Flock Forward 8: Teasers, Updates, and Feedback👀🔧
It’s been a while since the last Flock Forward, so let’s get into the latest for Angry Birds 2!
Treasure Pass: Romantic Season
Flutter into the Romantic Season with the latest Treasure Pass! And, maybe, take an extra look at the announcement post. Love (or something else?) is in the air 🌠
Keep an eye on our socials. Something is brewing…
Extended Bird Levels to Come
On February 23, we will permanently increase the maximum bird levels from 500 to 700.
Players who are near or at the current maximum level will receive 50,000 Feathers (a.k.a. one free level)! We will also send out a global gift on February 23 as a thank-you and a little boost, so be on the lookout in-game!
Clan Battles Update
We recently discovered an issue after a scheduled maintenance that caused players to sometimes not receive Clan Battle rewards as expected. Thank you for notifying us of this! If you played CvC and didn’t get your rewards, you’ll soon receive compensation through Piggy Mail.
Community Q&A for January-February
Your latest questioned, answered by our Game Lead, David Trammell.
Is the team working on improving scheduling to avoid events overlapping with CVC?
Since we last talked about this issue, we have made sure not to schedule any of the boosts, like Bird Fever, for only one day of a Clan Battle. I know this has been an improvement, but Hat Events overlapping only one day of a Clan Battle is still a bother to some players. I completely understand the complaint.
However, because we run Clan Battles for 2 out of every 3 days and the Hat Events last for different durations (depending on the type of Hat Event), it is very difficult to line things up on a calendar so that this never happens. We will do our best going forward to have this happen as infrequently as possible, but it will likely continue to happen every now and then.
Why does the game no longer support some older devices?
As we constantly work to improve the game experience for all players we prioritize both adding new things and optimizing the technical performance. In the last year, we have greatly improved loading times and crashes across all devices. However, the nature of active software development is that technical requirements tend to always increase. This is not just new features added to the game, but also tools and game engine updates that are mandatory for us. We will continue to do our best to support as many devices as we can, but also want to prevent situations where performance on a particular device becomes so poor that it will impact the gameplay experience.
Is Angry Birds 2 still available on PC?
Yes, AB2 is still available on Windows via the Microsoft Store (here). This version runs separately from the mobile versions and therefore will have slightly different content and features, as well as separate progress. We recently tested a separate version of the game on PC via Google Play Games, which had a very small number of active players. We have discontinued the Google Play Games on the PC version of the game for the time being, but we may be able to bring it back at some point in the future. Please let us know which platforms you would love to see Angry Birds 2 available on in the future!
Are the rumors true? Is Dahlia coming to AB2 soon?
Hmm, Dahlia who? I don’t remember anyone mentioning Dahlia… 😜But seriously, we are super excited to share more info on what is coming up in Angry Birds 2 very soon. We hope you all will love it. But if I told you anything right now, that would just ruin the surprise, right?
By next Flock Forward, we’ll have some exciting stuff to talk about… Stay tuned!😶🌫️
