@kerravon I started at 6pm CST the 2nd day (1 hour before 7pm CST when objectives reset). The weekly leaderboard resets at 2pm CST so I started 28 hours late. I missed a 3000 objective and a whole set of objectives on the last day so 8500 points. Didn’t go for any additional grinding or re-spins.

A distinction may be needed for stars of the Arena GPM because for the Tops/Flags, the same item name is ALWAYS a specific star (like Jeweled Pumpkin is always 2-star, there will never be a 0, 1, or 3-star Jeweled Pumpkin), and thus Emblems (which do have 0, 1, 2, 3-star versions) and Tops/Flags have slightly different odds when separated.

Yes I did the same thing as Paul and got 1st place each week for 3 weeks in a row, only sacrifice is just not doing golden pigs and free rolls for a whole week but definitely saves a lot of time.

I also joined the second day last week and ended up with 7 people having 0 scores. Maybe they had actual scores elsewhere as I can’t imagine those Level…[Read more]

Agree with the above; the support response just sounds like the customer service department has no clue what’s going on but it’s almost certain the programmers know what’s happening.

@cosmo2503 That makes sense, thanks!

@larry in the DallasReds screenshot, the points seems to have decreased in the one with less time remaining.

I have the achievement for finishing 1st in Diamond League even though I’ve never actually done that. Could this set up be a cause of getting the achievement if I happened to be on some other board where I was 1st.

This looks a lot like the same multi board placements in events.

One problem is that Rovio did not appear to clear out the existing cache of player bird lineups which contain all those hacked birds. The issue of hacked birds with unrealistic stats has not been fixed so they would also keep appearing in arena lineups even if the old cache had been cleared.

Huge thanks to @steven-dunn-5648 for sharing the single league strategy; it’s worked two weeks in a row and finally went from Gold to Diamond. It works exactly as described as long as you don’t stay in the game too long, so basically just sacrifice a whole week of playing. I only needed to play 1 arena battle each time and check that I was the…[Read more]

I’ve never gotten Mastery Level 10 lineups but I’m only Level 36.

I feel like to be safe, once you check a few times that you’re still the only one on the leaderboard then there’s no point in checking again until the end of the week when claiming the prize. Every connection to the server (or more likely interaction with elements of the arena area) may increase the chances of being placed in an existing group.

Seems like the key is mainly to only play a single battle and exiting the game quickly (not spend too much time with the game connected to the internet pretty much). Last week I played regularly and my leaderboard had only 14 people for almost the entire week until a few hours before the end when a 15th person appeared who had about 1000 points,…[Read more]

@dr_ishmael Ah interesting, thanks for the info!

@dr_ishmael Do you have stats for set tops/flags in relation to that table?

What happens if you completely skip a week? (claim your prize on the 8th day or later)?

I’m a bit confused on if I should completely skip viewing the new league board after claiming the prize or just close the game right after spinning the wheel? (or do I need to exit out of the wheel prize screen then close the app?)

@mvnla2 They are cached/saved bird states from real players but computer still controls the moves.

I’m currently Level 36 and have not encountered any Level 41 players in my leagues and not ran across anyone with excessively high scores yet. I do notice people being active the first day then tapering off (and it does seem like leagues fill up as you go so when you first join you are placed in a league with mostly people who join around the same…[Read more]

@dr_ishmael Interesting patterns you’ve found! So 34 3-star will equal 35 2-star, 36 1-star and 37 0-star?

Level 36 Gold League Top, Set item, 4879 Hearts
Level 36 Gold League 2-star Flag, 4056 Hearts
Level 36 Silver League Emblem, Wheel prize, 1655 Hearts
