hack1ge@hack1geI’ve played for 2 days – I recommend you just delete the game. The gameplay is fun but you get stuck at too low of a level and cant upgrade your birds so you can’t progress. Also, arena is comical – im silver 2 and constantly get matched with players 20+ levels higher with 5* birds. All they want is your money which is clear after playing for a few days.
hack1ge@hack1geThis game just came out in NA and its already ruined LOL.
The arena is crazy frustrating and so is the damn time bound play. You can play for like 15 mins then have to wait for timers.
Its sad that all mobile game developers are headed this direction as a way to monetize their crappy games. The funny thing is they don’t realize that they could be making way more money getting small amounts of money out of a large number of people. They make things super expensive and try to get all the money they can out of a game before releasing a new one.
I just started this game but could see it would be a hell of a lot of fun if it didn’t have so much pay2play and greed in the design.
hack1ge@hack1geThe dungeon is probably going to be weekly and the mini map will still exist but you won’t be able to farm stone guard because there is no event.
hack1ge@hack1geI am not even sure what the rating means? Is it basically just a gear score?
hack1ge@hack1geAll I have to say is F this objective:
win arena battles and knock out 3 birds while they are attacking your banner
EDIT: just saw the cupcake trap trick – I was trying this with just chuck Mage which wasn’t good
hack1ge@hack1geCan anyone confirm if the GP timezone exploit still works in the new release?
hack1ge@hack1ge@killerkea yeah I guess it’s possible – I was at 125k last week with steady grinding but I just had a guy jump 40k in 2 hours. I never lose and I don’t even earn that much. There are definitely still folks cheating – I just am not sure how.
hack1ge@hack1geMy league this week seems to either be really competitive or full of cheaters. How is everyone else faring? I feel like they are cheating with objective resets but I have no way to prove it since I see the jumps only after I sleep.
hack1ge@hack1geFor comparison – I don’t know how to reset objectives so have purely been grinding wins (I basically never lose a battle and never have to dodge opponents) and I have accumulated 76,000 pts so far this week. I did get double objectives at the start since there is a 4 hour gap between the end of the pvp week and my daily objectives reset.
I would argue that anyone with more than this either has really played an absolute ton or they are cheating.
I clearly have some folks in my ladder who are resetting objectives but luckily no one is altering their pts as of now.
hack1ge@hack1geJust report them that is what I am doing. It’s easy to tell cheaters – I never lose a round and played for a very long time this weekend and folks are 30k higher than me.
hack1ge@hack1geI definitely have cheaters still in my league. I had grinded to first then the next thing I know the guy ahead me has 20k more in less than an hour. I hope they force upgrades soon.
hack1ge@hack1geDoes anyone know if the PVP set items are level scaled? For example have we compared whether the set items or any items for that matter are based on the birds level when found or are they just flat rates.
It would really be annoying to have to grind more pvp set items when they increase levels as the drop rate on those things is atrocious.
hack1ge@hack1ge@larry you have to remember that folks may get reset not intentionally. I know how to reset objectives but I haven’t this round – however I did have my game crash and objectives reset so I played them mostly because I was bored. I know one other person in my league had the same issue as they were online when the server hiccuped and we both jumped 5500 shortly there after.
If they fix the cheaters there are still going to be random situations where it resets.
By the way I know the lag switch mechanism and it works 100% of the time. I have shared all the details with a Rovio and have even had the developers come back and ask questions about how to replicate it. This leads me to believe they are going to fix that too which is good.
hack1ge@hack1gethere really is a simple fix – just track server side how many dailies you have done. It’s really not that hard because right now all 3 of the known exploits are taking advantage of the client being what is driving the logic on objective resets. This might not cover 100% of the cheaters but the majority would be stopped.
hack1ge@hack1geI agree – I am 24k and have not cheated at all and have had no resets.
It’s relatively easy with decked out birds to just play and win for hours on end.
I played for 8 hours the other day and didn’t lose a single match.
hack1ge@hack1geAs a heads up there is an exploit here other than using multiple devices. I literally have one ipad and can reset my objectives at will 100% of the time. I haven’t been cheating unless in a league with cheaters which happened last round.
@amslimfordy If you have inside contacts I’ll gladly share it with you. I don’t want to post publicly because I am actually in a league right now with only 1 cheater and 4 of us having good competition which is actually making this enjoyable this round.
hack1ge@hack1geSo do you only get dropped if you don’t play? Or do you get dropped for being in the bottom? I don’t see any down arrows on the ladders which I would expect if they were dropping the bottom 3.
This will get very interesting at the high level ladders when the entire group is competitive.
I guess we will see.
hack1ge@hack1geSo the issue occurs naturally only upon login and only if they are having server issues. If you login / logout often you are more likely to catch it when they have server issues but if you are logged in and playing when they have issues nothing happens.
There are ways to force the issue by making the game think it’s having issues which is how the folks are getting high scores on demand.
I’ve noticed that there must be some sort of restart on the Abe servers around 9AM EST because I got another natural reset this morning. The folks in my ladder are not going to be happy as I now have a sizable lead. I do think it would be much more fun and competitive if this wasn’t occurring so I keep pushing updates to my ticket with them to fix it. I haven’t gotten a single response back yet though and the tickets been open for a week plus.
hack1ge@hack1geI just got a normal reset this morning probably due to server latency or a reboot on Rovios side.
I guess it is still possible for people to have slightly elevated scores not due to intentional cheating. It reset my tries and objectives so it seems to be the same issue.
hack1ge@hack1geLike I said there is a simple way to reset your objectives without paying LC or anything. I could have 500,000 pts if I had the time to sit there and do the 3 objectives and reset all day. It also resets your number of tries so it’s basically infinite.
I am sure I am not the only one who knows how to do it but I am not using it right now. My league has atleast one cheater because right after reset he had 15k pts which is impossible.
Once Rovio fixes this we should be on a level playing field minus the pay to win for resetting tries.
hack1ge@hack1ge@ajwrightajwrigh that’s just stupid – pvp is a competition why wouldn’t you stack your birds when you sign off?
I play a fair amount, more than most and I would say if you average more than 4000 pts extra per day in addition to the dailies you are either getting resets or cheating. I don’t re-roll for rewards and I earned 3800 today from about 6 hours of non dedicated play just grinding arena wins.
hack1ge@hack1geI have a ticket in documenting exactly how the exploit works and what they need to do to fix it. Hopefully they will address it in the next release so we are all on a level playing field.
During the event I found that logging in and out would occassioanlly reset my dailies so I took advantage.
Now in the silver league I am forced to use the exploit just to keep up with all the other cheaters which is so stupid.
The exploit is basically easy enough that you can do it at will – I could have 100,000+ points easily in a day.
hack1ge@hack1geThis is inline with what I was seeing the other day. I would see the game hang at loading and then I would reset it and when I logged in the objectives would be reset. I had it happen like 4-5 times during the course of a period and went from like 15k to 60k so this is definitely how folks are getting so high. I wasn’t doing it intentionally and it kept happening because I was queue dodging hacked teams in arena by logging out and logging in. I kept running into teams with rank 99 or 9999.
I hope they fix it because I would like some good fair competition and not have to resort to cheating just to keep up.
With the event ending, the game no longer does this naturally so if people jump up significantly in your ladder then report them as they are now doing it intentionally.
hack1ge@hack1geHas anyone seen objective resets since they ended the event? I can’t get one with the normal way I was getting it before?
