Well, I think I’m convinced that spending actual money does improve your “luck” with the AGPM. During the anniversary sale a few weeks ago I dropped $5 and got 150 LC. Then during the most recent 5x I spent around 200 coins on 15 coin rolls. The very first roll I got 3 or 4 set items. I continued to get them regularly; there were only a couple…[Read more]

I understand about randomness and patterns, but it sucks when it happens to you… :-) Also there are enough bugs in the game to make me suspicious of Rovio’s implementation of a fair “random” number generator.

I’m curious–those that are having good luck with the GPM, have you spent any actual money on the game? I never have, and generally my luck has been bad since the introduction of the AGPM (never gotten anything on the free spins). Although, on the last 3x RR, I did get *THREE* set items in one 15 coin spin (mostly duplicates). It did occur after I…[Read more]

I respun only once or twice to get items but otherwise just relaxed and played the 3 stam events until I got all the parts for the day. I got the witch class with a day and a half to spare. The free item from the treasure chest every 12 hours helped a lot to lessen the stress.

Maybe it’s just me, then, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Rovio is getting extra stingy, given their financial woes. I do know that my experience with the golden pig machine is very bad. Even with the advanced GPM and the 5x monthly bonus, I got far fewer set items than I used to get with the weekly rainbow riots. (Only one or two…[Read more]

I did try my trick with airplane mode before spinning (and force exiting if I got a result I didn’t like), and it did work, but it took me 12-13 times to get a result I could live with. Eventually I settled for one re-spin to get 6k for all. This seems to strongly suggest that Rovio has skewed their “random” spin against the players. There is like…[Read more]

That could be awesome in combo with illusionist, which distributes 25% of damage to other enemies. If the damage is actually real (mine shows the same as the screenshot), then hitting a low-damage minion with this coup de grace while it has the illusionist dancing spark on it would hit every other enemy with 96342 HP, which would take out even the…[Read more]

In the last event I encountered a “feature” with the reward wheel. The event ended while I was in the car and I spun the reward wheel just before I went into an area with poor/no coverage. I got the 1500 for all birds on the first shot. Great! However, I then went to do something else and came back in a few hours to discover the game restarting…[Read more]

Hmm… mine is still 16 for his first and 156 for the second attack. Not complaining; leaves me with 100% health when I’m finished.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I didn’t play the dungeon in the Sonic event because I was too stressed about getting all the parts for the Illusionist class. Rovio made it a lot more reasonable this time, especially with the added parts-for-video treasure chest every 12 hours.

I 3 starred the dungeon easily with Paladin + Dragon’s Breath, Wizard +…[Read more]

I think King Pig’s vampire bite heals for 100% of the damage that the bitten bird deals. I have the mana set and King Pig tried to bite Chuck but it showed “Immune” (this is a really great set). Easy to counter with a class that can remove harmful effects (Tricksters, Princess, Rainbird or Chuck’s Mana set), or just don’t attack with the affected…[Read more]

Ugh. I had the opposite experience. I just got the Advanced Pig Machine and spent 105 coins during yesterday’s 5x bonus. For the first 24 rolls (4x 15 coin rolls) I got NO set items, then the next set of six hit a full rainbow bar, and that seemed to break things loose and I started getting some items, but I ended up with a couple crummy sets…[Read more]
