Hello flingers!
It’s a new week and I can address some of your concerns here.
First off, making changes takes time. This is the boring part for both you and me. I will try to give you answers within a few days (just came back from a long weekend), but getting game changes into the game can take some time longer when it goes live for millions of…[Read more]

Hello @kedik22
I do read the forums and follow discussions, but I can’t answer them all.
Here is a very specific question:
I need to know specifically which players in my tournament are shadows and/or cheaters.
Can you or Rovio provide that information?
That would be in order to have a fun, transparent and fair Arena gameplay this week.If a…[Read more]

Hello @bluedog
I’m sorry to hear about that frustrating moment, I know the feeling. While it would feel like being cheated, I can assure you that we don’t have any gameplay related parameters for when the video option should be available.
It will check how many times it’s been used on the client (your game) within the hour and make sure to show…[Read more]

Hello!
There’s a set number of videos that can be seen per hour (and to a certain extent per day), so it’s not a bug, just unfortunate you got it at an important moment.
To your other matchmaking question I don’t have a perfect answer. The matchmaking service we are using is not made internally and we don’t know exactly how the…[Read more]

Rovio_Hank replied to the topic Angry Birds 2 Scores – My Rant in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 7 years, 11 months ago
Hello @rizdub
Thank you for your constructive and insightful feedback! I very well see your point and I will be sure to bring this forward. It is true that the scoring system is probably something we haven’t touched in a while, and with the additions of new features it might need a re-work in some way. I hope you’ll stay in the game as we try and…[Read more]

Hello @kelshe
I passed this to our lead programmer two days ago, but with a milestone this Friday he’s quite swamped. I’ll ask him again if he knows what to do. I’ll send you a friend request on this forum and we can discuss it privately.

Hello flingers!
I am not a community manager and it’s not in my job description to visit these forums, I do it so I can make the game better. This means that I won’t answer all your questions because I sadly don’t have the time or the resources to do so. Some issues I can’t answer, like frustration over physics, and some issues I can just tell…[Read more]

Hey flingers!
Hopefully I’ll have time to give some further insight to you before the weekend. There’s a lot of different topics to discuss and I’m doing this parallel to my ordinary work schedule so I can’t answer everything. As a game designer, I’ll try to give you an idea of how I’m reasoning.

Thank you for reporting your findings. We’re looking into if there’s something that needs to be fixed with the matchmaking. I personally tried it out yesterday and I didn’t experience the same results as you described. If you, or anyone else, encounter an opponent “light years” ahead of you, please take a screenshot or write down your…[Read more]

I addressed this in the “main” thread earlier:
4. Arena Score
Displaying the incorrect score at the end of an Arena run is bad and I’ll look into this right away. Thank you for the observation and screenshots.This is a big priority for us to fix. I hope to deliver good news on this one sometime next week. Thank you!

The way collision is calculated is pretty advanced and differs a lot between dynamic objects, static objects, character objects (birds/pigs) etc. There’s both set values and formulas for how things work; I don’t dare to dive any deeper into the technicalities of that subject but if there is a problem with pigs we’ll look closer at…[Read more]

Hey Flingers!
A lot of talk about the latest update, that’s healthy! I’ll see if I can add some insight to your thoughts.
1. Crashes
We’ve actually seen a decrease in crashes lately as we’re continuously trying to fix all issues reported to us. This is however something we know exists for some players and we’re working on improving it further.…[Read more] -

Hey guys, Hank from Rovio Sweden here.
A lot of topics are being discussed and I’ll try to address some of them.
1. Arena Opponents
With the latest additions to having nicknames in the Arena, it hopefully feels a bit more personal and enjoyable when playing with other people. If you’re up against a player with a cutesy name, that player…[Read more] -
