    Its the second week in a row this has happened to me… quite boring, actually

    There is also a “new” old event in 8 days, Tinker Pigs are baaaack. There is a hint of a new type of boss pig?

    Looks like Rovio is on this, I got a message from the Mighty Eagle, via the pig mailbox on the totem pole, that I was granted 10 LC’s, to make up for the arena issues.

    I just got that message also, at least I finished in first place! Would like a chance to get out of wood league next time.

    I have 6 days left in wood league, showing season 4, week 2 of 12. So lost all progress from season 4, week 1 – should have been promoted to stone league. And, now I have 6 days to make up for the missing day.

    Hopefully Rovio can sort this out.

    To me AB2 is just plain boring, especially as compared with original AB. The “je ne sais quoi” that was AB is missing in this release – the fun of AB was in the self-challenge to do better on each level, finding alternate solutions, etc… is just plain missing in this version. I guess I am old-fashioned and over-the-hill, and while understanding the need for Rovio to move forward with game technology and gaming models, somehow they failed to capture the Angry Bird id that was AB

    Yup, have to agree – what kind of logic is it to make people not play your game. Seems self-defeating to me.

    I am starting to see more subtle cheating – cheater “Victory” in my Platinum league just jumped 2000 points in less than 5 minutes. Just enough to stay in first place (and no, new objectives have not started yet). We have 10 players within 10,000 points, so very competitive this week, and hard to say who is grinding and who is cheating. We will see what happens on Sunday.

    Rovio responded with a short but polite and apologetic note. Nice of them to be responsive. They offered to refund last purchase. However, then did not indicate that they will provide further fixes to the problem.

    Player “SHAGOHOD-BIZARRO”, in Gold League, posted a score of 4,351,260 today. I requested a refund of all funds spent on this game, from ROVIO. Hopefully they will man up and do the refund.

    We all should make refund requests until they fix the code.

    I am done with ROVIO for a while, going to play that falling candy game, or rescue some friggin pets, or something…

    I was going to post something about “A league of their own”, my level 41 (now 43) and my level 16 game both have the same situation, all alone at the top, even after the update, and I play both on multiple platforms, so it must be a server issue.

    Nefuah – thank you, we appreciate your comments and feedback!

    Update on player “Baceros”. Unfortunately, I can’t take a screen shot. But he is still showing level 50, and has 11,525 points and in first place – so not cheating, just playing well.

    Thorondor
    @thorondor

    If Baceros is a tester or a cheater, he is scoring just enough to stay in first place, by less than 100 points – so maybe a tester???

    I’ve got two independant games going, one at Level 41, team Thorondor, and the other at level 11. I started the second game after being sick of all of the cheating in the last diamond league. Well, with season two, everything looks fine at level 41 wood league, I am in first with only 7,030 points after just a bit of grinding. But…

    In my other team, at level 11, also season 2 wood league, of course, there is a player “BACEROS” at level 50, everyone else is between level 5 and 12.

    How can a player be at level 50???? Must not be much of an advantage, as they in first place with only 5,860 points (I am in second, team Thorondor2, at 5810).

    Cheaters in my group also – last night was in 1st place in Diamond League, after completing two sets of objectives and grinding, hoping to finally finish in the top three, with 16,760 points. A mere 7 hours later, WOLVERINE has 44,605 and is probably cheating, HOONYA has 29,615 and may be either grinding or cheating. Grinding I can live with, its part of the game.

    Really ROVIO??? There are a bunch of SOB’s cheating in my league, still. Makes me want to never play a ROVIO game again, or give them another red cent.

    Makes playing for fun just no fun anymore.

    Very disappointed in this whole experience, just had to sound-off.

    Last night I got my Arena objectives reset 5 hours ahead of schedule, this was accompanied by extremely slow response, and at one point, I had about “328,890 days remaining” or something like that, only 900 years, which then update correctly. At midnight, right on time, they got reset again, and the Golden Pig made his normal sacrificial appearance. Now I have an extra set of Arena objectives without any cheats.
