Thank you @grimlockdown Your time and effort are GREATLY appreciated!

A pixel of change in shot direction can result in multiple different results. Also, HOW the structure pieces impact each other affects scores. Every time a piece strikes another piece is more points, so more tumbling, bouncing, faliing increases scores.

@moifirst – This is a remarkably helpful chart! Thank for taking your time and using your spark resources to give us an excellent planning tool.😎😁

@grimlockdown – the graph is also very instructive😁 I also want to thank you for the Ranking TFs Using Spark Run list (I use the one on page 3 of that Forum topic). It has saved me from spending resources on “Absolutely the Worst”  TFs more than once. When my better TFs are completely upgraded to 15 and fully promoted, I will work on bringing the others in line.  I know your New Event posts always have accurate rankings. If (at some future point) you ever get an opportunity to post a copy of your more recent rankings in the other forum, it would be helpful in the extreme and greatly appreciated. 😁😎

I have an iOS tablet and an android tablet. I have the event AND a new War Pass season on the IOS, but nothing on the android.

[kpnanny]

Sometimes rebooting the device will work for a few runs, then the offers disappear.

[kpnanny]

Thanks! I’ll keep my fingers crossed…

@exientgreg

Is there any word on an update for Android users and/or the inability to log in on Facebook from EITHER platform?

Thanks…

[kpnanny]

Still no connection to Facebook.  On Android, instead of “developer error” it now just says “Unable to Connect”.  I have checked the Facebook account and renewed permission for the game, but it still will not connect.

FURTHER UPDATE. The first time I tried to purchase a character from the Offers I was kicked out and had to follow step 4 to get back in (without deleting and reinstallation). Oh well, at least I got my stuff back…  *sad face*

Update: I Love the Nest…

@tahtorak    Thanks to your airplane mode suggestion, I am back in my game AND logged in to Facebook with all my possessions!

I had already deleted my game and reinstalled (I’ve had to do this a few times for updates/new events that weren’t auto downloading) so it was critical that I have access to the game saved in Facebook. All my characters, coins, gems, Prime Pass etc were there, so the option of just playing without logging in was a no go. I knew the data was in FB, I just couldn’t get to it.

This will ONLY work and restore your stuff if you were logged into Facebook in the game before it crashed.

For everyone who already deleted their game, reinstalled, then tried to log in to Facebook and was kicked out after it said to restart to finish syncing, ignore 1-3 and skip to Step 4.

1. Delete game. Reboot device. Reinstall game. Reboot device.

2. With WiFi on, open game. At the first screen of the newly reinstalled game, where there is an arrow to start (as though you have never played at all) there is a login button in the bottom right corner.

(NOTE: These next steps will result in kicking you out, but that’s OK!)

3. Tap the login button. Continue to take the steps to log into Facebook. When the screen says you must restart to finish syncing, tap the green checkmark. When the next message pops up saying you need to restart (the one with NO checkmark), close the game.

4. Now, as @tahtorak said, put your device in airplane mode. Open the game. It will take you to the opening screen described in step 2. Without tapping anything, open your device settings and take airplane mode off. The game will continue to sync with Facebook, restore your stuff and you will be happy once more.  If my game crashes again I will certainly try step 4 before deleting and reinstalling.

@soldeed

True, but there is no issue with login into Facebook from my husband’s IOS platform, or either of our Android platforms…

[kpnanny]

@otter

Agree, as I also have an Android tablet and it works fine.  On the other hand, my husband has both an iPad Air 2 and an Android tablet, and both are working fine.  From my observations during deleting and reinstalling and trying various approaches, it appears to happen when trying to connect with Facebook.  I checked my Facebook account and this game is still in my “allowed” apps.

[kpnanny]

Finally able to download version 2.12.0.0 on iPad Air. Multiple glitches, even after deleting and reinstalling twice. Some TFs become invisible and unable to fire after exiting autotrain; TF will appear as washing machine when hit by rocket and become invisible again after reverting. Pigs disappear and reappear. Mortar towers become invisible (except life bar) when fired upon by TFs that aren’t invisible. Superion’s head vanishes while firing, and electrical ‘stream’ is not visible or working in its normal fashion.

[kpnanny]

Yeah … Hard to win if one has 400% promotion and others have 10 times that…

[kpnanny]

Energonicon pics on Android switched around (Reflectron looks like Lavatron). Pics are fine on iPad. Paid to increase storage on Android and storage was not increased. Husband played new event (Sunstreaker, including paying 10 gems for second round) on iPad and game showed Sunstreaker bundle options. Now event has totally disappeared from his game screen (NO event at all) and is showing Buddy Bundle options. He and I were in same group in Sunstreaker event and his nickname is still listed in 7th place in that group but he can’t play because it doesn’t show on his screen. Have tried rebooting etc, but no help.  Also, husband’s iPad still shows Prime Pass as “ends in 0 seconds” while my iPad shows “Next season in 5d etc…)”. On Android devices, screen showing incomplete pic (note incomplete Prime Pass tower, incomplete “coin pickup”,  missing TF under “Time left” indicator, etc).

[kpnanny]

Oddly – I have three Fire Roosters.  One was at 1X, one at 2X and one at 5X.  The 5X was last.  None were on 10 egg hatch tickets.

[kpnanny]

Thanks!

