MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesI was level 45 at beginning of cave 16 then grew up to 50 by beginning of 17 (with some xp potions).
Had paladin with dragon breath set and wizard with phoenix, both class 10 (these are my only two though, all the others are around class 8, 3 more class 9 and 7 class 7. Not a hardcore player :p
(And yeah belong to the anti-Facebook community;) )
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesHad drdffrdd whatever at 5025 only 7 minutes after the event started so definitely cheater this one
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesDid all the levels for 16 and 17 with paladin and wizard (like most of the other caves) 3 stars everywhere except for the boss of 17, got 1 star with these 2 and 2 stars with a pig ally.
Needed veggie cakes though for cave 17 :p
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesI was not talking about bonus damage (just mentioned it in the end but just to underline the strength of the team), but about what primal set does.
It says 45% more damage from Red per negative effect, and stone guard says 150% damage if a pig has a negative effect.
So yeah what I’m describing works, you apply 3 negative effects on enemies then hit hard with red, and the fact that skulkers’ one adds 30% more damage makes red even more powerful with Stone Guard.
The rest is just bonus, not related to primal set
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesWell to me the primal set would be ultra powerful with this team:
Stone guard + primal set
Princess + doom set
Skulked + beepStone guard does 150% damage if there’s negative effect.
So :
Turn 1 : apply stone guard aura to himself, attack random with Mathilda so everyone will attack red => two negative effects already on enemies (1 from aura once they attack red, 1 from Mathilda as they’ll all focus on red).
Next apply skulkers on himself: not only piggies will receive 30% more damage but they’ll also have another neg effect on themselves.
Turn 2 : apply skulkers on princess, If you’re lucky at least 1 pig will get stunned from doom, adding another neg effect and receiving 200% damage, heal red with Mathilda, then attack with red.So when red attacks every other turn pigs might receive 45% more damage times 3 neg effects + 30% more damage thanks to skulkers + 150% damage due to SG then if one got stunned 45% (neg effect) + 200% damage on top of that !
Add each bird’s chance to deal bonus damage with their respective weapon, princess’s ability to heal, this seems to me a powerful combination, especially vs a cave boss.
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesSame here
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesSome conclusions are drawn a bit fast I think, like the weekly gold reward being 20lc or riot being on day 8.
I think it’s just gonna be different each week and end of July is just like this.
Who knows for instance there could not be a week with 40lc or on the contrary a week with nothing?
Or a weekly increase/decrease?To me it’s just wait and see for next week when August should be unveiled, if there’s a pattern coming out or if it’s just different every week every month.
So far I’m quite disappointed (bugs, rainbow bar having been reduced after update, GP disappearing when I thought they would keep it on top of the daily reward, etc…), but let’s just see if in the end this new system could not be better ;)
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesThanks for the input!
Thing is I don’t have FB so I can’t really borrow friends, I made it so far with 2 birds most of the time but this level is quite a pain in the ass :p
Can’t find the right combination even with pig allies.
That would work with new cure potions but they’re quite expensive and for now saving LC for thunderbird class…I’m level 45 and class 8/9 for most of the birds
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesCan’t get past the 3 ice shamans of cave 13 level 7, 2nd or 3rd wave…
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesHe’s on mine to with around 11,000.
1st is a guy named alexandr with 11800.
I’m around 4,000…
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesI was talking about the leaderboard not the opponents ;)
So you can be level 45 and one of your friend level 12, you would compete on the score not against your friend as an opponent.
all three options would not require the current opponent system to change (randomized more or less based on your points), which is quite fair I think as you can roughly say if you have a chance in the battle or not.
I was just talking about the cheaters with millions of medals in your leaderboard, that you have to deal with, whereas overpowered opponents in a fight you can skip them easily ;)
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesRight now : win 5 with thunderbird, which of course I don’t have (just got sea dog during the last event after months of saving lc…).
From first position I’m now 9 and certainly won’t make it to the next league because of this stupid system.
They really should implement a “borrowing system”, like borrowing for free a rank 1 class you don’t own, or for xxx snoutlings a rank Z, etc…
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesYesterday I had what I think is a bug in the arena (although I wish this kind of bug would come up more often) :
At some point I was to battle against just a level 1 knight.
It had 126xp and the banner not a lot.
So of course it was fun and easy (no need to mention one-shot…) but wondering if it already happened to some of you?
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesThe only way to me to avoid cheaters would be, when a new event starts, to have a tab popping up (like level up one or many others in the game) and asking :
“Do you want to :
– generate a ghost leaderboard
– compete with friends
– generate random leaderboard
”As your friends presumably won’t cheat and ghosts neither will do, that would make it more fair and 100% cheater-free for options 1 and 2.
Option 1 makes it more fair for people like me who don’t like/want/support/whatever…/ Facebook.
Option 2 would make it 100% at the same time more fun and secure than the actual system, and very suitable for FB users. A good way to achieve that would be, if you choose this option, to either randomize friends or tick-and-pick the ones you want. Whether or not they accept, their actual scores would be in your leaderboard even if they did not pick you in theirs. If you don’t have enough friends or don’t pick enough then the rest of the leaderboard would be ghosts.
Option 3 is the current system, meaning for the sake of thrill and challenge you can take the risk to compete with cheaters, but as well with ghosts or friends or random people like it’s the case now.
Well that’s my point of view at least ;)
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesTrue!
Actually I’m glad they raised the level to 45 now and that the new dungeon gives 10LC because without that by the end of the event and given my current stamps I would have reached 272 LC savings, which would have pissed me off a little bit haha :p : I would have been able to buy seadog right after the event and missed a possible upgrade of thousands mastery for it.
