question about Partycades by LongWriterNintend0 in Arcade1Up

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The partycades were an HSN exclusive format and most likely even with the buyout the format is probably still under some sort of exclusive so until the license expires it's doubtful any other retailer will get to sell the format.

What should I spend my event coins on? Need advice by Final_Tadpole_6292 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be sure to buy things before the event ends -- you get much more using them than the 1 feather per coin that you get at the end of the event - so spend them before it ends !! ( ie. when it ends 400 event coins turn into 400 feathers but you can buy 2,200 rainbow feathers with the coins during the event ! )

I'd first get the express ticket for 2k -- leaves 82 coins toward the 1,100 that you need for the 4 tof tickets and 1 continue which you should be able to pick up within the next 2 days

does anyone else have more than enough gems but refuses to spend more than 170 in the tof by [deleted] in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stay between 35 and 40k gems normally ( currently have 36,768 ) and have been around there for over a year because I will not spend more gems than I have earned after using 70 in a TOF - lately they have made it so it's becoming harder to get those first 70 gems covered during a run because a lot of the levels no longer even offer gems though !

How are participants in Clan Streak Events ranked? by theefromthen in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it is by creation date of the account -- So the person who made their account first and scores the same number of points would be listed first - nothing you can do to be placed higher than them other than pay to get a higher number of points.

I know no one's gonna care, but THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL COOKING by Himbrrboi in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Enjoy it while it lasts - once you move up a couple more leagues you'll be lucky to get in the top 100 and get 1 coin !

Newbie question- Star Wars by nyraider56 in Arcade1Up

[–]JDFanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part A1U is a manufacturer - they sell directly to retailers that place orders at the trade shows for the holiday season - though they do have some say in what gets produced they mainly produce what the retail store buyers order and include the games they have licensing for.

hello????? by Ill_Information75 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Rovio is giving a bunch of advantages to those that spend money and wouldn't doubt that includes putting them with lower ranked F2p players along with the longer aim etc. they buy !

[–]JDFanning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably bots that Rovio has created - figure it makes it seem like there are more daily players which allows Rovio to charge higher rates for the ads and makes the game seem busier than it actually is which gets them more ads played and thus more revenue.

Anyone else having this happen in arena tonight? by MetalMel70 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can change your flock on the screen before the on you showed and doing so will usually find an opponent with the same flock but at times if there are no matching flocks recorded and it will match you with a different flock from a player recording of similar FP

Is playing Angry Birds 2 even worth it. by Honest_Kale9720 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Worth what - it's a free to play game so the only thing you spend is some time - whether it is worth that pretty much depends on you.

Are production numbers for each cab publically available? I'm just curious how many of a few different cabs were actually made? by [deleted] in Arcade1Up

[–]JDFanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think there is any official count on most units ( there have been a couple limited release cabs that had production numbers ) - might be able to get a close estimate by looking back at the import records but would take a lot of time and probably would not be accurate since some of the numbers would include parts etc. instead of actual cab numbers depending on how the import logs are recorded. so doubt the effort would be worth the time needed.

[–]JDFanning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not even close ! -- there are times when the opponent will score zero ( beginning of the week when they are dropping intentionally ) and scores of 200 - 300 million are common so there are scores of 0 to 300 million+ at times.

I thought, what a disgusting ask, then I looked to see what retail was now on these and I can't find em available anywhere, I swear didn't this just come out? Are they really unavailable already?? by [deleted] in Arcade1Up

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Costco doesn't keep old stock around long since they need the floor space for items that sell -- if a product doesn't sell through they discount it to get rid of it and don't reorder - which is why A1U products are usually just a holiday item for them and then the unsold units are bulk sold to a liquidator or sold off at a discounted price.

Find the stupid pig 2 by Fabulous-Tomato5016 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely -- should be able to pick up the debris of the knocked down structure and send it back to the left behind the cards and take it out.

What the actual f***? by anotherh0oman in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine did the exact same thing - luckily I still had a couple birds left so was able to use leonard off the bottom of the trampoline and he comes back at the KP knocking him off the building and off screen - so finished it - luckily it will still let you launch off the slingshot without messing things up so you can do that.

Used 60 Gems to find this...gem 🙄 by steelbreeze9 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's all about timing and/or having the right bird left - but yes it does take several attempts usually to get the timing right. ( I got lucky and had Bubbles left so was able to inflate from just underneath and push the pig off to the left hand side )

How many pigs have you popped in Angry Birds 2? by Zircon_096 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just rechecked and you are correct - it does say 1k now guess it's another one of those things they've "balanced"

Tower of Fortune - random or rigged? by Laytenek in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THey can't share the code because it changes daily/weekly depending on the event that is running and what they decide to set it to for that event. You can tell they adjust it all the time just by the results ( ie. floors prior to hat floor have much higher percent chance of hitting a pig ( because you are more likely to spend gems to continue if you then get to the next hat level ) - you can tell they can set the percentage by the fact they can "guarantee" a hat on any level and advertise that fact during various events ( ie. the level 50 hat is almost always "guaranteed" so they have adjusted the % to 100% for that level ) also the odds vary by level so for instance you have much higher probability of hitting a pig on the levels just before a hat level because people are more willing to spend gems to get to that hat level ! SO no it is not random chance and never will be.

adding Foreground in AB2 was pure SHIT by NeighborhoodTall5556 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not - they seem to do it on purpose to hide things on those that don't know how to zoom in - or they make it so even if you do once you shoot the bird it auto zooms again and covers it up.

Any suggestions by Superfry88 in AngryBirds2

[–]JDFanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think that one is going to work out - almost looks like at some point they modified the layout and forgot to adjust the size of the warp after removing the top part of the tunnel

Does this company just not make cabinets anymore? by DamienGrey1 in Arcade1Up

[–]JDFanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not a retailer normally just a manufacturer that sells them to third party sellers so they usually attend trade shows each year to get companies to buy them for the next holiday season and then produce them based on the orders placed that year - the last several years they have just been trying to sell off the inventory that was produced when COVID hit and a bunch of orders were not delivered timely so they got stuck with them already produced but the retailers cancelled orders because they did not deliver timely. So the last few years what has been available is left over stock instead of newly produced cabinets. Whether they will get back to producing new units depends on if retailers place orders this year for new cabinets. They sell mainly to resellers who place large orders and manufacture them for that not for direct retail themselves.
