    I can finally confirm that this level is doable in fact I managed it without any powerups or using an extra 3 goes. You need the right set of blocks and coloured birds to get rid of the wooden and concrete blocks as quick as possible. Then when the white paint pots start going round you need to track how many times you have set off a block next to the pot so that after three blasts the white paint drops in the right place. It is tough but certainly doable.

    I came close on this one with just one far left white bird to get. I am refusing to spend more money on gold coins so even though I got close I just can not justify spending more to pass it. I will get there just it will take a while.

    It was nice until you get to the second tree then it gets quite hard and you suddenly find you have gone through your silver coins pretty dam quick as instead of lives you have to pay 200 each time. Then there is no knowing what the reward is for completing. In essence any rewards gained are then taken by completing some of the other levels it has.

    The 24 unlimited lives Birthday gift has been good on trying to get through some of the normal every day levels.

    At the end of the day it is nice that there are different events and things happening here unlike the way they dumped Angry birds fight without any care or thought for the loyal followers on that. Replaced it with a rubbish kid like Match game.

    I agree that some levels are just crazy. Worst is when you have the levels not rated Hard yet take forever then you get a supposed Hard one that you sail through. If it helps although it is unforgiving on this level it is doable but it takes a lot of tries to get the right start. The trick is to get some upward rockets to break out and up on the right then take out the ice making pigs. Believe it or not this is actually an easier one to complete than some. I am now up to level 666 which is rather ominous.

    Don’t waste your coins choosing the extra 3 goes as if you get the start up on it that leaves you popping the red on the left you will have wasted the go.

    Good luck

    I am glad it is not just me stuck here. I have been trying this level now for the last 6 days and getting nowhere. The nearest I got was 2 stars left on one big pig and the medic pig still to then get. It is just insanely hard. The fog, the metal walls surrounding the big pigs and then that annoying medic pig just means too much to do with too few goes allowed.

    I have logged a complain to Rovio about this level as they can not have tested it and it is not viable. Sure they want you to spend money but this would require loads to get past and that should not be fair.

    They have past form in creating levels that were impossible. Recently they had one where the ice blast from a pig killed off some pigs without it counting so you could get all pigs taken out and still the counter would say you need more done. I wasted all my coins and powerups on that dam level and they never recompensed me for it so this time I refuse to spend more to get past the level.

    I am giving it a month of trying to do it and then I will just delete the app and walk away.

    End of an era. It is a shame that this is all lead by just pure greed. Sure make some money delivering a good product but don’t fleece people and then just kill it when you are not getting enough. Shame but it was good whilst it lasted.

    @oxfordrob

    I agree with you. After the debacle of a level that was genuinely impossible I have wasted all my coins, crowns and rockets so have nothing left for this level. I just cannot see how it can be done without using powerups. I guess I will just stock up over time with the daily challenge then give this level another bash. I personally am getting very upset with the way Rovio are treating it’s users now. This level is another example of being designed to just take our money rather than offer a fair challenge.

    @oxfordrob

    I logged this as a support case over the weekend and this morning got confirmation it has been fixed. It is now dead easy to get past this level.

    My real anger is with Rovio’s screw you attitude. I wasted all my rockets, most crowns and coins before giving up on this level and Rovio refuse to compensate or give back those powerups. I think this is unfair. I have wasted them all up on a level that could not, at that time be done!

    It is a sign of how petty they are becoming. They have all but killed off fight without actually closing it and now they do things like this. It just sucks.

    Very annoyed with them :(

    @oxfordrob

    To be honest for most of the long term players coins is not exactly something you are dependant on. Rovio really need to give something more you can do with them. Unless they make a new island to move to or give you the option to use coins in the slots or something like that.

    At present I have 3542875 coins and it keeps going up. Utterly stupid!

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Oh that is a good point. I too think I am higher than this level but it got covered over with that cloud. Bar humbug. I will have to sit it out even longer I guess?

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Stick at it as it is doable. There is no time limit so plan each move and you will probably have to use some of the powerups to help. I was lucky to get in on this game when it soft launched and I am currently twiddling my thumbs for more levels to get released only going back in to do the daily challenge. I have three starred every level up to and including 285. The plus side to that is that I am accumulating a load of powerups ready to go further once they release 286 onwards :)

    @oxfordrob

    I hope they realise the mistake and reset it then after having collected we can gain them again and merge up ;)

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Personally I was/am close to quitting but have just given up moaning. Rovio don’t listen and don’t care so I will play the bits that are good, just accept the Dr Pig thing is going nowhere and then shrug my shoulders and go ho hum when it is finally axed. This quest sucks and the way they implement utterly detracts you and has no incentive to go back to the game. At the moment I am just cruising through the next load of days doing just the requirement for the daily challenge.

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Rovio do this. They lure us in with a good game and then slowly chip away at it until it lost all appeal and you can no longer do a thing on it unless you pay them extortionate amounts of money.

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Well for fhsdkfhsdkfhksd sake!!!!! What is it with Rovio? Once again a new quest that I complete and it just sits there trying to give the reward. This happened last quest where on some devices you could not get the rewards. I am so close to deleting this game and just going cold turkey. Angry birds blast is so much better at the moment than this broken crud that they don’t care about any more :(

    @oxfordrob

    Never thought I’d be relieved to see another arena event. This daily challenge event has been as wanted as Donald Trump. I mean I know Hilary sucked but seriously! There was a ‘none of the above’ but no they all went potty. Was Rovio in charge of the voting count as that would explain it.

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    With a very slow hand clap Rovio have finally released another version of the game with the bug finally sorted. Just in time for this event to be drawing to a close. What a total muck up. Still at least it is back to normal and i’ll scratch that last event down to one of those things. They could have at least compensated with some gems but no that would be too much.

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    It is a good job the combo event and prizes has been so bad as I am 8 days counting with the slot bug and it kills you being able to eventually do anything. If you complete 10 combos you can not then claim the reward. I have 200 tokens maxed that I can not claim on the free slots to clear off and I can’t use my gems. Rovio seem to have adopted a head in the sand response.

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    I am so fuming with Rovio now. They dared to close my support ticket 2 days ago with some generic bug to be fixed message. This problem is STILL THERE! It has been there for 8 flipping days now and counting. No compensation of Gems no actually addressing the issue.

    The only good thing out of this is that from all accounts the perfect combo quest sucks so it is no big loss not getting to play that.

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Well let us all give Rovio a resounding slow and patronizing clap. I have just downloaded and put on the latest update released earlier today and still have the problem. Way to go guys take the weekend off. Blimey! Is it really that hard to fix?

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    That reply is verbatim to the one I got. A right two fingers from them. They just could not care. :(

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Well I have finally three days late got the most generic support response along the lines of them being aware of a slot problem for some users. So sorry but it might get fixed at some point, maybe if your lucky. Nothing else. Great two fingers up from them grrrrr

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Thanks for confirming it is not just me. I am on an Iphone 5 with the latest IOS 10.1.1 installed. I don’t mind so much not getting anything from this event but just them answering the support ticket would be nice. ho hum

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    Can I just check is it just me with the problem of not being able to claim any slot prizes? The game just hangs with a sailing ship icon until you have to give up and force close it. It means I can get any of the rewards winning the quests in this current event and is most annoying. 3 days ago I logged this with Rovio and to date have not even had that support ticket even acknowledged :(

    OxfordRob
    @oxfordrob

    I too had no joy turning off the iphone and back on. Without the slots working the whole current event will not work :( I logged a support case first thing yesterday and they haven’t even read it yet. Rubbish.
