• It’s obvious what they are doing. They are trying to get people to spend money to try to get them during the event – either that or you won’t get them at all. Same reason they are running the hat events a lot more often.

    For those wondering whether you are playing bots or real people I think I have the answer. A few times now I’ve played arena games against people in my league for that week. Their frame, name and pic matched but fp was different. Below the master league the fp of your opponent is manipulated so that it gradually increases as you get a higher o…[Read more]

    @paulo I did the feather frenzy before collecting my arena end of season rewards and I got double the amount so if that wasn’t meant to happen rovio can add that to their long list of bugs 🤣

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 2 months ago

    Yeah and it is very suspicious that usually my opponent fills up their meter just that one extra time more than me. Re: the clan battles it looks like we are about to lose our fourth battle in a row which has never happened before and every time it is against clans with quite a lot higher fp than us. So I wouldn’t be surprised if that is now a…[Read more]

    I agree with you Jim apart from one thing. If you have to deliberately lose to get yourself in a position to win which you admit you do and I do as well that is crap. You shouldn’t have to cheat the system to try and win anything. At the moment the vast majority of people aren’t doing what we do but eventually more and more people will I sus…[Read more]

  • @dearg-mor no need to thank me for my help. Just don’t expect any in future 👍

  • @rgc all changes are targeted primarily at those who already spend money I think. Your average casual gamer will never spend money on it and they know that. The new arena I think is designed to pummel those who already pay to get top of MEBC league to see if they will do the same on the arena leagues. I think a fairly small minority pay huge…[Read more]

  • That level is easy if you don’t mind waiting around for pig to lose all their health. Get him in the endless loop. But it isn’t endless actually as each time he loses a tiny bit of health. So just get on with something else for about 10 minutes, come back and he should be toast.

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 2 months ago

    @rgc I’ve seen that loads of times. I’m guessing it’s where players have paid gems for a rematch and that’s their improved score so it shows their progress on their first run but only updates their score at the end. But the game is so rigged it who knows.

  • They aren’t killing their own game though because the top guys in my bootcamp league complete the DC and KPP every day. I know this because when I complete both I finish in the top 20 of my league. If I don’t then I always finish outside the top 50. And it’s the same people at the top every day and some have a lower fp than me so they must be sp…[Read more]

    Now I’ve played this arena a bit more (and I should’ve realised this a lot sooner but oh well) what they are trying to do is replicate the bootcamp competitiveness on the arena. Because in my bootcamp league it is pretty obvious a lot of them pay gems to get the DC and KPP completed every day so I guess they think people will pay to try and get…[Read more]

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 3 months ago

    Well on the face of it I don’t get how this update will make them more money for the reason you said but we will find out soon enough because if they don’t change it then it’s obviously raking it in. I have got competitive in the past on the old arena and spent gems on more tickets (not money though) but I just can’t be arsed with it anymore…[Read more]

    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Yeah can confirm that you can still get demoted from legendary league. Not gonna try it for master league as don’t wanna risk getting stuck in there. My opinion now is that master league is real player scores but anything below that league is bots. Regardless it’s now boring to play so I just quickly do the streak eac…[Read more]

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 3 months ago

    So if this is right and you can no longer be demoted that means that by playing normally i.e. by not deliberately losing doesn’t that mean that there is going to be a hell of a lot of people in the master league at the end of the season? And also what happens at the start of the next season? Do you start in the same league or does everyone start i…[Read more]

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 3 months ago

    I got to the master league and then deliberately lost a few times and got demoted. If that’s not happening anymore they’ve further tweaked it as they’ve noticed people losing on purpose. That’s good to know then I will make sure I don’t get promoted. It’s ridiculous what you have to do to get around their shit.

    I just don’t get why anyone would…[Read more]

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 3 months ago

    It’s not whether you have the ability- it doesn’t matter how good you are, if you’re up against someone with a much higher fp than you, you don’t stand a hope in hell of beating them unless they mess up and you can bet that players who mess up won’t be your opponent as the game is rigged to pretty much always put you up against players who didn’…[Read more]

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 3 months ago

    @maverick you will find out how tough it is once you get up to master league. I agree that the legendary league is easy which is why I’m purposely losing to stay in there. Once you get to master league you won’t find it so easy and you will constantly be put against opponents with a much higher fp than you. I wish you good luck because you are cer…[Read more]

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 3 months ago

    The tip I put on here before still works for me. Still doing the streak pretty easily every day. I do have fairly high fp though which probably helps. Definitely stay away from the master league though. Nigh on impossible and I think the legendary league streak rewards are better anyway but then I’m after black pearls rather than feathers.

  • guava564 replied to the topic New Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 3 years, 4 months ago

    It does work at the moment as that’s what I’m doing and I can get the streak every day again now very easily. Then I just purposely lose for the rest of the day. The downside is you’re not gonna win any weekly tournaments but if you drop low enough and have plenty of tickets you can win possibly for a few weeks in a row later on. They might put a…[Read more]
