So... Are we going to talk about the most Recent way they've decided to screw us over??

EDIT: these children commenting they 'liked beta better' (cuz' they couldn't get past a 3/3/4 DC on their own) are the reason we ALL just LOST *THOUSANDS of FREE STELLA FEATHERS DAILY... if you're new to the game & still grinding for her.. i'm So SO sorry, & you KNOW whom to blame!

Noticed yesterday, but there were *so* many bugs/glitches that i wanted to see today to be Certain...

Yep, officially F'ing us in the A w/ DC/KPP rewards since - apparently - they *Got Away W/IT during the endless loop of Beta BS* - Thanks all you Beta Clucks saying 'but it's Easier, meh!!'

ALL you accomplished was give them an excuse to DOWNGRADE actual rewards in the Real World where the Adults live... I hope you're proud of yourselves...

(sure, KPP *still* gives you 2500 for Shade, but that's now still Only a total of *4300* p/day IF you complete both & -700 if you get stuck @ KPP... since Shade is still not on her own in any of the stores outside Hat Events, it means dumping rainbows on her instead of building other birds OR *OVERpaying* w/challenge coins... Either way, it's BS!!)

ANTI-Update PSA: for those who use tutorials

so.. to each their own - this is not the post for discussions of whether it's kosher or not to follow gamer tutorials (my personal flavor is: they are perfect for trouble spots or brushing up on technique... plus, if you're in a tight CvC & wanna be a team player doesn't hurt to see what the Pros are thinking)

However... the "new" update may not land you in DC/KPP Beta jail, *but* it could have an even nastier repercussion

the Vast majority of those who have made AB2 vids an art form are running the old platform (as far as I have been able to determine *only* Champion acknowledges the difference & hasn't posted X-vids for both yet, tho they indicate they intend to try.. Zoli is quietly posting both, but not labeling them... everyone else is just, posting whatever they're currently running and it's *almost* all the older version (honorable mention to Reach BV - if you're already stuck here w/me you can look them up too, seems to be entirely new version runs)

meaning - if you update & then look for help... it won't be available for DC/KPP/CvC (and it's annoying cuz they're only tweaking about 1/2 the stages so you might 'think' you're fine & then all of a sudden... whoops, wildly different layout)

seems to have happened in the past few days. I fell for it because my game kept glitching & lagging (like, melody wouldn't pull off her 2nd shot, etc... frankly, silver is still nerfed, but that's another frustration...) so was hoping it would clear up the issues w/Zero expectation they were gonna pull this nonsense

can imagine the excuse will be to 'make things more fair/even play' {blah blah} - but considering they purposely partner w/content creators it seems odd to me that they would recode so creators & players are now on different tracks... 🙄😒

anyway, as i mentioned to my clan... Do. Not. Update. until your device literally forces you to... cuz they seem to have tightened up gameplay significantly in a Way less fun manner: fewer autofalls, smaller radius for SFX to, well, effect things for certain birds... i have only been dealing w/it the past 2 days so haven't sussed out all the issues yet, but it's irksome

today's 4/4/6 DC.. i mean Really

[EDIT: Solution Found! see bottom of post]

they Just had this boss, & i *know* it's LV 1553, but Come On man - every "solve" is basically: hey guys, look how I got this Impossible shot off & totally lucked out, now try to Replicate it by trying umpty-billion times until one pixel Magically does the same thing on Your run (as if!)

Last time (iirc) it was stage Two of KPP, which was Maddening cuz Three wasn't *awful* & only took like 2/3 tries to beat - IF you could Get there... today, FFS! i can't even seem to Get to KPP cuz i'm always a bit depleted by the time I get to the fucker (Six) despite the previous two stages taking an entire 30 seconds to sail thru... like, i'm getting tennis elbow from this one bugger of a stage & it's pissing me off cuz I want the birds for MEBC {insert annoyed face}

does *Anyone* have a suggestion other than cross your fingers & pray?

