The loss of Our Lady of Infinites would have been the thing that made me stop playing the game, if I hadn’t already called it quits a few months ago. It got to the point where, even with infinite spells at my disposal, it became impossible to keep up with the Arena from week to week. Even winning every single match I played, I simply didn’t have…[Read more]

Chuck can get up there if you bounce off the leftmost trampoline first, meaning you come back up far enough away for the fans not to be an issue. That’s how I beat the DC today. It’s a tough shot to aim, but I hit the boss’s crown and that was apparently enough to knock him sideways. I used another bird to take out the tractor beam pig or whatever…[Read more]

I think you can take out this boss with 2 pigs if you’ve very lucky. Matilda’s the best bet for your first bird, but we’ve established that Terence and Chuck can pull it off if aimed just right to ricochet off of the upside-down structure above the boss. Silver has just enough room to swoop and hit the right side of the boss’s platform, but it’s…[Read more]

Yeah, the DC has one of my least favorite bosses from Gravity Grove, and unlike a lot of the recent DCs that have had a 4-room boss, this one has 5 rooms and they’re some of the rooms from GG that I tend to have the toughest time with. 3 birds per room is common for me here. I tried it once and got to the Boss with nothing left but Terence. I…[Read more]

@sam-spargo While the obstacles in that room are annoying, especially when they’re of the “hope you have the one right bird showing that can clear it” variety, I think most of the birds in the flock can handle that particular room in one, maybe two shots. Sometimes you have to go around the first obstacle rather than trying to clear it. The…[Read more]

Daily Challenge and KPC both seemed easier to me after the update. The last level of the DC only had four rooms this time, which is a rarity. Not sure if it was the same for everyone today. But they definitely didn’t make them harder.

Since the new update, thanks to the annoying promo for the AB balloon game that gives me a free spell, I can no longer choose my own spells at the beginning of a game level. Has this always been a problem with those promos? It’s only recently that I’ve resorted to using spells to passing some of the harder levels, so I haven’t noticed.

I like…[Read more]

@hank – As this glitch has caused several Arena losses for me in situations where one might expect to reasonably catch up with the spells at their proper level, I think the best way to make reparations would be to give a “free gems” award as an apology, similar to when we had that massive Arena outage a while back. I figure I’ve had to pay to…[Read more]

But @angryplayer, it takes real effort to come up with all those punny nicknames on “Pig” and “Ham” whenever a new world is introduced! And to think of new and clever ways to make us lose Arena matches. Surely someone must be getting a paycheck for that…

If some folks have level 20 spells despite not doing anything to knowingly earn the upgrade, or to intentionally hack the game, and the rest of us have level 1, then Rovio really fubar’d something in the last update. (Big surprise, I know.)

Unless of course they deliberately downgraded the folks who straight-up admitted to taking advantage of the…[Read more]

I’ve noticed that having the spells leveled back down to 1 actually makes it a bit easier to beat someone who used a few of them. They get to fire more shots but don’t make as many points on the spell shots. Of course, that’s assuming your opponent doesn’t have level 20 spells. Still haven’t figured out how that’s even possible.

Hmmm, so it seems Rovio is still paying attention after all? I’ve only reported the infinite spell glitch like five times.

I’ve been pretty upfront about whatever exploits I’ve found since a few of the Rovio staff seemed to be reading the forums regularly. I figured that showed a good faith effort to give them a chance to fix what others were clearly exploiting, and I agree that due to their apparent disregard for these exploits, we may as well all take advantage of…[Read more]

@kedik22 – Try using every spell you have the next time you play the Arena. When you finish the match and return to the main Arena screen, DO NOT click to go back to the map. You can play several Arena rounds in succession and continue to deplete your spells, just never exit to the map. When you’re done with the Arena, force quit the AB2 app. (On…[Read more]

Loading time has really sucked for me ever since the Halloween update. It either takes an extremely long time to log in when the game first loads, or I can’t log in at all. It’s gotten to the point where I have to put my phone on airplane mode just so it won’t even try to connect to a game server that is obviously struggling, just so I can play…[Read more]

@penz – I already do that to save myself from repeating the first two levels of the DC (since the boss level is the only one that gives me trouble anyway). I’ve never been successful with this same trick in the KPC, but that might just be because I only ever fail the boss level there as well, and by the time I get there, my 10 minutes are up anyway.

I didn’t think you could restart the KPC at all. My understanding was that you got one shot at it, and you got 10 minutes to start it from the time the screen popped up asking you to play (which, for me at least, is always immediately after returning to the map upon completing the DC).

What’s annoying about the KPC being a one-shot deal is that I…[Read more]

My biggest issue with the Arena nowadays is that after an iOS upgrade last week, I can no longer pause and click my phone off, or go do something in another app, without AB2 needing to restart when I come back to it. This means if I’m interrupted in the middle of an Arena run, when I try to pick up where I left off, the app restarts and I’m…[Read more]

@captsternn – I haven’t had that same experience with the feathers. I have several birds at level 16 (which was the highest level before today’s update), and I was still receiving feathers for those birds from treasure chests and from the Arena. The main difference I’ve seen is that where the DC used to guarantee 100 feathers as the first reward…[Read more]

Ah well, already facing Level 17 birds in they arena, they managed to level up mighty quick?

We seem to get that question each time a new bird level is introduced. You can continue to amass feathers for your birds once they’re at the highest level available. So if you had amassed more than 3,500 (which I think is the amount needed to level up…[Read more]
