Rovio’s been tweaking today’s arena. First round I won (first match in the streak too). Took my bonus ticket to play a second round (and try to get the 10 daily stars to achieve the gem prize from Red). To my shock, NONE of my birds could wreck ANYTHING. I even threw Blues directly against a column made almost entirely of ice… they struck it and FELL DEAD without even breaking through. REALLY? NOT ONE of the Blues went through?
Ended up using ALL my birds plus whatever extra card I earned on the FIRST SCREEN and STILL NEVER CLEARED IT. Birds just hit things and stopped dead, and this includes my Bomb who detonated right beside a stone wall without even rocking it.
So yes, somebody at Rovio is toying with the settings.
Oh BTW Rovio, STOP HIDING THINGS BEHIND OTHER THINGS so they’re impossible to locate/hit. This is getting very tiring (and includes pigs behind the screen icons, decorations, and background items).
PS Rovio really wants to annoy players into making an impulsive gem purchase… after getting raped on the second streak round as I described above, I got so mad I instantly killed the app so I wouldn’t have to look at that entire prolonged animated production of me breaking my streak because Rovio rigged my game and I’m a loser.
About an hour afterwards when I logged back in, it was replayed the stupid thing again, to which I killed the app again so I don’t have to watch it.
An hour later I went back in and was still forced to look at it until it completed its cycle entirely. I get it Rovio, you f*cked me over this morning and now you’re rubbing it in. I’m still not paying gems to continue and not using my hard-earned money to support your cheating game.