Now thanks to that I’ve finally been able to buy it after months of savings (and sometimes wasting LC on GPM… Which I won’t do anymore unless they make set items become independent of the level you get them) and will upgrade it a bit faster thanks to the wheel.
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesIt’s even less, I was level 41, when I got to 42 attack increased on my birds by +3 and health by less than 20.
Now I’m 45 but not much increased…
Most of my classes are rank 7 or 6, few are 8. I guess when you’re 10 maybe the increase is more consistent.These level up increases definitely should be more relevant, honestly it would be more fun to have a real gap between levels, especially when pigs do hit way more.
I mean, what’s the point of spending hours to level up if it’s just to get a few attack/health points and not see much difference (especially in the caves) when you get hit hard?
MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesHi ! :)
Well I would wish “fair” improvements :
– set items being independent of the level
=> not having to get them again when the level grows, it’s just unrealistic! Even getting them all for a set level could take at least a couple of years if you use only free rolls, and sometimes LC during the rainbow riot, so having to upgrade them every time the level cap is increased is just an endless struggle unless you pay actual money.
At least they could be given matched, given the time it takes to get one…– having a set item “grid” that is filled when you get a new one
=> so that the randomness of the golden pig machine just acts on the ones you don’t have ; it’s already a pain in the ass to get them, so having them doubled and sometimes 3 times in a row is just getting on lots of our nerves I think…– being able to trade both ways
=> e.g. Say for example an object costs xxx snoutlings or LC, well being able to get these if you have the object.
I mean for example with 200 LC you can get 3000 snoutlings, then it would be fair to get 200LC for 3000 snoutlings, given how hard it is to get the LC…– give us back the Replay button!
=> playing a cave takes already too much time when you don’t have FB, then having only 3 free “friends” you can borrow every 12 hours is ridiculous, but on top of that if you lose and can’t replay anymore then you have to wait for 12 hours and pray to be lucky the next time and not do a silly move or whatever…– either getting rid of this 12 hours limit for the friend borrowing in caves, or for those who don’t have FB (and don’t want to, for reasons I’m not gonna go through here), being able to play with at least 3 of our birds.
– having a more fair mastery system
=> unless you pay actual money to get LC, or play 8 hours a day or so to farm and get snoutlings, it just takes too much time to get to class 10.
I’ve been playing since July, around 30min/1h a day, some weeks not, some days 3 hours, and I’ve just 4 rank 8 hats, most of the rest 6 and 7.
When I see some of you that have already taken Stone guard to rank 10 I’m just wondering how many hours a day or actual money it took to get all the rest of the birds class 10?
I think the amount of mastery to get to a higher rank should be at least divided by 2, but just my opinion.– getting rid of the 3 losses allowed per day in the arena
=> With cheaters and random coin toss it is just not very “motivating” (we’d say that in French, doesn’t know if it makes sense?) and I’m stuck at wood league since a while and so I almost never play the arena.
Now since the update it’s been a bit more fair and so far I have no one in the leaderboard, maybe just wait and see for next week but I’d still enjoy a bit more playing without these kind of limits.– arena : when asking impossible objectives (say play with a class you don’t have), at least make this class available to borrow for the battle even if it’s just a lower rank
– setting a fair price to this app and getting rid of overpriced stuff in it
=> I much prefer to pay once for this app, that I find good, than having it for free but everything overpriced in it.
whether it’s actual money or the game one, everything is just overpriced and ridiculously unfair: classes, LC, set items, potions/eagle/etc…
You can’t realistically have fun after a while, I don’t plan to wait 3 months to get a new class (275LC) and have everything class after a year and then having to roll for 27 months and 5 days (random) to get all my set items (if I’m lucky enough not to have half of them doubled).
Honestly, despite I’m new here I’ve been reading this forum for a while and when I see some people spent hundred dollars or even several, I’m like wtf? For an app? Even high end video games with awesome 3d or whatever and long evolving gameplay/story are not that expensive. Ok I don’t play something else than angry birds now (and I’m not a hardcore player, just for fun) and haven’t really played video games since high school (10 years ago), but I remember like playing good old Final Fantasy (7, 8) with a “universe” extremely rich and mind blowing music, not to mention the evolving complex stories and awesome 3d for that period. AB epic is really cool and fun but not as evolved or complex than these kind of games that costed me around 20-25e each.
Anyway, just a personal input…Well that’s about it, sorry for the novel :p

MusicOfTheApes@musicoftheapesHey :)
I as well belong to the anti-Facebook minority and am definitely gonna be following this thread hoping some fine strategies pop up!
(and please people don’t try to convince us to create even a fake account, to me it is a bit like religion : whether or not you wanna believe, out of respect I don’t try to convince people that God/Elvis/John Smith/add-any doesn’t exist, and it goes both ways I don’t want people coming to me telling me what I should think ;) I have plenty of reasons against Facebook that I’m not gonna go through but I’ll never tell any of you that you should delete your account or whatever, please let respect go both ways :) especially since this is just a game, so supposed to be fun ;) )So far I did everything (and 3-starred almost everything, just 5 or 6 stars left) with 2 birds only except a few bosses and from time to time I would borrow a pig ally but only when necessary.
Most of my birds were level 41 (now 45) and are rank 7 or 8, 6 most of them but nothing yet above 8.
I now reached cave 13 and struggling a bit with only 2 birds (stuck at level 3) so in this cave I might borrow pig allies but that replay button that rests in peace in Rovio’s basement should definitely be brought back to life at some point, such a pain in… wherever it hurts…
Without it it is just so hard, not a single mistake is forgiven and then you get to wait 12 hours (that limit shouldn’t exist btw to my opinion).Anyway, any input about caves 13-14-15 would be as well much appreciated!
Cheers,
Julien
