I’ve done it once– the opponent gets the win and the player is pushed to buy an extra bird. I’ll check to see if I still have the screenshot

@sarai they’d have done me a favour if they banned my account. Any company that’s operating on this self-serving ethical level doesn’t deserve my time, attention, and especially not my money.

@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]

@rawdatasystems It’s more for me observing the continual stream of problems other players are facing- and the new fockery Rovio tries update after update is at a point where it’s stooped so ridiculously low that it’s become amusing.

Recall I started playing this game from day 1 so I’ve seen (and been on) this less-than-wild ride from one of the…[Read more]

See my post on why I walked away from this crappy game once and for all.

Why I left AB2 and everything Rovio touches

If you don’t feel like reading, essentially my phone got hacked so I installed a privacy app that alerted me when something tried to access components of my device. To my shock, when I booted up AB2, a request popup came that the…[Read more]

Because $$$$.

That’s why. Remember, Rovio doesn’t care if you enjoy their game or not. If you’re not lining their pockets you are no good to them.

@birdpower Remember every time you complete watching an ad, Rovio gets a kickback of $x.00 provided by AdChoices or whomever is paying them to host their spam.

They can make more money by running ads than they can by you buying (or not) their in-game items. So now you are being forced to sacrifice your bandwidth, gaming experience, and time so…[Read more]

Great idea @rawdatasystems. I’m off to iTunesStore to rate the game :)

@pomme Maybe copy/paste your experience in my current thread called “Farewell, Flingers”. Maybe if enough people get fed up with the game as you and I did, and it’s recorded in a single thread, someone at Rovio will read it, wake up and figure out that maybe they’re ruining their product for the sake of greed.

Or, we may save an innocent…[Read more]

Haha, no @datguygamer, but I decided to do something about it now ;)

@falconfalcon You are right, and it’s just going to continue onto infinity. I got one of my birds pretty high (remember I’ve been playing since day 1) and the classification was “You have upgraded (bird) to Legendary”. Legendary what? Rovio hadn’t even named the class yet, which means as soon as players start getting close to this level (and…[Read more]

@rawdatasystems I’m wondering how long it’s going to take for every last drop of fun to be squeezed out of playing it, and the game to become nothing more than a bunch of buttons to pay gems/ watch ads. It’s almost at that point now.

BTW today’s DC is another 4-5-5 (be prepared to waste all your birds on wave 3.4) with a KP that is +1000000…[Read more]

I agree, DC was reasonable today but KPP is 100% impossible.

1st Boss is a battery-drainer because KP gravity is cranked up to +10000 meaning he bounces straight up and down for eternity and no matter how many times you send that rock shower at him he never seems to budge. one. bit. So unless you get in there with an arsenal of birds or gem$ or…[Read more]

Monday’s DC: Wave 3 sucks all your birds away (5-room wave). KP is sitting on a platform that when broken, fans blow him into a dead zone where you have to pummel him to death. Gem$, Gem$, Gem$.

Gave up first try. I’ve seen that crappy screen before and I’m not going to bother. And after slogging through a 4-5-5 who wants to pay to sit there…[Read more]

And today I played the Arena and was faced with someone who had every new valentine hat already.

Why would I bother paying to upgrade my slingshot when there are tons of cheaters out there wrecking it for the rest of us? Who cares about moving up levels with the hats when all you’re going to meet is an opponent whose flock is fully stacked…[Read more]

I’ve had times when I played the exact same opponent in the exact same set of screens and their score ends up different, which is why I think their PvP is a scam.

I know I should have taken screenshots of this, but last week I was on the final leg of the win streak trying for the legendary chest.  Opponent already +150 strength level over…[Read more]

Gave up again today.  That’s 4/4 plays this week.  Tired of repeated DC boss levels where the KP just lands in a dead zone and you need an army of birds to barrage him to death, of course, all after a slew of preceding screens that just basically suck your birds away.  I think I’m going to take a break from this game for awhile.

OK stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the first screen of a 6-screen DC finale takes 7 birds to clear….

Just when I think I’ve experienced every depth of Rovio’s f*ckery, today’s DC comes along.

They must be putting off so many players that they’re desperate for gem money….
