    Guess what? Classified.
    Classified.
    They're random, and you can keep earning stars even when you have fully upgraded everything

    There always will be an endless flow of mission. BUT if you play 1.0.1 you can run into mission that require heroes you don't own.

    Update is out btw! We'll be rolling out another balance and mission tweaking update shortly... may be able to fit in some other goodies as well ;)

    For one, we've tweaked some of the missions in general to be a bit easier (only have to ever take and hold 2 points at a time, turret missions much easier, + minor tweaks, for ex).

    I do believe its still too random in terms of generating the proper stars though... the reason was we wanted to present players that are good, options for harder missions to keep them engaged and progress faster. Obviously the flip side is that it can also present harder missions to players NOT ready to move on. Unfortunately I thought that change (less randomness) was in this update, but it won't make it until the next one... sigh >_< Hoping to roll that one out ASAP!

    I don't know, maybe we will add some kind of mission downgrade, or mission skip system... but to keep it in check and prevent abuse I think we'd have to add a modest diamond cost (something like 5 diamonds to erase a mission and bring up a new one). We really didn't want to do that to keep a sense of progression, but if enough people are having issues with it, we'll just have to admit we did it wrong and fix it! :p I think we'll start with the less randomization next update and take it from there...

    After the update, one of my devices gets a "can not connect to icloud from this device." Error. My iphone works fine, but not my ipad. I've tried signing out and back in, restarting my device, etc. Unfortunately im not having any luck. Anyone else experience the same thing?

    Yes it is, I have 520 stars and was just awarded the last 2 heroes I was missing Ladybug & Cicada.

    Also these new banners have some awesome effects.

    Unfortunately iCloud can be a bit wonky sometimes... we actually have no control actually connecting to the cloud, we just control how the game uses it (basic saving and loading)... from my own experience, the only "cure" to the issue you spoke of is to wait a bit and try again :(

    Cool - glad to see the retroactive hero unlocks worked :)

    I'm loving these banners. So if I buy one, is it usable on all bugs?

    Also, I'm at 97 stars and I didn't get any retroactive unlocks

    If I delete the game and redownload the previous version, which for some reason is the default version in my previous purchases, ICloud works fine. As soon as I upgrade to be latest 1.1, icloud integration no longer works (on either of my decides it turns out).

    Yes, banners are usable on all bugs... basically they work the same way as scrolls.

    Yeah, I don't think 97 is in the threshold for a new unlock. The first couple of unlocks haven't changed much, but the total stars to unlock all the heroes dropped ~75%. Its now a linear curve on unlocks, with the middle heroes unlocking at about the same rate it would've taken to grind endless before.

    Hmmm.... nothing has changed with controls...

    Hmmm, might be a slip up. Controllers "work" but like I mentioned before there are some things we just cant do on the controller (tap to use abilities at a location, moving your 2nd hero, etc) for BH2... soooo, I think thats not supposed to be there >_<

    At any rate - yes - it does mean future controller support for games that should support it.

    I thought turret missions were nerfed? I went to check this one 5 star mission that had been bothering me for a long time and noticed it was still the same. I figured it would go to the "new" mission system if I lost enough so it would drop a star, so that's what I did. Then the mission changed to this. Still pretty ridiculous. Am I just gonna have to keep losing until it's manageable, and after this one mission all of the others will be okay?

    That is nerfed. It is a 5 star mission so its still going to be tough. As a reference, a 5 star build mission used to be build 4, level 5 turrets. Now its build 4 level 2 turrets. We also did a behind the scenes change so that it spawns at least 2 spare parts every spawn, so you're guaranteed to get spare parts now every round. Before, you could go several spawns in a row with just food.

    Ah, okay. I still think it's a bit crazy because they're Armory turrets as opposed to say, Gunner or Autocannon turrets. You'd have to go through 1200 spare parts to get them all built and leveled up, which still seems really high.

    So, earlier today, I unlocked Moth and I paired her with Aphid. It was pretty awesome, I got all the way to round 17 on hard (Usually die on 10-12:)). Though, on round 17, the wave swamp us completely, like immediately as it started. It was kind of lame. :/ Oh, and the lag..

    But, that was the old version, I wonder if I'll get lag now. :S
