Oh you colossal nerd, lol! That’s the same rebalancing effects we have all been discussing, and apparently still going on in 1.4.8… Maybe it’s just slow to process on whatever device you have been using. Personally, I am going to just put the blame on Blustacks and discount anything you post until 3 hours have passed, hahaha… -

@smwforever45
Your essay seems to summarize it pretty well, but now that 1.4.8 has been released and seems to have stabilized the rebalance, most of my motivation to figure out what was going on with 1.4.7 is rapidly vanishing, lol.So focusing on what 1.4.8 does, it seems pretty sad that a player’s mastery grinding AND purchases would be…[Read more]

What you noticed fits with what I have seen too, and version still seems important to the discussion.@smwforever45
Ok, so 1.4.8 looks like we have a patched unfutzing, or what they will undoubtedly refer to as “the intended outcome of rebalancing”. So it seems likely that when they force the 1.4.8 update on everyone, we all go…[Read more] -

Ok you’re on the right track here. Absolute numbers for mastery were tweaked. But after that applies, your TOTAL mastery earned should get overlaid on those absolute numbers and the mastery tier of a bird then gets adjusted accordingly.As far as “getting mastery via unprocessed borrowed bird” goes, we’re talking about that…[Read more]

What do you mean by “didn’t get a single rank up animation from borrowed friends that wasn’t upcoming anyway?” Before this update, I had never seen a borrowed bird get rank up animation. they don’t gain mastery from getting borrowed, as far as I know.
If you did see any borrowed birds get a rank up animation, I think that would be…[Read more] -

@smwforever45 @pixelyzed I guess it could be an additional effect of what could amount to the inadvertent “stealing” of the mastery rebalance of your birds by friends who borrowed them before you opened Epic after update? But if that was actually the case, it could only affect the three birds you had selected (because you can only borrow a bird…[Read more]

Thank you for your posts on this rebalancing stuff: I am thoroughly enjoying putting the pieces together in order to figure out what actually happens, and if we keep sharing info, might actually succeed. Based on everyone’s posts, here is my latest take on the mastery rebalance weirdness:

Well, after 10 runs of cave 13-5, kinda sold on it for a mastery autogrind level, at least for (Reset)Wizard/(Nightmare)Bard combination. That is the only 2-bird combo I can use on Autoplay though.
Takes about 2x longer than cave 1-5, but I got more than double avg mastery per run and don’t have to restart level as often. The cave…[Read more] -

Confirmed that mastery balancing does occur and may give some hiccups at first.
I went and loaded up my wife’s Epic (which hadn’t been updated to 1.4.7 yet) and checked existing mastery until next level for 2 M9 birds and 1 M10.
Pre-update Mastery to next level
Paladin M10: 49402
Princess M9: 14808
Wizard M9:…[Read more] -

I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Try updating again. I just did on both Android and iOS devices and it’s working fine. Well, mostly fine. My EPal did the “Mastery Level Up” animation when I killed an opponent banner in an Arena battle, but the only lasting effect seems to be that he now needs a few thousand less mastery to reach the…[Read more]

On an unrelated but interesting note, it seems I no longer have to “McCool away” 5-10 opponents in arena to find a matchup I have a chance to win! Huzzah! Guess there were literally hundreds of arena cheaters that got removed! I’m almost as happy about that as I am pissed to have been suffering through that up til now, lol.

Well, they DID just release an update, so BLAM! Once again we don’t know for sure what is what for mastery OR snouts! Update text even ominously specifies “Mastery Tiers rebalanced.” Argh!

Thanks for your mastery analysis: most helpful, thorough, and probably tedious study I’ve seen yet on the subject. Thought I would help clarify your last post for anyone following: where you say “I didn’t find a level where pigs drop 4 mastery”, you aren’t contradicting your previous post saying that a Moorlands 2 brute drops 4…[Read more] - Load More
