• I think what strikes me now is the hours spent by serious grinders to reach scores of 160,000+ by the end of the week. If you are playing fair and using FE’s only now and then, 6000 per hour can be achieved in Platinum. Last week the top guys had 200,545 and 164,435 points – that’s equivalent to a full time work week of grinding! No damn phone…[Read more]

  • In the arena, I find Skulkers with Beep set, Stone Guard with Dragon Tooth set, and Wizard with Bones set to be the most effective for quick devastation. Of course, now you have to bring them up to power slower due to the harsher computer generated opponent generation that Rovio put in place a few weeks ago…

  • @suzyq – You must be using a different name, ’cause I don’t see you on the board. It is indeed crazy with MEO now at 122,960, Forsaken at 98,855, and (the rude image) 8===3 at 68,020. Getting tired of both AB Epic and AB2 abruptly crashing when you continuously play more than a half an hour as well as video come-ons with ‘no ad scheduled’…[Read more]

  • @toolow, I received an unexpectedly rapid response from Rovio just hours after sending my note to them about you. Hope it helps…

    Hello there,

    and thank you for getting in touch with us.

    The cheater detection system that was added in 1.5.2 is having some teething pains as there have been also some other honest players who have been…[Read more]

  • @toolow, this is what I just sent them. We’ll see if they respond…

    Greetings all,

    I was disappointed to see you mistakenly labeled DD a cheater while allowing jackbeam to get away with it. I have watched this player over the past couple months jump his scores with smaller, yet impossible increases to successfully avoid detection. DD has been a…[Read more]

  • @bubbley, been playing since the start and only recently started becoming active with the ABN community and establishing a FB account to aid in progress, but I feel your weariness. The amount of time required to stay competitive enough to make the game interesting is increasing with each so called change for the better. Just getting used to the…[Read more]

  • @pointless, I see you are with us again. Yes last week just got caught with too many responsibilities at the crucial hour that took precedent over a damn phone game and the foe waited to complete objectives until the last hour – a trick I have used once or twice. This week again sucks, especially with the new computer generated opponent algorithm…[Read more]

  • Seems like Rovio has changed the way they generate your opponents in the arena, making it even more difficult. Also the game is crashing more, watch a video offers bring ‘no video scheduled’ half the time, and the FE requests on FB don’t bring much response anymore. The game is getting more frustrating these days…

  • @pointless, glad to see they took off the cheat label. You are in my league this week and we have some cheaters or maybe hellacious grinders – Maximo already has 117,285 and Adam has 108,360. Talk about Rovio ignoring red flags! Now I have to decide whether or not to keep grinding for 3rd place to make it to Diamond this week or defer it…

  • My sympathies for all the great contributors here that are getting screwed by Rovio. Since I got labeled a cheat 3 weeks ago, then got an apology from Rovio the next day, nothing too bad has happened other than wasting way too much time grinding just to keep progressing to the next level at the end of each week. My big problem now is connectivity…[Read more]

  • @bubbley, considering how they screwed @datguygamer and Rovio’s cheat detect fiasco that labeled all of us experienced players as cheaters until they took it back with tail tucked between their legs at the beginning of this season, I don’t know what to expect in our league and am actually a bit embarrassed I have wasted so much time on an engaging…[Read more]

  • @datguygamer, I am late to the conversation – busy and don’t always check the birdsnest – but I am sad and appalled. I have played this damn game since the start and followed the angrybirdsnest posts and yours for a long time.You have always been a valuable contributor and never shared anything unethical. Like our govt. here in the U.S. (both…[Read more]

  • @bubbley I think our league has serious grinders. I had time to grind over them today, but we shall see….

  • Speaking of FB issues, does anyone have problems with FB friends not showing up in Epic? BTW, I have a FB account strictly for Angry Birds to gain FE’s, LC’s, and other benefits. I recently cleared out a lot of the ‘friends’ that weren’t showing up and contributing in any of my AB games, so if I unfriended you by mistake – sorry and try again,…[Read more]

I recently cleared out a lot of the ‘friends’ that weren’t showing up and contributing in any of my AB games, so if I unfriended you by mistake – sorry and try again, letting me know you a part of the ABN.

  • After years of sending screenshot evidence of real cheaters to Rovio they finally got their revenge and labeled me a cheater – after clicking that villainous double points video offer ㋡ Half the time you click on those video offers, they display ‘there is no video scheduled’, anyway! Frustrating… @suzyq, since your diamond trophy was restore…[Read more]

  • Yes, I was also surprised to find myself labeled as a cheater after years of sending screenshot documentation of real cheaters to Rovio! I have also lost all ten diamond trophies for seasons 1-10 in the display and it now shows one platinum trophy for season 10. I sent Rovio a ticket, we’ll see how they respond. Hope it is not a portent of another…[Read more]