Edit... so, of course i post this & walk away to run an errand & try another search variation - come across *this link* which apparently has collected every possible permutation of solves possible!! I haven't run through them all, but with *13* options to try, there has to be a flavor for everybody! I hope this helps someone other than myself so thought I'd add it to the post rather than pretend we never had this chat 🤫🙃🫠

(ps. i should mention the photo is a screen grab from the web & not my own play... i tried to edit it to make it fairly generic, but wanted to make that clear)

Don't mean to brag but... I got the Egg! {thought it was mythological!}

OMG! when the ToF gods smile upon you, they *really* smile!!!

my 1st *FIVE* runs today were all 2nd flr pigs (ok, one was like... 6th flr, but all i'd gotten was a couple of apples so, same thing)... I only needed Stella's hat to complete the set so I was basically ready to spend a few extra gems today if I could get to 30 without it getting silly - and Then!

I start to feel a decent run (like, no pigs b4 lv 15 + gems/coins stacking up!) & Finally I get my Set!! keep going, but the gem count doesn't make sense & i pull the video at about lv 42ish - end up w/ a Ton of event coins & about 500 "extra" gems (lol) - Totally worth it!

But, I still have one free video, so i figure i'll spend another ticket & just see how many other coins I can get, right? no harm/foul... My Dudes!!

I am *completely convinced* that once you get the set the algo resets to Easy! I start hauling in cash... at LV 54, with a *banked* 1800 gems, I hit the 800 pig so decide to pay (math = I am still +30)... hit the 1600 pig on LEVEL 59!! watch the video and hit the freaking Egg on the top floor!!!

{btw's: this is two hat events in a row i've been able to complete & lv up by the 2nd/3rd day... so imho this *settles* the auto v manual question - end of PSA 🥰}

Curious about "bonus throws" in walkthru vids...

You know what i mean... some gamer puts up their AMAZING achievement vid, but there's always @ least one screen where you see "Bonus Throw" & the same screen is replayed for, from what I can tell, Additional points...

I have *never* been offered this opportunity irl - & that's even on days when i've been so frustrated w/a mission i've walked behind the gamer shot 4 shot & sometimes Exceeded their throws!

So, is this a paid option? Are my birds just not *quite* leveled up enuf (since most of those posting have been Around & have Massive FP)? Or are they rewinding to show options... but then, why do the points Count?

Am Super curious about this, but def don't wanna waste gems, etc, to trial N error it to figure it out myself if ya'll already know 🥰

Thx in advance for edifying me!!

What the Hal‽

No, seriously... Forcing us to use Hal 3 out of 4 arena days in a row is just beyond the pale... I *do not care* that this week's event set includes a hat for the doofus, does Anyone actually enjoy throwing this bird?

Please, if you see Any advantage (other than picking off that One leftover thing at the end of an obnoxious screen) *please* enlighten me!

Waitress... failed to serve

So, am woefully behind on my personal education when it comes to nearly anything original from the past 10(ish) years (broke/out of the game/personal nonsense...) and have been having a BLAST remedying that fact.

But, my people, I *Do Not Get* the hype surrounding Waitress...

This is no Six, Hadestown, Maybe Happy Ending, nor even Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812... Dudes, it's frigging DRECK!! It sounds like a cross b/t a piss-poor jukebox musical (made up of twangy 2nd rate country & bubble-gum pop coded by shitty AI) & a Reno lounge-singer's matinee routine

How the bloody hell did this show receive *FOUR* Tony nods, including BEST frigging Musical‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽

Fowl Play is, well, foul...

So, I finally get myself a hat for Shade (missed Onion Knights) & *this* is the design the Devs came up with‽‽‽‽‽ SO ugly I immediately had to unequip the hat {slow, sad, tear}...

Don't get me wrong, I was Shocked by the tower run that gave me 👆(+3500ish event coins, enough diamonds to replenish, & some random ish) in the first moments of the event... but DUDE!

I can't be alone here, right?
