@ddeck, I only did that once, and it was because I clicked that button by mistake.
My alternate-day trend continues. Yesterday, 23 points, today 50.

i feel the same, @ddeck. it appears to me that the levels are harder, but with the coins they give you now for room destruction, i bet, in the end, it will average out. i need to average around 34 points per session to get the emerald frame at the end of the season and enough coins to buy the next cheap roman hat.

@ddeck, exactly, as in general. Like having a background in industry.
I thought Rovio being mentioned with winners at The Finnish Game Awards was full of irony, but it turns out the award had nothing to do with any specific game. Instead, it was just one guy from Rovio who was awarded for Europe wide project of preparing game industry for…[Read more]

@ddeck well said, and as a former game developer (I quit that career as soon as I learned what the nature of the job is like and went into the business sector instead), you hit the nail on the head with remarkable accuracy. Something changed part-way on the path and Rovio swung down into the sleazy depths of groveling for nickel-and-dime revenue,…[Read more]

@sarai, it’s not the community of wonderful people I’ve met here. It’s the author, Rovio, not giving a flying f**k about the community or basically anything other than filling their pockets.
@sb311, I’m also sorry (to leave), but if you think about it, leaving the thing (AB2, not the community!) swiftly behind is a way to go. Gone are the daily…[Read more]

Now with the Clan thing going I don’t even have time to send gifts some days like today to people who sent them to me….I just had too much going on today…as far as the arena goes…. Most people I know who have easy arena matches are in the very upper echelons of the arena which isn’t fair at all to me as, like you said, I am playing…[Read more]

I stopped playing the arena and am now stuck in the Vanilla league where the top player has a very high score and I hear those in higher levels all the way up to diamond have people not even playing….It makes no sense…it should be easy for me to crawl back up to Diamond League but the way it is now I don’t even try!

@ddeck This is how the slings upgrade work, and it actually doesn’t matter which sets you complete
1st hat set (HS): bronze +1 multiplier
2nd HS: silver +2
3rd HS: gold + 3
4th HS: Azure +4 (you can get the azure without buying cowboy hats)
5th HS: Emerald +5
6th HS: Amethyst +6 (all lesser hats + cowboy hats are required)
7th HS: Diamond + 7…[Read more] -

@ddeck, thanks much for the lucid explanation. I will go for the additional cowboy hat… And I also got into the new Arena and my gems and pearls within seconds of the contest ending.

@ddeck– just read your post and surprised no-one had responded yet! Thanks for the painstaking analysis – like many others I’ve found the slingshot/hats issue perplexing and complained about it, but being too lazy to actually do any more than that your findings make interesting reading.

@ddeck, perhaps you or @hank have knowledge on this. Starting early yesterday, I have been consistently outmatched by opponents with much higher star ratings, birds at much higher levels, and lots of spells, making it all but impossible to win a match. Since others do not seem to be having the same issue, I have a theory — I am 12-0-1 in the…[Read more]

Hey Flingers!
While I understand your frustration as a competitive gamer myself, I’ll still try to convince you that we’re not doing shady business in the Arena. I’m sure I will never be able to convince all of you, but that’s life. When you’re in a game against another player, no variables are used to change the outcome of anything – the core…[Read more]

@ddeck – I’ve had that happen too. Finished a tournament, logged in several hours later, and got absolutely no notification of my placement. I figured it was because I had force quit the app during a match where I was losing badly, so it didn’t get to show me the “Broken streak” animation (which I hate having to see anyway – I already know I lost,…[Read more]

Hello flingers!
I’m trying to address most issues the best way I can, but in some cases the answer is simply that we’re working on improving it. That’s an answer I’ve given regarding a few issues in this thread, because I want to be able to give you a better answer once we actually have a solution on the way rather than giving “false hope”. Your…[Read more]

I read your post, Larry, and it was what alerted me to pay more attention to my scores. I usually focus on my game, not the changes in my score. Bankler said in an earlier post a month or 2 back that the Arena scores are absolutely calculated fairly and I believed him!?! Wow. I…[Read more]