@admins let me reiterate the opinions of @abeggartoo This situation is no reflection on this wonderful site. I am still an enthusiastic nester. I consistently come back to the walk throughs and suggestions and for the general camaraderie of the nest and Bloated Pig. I can’t get into the arena either, but it is, after all, a game. One I not only didn’t pay for but one in which I have also not invested a penny.

Thanks for being here. Thanks for news updates. Thanks for tips and videos and forums (which are NOT complaint departments). Thanks for listening. Thanks for passing our feedback on to Rovio, regardless of their response or lack thereof.

[kpnanny]

Keep in mind that the teleporter pig can only dodge birds, not debris. He also can only dodge one bird, so the blue bird is excellent against him.

[kpnanny]

I would like to see some type of advantage earned from completing the first two levels of the Daily Challenge with high points or lots of birds left over. I understand not being able to use spells on the Boss level, but why don’t I get some type of advantage in the Boss level for having 5 birds left after Level 2?

[kpnanny]

Currently I can’t view a video for a free entry… Just get a black screen. It says my offer is loading, but won’t show the video. I am offered a “restart” arrow, but it won’t work.

[kpnanny]

Appalling. Simply appalling. I’m incredibly disillusioned…

[kpnanny]

I’ve been an AB fan/player since almost the beginning. When I heard about AB2 I was – to put it mildly – thrilled. It was billed as a sequel to the original and I was more than delighted to think I would have an opportunity to once again challenge my puzzle solving skills, my aim, my perseverance and patience…all those things that made the original Angry Birds the incredible game it was and is. Sadly, it appears that those of us who use the Kindle Fire tablets are red-headed stepchildren. The game is still not available in the Amazon Appstore…my opinion on this follows below.

After the original game, Seasons and Rio had offered the same challenges and mind exercises with frills, as did Space (in an entirely different and original manner, but the same basic format). Then came Star Wars. Similar, but no longer just a mental and visual challenge – suddenly, you needed map pieces and other extras to excel. Then came Power-ups in other games. Then came Epic. An epic money grabber. Sure, you COULD play without spending money, but it became more about the THINGS than about your skill. I played that for a while, beat all the original cave, spent too much money for gold coins and abandoned the game when I realized it had little to do with skill and a whole lot to do with money. There was a little mental involvement when I had to decide which potion or “extra” to use, but when I realized I was spending 80% of my time going back to the easy levels and playing them 100-200 times to build up the items I needed to make things and that I was TOTALLY bored, I quit. I haven’t played in more than 8 months, and have no intention of going back.

Then came Transformers. Fun to play, although extremely repetitive, and another one of those games that encourage you to plunk down $9.99 (Really? $10? Just to get “Jenga Mode”? How appalling is that?) for an allegedly better playing experience. Now, Transformers only works about 20% of the time. The other 80% of the time I am kicked out in the middle of level (sometimes after having used several hundred coins to upgrade my buddy – coins that I DON’T get back after being kicked out), unable to get into the program, kicked out when I watch a video to “Boost my Buddy” or “Double my Rewards”, kicked out when trying to finish a mission, graphic errors (invisible assassins or weapons, or freezing to the extent that a hard reboot is required) – a total exercise in frustration. This is not an occasional problem – it’s been ongoing for weeks.

So to get back to my original paragraph, I was REALLY excited to think we were getting an actual “sequel” to the original. Instead, I find that I’m relieved to be unable to download the game. I think I won’t, even when it’s available.

[kpnanny]

@wrw01
Thanks for the suggestions…this is a little different. I have also experienced the “occasional” glitch that kicks one out or kills you with invisible enemies :) and take it in stride – a reboot usually solves those glitches for a period of time. This particular glitch occurs each and EVERY time we play any video (ad) for any reason. I have force closed the app and cleared the cache, but it doesn’t solve the problem.

This glitch is occurring even if nothing else is open and immediately after a reboot.

[kpnanny]

@optimus_pig
I’m a little confused about the alleged “cost” of watching videos. As long as I’m playing on a Wi-Fi connection, it doesn’t cost me anything but time. I’m paying for the Wi-Fi whether I use it or not. If Rovio gets paid .03-.06 per video I watch, they are getting paid by the advertisers, not me, and that is the advertisers’ choice.

[kpnanny]

I would like to be able to change which class of bird I am using at the entrance to the level, without having to go back to camp.

As @marioandsonic says, I would like to not have to rely on friends. I also have no FB friends who play this game and therefore must rely on Piggy McCool or play with two birds, AND

I would like to be able to buy lucky coins with snoutlings, even if it took 1000 snoutlings for 20 coins. I actually don’t have a problem purchasing coins, as I understand that is how they make money, but I feel that the prices are extreme.

I disagree with those who want the pigs to stay the same every time you play a level. Since it is necessary to replay levels often to earn what you need, the change up in pigs is welcome. In addition, the robber pig pops up here and there for extra snoutlings – if the pigs stayed the same, people would just play the same level over and over to build up those snoutlings :)

Finally, as stated by others, when I FINALLY earn enough Lucky Coins to spin the Golden Pig Machine, and FINALLY fill the Rainbow Bar for my set item, it is monumentally disappointing to get another dragontooth. I can understand getting repeat items on other spins, but on the guaranteed set item spin, I should always get something new.
