snappy@snapYes with some controlled gambling.
snappy@snapGot another good run going to level 52 spending 720 Gems. Didn’t have any more to spend.
Got back
4200+ gems,
5500+ Matilda feathers,
110 pearls,
2 Christmas hats,
1 knight hat,
1 winter hat.
Bunch of spells.
snappy@snapTo spend gems wisely, avoid being too greedy like I did the first time. Got to level 45 spending 520 gems and getting a knight hat , Christmas hat and over 3k gems but kept going thinking those gems are already banked. The next pig required 800 gems but I had started with only 1100 gems!
Lost it all and have not reached anywhere close to that run of luck since.
Now I stop and give up if I have not already earned enough gems for the next pig. It’s a long wait but not losing gems is better.
For the tower refill times, *hint* try changing your time zones *hint*
snappy@snapGot to the boss screen with two birds left (chuck and silver). Got the boss off its ledge with chuck on to the precipice where it just needed a push off with the silver. Silver could not damage it enough (usually it is best for the boss, often 1-hitting it). Spent the 60 gems for a Terrence, blues and another Silver (yaay, right?). But as luck would have it Terrence and Blues just sailed past the boss with no way to actually hit it. Silver could hit but still left it with enough life and I refuse to spend 120 gems on top of the 60 gems so no DC or KPC today.
snappy@snapBoth DC and KPC today were 1-hit wonders (Terrence for DC, Silver for KPC). And then it all went downhill as I lost 4 straight round 1s in arena from unforced errors.
snappy@snap@sambeaver
The 500 feathers in a chest was introduced with the halloween update. I have had a few that made the DC and KPC very worthwhile.
snappy@snapA whole lot of sleep.
Its too addictive. and I am hooked.
:(.
snappy@snapI can confirm we have 200 feathers from free chest. just got one.
snappy@snapCorrection:
5 stars : Ratio of 1.00 to 1.05
6 stars : Ratio of 1.05 to 1.15
7 stars : Ratio of 1.15 to 1.25
8 stars : Ratio of 1.25 to 1.45
9 stars : Ratio of 1.45 to 1.80
10 stars: Ratio of 1.80+
snappy@snapI have a flock level of 204 now (will be 205 after the next game). I have not had any opponents so far above 210. I think the upper limit is the max level possible with the same sling level.
I refuse to use spells on levels 1-3. No gems on lvls 1-6.
Use a spell or two as backup on lvl 4.
No spell lvl 5.
Two spells each on lvls 6 and 7.Most of my losses have been on lvl 1 which now offers up higher level opponents and scores than the later levels. With the updates, I do get better opponents and just need to be more careful aiming than before the update. Still dont see the differences in destructiveness of the birds. They all seem to be the same as before.
Right now, the worst part of the update is the removal of gems from small chests. I use 60 gems typically for KPC and sometimes for DC if I dont feel like trying again.
snappy@snapSpells are now ( 1 + slingshot lvl) instead of (lowest card level + slingshot level). The birds are still the same and give the same scores. My scores have increased with the added slingshot level but so has the competition I face. The spell changes mean the matches are more fair than they used to be and you really have to sling better to beat the competition. The spells used to make the scores heavily tilted toward spell users.
snappy@snap@sambeaver You have hit on a very good point about the point scoring. It is very likely based on room destruction percentage since I get nearly the same total score from one 3 structure room taking 3 birds as from a single structure single bird strike (the single bird strike often gets more points due to the bonus).
About the opponents, I think it is better now with the closer matches than the easy blowouts from a few weeks back where an average score of 8-9 was normal without spells. Levels 2, 4 , and 6 are now the tough ones where it used to be 3, 5, and 6. Makes the game a bit interesting.
snappy@snapI have been checking the score ratio to stars and so far the trend shows something like the table below. I wish I kept notes so it could be more accurate. Right now these are from memory.
Approx points ratio (your score / opponent score) to score:
1.0-1.05 : 5
1.05 – 1.15 : 6
1.15 -1.25: 7
1.25 -1.5 :8
1.5-1.8 :9
1.8+ : 10If you find a score that does not match the table, please reply with scores and stars earned so that the table can be corrected.
snappy@snapI can confirm that we play real players. I had a match with penz earlier this week. Same avatar as on this forum.
snappy@snapI had posted about this kind of cheating a couple weeks back and again I am in a league with a lvl 62 (all lvl 17s plus diamond sling) that has in the past few minutes (not more than half an hour) gone from 0 points to the top of the league (at 1066 pts). The score was just enough to go past the leader at this point.
Best part: no gain in star rank.
There is clearly a cheat that allows someone to put in whatever star score they want in the league with no effort. Whats the point of such an arena?
snappy@snap@swanamaker
There are a lot of boss levels in the game. Just look through the map. They are not too different from the ones in DC. There is also no limit on the number of attempts at them.
snappy@snapKPC is actually one of the better updates in recent times from Rovio. This seems to have made the regular Daily challenge slightly easier and the better rewards from the KPC are worth at least 60 gems. I have had to spend a second set of gems (60 + 120) twice but now if I am forced to spend before the final room, I have learned to give up and just wait for the next day. 4 days a week at least, the KPCs are easy (like today) and the extra pearls make the arena wins less of a requirement.
snappy@snapGot to the final room on KPC today with Terrence, Silver, and Matilda only to shove the KP to the farthest ledge. Silver and Matilda couldnt use any specials getting to the KP. 60 gems got me Bomb, Blues, and another Silver, all of which barely grazed the KP at which point it was better to just give up. KPC alone is already eating up more jewels than I can accumulate daily.
snappy@snapJust had a lvl 43 “Blast Hamingway” with 19 golds and a silver to its name shoot up to 1496 stars in the arena from 0 over a 1 hour period without gaining a level and with all lvl 16 birds + diamond sling.
clearly Rovio hasnt bothered this guy for 20 weeks.
snappy@snapThere is a bug that apparently lets you win without really playing. I have a lvl 43 in my Diamond league that got 1496 stars without leveling and starting from 0 last night. Over the 4 hour period since I slept and woke up, they went up 1496 stars which is impossible without cheating.
They also have all lvl 16, all hats and diamond sling. Cant be that hard to automate detection of such cheaters.
snappy@snapYes. Same thing every week. I tried to do the same but find less time to play on Saturday than any other day of the week. So it works better for me to just build up a lead to deter the next guy from overtaking. Works some days. Other days, kudos to the ones overtaking fairly.
