PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessThat it’s pay to play really sucks, especially for such lame awards.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessSecond week now, and Diamond is more insane than before the update. No us even trying.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI’m sure of it. I’ve played “myself” in the days when I always had four spells, and it didn’t show up when I was the opponent. Same score range I’m usually in, though.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessThat’s seriously awesome. I hope for that kind of luck someday.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI don’t know that the algorithm is so refined. Most people, I imagine, are going to be less willing to spend gems on early levels than after they’ve banked a good amount of loot.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessYeah, the “it’s a free game” is nonsense. I have spent more than the average price of a game on it, so it’s paid for at least some of us. I would rather the payment work differently, though. They could at least allow me to buy infinite lives for a reasonable price (like cut the rope 2).
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessMy league completely stalled after he update. There was a star grabbing maniac in first, but he hasn’t played in days now.
I don’t know, this kind of broke the game for me. Playing the levels goes from far too easy to impossible at some point, and it’s just not fun to play the same level over and over for days (or longer). The arena and daily challenge were a nice mix of challenging and fun. Still unsure about the new KPP, but I don’t like that some levels seem to just be broken.
The thing with the arena, however, is the imbalance in matches. I used spells to level the playing field, that’s all. My only real reason to level birds these days is that aesthetically I hate Master, and I hoped Pristine would be a bit nicer. The chests sucked and spells were unimportant. It was his having a nice, non-frustrating challenge.
At the same time, the constant pressure to play to maintain arena status was always there, and now it’s not. Yeah, I can tell myself all I want that it’s just a game, but it is awfully easy to fall into a “well, but it is more gems and not that much work” mentality.
What would make me happy is if they fixed the levels. At least change them to not be totally random every time so I can practice.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI’m of mixed mind on that. I really felt screwed over by the game and was happy to learn some things that made me feel like I could make up for the value I lost. I don’t know that I would have ever PMed random strangers to find out if there were some exploits. So I’m grateful this community has been so open and sharing.
It also keeps a lot of people playing a very broken game. The mighty eagle spell should cause massive destruction. It’s not just about the points, it’s fun to see. It’s stupid we have to find work around to make that happen.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessYeah, that was my thing too.
Luckily my birds are fairly even now. I kind of had a feeling that, and likely a few other loopholes, would be closed with the update. I considered…making preparations, but was so “meh” about the idea that I didn’t bother. So, clearly not the end of the world for me.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessAfter the update, Our Lady of Infinites seems to be gone.
Eh, fun while it lasted. Here’s hoping the update actually makes the game playable
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessDiamond with 729 stars in first. Second place is 517.
I spent all week barely keeping up with the person now in second. I had some time to kill and wanted to level up Black, so I ended up ahead by a crazy amount.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI noticed the same thing regarding gems. Those are showing up disproportionately less than other cards, even pigs.
My own tracking is starting to show that the pig ratio I’ve been encountering is probable. However, I’m also more and more convinced the outcome of all the cards is decided when you start play. That’s hard for me to be sure on, however, since I’m extremely reluctant to spend gems in the tower, even for research.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI tried that tactic for a time, it doesn’t work any better than randomness. The card face seems to be decided at the point you tap the card, not when they’re displayed.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessWhen I started playing the Tower, I could usually get to floor 10 finding only one pig.
One day, I made it to floor 30 finding only 3 pigs (and getting a lot t if gems along the way). Since then, I hit a pig on floor 2 50% of the time, and a pig before 5 85% of the time.
It could be a genuine coincidence, though. It’s not out of the realm of probability by any means.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI might be wrong, but it seems KPP has gotten easier with higher level birds. I used to never get to the end, now I can at least sometimes.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harkness#1 in my league I’m pretty sure is either a cheater or a bot. 124 stars less than an hour after the league starts. Doesn’t matter when I play, the stars for #1 increase within half an hour of my game.
I pretty much only play the arena because I find it most fun. But I’m also quite new to the game, so maybe this is normal.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI need a FB friend still. I play fairly regularly and usually get 1-5 gifts a day. So, not not a whole lot, but something.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessWhen I started playing, I had pretty decent luck. I’d usually make it to 10 with only paying 20 gems. Then one day I made it to 30. I had to pay 3 times, but I’d been incredibly lucky and hit a lot of gems on the way up.
For the last six days, it’s been a pig on the 3rd. I never pay to continue in those cases. It ends up netting me a (small) profit regardless because of the daily challenge.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harkness@ericli Thanks so much for the explanation. I was getting rather suspicious because that account is right behind mine and seems to always increase its stars when I increase mine.
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessI’m in a gold league this week, and I’ve noticed several players who are in gold with two medals. How is that possible?
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessLooking for someone to exchange gifts with. Please send me a PM if interested
PolarBearCabal@shea-harknessThe arena has pretty much been behaving for me until the last 48 hours. It seemed that most games played out as expected.
Now, it’s really obvious I’m not playing he same rooms, but it gets worse. At least 75% of my matches, my opponent will be out of birds, then 2-5 million will be added to their score long after they’ve used their final bird.
Edit: does Our Lady of Infinites work only on the arena or does it work on campaign mode, KKP, etc?
