The arena is easy until you get to the master league at which point it puts you up against players with a massive fp advantage so it’s pointless in playing and what then is the point of paying 60 gems to replay against the same player when you have no chance of winning? I can’t see how they will make more money doing it this way as what idiot is…[Read more]

The only way they’ll change it back if it makes less money than the old arena. That just shows the disdain they have for the players. Everyone should stick together and not play the arena but they won’t unfortunately. I never pay on there anyway and I certainly won’t be starting after this update. Lots of people are obviously still playing it th…[Read more]

I always get put against players with a much lower fp. I have lost a few but hardly any. As my skill points go up I can see I’m gradually being put against higher fp players but they are still way lower than me so I win most of the time at the moment.

well the birds matched up on the old arena where for example they’d use the same bird  I was…[Read more]

I am currently only playing the arena each day to get the streak then I can’t be bothered with it. I’ve heard people saying the opponents are bots but I didn’t believe it but now I do because today in every single arena match I played over various levels I saw that my opponent used exactly the same birds in exactly the same order regardless of le…[Read more]

I’ve got nothing against spending some money on games and have done in the past but just as I wouldn’t bet money on an event that I know is rigged I can’t bring myself to spend money on a game that is rigged and AB2 is totally rigged.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Yeah I’d class that as much more than the average player’s fp on there so yeah you will most of the time get someone with lower fp. If my league is anything to go by then the really high fp guys are racking up huge point scores on the arena so unless you are playing it non stop like they are you are pretty unlikely to…[Read more]

Do you have quite a high fp? If you do then the odds are stacked in your favour as given you are paired with players on a similar number of points it is effectively pairing you up with someone totally random fp wise so you are much more likely to get put against someone with a lower fp if that makes sense.

They do have a frame it just doesn’t show when they come up as an opponent I.e. it’s a bug.

they have also broken the bit where it shows what clan players are in. We’ve kicked quite a few players from our clan but it still says there are in our clan and some come up as leaders of the clan.

The pairing of opponent is done by how many points you b…[Read more]

When they announced that players would be matched up on skill level I thought great it would put me up against players of a similar FP but no it means you play against players who have accumulated a similar number of points in the arena. So not skilled related in the slightest. This actually helps me as I have quite a high FP so most of the time…[Read more]

And now they are back with the latest update

Lol well after now playing with no mighty eagles as extra birds I have decided it is better that way as now you don’t come up against other players in the arena where they get a mighty eagle causing you to lose.

I don’t think they have thought this through. One of those that looks good on paper but in practice doesn’t make any more money and m…[Read more]

Anyone else noticed you don’t get mighty eagle as an extra card anymore during a level? Another small twist of the money grab screw.

It’s no surprise really that they are pushing for more money. Have a look at how rovio are doing on the stock exchange. They are tanking. I don’t think they are making much money on any of their other games either. They just aren’t very popular. So prepare to get hit in the wallet harder and harder on ab2 going forward.

It is pretty obvious that a lot of people are prepared to spend gems/money to complete the DC for that extra bird for MEBC. The extra bird was obviously only added as well because clearly before that people weren’t bothered about completing the DC whereas they’ve noted that people are competitive and want to finish higher up the board so why not…[Read more]

Well I’m not upgrading any of my hats I’m buying all the other stuff and then feathers. Your slingshot is only upgraded on the basic set so the only advantage in using it on hat upgrades is a short term boost to your fp. Once the event is over you are back to what you were and the upgraded hats are now useless. I’d rather have a permanent boost…[Read more]

I see that spells have now gone again from the tower and common chests since the new fairy hats came in. If it doesn’t revert back after the event I will be deleting the game.

This has come about because of the complaints that last time it was too hard to get the coins. So they’ve added them in and got rid of spells to try and make us buy the…[Read more]

A slight correction to what I said before. You could say the 1 chilli highlighted as a rare card is a bug in that I betcha what happened there is the developer who removed the 3 chillis and replaced it with a single chilli didn’t change the chest from rare to common so that is a bug I suppose. What I meant though was that was intentional to r…[Read more]

I thought it was just the mighty eagle spells and the 3 chillis which are now rare. I’ve not had a mighty eagle spell for 4 days and counting now. I really don’t know why they keep messing around with this. I only play the arena when I have enough spells and if not I don’t bother. These are not bugs. This is intentional fiddling trying to see w…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I do hope that is correct that it is a bug however I doubt that it is. If it comes back it will only be because revenue has dropped.</p>
By all accounts AB2 is the last major money spinner for Rovio. All their other games don’t have high participation from users and apparently they are struggling to come up with i…[Read more]

I’ve noticed our clan position has jumped up about 100 places since the update which I’m guessing is because lots of people have left already.
