I’ve enjoyed being part of the beta! I hope when it’s released I get to find Shrapnel, though… ?

[mcc8206]

@dragonofheart73 even after the update I’m not finding Schrapnel. ?

I like the bird make-overs, and happy to see coins and gems now added to inventory when sending out a scout.

One thing I am noticing though is that the coins on the reward screen is less than coins noted on the battle screen. Also, when a treasure chest is won in battle, the chest itself doesn’t appear on the reward screen. Although it appears that I still get whatever reward was inside the chest.

[mcc8206]

Here’s something weird. The final pig in this battle ended up outside of the arena. The only bird who could reach him was the activated white bird – one of my least strong birds. I finally got him but it took a few tries after I captured this screen shot and I was hanging on by a thread at that point.

[mcc8206]

I generally like the premise of the game. I do think the reward math needs to be improved quite a bit though.

Graphics are beautiful. Gameplay, once understood, is terrific.

I hope there is a risk-free run through for new users when it rolls out.

My final thought, though – this game was not quite ready for beta. I’m not at all a game developer but I am deeply involved in product development and roll outs. I am really grateful to be part of the this testing, but I think more refinement is needed before another test.

I believe this can be a successful game, but as a beta, would like to see it through. Being stopped becaucause of the Shrapnel issue means I can’t provide proper feedback.

I’m sorry, @rocketfury I tried to keep it happy!

@rocketfury

It has been 2 days now and Shrapnel hasn’t turned up in Bird Town so I can’t progress. Am I missing some super-secret knowledge about how to find him?

Also, the Arena seems to continue to be a bit buggy…

[mcc8206]

I’m having the arena issue as well.

Also, it’s been 24 hours now and Shrapnel has not turned up in Bird Town.

@kingpiggy087 @smwforever45
I just reached the area and I’m not seeing Shrapnel.

Also, one of the tasks involved yellow scout markers, even though all of the markers are orange. This didn’t prevent me from completing the task though.

[mcc8206]

I guess I just needed to complain about it. A scout marker just showed up in the red area and it did register as a task.

I’m making progress in baby steps… ?

[mcc8206]

@smwforever45
I had thought about that. So far, I haven’t had any markers show up in the red area and I’ve tried all of the other areas without luck.

I’ll just keep waiting to see if one (or 3) eventually appears in the red area…

[mcc8206]

Well this is annoying. I’m at Runaway Train and I have 3 tasks in order to proceed, one of which is to send out 3 scouts. I’ve done 6 scout missions, but none are registering. Until this is fixed, there’s not much I can do.

[mcc8206]

Thanks @dragonofheart73 I just experienced having to hit a KO-ready pig THREE times before the bugger finally expired.

[mcc8206]

I don’t know if this a bug or user incompetence but I’ve noticed that frequently when my target has “KO” over its head that it doesn’t actually die. I’m noticing this especially with my activated black or white birds, both of which have a little wiggle room for a slightly shaky shot.

Has anyone else seen this? Or is it just me? ?

[mcc8206]

Edit to my last comment above: I discovered that if I tap a scout marker when I’m out of scout “lives” I get the screen below. I had no idea (and I’m probably the last to know) that you could refill lives. Also had been wondering what those little blue “apple-bombs” were for. :P

Anyway, it’s nice to have the free, “watch a video” option.

[mcc8206]

I’ve submitted this via the form, but will share here too. I’m at chapter 12 but before I can proceed, I need to collect 5 salt shakers and 10 buckets of salt. I picked up all 5 salt shakers in one mission, however I only get one bucket of salt per mission. At that rate, it will take 2 or more days to collect all of the buckets.

It’s possible that there are multiple buckets to be collected all at once via the pyramid, unfortunately I can’t seem to get completely through those battles, so I wouldn’t know. ?

[mcc8206]

@dragonofheart73 after trying many, many times yesterday, I finally made it past chapter 10 this morning, but only by using my free revive.

I think the Angry Birds team needs to tweak the rewards formula relative to resources required to advance.

I don’t expect to pass chapter 11 until tomorrow, when I get another free revive. ?

[mcc8206]

@dallasreds I posted about this earlier today in the Anything Goes! topic. Others say the coins and jewels show up later, but as I’ve played tonight, I’m not convinced that’s true for me.

[mcc8206]

Thanks @dragonofheart73 and @thealarm. I did notice that my banks increased from time to time, but never when I saw the new coins and gems at the scout markers. I just didn’t correlate that it was a delayed posting.

@thealarm – I’m proud of myself for figuring out how to post the picture today. ?
I added the picture to my ABN album and then copied and pasted the “Embed (med)” link.

You’ll see a long web address bracketed by html codes but once you submit your post, it will magically turn into a picture.

Good luck!

[mcc8206]

Does anyone know where the coins & gems go when you land on a scout marker? They don’t seem to add to my coin/gem bank.

[mcc8206]

When I open a scout mission, I often see gems and coins appear. Where do they go? It doesn’t change the value of my coin/gem bank. Not sure if this is a bug or just me being unobservant.

[mcc8206]

Thanks @smwforever45
I should have realized that they could be bought. Will need to budget my gems a bit better!

[mcc8206]

@rocketfury I second @blisscoy. Also, did we determine if there’s a way to post a link to a screenshot on the form?

[mcc8206]

@bad-piggies-2 the marshmallows are in scout missions. Unfortunately, not all of the missions have marshmallows so you’ll have play different missions in order to find them.

[mcc8206]

@mika-porspakka I received a Skill Totem today (hatched). Is that what you’re referring to? It can only be used to level up, not as a team member.

I haven’t done anything with it since I’m down to 3 coins. I need to do a better job budgeting…

[mcc8206]

@rocketfury I am curious to know if it’s intentional that number and location of the scout sites changes every time you go to the playing map?

[mcc8206]

@smwforever45 @redfury
Thank you both! Apparently I’ve already contributed, although I don’t remember doing it. ?

Follow up question: what is the actual benefit to the clan?
