@tigerussell Ah hah! A control systems engineer! Perhaps your rigorous statistics are no where near a rusty as mine? If someone does start a new forum thread on statistics in AB Epic, would be nice to have some analysis of the statistical significance of the results.
I would need to dust off my rigorous statistics, if I were to do…[Read more]t_russell replied to the topic Cheaters in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 12 months ago
@burbman I also hope the percentage of cheaters is less than 1% making it possible for those of us interested in playing fairly to advance. It would also make it easier for the boards to be cleaned up if there were fewer than expected.

@steven-dunn-5648 — Yeah, I do remember your post. If it makes you feel any better, one (or maybe 2) of my posts was also deleted, and the most I did was refer to the existence of the cheat. I also admit that I lobbied for deleting posts that had enough hints in them that people could figure out the cheat.
Unfortunately, I think the admins…[Read more]t_russell replied to the topic Cheaters in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 12 months ago
@burbman Correct on the fact I did not add new players into the equation. Since there was no way to know the amount of players coming up as a percentage of total I opted not to try and guess. In reality I would think there would be new players eligible every day simply waiting for advancement at the end of the week. @mvnla2 I am a control…[Read more]

@tigerussell – I think your 7% cheater assumption is very high. I am in Gold League currently (week 5), which according to your chart above places me in the top 2.24%. You state that you expect to make it to Gold League in week 6 which would put you in the top 4.06%. Neither of us cheat. I am level 41, where I would expect most cheaters to be,…[Read more]

@mvnla2 – the chart posted above by @tigerussell indicates the percentage of players distributed across the various leagues in arena play. I have confirmed that the calculations are correct with one caveat, his numbers assume that no new players begin play following the first week. Adding new players over time would increase the percent in the…[Read more]

Too bad, Android users received nothing though and got left with no updates yet ;(

Just check out the Android update thread, all things listed there should be also added in the iOS version.

@larry thanks.
@Partshade — If you or anyone else still has birds with the highest ranking class = 8, more data would be really useful. I am beginning to get enough rank 10 classes, that I think my statistics are becoming skewed.
Data from someone with one rank 10 class would be really useful.MVNLA2 replied to the topic Cheaters in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 12 months ago
@larry @petekeeling — I will have to think about a new forum on odds in Epic. There is already a fair amount of data in the Golden Pig and Mastery threads, but it might make sense to combine it all in one place. I haven’t updated the main post of the Mastery thread recently, and someone else started the Golden pig thread.
@tigerussell — Might be…[Read more]t_russell replied to the topic Cheaters in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 12 months ago
@burbman Thankfully none of my leagues have contained cheaters at all. I expect to move to Gold this week as long as I don’t draw any challenges I can’t complete. But percentages being what they are. if only 7% of all players cheat then they will be the ones in platinum and diamond at the end of the tourney. Legit players might pop up now and…[Read more]

@larry I liken it to Shakespeare in the park. Free for everyone to attend with an optional area with supplied seating for a fee. You are free to sit in the grass and view the performance which may be entirely to your liking. Or you could pay the fee for a chair and the actors may be terrible. The choice is yours to pay or not and the result…[Read more]

@tigerussell – I will take that bet! Two days into this week’s tournament, I was in first place by a couple hundred points in a fair gold league. Then events happened and four members of my league began cheating. So I will stay in Gold for one more week. My expectation is that next week I will get fewer cheaters, and I will be able to move…[Read more]

@tigerussell, true. However, there is a certain gambling effect which offers the potential of getting specific in-game results which are determined by chances, which in turn are programmed by the game developers. You can buy in-game currency to gamble on this, but the devs will not share the odds.
I can imagine this to be a shady area in the…[Read more]

@larry Buying LC is like buying tokens at a video arcade. they have no value outside the establishment and neither do the rewards received for them (game plays). Epic is a game and not a lottery or a sweepstakes. Those laws do not apply since there is no purchase necessary and the rewards have no value. The sale of LC is a sale of…[Read more]

@petekeeling In response to your other point about set items, there have been several exploits which allowed people to get daily set items. I think most people have gotten most of their sets complete because of this. I also spent money on the game, but mostly to buy the chili, gold cauldron and gold anvil. I haven’t spent any of that on the…[Read more]

@petekeeling I’d be happy to start a thread on this, but I won’t be taking charge of it. If you start it I believe you should remain active in it to make sure all info assembled is being compiled somewhere. A place to do this is in the first post. Check out the first post of this thread or the mastery one by @MVNLA2.

@petekeeling I’m willing to bet the only players to make it to platinum or Diamond will be cheats.
