@garysmcderm
You are only playing against other real players.We do indeed have some problems in the arena, where it looks really weird in the end of a round, and where you can get matched against a player who dropped out mid-round (showing fewer than seven birds). The game is also still sensitive to hacking in some areas. These are bugs and…[Read more]

There are several instances of a league. Luckily for me, we’re still more than 15 x 8 players in the game! :)
The way it works is that you are matched against 14 other people that have roughly the same card levels as you, and preferably are in your league. But in the case we don’t find 14 perfect matchups for you, we sometimes fallback to giving…[Read more]

@john-michael-jones I’m sorry you have been waiting so long for a reply from customer support. I’ll try to poke somebody about this (can’t promise it’ll speed things up, but it won’t hurt). How long ago did you get your most recent reply from them, and what is your customer service ticket id?

Will try to answer your questions:
Regarding new mechanics, it’s easy to underestimate the work that goes into adding features. For instance, the water is not a small feature. You have seen similar things before (in earlier AB-games), but this is another game, built in another engine. Also, don’t forget that you are a seasoned AB-player who have…[Read more]

@sutekh137
We don’t force you to play the levels right away when they get out, do we? :) Save some for a vacation. Seriously though, sure, I see your point. It’d be possible for us to hold off a while, and then add more mechanics than the usual 1-2 new ones we put in every chapter today. A steady and continuous delivery of new levels is however…[Read more]Rovio_Bankler replied to the topic Players starting with an extra bird in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 8 months ago
@nkaned
Most likely it’s related to a presentation problem that is playing all kinds of tricks in the arena at the moment. Most of these issues I hope should be fixed in the next update. I’m not 100% sure if what you’re seeing is another symptom of these problems, but it wouldn’t surprise me.As I side note, sometimes you play against players who…[Read more]

@micromax Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. That really means a lot to me.
@kedik22 I feel your frustration. Unfortunately there is little I can do about some of the concepts in the game related to monetization, ads and such. It’s just not my field.
However, I would like to comment on your claim that the arena would be rigged. I…[Read more]

@circlerev Thanks! I’ll show it to a level designer.

ABF is not my field. They do that in another office (AB2 is made in the Sweden office, ABF in Finland). Please only tag me if you need my attention regarding questions related to AB2. Best regards.Rovio_Bankler replied to the topic Where to Get Gifts? in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 9 months ago
@sutekh137 Yes, there are issues the medals. Sometimes people get additional ones. It has been looked into and should most likely work as intended after the next update.

@peter-sliep
At this point we cannot track down individual users through their Facebook name to determine if they cheat. We have taken some basic measures to deal with cheaters, but they don’t cover all cases by any means. There will be additional actions taken to improve this in the coming updates, as it’s obviously very discouraging for honest…[Read more]Rovio_Bankler replied to the topic AB2 UI related bugs in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 9 months ago
Yes, we’ve had various problems with how the opponent’s cards are played in this update. It’s being looked into, and will hopefully work much better in the next update. I’m really sorry for all the trouble this has been causing you.

Thank you @sutekh137. You are really spot-on. However, even if you (i.e the core fans) unfortunately are not always the top priority, you are not forgotten. For me personally, it’s really rewarding to see you guys happy about some good change or fix we did, when it happens. Also, despite the “vocal minority” fact, at least in some cases (but not…[Read more]

@sparty83 Regarding this specific example (I understand that your frustration is not limited to this). Yes, it was changed. As for now, it’s:
5 stars – 100%, 6 stars – 107%, 7 stars – 114%, 8 stars – 125%, 9 stars – 145%, 10 stars – 180%Before the change, almost all our winners got exactly 5 stars, and we thought that felt a little dull. We…[Read more]

@mvnla2 The white Terence with red spots is a graphics bug. It’s same old Terence, but with broken graphics. Not an experiment or anything like that.

@sutekh137 Yes, some testing groups have different timers, so you are lucky. While this might seem unfair, it’s necessary for us to make these kind of tests to evaluate ideas before we ship them out worldwide. In the long run, it helps a lot towards making the game better.
Rovio_Bankler replied to the topic About the Angry Birds 2 Arena in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 9 months ago
That is correct. It’s the intended behavior. There can never be two cards of the same kind. So if you have only used spells when you get your extra card, you can only get spells back.
