Fight was my favorite game. I dropped playing others ….now I’m quitting all Rovio games in protest.

I feel the same here :)

[micho]

Well I meant the recent incompetence in development, and amateurism in their FB announcement handling, and un-seriousness in their support area (inability to understand English, and some Engrish in their responses) – all makes me pretty sure they’ve outsourced all to India :D

Just annoy them a lot! Let them sweat!

 

[micho]

Well, I find Epic / Evolution no longer as angry birds. I want puzzles (not retarded games)!

Currently playing candycrush saga, not bad, but I think it has a bit too much retarded graphics, and is sloooooooooow (compare to ABF!)

I also tried the Nibblers, but this is practically a copy of candycrush. Cuter graphics (not retarded) but ya know, why to have 2 same games?

And also ABF, I still didn’t find anything better.

[micho]

* Yeah. Still working well.

* And dunno what will be the status of the Nov shutdown. Those Indian cowards have removed the announcement next day with all the angry comments from the their bookface.

[micho]

Those cowards, they’ve now even removed the post from their FB site! I’ve just reloaded and *poof* it was gone. Coooooooowaaaaaaaards!

[micho]

Those b*stards !

That makes TWO good games discontinued

@raizir: Which the 2nd one?

[micho]

Yeah. Sadly, the shareholders see it clear: most money are made from stupid games (don’t think, just tap-tap-tap for awesome, rebuy if fail) – you surely have seen lots of ads in-games for those stupid games. AB fight creates some challenge for the average r*tards, thus not very attractive for them.

As for me I still didn’t find any replacement for ABF, so I’m staying in game :D. That puzzle fighter part is just awesome.

[micho]

“there were still players to be matched up” – Yeah the game is still playable as long as they do not shut down their servers and I know that lots of friends still play it. For that you don’t need events. I just wonder why they don’t start events automatically, or just restart them, with same rewards (lots of newer people never played the older events). After all it’s the puzzle part of the game that makes it so great.

[micho]

Nope. They are just saying they are currently not working on any updates. That doesn’t mean at all they will shut it down.

[micho]

Happens sometimes. Just make a break for 1 or 2h and try again :)

[micho]

yeah, just noticed that too. Went from ~450 to ~950. But anyway I don’t care too much as the ranking is a completely useless number :D

[micho]

Well. Shutting ABF down is not a good idea as this game is one of the better on the market. Simply because it is, to say it explicitly, NOT STUPID – I’d say it is quite intellectual in the puzzle part, and quite action (the only irritating part is the birds fight time, which cannot be skipped). I’ve seen so many ads in ABF for other games that I’d never even try because of the obvious stupidity or because even the trailer was really stupid.

BTW, another similar puzzle game I’ve tried was the pokemon shuffle – they even have the timed puzzle part, but compared to ABF it was soooo bad. Really – ABF is has a really nice puzzle part. If anybody knows something better, let me know :)

Already got a reply from rovio:

“””We were experiencing some server issues yesterday, but the problems were fortunately fixed later. Hopefully everything’s now working for you again.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.”””

Well … interesting thing is that their ad servers never seem to be down :D

[micho]

Oh yeah. I did notice this 1st day of raid. “Defense up when Error! is captain”.
Still not fixed in newest update (with 4days raid to go) :D

They really must outsource the development to India, there is no other explanation of these later problems.

[micho]

Actually it now started to work with new app update (2.5.5->2.5.6). But they’ve added tons of video adds now :[

[micho]

Yeah, blank right now :[

[micho]

Hehe, just collected all rewards :D

[micho]

It’s either bad programming, or they didn’t spend enough time testing it before they release any update.

As a professional system tester myself, I can tell for sure their testing is nearly non-existing.

[micho]

This game does seem like it’s being run by amateur programmers.

Outsourced to India, judging from the support quality :D

[micho]

failure of the “perfect combo quest” ? Dunno, but I do not consider “easy” as same as “good”. I like that some events are easier and some more challenging. If everything is easy, it makes no fun neither.
Also for the new quests: They do not bring anything (no gems/score…) except probably some more minigames and some items. I like I do not need to play – like for the raids events, you need to play multiple times per day if you want to get ranked. So I like to have a break :)

[micho]

Well. I transfer stuff with Titanium Backup (requires both devices rooted). I never rely on online solutions. This works always.

[micho]

Well. I’m going for the pirate piggy at least. That’s the one I don’t have.
At least I don’t need to be on the game 2h per day this time :D

[micho]

That explains why the voting code crashes after each 5-10 votes count ^.^
