I would bet a lot of people are still playing, Mum. We get aggravated, frustrated and even angry, but we still enjoy flinging the birds. AB2 is so different from the other older versions that I hardly look at them any more.
I think the worst time with AB2 was when they first introduced the winning streak and we started facing so many opponents with all the spells. The game much improved with the update that removed the opponent’s spells. This is a little glitch, a hiccup.
I suppose I am being far more patient and forgiving than a lot of people posting here at this time, but I work in IT and I know things happen. And yes, I am running my battery down trying over and over to get into the arena. I want my rewards, but I would sacrifice my 4th place rewards just to get back to playing.
There is a thought. I wonder … Well, time to back up my device and do a restore from a different system with an older backup. Hopefully I won’t lose too much, or that I can get back what I have.
Edit: Would have gained about 40 gems that have been spent, but lost 150 pearls. Chose to give back the gems and keep the pearls. Not sure why, but I did. Maybe … nevermind. Hope we get back into the arena soon. Still trying.
