I’m not watching any ads until the change is rolled back either.
My arena play has dropped by 50% and I expect it’ll decrease further.

Discussed in the 10th anniversary thread.
Rovio have pulled some strokes in the past but this beggars belief – it’ll kill the Arena, especially with the current “too hard to win without using all spells” mode which pops up very frequently even at level 1, since a couple of updates ago.

@flinx and guava – I’m in agreement can’t believe Rovio have done this.

Not worth the effort with totally neutered birds for me.

Nope doesn’t work can’t float Stella out that way went off to the top right and came down from out of screen.
Had 8 birds at this today on KPP – Stella first – barely half damage – won’t waste my time again.

The latest twist Rovio seem to have added is non firing Matilda and Grey, happening quite often at the moment.

Mine was closed there.

@psygaz – I’ve now lost 7 in a row on the first step – several times the opponent suddenly jumped 10000 or at the end.
Rovio seem intent on driving players who won’t pay away.

Rovios impossible scenarios continue with this no exit gem.
14 birds at this over two goes – not even half damage and that’s with virtually everything falling on the pig.

garethw replied to the topic Daily Challenge – current difficulty in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
Never got close for the past three days.
Rovio seems to have made everything in the game virtually impossible for me recently.
garethw replied to the topic The Nest (Hat) Adventure in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
3 pigs every day by level 9 at the latest.
For the last few weeks the game has been awful everywhere – another couple of weeks of continual crap and I’ll delete it and move on.
garethw replied to the topic Rowdy Rumble Tournament in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
Opened it up and was posted against someone with an impossible score for me to match. A couple of birds to prove that and out.
The game has been rancid for me for the last month – I’m a week or two away from deleting it and moving on.
Been playing for over two years and am getting lower scores in the last month than eighteen months ago.

@NAS – the reason for trying to stay in the Diamond (and tbh it’s only been a real issue once) is that one promotion and you’re in the LL.
Historically it seems you’ve got about a 35-40% chance in the DL/LL of a top three with 300-400 or so, and more of them are wins than 2nd or 3rd.
In the LL that’s potentially 1000 gems, one or two of those a…[Read more]

I can beat it two or maybe three times on the trot and then get a pretty much impossible one , closed exits etc.
garethw replied to the topic Arena relegation in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
@NAS – I mentioned my limits for trying to win Legendary/Diamond league back in the big Arena thread – 400 or so for the LL though I went to 499 once (which was too much effort tbh), 300-350 tops for the Diamond assuming I’ve got the time on the Saturday.
My q here was really to try and find out how much of an outlier the score needed to avoid r…[Read more]

You normally get a run or two with these events but not this time.
Not been past level 10 and that took two pigs and the video on the 3rd.
garethw replied to the topic Arena relegation in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
I had time so bumped my score up to 250 or so yesterday afternoon, which was enough by 20.
Out of interest these were the top three – either cheaters or people with no kind of lives at all I’d have thought?

garethw replied to the topic The Nest (Hat) Adventure in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
The game hates me at the moment – three goes three days each time three pigs by level 8 or before.
garethw replied to the topic Arena relegation in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 2 years ago
Well having just lost three on the trot at level one – including the last where I had more FP and I took a full set of birds – against an opponent with none – by 15000 points it’s obvious the game is determined to relegate me.
Never seen such a ridiculous fix with bombs doing nothing, reds not pushing anything over, and a plethora of micro pigs o…[Read more]

Quick q – what’s the most you’ve had to score to avoid relegation from the Diamond (or any lower) league?
I’m in a nightmare one this week, the top one was in 4 figures by day two, third is over 650, 12th is currently on 200, I’m a bit adrift, knowing I wasn’t going to get promotion quite early on, I’ve just been playing free goes and the odd sma…[Read more]
