’t matter I always GG. But others get so enfuriated when using chuck against my red, and get mad that there health goes down faster. Each bird has its pros and cons. People need to put pride and egos aside and just help one another with daily challenges. Because at our levels getting 200 GG does nothing.

    I’d love it if Rovio either got rid of it or added SS items to the free slots or gems.

    This 23 hours 53 minutes for this event is crazy. At least before with unlimited tries you didn’t have to worry about spending gems. And it gave room for practice for some. But so far so good, haven’t had to use any gems, but I’ve come close. I’ve run the clock down to the last second because of avoidable mistakes.

    1. Don’t try and do anything fancy. Look for the easiest move given, or change the board immediately.

    2. If the egg is one move away from the bottom, never touch the egg to do a switch. Always switch the lower pig into the egg. (If you touch , egg might not drop , and go back to the top)

    3. Have fun with it. These games are not meant to be super challenging. Gets the heart pumping awaiting for the final slot pull. Some get lucky some don’t.

    I’ve finished about 11 or 12 times, mostly A items which are crappie, but 2 SS items , one for bomb , second for blues.

    @cokencola

    I seriously hope it’s not a combo quest. I mean now that we know how to do it and what to expect maybe we’ll succeed more but the randomness and ineffective distribution of prizes is ridiculous. And even though we didn’t receive arena tickets we still could possibly have an arena, not unlike Rovio to make mistakes. Guess we will know by tomorrow.

    @frazzledzl You are right , the Golden violin is a major plus. The only thing that baffles me is that I beat the perfect challenge over 40 times and even at that rate I continued with S items and A items and pigs. I only received 2 SS items, the shuriken and the violin, while others have gotten 5 paladins, 3 violins, 3 defense masks, 3 shruriken, all 5 star now. Just wasn’t dealt out according to the statement of better items when completed more times. I know players who only finished less than 10 but we’re still rewarded more SS items. The sporadic randomness is what made that even horrible for me at least. But using reds violin has definitely been a plus , consistent with angry opponents I’m always over 2000 till about 3200 which is what I believed I’ve capped.

    @tomt you are so right. There needs to be an incentive to still play these events. Since i have completed all islands all missions all dr pigs labs, all i have left are events. What purpose do ship parts give us when we are already maxed. It would be cool to add combos with specific items, other than increased panel rates, plus atk/def. Though this is minor i would also appreciate if we knew how much xp was left in each fighter to level up. Because now that im at 45 plus, feels like it would take months to reach 50.

    But than again keeps players on the game because once you reach 50, than what, There are no perks in achieving top leaderboard ranks other than “bragging” rights.

    I wish their was incentives by Rovio to keep us chasing towards top 500. idk guess thats just my opinion.

    I guess your one of the lucky few , congrats. I’ve thrown away practically everything , so I can’t wait for the event to end.

    @raizir Maybe I haven’t figured it out yet , using android , so I’ve been having to rely solely on luck and familiarity. I am new to the forum, so don’t know about the PM system

    @oxfordrob Are you using an Ipad? If so i have had the same problem (second account), its under another thread, its the slot bug. Dont worry though you are seriously not missing out on much, i have completed this quest more than 5 times, of which 4 items were Matilda items. Variety would be nice, but the cash cows are always winning. Maybe they will compensate those who were effected with the bug, but don’t hold your breathe.

    @cokencola

    @gabe-nestor That would be way to logical for Rovio to let happen. If we had multiple tries within 12 hours , for one completion no one would dare to feel tempted to spend a gem to continue on the same level. People would just fail and try again within an hour or two. It is not about convenience, or the better hood of the people , it’s about profit. 10 million+ players , even if 5 or 10 percent of the players playing buy their cheapest gem deal, Rovio would still bank upwards in the millions in revenue. It’s a shame, this game had great potential. Now I literally have no incentive. No new islands , all challenges complete, all I do are daily challenges and wait for events. Would start a new game on iPad but with all the bugs, pointless.

    CokenCola
    @cokencola

    @rowdypup Hit the nail on the head, ROVIO stopped coming out with new ideas and are trying to milk as much profits as possible. Its a legal scam that gets new suckers everyday. Especially those new players under their parents credit cards that will buy gems everyday without a care in the world. South Park tells it best with these “Freemium” games. Never ending cycle, its genius for the whales on the other side, but for us, shame shame shame.

    @rizdub I agree that it should be based on tickets, gems, or some sort of incentive rather than just playing twice a day. As per my experience around 3am and 3pm is when it always unlocks for me. So far ive beaten the quests three times, and still no SS items, 2 A ( bike/blues , Cap/stella) and one S (wig/matilda). As said in previous post im trying to make the best out of this situation and stay positive, so golden violin could be used occasionally, but thats pretty much it.

    Weak prizes, extended event, 120 hours total with only 20 possible attempts at slots. It is a shame, and with the slot bug a lot of players can’t even join in. I understand they wanted to do something new, but this is ridiculous. I thought it was going to be prizes set on combos achieved i.e 40,50,60+. Lets see what they have in store next week.

    CokenCola
    @cokencola

    At least a second try would be less greedy. Some of them you really have to look at 3 or 4 times before making a move, and when you only have 10 seconds , it’s totally rigged. And even when you use the gem you restart the level, but doesn’t mean you’ll get the same puzzle. It’s total B.S. After all the trouble , I’ve passed it twice , which says the more you pass the better the prize, still trash A items.

    CokenCola
    @cokencola

    @tomt

    I understand that completely. I have only been playing a few weeks now, I’ve completed all islands and challenges, but still need time to max out piggies. But tbh when I’m bored I don’t mind playing low level players with paladins and magician, but when all islands are completed, scoring wins without gaining gems becomes useless. I’m just tired of summing up my energy to complete daily challenges compete in raids and arenas than use slots and get A items. When I do get SS it’s a repeat, so I’m losing interest completely. And I keep saying maybe next week, but it’s a loss cause.

    @cokencola

    @justpast40 don’t think about it as speed and reflexes. You have 10 seconds , but don’t stress or freak yourselves out, think of the simplest way to finish the entire puzzle in one move. Picture the movements of the colors and map out which is the better move. You only have one , it is not like combos in the game where reflexes mean catching combos from falling pieces (birds) . But I agree with @tomt, the prizes are extremely bad and 10 days of this will be brutal. At least no pressure in playing every hour on the hour for top 500.

    CokenCola
    @cokencola

    First fight , got into the quest right away, did not realize the rules and failed. After about 40 maybe 50 fights finally got into quest again, passed. Really simple rules, you get one move to complete the full puzzle. Super easy , more quests completed the better the prizes. The game itself is easy, but getting into the challenge seems to be the hardest task.
