    The only incentive would be the 50 black pearls if your slingshot isn’t maxed out.

    You don’t have to finish the whole KPC in 10 minutes – as long as you complete each level, you can keep going as long as you have birds. But if you run out of birds, you can’t restart if 10 minutes has elapsed.

    If you finish the Daily Challenge and want to wait to start the KPC, then just close the app before you acknowledge your 30 black pearls. When you open the app back up (even beyond 10 minutes), the KPC will load up and you can play it at that time.

    Edit – I didn’t see the ledge at first. You may be able to squeeze Silver in there and let gravity do the rest. Difficult, but not impossible.

    All I know is that since I connected AB2 with Facebook, I get 5 gems every time I open the app, and every time a finish a map level. My gem count went from a couple of hundred to over 5000 in a fairly short period of time. I did win a couple of Arena tournaments in that time frame, but the Facebook gift gems sure make finishing the Daily Challenge and the King Pig Challenge a lot easier since I have tons of gems to spend if I need them.

    I hate the boss level from today. He drops to the water with a life preserver and the only way to reach him is by flinging the birds through the water rendering most of their secondary powers useless because they are coming at him from below.

    If you were at 17 with enough feathers “in reserve” then you only need 1 more feather to get upgraded to 18. For example, I think you needed 3800 feathers to go from 17 to 18. If you already had 3800 feathers and then opened the free chest to get 10 feathers, you would be moved to level 18. That’s why you see people with all 18s shortly after the next level is added.

    Got to the King Pig with 3 birds. Used Chuck to collapse the debris above the laser pig. The used Red to pop the balloon below the boulder. Red and the boulder pushed the King Pig into the fans which launched him into a little nook at the top right. Had to use Bomb to blow up the stone stack that protected him and then had to use 60 gems to get another Bomb that popped the King Pig.

    Not sure I have ever seen that. I did get Red’s crown offers. I believe the first one was after clearing level 15. The other one was several boss levels after that – perhaps level 60?

    First one: Crown for red, extra life, silver frame
    Second one: extra life, gold frame, 150% feathers in chests, and 50% more gems in the quests and the free chest resets every 15 minutes instead of 30.

    I have not seen a mighty eagle offer that I remember.

    I understand that. But I have to wade through several levels before getting to the next boss level in the map. Even if I go back through the map, I have to clear the rooms leading up to the boss room. I am talking about being able to play several boss rooms in a row. Some of them are very creative and fun to play. Of course, some of them are frustrating too!

    Interesting what happens when you have maxed out all birds. None of the chests give feathers anymore. It’s all spells. Easy way to build up your spell count, that’s for sure.

    I like playing the boss levels and would love to see a way to play just the boss levels consecutively and continuously.

    I have finished it once without spells or gems. Other than that, I have had to use a combination of spells and/or gems to finish. Today, I used ducks, snowflake and chili on level 4 even though I ended up not needing them. In room 3 of the 5th level, pretty much every structure I destroyed had one pig left standing and I had to use several extra birds to pop them. Would have had to use a lot of gems to finish room 3 and then the final 2 rooms, so I just threw in the towel. Not worth it for 50 pearls.

    It’s happened twice for me, but not in the last few days.

    I used Chuck to blast the steam from the bottom, which pushed the boss into the TNT. Lots of debris falling on him and 2 other TNT blasts point blank and he was only 50% depleted. Took Silver and did a looping smash on him from above which depleted him all the way. Definitely a strange difference in damage.

    Finished the King Pig today with no spells or gems spent. Beat the boss with a single Matilda (which is all I had left).

    Well, I did buy the school hats for 20 pearls each and got the Azure slingshot, so I would expect that once I complete the beach set that I will get the Emerald slingshot. Good that we don’t have to spend the 500 per cowboy hat to upgrade.

    The bad news is that to get the diamond slingshot, it will take 10,500 pearls to complete both the cowboy and pirate sets. That will take, at a minimum, 12 weeks + 3 days and that would be winning the arena tourney every week, and completing both challenges every day. So, in other words – it will probably take 6+ months.

    Wow – I didn’t even get through level 3 of the King Pig challenge. Seems like nothing more than a gem grab to me.

    swanamaker
    @swanamaker

    Will completing a new hat set upgrade my slingshot like before? I completed the party, crown and street sets so I have a gold slingshot. If I spend 140 pearls for the new school hat set, will that be enough to upgrade my slingshot again? Not sure what the next level would be – azure?

    I was saving up for the cowboy hats. I have one so far and 325 pearls with a good chance of winning this week’s tourney (I currently lead). But I would rather complete the cheaper sets first to upgrade my slingshot sooner.

    Looks like opponents’ spells are back in the arena. In my first match since the update, a pig inflator was shown on my opponent’s lineup.

    9/6 5th attempt (no gems). 100 yellow feathers. I haven’t seen any patterns with the chest. Seems random to me.

    @swanamaker

    I was wondering what was going on and just read this thread. I am one of the lucky ones. I was in the arena when the last tournament ended, and was awarded my gems and pearls right away and have been able to play in this week’s tourney every since.

    I have 153 stars so far, and every other person in my tourney has 0. I guess being in the arena when it ended somehow kept my account active.

    9/2: Only 5 rooms on level 3. Finished it on my first attempt and had two birds left. 2 ducks.

    @swanamaker

    9/1: First attempt (no gems). Got a strike on room 6. Use the white bird, if available, and wait for the snowball throwing pig to take a break. Fling it just over the first tower and drop the egg so the white bird diverts to the right and goes in the flower. Boss dropped down and then had a bunch of debris fall on him. 100 yellow feathers.

    @swanamaker

    On my first try today, I got to the 5th room (only 5 today, not 6!) with 5 birds left and spent 60 gems because the boss got into a spot where he was hard to hit and had a sliver of health left.

    I’m at 312 in first place at the moment. 2nd place is at 224. I won last week’s tourney at 849 which sounds like peanuts compared to some of you guys.
