IDK, I have 2 white stipey ones, the angled stripes and the horizontal stripes - when viewed from the extra menu

Should this be posted in an iOS thread to avoid confusion that the tourney is active for PS3 owners?

The title of the thread should be edited to include "mobile platform" or something like that.

Still no EB's for android... :thumbdown:

I've recieved EB's on all first season tables.(i havnt played on seas 2 tables in the tourny yet) I thought there was an issue with not being able to stack them though. On ToM i couldve swore i scored multiple EB's (kept hearing the thwaack!) But after i drained the first one, the replay light wasnt lit. But i just played a game on BoP and can confirm i received 2 EB's and they did stack. Runnin on my Droids..

Edit: silly me...i just realized your talking about Pin*bot...not Bride of Pinbot...my mistake

With the existing issues of Pin*Bot and Centaur being set up differently, by platform, there is no way this is an evenly matched tournament.

Until all the tables are all set with specials and replay to credit/audit with 0 extra balls and tournament rules enabled no matter the platform there is pretty much no point in taking part.

Why should one platform have their tables tuned or set up to have a particular advantage?

Plus you must add the unfairness of the mobile to the fact that you can still hack the mobile platform scores according to this thread http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...Y-leaderboard-high-scores-especially-not-mine!

I think that I will set this tournament out. I hope the rest of you participating score high and that all people who know how to hack the leader-boards, leave them alone.

 

[doveton]

hate to moan and stuff but the fact you dont get any hof points or the score saved on your main game when you hit a high score in the tournament is a real shame. ive set some reasonable (by my standards) scores in the tourney but im loath to play in it any more because i would be utterly gutted if i had that one in a million amazing game you can sometimes have on a table and it was wasted on the tournament

 

[spoonman]

Oh sure why not let's exclude that other mobile platform from the discussion.

Sorry, my thoughts and prayers go out to Kindle Fire users.

Agreed

Don't forget ios have 2 other advantages. Enhanced nudge options and controller support.

Throw in the leader board bug, and various table bugs still unfixed 12 months in. Farsight having tourneys is a sad joke.

As an absolute minimum fix the leader board exploit bug.

You sure can't miss it when you look at the Central Park leaders right now...

 

[pinballchris]

I hate setting personal bests during tourneys.

 

[Clawhammer]

Anyone else having issues with the app crashing mid game during the tourney?

Hear hear! Improved my PB on MM by 166M, glad I didn't complete BFTK!

Not mid game but I get frequent crashes while checking the LB's.

 

[Lord Boron]

I hate setting personal bests during tourneys.

What I hate more is finally getting that wizard goal that's been plaguing me for ages and it not counting. Why must the pinball gods be so cruel....

 

[norbert26]

i peeked in to see what a tournament is about and played a few tables. i did not get any block buster scores i would rather play the normal way as i need goals completed that are not counting . Also i have those custom balls already so if any one sees me at the bottom of the totem pole i was just taking a peek and really did want to finish it out. One more thing the tables seem to be set for the factory default 3 ball game with EBs enabled .

Glad to here that i'm not the only one it happens to.

Well.. Not exactly glad, but you get the point.

 

[Captain B. Zarre]

Well, I can't believe Crusty Booger's in the #1 spot- the two best players who didn't hack so far are, of course, dylan_h and pinballchris. Good job, everyone! Too bad I'm in #285...

Thanks Captain, yeah the hacked scores are getting a little out of hand this time around. Hopefully Farsight will correct the obvious ones.

 

[pinballchris]

Crusty Booger is a hack?

 

[Dylan_h]

Crusty Booger is a hack?

I personally don't think Crusty Booger is cheating as I've seen his scores around and he always ranks up in the top spots.
