    Yes you’re probably doomed without the account number, unless you had a unique user name. Went through the same thing over a year ago and had to start all over.

    Ill offer you some advice for if you do have to start over though.  #1 as many here will agree, don’t spend any real money on the game. Ever.

    Dont buy any hats, they’ll show up fast enough just opening treasure chests and playing the ToF. Instead, save every single black pearl you get while you fill in the lower value hats for free, then you’ll have a big hoard to use on Exotic and Legendary hats.

    I see you were at FP 78 and have obviously played quite a lot so I’m not trying to treat you like a noob, just sharing my experience with you.  When I started over I saved everything I got and watched every video to get another one for the first few months. It didn’t take long at all to get my FP number back to where it was, but this time I have an insane hoard of gems, pearls, spells and arena tickets to go with it.  The game is much more fun when you have a robust savings account of loot and don’t have to think twice about what you spend.   Just like real life :^)

    My game crashes after watching an ad to win prizes. Never any other time, never in any other part of the game. I watch an ad for one more spin in ToF and when it’s over nothing happens. The option to pay another 400 gems still worked though. Go figure.

    Talked to customer service and dealt with Caspar, THE most obtuse person I’ve ever had to try to reason with.  This cabbage headed fool thinks that since I did get my prizes I have no “claim”, says he can’t “compensate” me.   I don’t think returning what was mine to begin with classifies as compensation.

    Is it sh*t coding or malicious?  If it was just sh*t coding I could forgive it, but I’ve yet to see a glitch work in my favor.  Most every aspect of this game is corrupt beyond reason and it has nothing to do with incompetent code writers.

    Yes, this game is completely rigged.  Rovio cheats 24/7 without shame.  They give zero f#*&s about any of us, the entire business model is based on screwing people.

    I’m close to dumping this cheat ridden piece of &*#@ game too.  I don’t really care about whether or not other players cheat, it’s Rovios blatant scamming that ruins everything.  They always screw you just enough that if you watch an ad you can make a comeback.   Or like the OP said, he takes 5 spells into the arena against a player with his same FP and gets smoked because he’s been set up with throttled down birds. How is that fun for anyone?

    i firmly believe that Rovio would make a LOT more money if they themselves stopped cheating us players.  I’m not opposed to spending real world money for entertainment, but I feel that if I spent one single dollar on this game in its current state I’d only be rewarding their despicable behaviour and for that, I would feel dirty.  I won’t give a junkie dope money so why would I give a thief a reward?

    I’m kinda old school, not very tech savvy and don’t even know how a person CAN cheat this game.  By my count they could’ve achieved those gains with as few as 7 trips to the ToF.  Don’t even get me started on the ToF! I’ve been robbed there many times myself so I certainly realize it would take some coin to do it, but it could easily be done.

    Why they would spend that much is any bodies guess. Not meaning to argue about it, just pointing out an alternative possibility.

    Looks to me like that player increased their temporary hat bonus and therefore, no increase to their slingshot.  How is that cheating?

    @flinx

    I just came out of the tower and ya know what? screw it.  Scratch off lottery tickets have better odds.

    Since I have a ton of gems hoarded away I decided to have a go at it.  Setting my limit at 5,000 gems plus the 60 gem admission fee I ventured inside to get started.  First floor, 14 feathers. Oh yay.  Floor 2 is where the pig lives of course, as is Floor 3.   No big deal right?  Pay the man and carry on.

    Long story short, it cost me 780 gems to just get to the 16th floor, with 38 gems, 7 spells, 114 feathers and 40 black pearls as the prize bank. I gave up and bailed out.

    That has to be a bug. There’s no way they have a Bubbles at 147  when their Red is only at 57.  Actually, I reckon there ARE ways it could happen but I doubt it.

    @flinx

    I’ve got over 10,000 gems banked up so could well afford to pay the 20 to continue, but when I see a pig on the second floor day after day it sours me on the whole game. Give me a pig on floor 3 just for a change of scenery and maybe then I’ll get up off a few of my shekels and continue.

    @flinx

    Seems like 9 times out of 10 I get the pig on Floor 2.  I won’t spend 20 gems nor even watch the video for that.  Screw these guys and their dishonest business model.  If they weren’t so blatant with the cheating I’d be a better customer for them because I’d at least watch some ads, generating revenue for Rovio.  As it stands now I feel that watching ANY ads in this game only serves to reward them for being greasy, I’ll just take the loss thank you vary much

    Change that to 9 days in a row now.  Am I having fun yet?

    Flinx
    @flinx

    For eight days in a row now I’ve gotten the pig on Floor 2. Hardly feels like a random chance game to me.  8 times in a row, always on the second floor?

    @flinx

    @garethw I’m using the same strategy of not watching any ads.  I don’t spend real money on the game and I’m sure not giving them ad revenue for 50 lousy feathers.  I used to watch every ad available for treasure chests when they had treasure in them, but no more!  I have exactly 250 spells left and when they’re gone, unless they change it back I’m done.

    @flinx

    I spend about 75% of my AB2 time playing the arena.  If there are no more free spells in the game I’ll show myself to the door when my current supply runs out.  If Rovio wants to look for more money I say let them look for new players while they’re at it!

    @shaggydog  would have been nice if they had bothered to tell us that huh?  I was having no issues with the duck spell until today when I got pig mail telling me they had “fixed” it.   Now the ducks don’t work at all.  I’d probably lose my job if that was my idea of a “fix”.

    The arena went to shit at the same time they forced that extra bird on everyone. Prior to that I was able to get first place in Legendary League for something like 12-15 weeks in a row, typically scoring only around 250-400 points for the whole week.  After that the scores started pushing up on 4 digits. I’ve since been kicked down to Diamond and can’t even compete at that level.  Only 3 hours into this weeks battle the high score was already over 250. Smells like bullshit to me.

    Good luck Joe B!  So far for me at least, level 7 has been so full of Rovios scammy shenanigans that it’s about impossible to get through it.  Pigs that refuse to pop, birds that suddenly don’t work, gravity apparently turned off etc etc.

    ill try to add a pic from my last attempt, how this structure remained standing is beyond me.

    Flinx
    @flinx

    I fully agree, I didn’t want it either.  You should be able to open the extra bird locker and choose which one of them to be stuck with anyway, that’s what I did.

    @flinx

    It’s a funny thing too that when you restart the game and come back there’s no memory at all of  the many prizes you had piled up.  But what does it remember? It always remembers that I used my free ToF entry to lose all that stuff and if I’d care to try again well, that’ll be another 60 gems mr flinx, if you please

    @Aggie @sloth just FYI, I updated last night and am having no issues playing through WiFi.  Hopefully it’s a minor glitch and Rovio will grace you with a fix.

    Flinx
    @flinx

    Had the same problem about a year ago when an update froze my account, couldn’t get any farther than the first splash screen.

    Dont want to make you sad, but be prepared to lose everything. Even with my player ID, Game Center ID, apple store ID, AND an apple receipt proving a purchase through the game all Rovio had to say was  ‘sorry flinx, you’re shit out of luck’.

    I sincerely hope they do better by you 👍

    I’ll keep banking my 1,000 pearls and 1,000 gems every Saturday night, all the while paying zero attention to picture frames.  I’d suggest trying my advice before crapping on my achievements as being the result of easy match ups.

    @flinx

    I finally had a decent run up the tower.  Made it up to floor 46 and gained nearly 700 gems and a Fancy hat along the way.  Found the Jackpot Egg and scored a Mythical hat, lots of feathers and 5,000 black pearls.    Feels good to finally have won some worthwhile prizes.
