    If it’s during Arena, just keep playing with that bird. Seems like people play it more often for practice or to test weapons. Otherwise, choose a bird and stick with it. Maybe a popular one at the time.

    @raizir If I can figure it out, Im sure Rovio employees could too. Please delete your post. Make people PM you if they want to know.

    Not that at it matters for this event, but maybe the idea with the Arena weapons is that they’re powerful (good for accumulating stats on monster events), and eventually helpful for fighting powered-up pigs. Has anyone fought a fellow pig with one of these bonuses?

    I understand that, and it’s the only reason I’m remotely accepting of the fact that I didn’t get paid out the points that I should’ve. But then, to add in that I lose my streak bonus on my weapons too and additional future point bonuses on wins that didn’t go offline, I’m being hosed. That’s why I say that they have to find a better way of determining these cheaters, proving more accurately if the user intended to go offline. They can still dock you, but if it appears that you only temporarily lost the connection, don’t strip the user of legit future bonuses and points!

    And just now I “went offline” during a regular fight on cellular. I’m thinking that this is even on Rovio’s servers. It happens too often. They need a better system to determine if a user has actually went offline.

    @huges 451?! I have the same, with only one more to max it out and I’m at 419. You’re saying that another would like increase it by 32?

    Yeah, i bought this thinking it was always 3x defense. The package doesnt specify that. I havent used it, or anything from the package, while attempting to reach Rovio and Apple about getting a refund. Yet, no one seems to want to respond after almost two full days. Sure, it says it in the exclusive slot, but not in the package itself. I only just saw all of that. I dont need anything for this event. Very displeased!

    Yeah, I use everyone’s silver or gold rated increaser myself. But, I was wondering about something more specific. For example, do you just try to get colors to drop near each other or only pay attention to near-match-4s and try to build a 5th off of it, or whatever. Is there something you’ve found that seems to work better than other methods?

    I may be the only one that really thinks about it so literally, but I try different strategies – not just relying on luck.

    No. 3000 defense with Chuck is impossible. 2000 defense with most characters is possible but rare. Chuck? Even 2000 isnt possible. Even for level 50.

    Not always. I agree that that happens every day. But, there are some situations that it doesnt recover. They birds start to fight but dont make contact. It doesnt freeze up because you can see the background pig blinking. Even trying to force yourself to go offline doesnt work.

    The video has been removed (rejected) due to some sort of terms violation. But, I’ve experienced that as well. I’d submit it to Rovio but the form is too long and tedious to fill out as often as it is necessary. Rovio really ought to come up with a better system for reporting issues. For example, allow them to store most of the information or submit directly from the app.

    Just wait. Last two challenges are- win 100 battles and start fever 200 times.

    @fred-geske

    I agree with you completely. But, then again, I still don’t see the point in having the pigs. Unless they release an island for just the pigs or something, I don’t understand why they’re even being pushed.

    Derf
    @fred-geske

    I thought so. Just trying to make sure everyone was clear. I’m not familiar with it, but I beat that level fairly quickly – without much opportunity to find Themis bug. That being said, I thought I had seen this once but wasn’t sure. You’d just have to submit it to Rovio and maybe they’ll do something.

    So, the new bird (with full health) has no need for additional health. So, it is ultimately lost points for the bird since it didn’t count as an attack and there’s no health to receive. Correct?

    Derf
    @fred-geske

    Since you already have the minion pig, you’ll be able to increase the level of that pig by 5.

    Now, to just get the mustache…
    I agree that it’s better to use the Golden Aqua most of the time. Once you get to about 7 wins, though, it’s time to switch.

    Try to stay low. Grab matches at the bottom more frequently and you’ll run out of moves less frequently. Just grab high for larger matches, if you can help it.

    Also, go steady – not too fast. Sound will help you understand the best timing as you can tell if you’re keeping streaks alive (rack up points). If you go too fast, you’ll end up with more gaps between matches and thus, broken streaks. Go steady and you’ll find your next match easier and get a rhythm.

    Seriously, no offense – but why do you always speak like you’ve never spoken English in your life? Are you being translated?

    Force the app to close & re-launch.

    I don’t think anyone cares about the Piggies, but I think that they’re doing this for a reason. I’m sure ship parts will be back soon enough. But, I almost guarantee they’re planning to give the piggies more purpose. Someone mentioned an island just for the pigs. That makes perfect sense. You could create a whole new set of islands for them. It has been a while since they had a new island, after all.

    I wonder… Do we have to pay to upgrade these to the 5 stars or are they already upgraded? The stats indicate differently on each accomplishment level.

    It said it was coming soon – hasn’t started yet. Saw the first one this morning, and those alerts are always a minimum of 12 hours prior to the event. I’d bet on it starting near midnight if you’re in the US.

    I had 36,867, final rank of 273 in this event.

    @fred-geske

    Thanks for that. I have one better, so now I’ll just sell off this bow so I can have the storage room.

    Derf
    @fred-geske

    You’re right! I was saving that bow in case I got red’s mast! What a crock!
