@optimuspig and everyone, I’m playing so much more effectively now. Thank you.

Moderators, can this thread be stickied like the one in Energonicons please?

[Mad Kat]

This is such a non-upgrade unless you count reintroduction of bugs. I’m seeing the endless loop of ‘updating progress’ too….again.

[Mad Kat]

We received the upgrade in the iOS world too. I’m still downloading but I’m not excited. Doesn’t seem like we get any real new features.

[Mad Kat]

I wish they would do a real upgrade. High time. Remember when @gradientturtle7 posted a screen shot of a new area many moons ago and said it was coming soon? That looked quite cool. They need to come up with something better/more than just new areas though. Even a new area gets repititive pretty soon.

If they raise the upgrade max to level 20, I’d be so disgusted, I’d uninstall the game. I think upgrading beyond 10 is a stretch as it is. I don’t want new characters or max character levels. I want new stuff to do with existing characters that I’ve invested so much time to upgrade.

[Mad Kat]

Thanks for letting us know. I never noticed. I used piggy blast a few times because it was cute but never since the novelty wore off. I feel up observant now. I just did a few nodes using piggy blast. Pig city has many energon structures too. Pig city and desert are both good options to use piggy blast.

@talmud – Upthread there have been questions asking Rovio why a daily challenge they said would begin on 12th starts after 2+ days. Wedon’t know yet. Rovio did not respond to that question yet.

[Mad Kat]

That is ridiculous. I am NOT collecting gems to get accessories to max characters it took way to long to upgrade to Level 15.

[Mad Kat]

Yippee! It worked for me too.

[Mad Kat]

@gradientturtle7, thank you. I am playing in airplane mode now.

[Mad Kat]

If you turn off wifi, will you lose progress when they resolve the crash and you go back online (will the game sync your old back up)?

[Mad Kat]

Crashing for me too. Tried reinstalling the game. Does not work. I am playing on an iPad (latest version or both ABT and iOS). :(

[Mad Kat]

@vegabomb, I don’t see being critical of some Rovio tactics as hate. Obviously they must monetise. Some of the ways they choose to do it isn’t finding favor with some of us.

[Mad Kat]

@optimuspig …. Ha ha…I’d be surprised if Rovio does not p!ss off its most ardent loyalists if/when it does so.

[Mad Kat]

I am glad Rovio is making obtaining new characters optional. I am sick of upgrading characters. After a point, more characters don’t really add to the experience as they just have minor variations in capability.

[Mad Kat]

I’ve collected just over 1000 turkeys. I guess this means I’m compulsive. This is probably as much ABT playing as I want to do for the entire 2016 packed into the past few days for a reward that I’m really not vested in. Something about that turkey popped meter has taken hold of my brain. Which feels like scrambled eggs now after countless mindless runs through the same few silly areas. :-)

This is not a rant….nobody to blame but myself. I am on the Rovio fan side. I just want an update to the game with new areas.

I’d be happy to never unlock another character. I have more than enough. Once they are unlocked, my compulsive side takes over and upgrading them to atleast level 11 becomes so important in my life.

[Mad Kat]

I am 15 turkeys away from a hat that I don’t want. I am not even trying for 1500 turkeys.

[Mad Kat]

Thanks for letting us know @sumitarora15. I am still stuck but I see a ray of hope now tht your issue is resolved.

[Mad Kat]

@cerpin, seems like another standard response. I got it too.

‘
Hello again,

Sorry for the long reply time, we’ve been investigating possible reasons for the crashing issue that still persists with some of our users, including you. Unfortunately I have to ask you to be patient just a little longer, we’ve now submitted a server-side fix to the distributors and this fix should take care of this nagging and frustrating issue.

I hope that you’re able to stretch your patience a little bit thinner, we’re working extremely hard to get the game operating again. My deepest apologies that this issue is still ongoing. I understand that telling you that this issue has mostly been resolved for majority of users, won’t make you feel any better but I hope that it will give you enough confidence to believe that we will see this thing through and get you back to playing the game that you obviously like very much. Would it be okay with you, if we get back to you once the server-side fix has been released?

Sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused, we will do everything in our power to make this up for you.

Best regards,

Joonas
Rovio Support Team’

I got the exact same reply. The issue is not fixed for me, though. My game still incessantly loops on startup with the progress update message.

[Mad Kat]

I am so sorry to hear.

I am stuck at rank 325. When I launch the game, I keep getting the message that the game needs to reload in an endless loop. I have submitted a ticket to Rovio.

[Mad Kat]

@optimusprime, I have a theory on how to recreate the conditions that yield multi-payouts. I was thinking about what was common to the two times I received a multi-payout.

Time it so that when you start the game, an upgrade and all three missions are completed and waiting for you to collect. The game should restart with the startup screen and the bar that shows initialisation progress (not launch directly into the game from memory).

I haven’t tested this yet, because I have a long duration character update underway.

[Mad Kat]

Thanks @sumitarora15

[Mad Kat]

What is the difference between Prowl and Bluestreak?

[Mad Kat]

S@hxadecmel I am on V1.6.15 on iOS. It just happend to me again. Prowl went from Level 6 to 8 in a single upgrade and two missions let me collect twice. {Happy Dance}

I am back to loving the game. I enjoy unearthing new energonicons and the random multi-cashouts.

[Mad Kat]

a) which OS version is affected – 8.4
b) which geographical region (city and/or country) is affected – Malaysia
c) what level of rank you’ve mastered in the game – almost 300, can’t remember exactly
d) if your iOS device might be rooted or jailbroken – no

The app crashes on the opening screen.

Edit: deleting and reinstalling the game worked for me too. (I was rank 302, I hadn’t been keeping track!) I played the first node and the game synced my progress. All is good. :)
