Beta 22

[netizen]

Do we know with BK being the free table that emulation has been added for it?

It doesn't seem to be emulated at this point.


Do the in lanes in BR seem to be accelerating the ball to anyone else?

Should the special be awarding 0 all the time?

The lanes seem fine to me.

The ramp seems to be slowing the ball down around the hidden areas around the back.

A good shot up the ramp on the real machine sends it flying out the ramp exit for a shot to Davey Jones' Locker. Really makes these shots tricky, which they aren't on the TPA version.

I am noticing it more on the L inlane, especially on the ramp return. the ball seems to come off the habitrail fairly slow, then comes out fo the inlane so fast it will roll off the flipper 1/3-5 times, and roll right to the end of the flipper when it is held up in a trap most of the time.

Yes, i can confirm the L Ramp, around back seems to be slow. I hadn't played this table previously so i wasn't sure if this was normal behaviour or not. it makes tho locker shot really easy to wrack up 1 Million point shots in 2 ball Multi-Ball when you have a ball trapped on the L flipper.

That damn shark will either make me destroy my controller, or punch a hole through my screen. I think i have a case of Super Mario Thumb developing

I end up putting my controller on my lap, and turbo pressing the button with a locked index finger.

(too many hours playing shmup in the arcade gave me this "auto fire finger" for short burst play)

I'm replaying GTA San Andreas ATM, and doing the gym training missions again to max out the stamina available is the exact same. Must have spent 1.5hrs just turbo pressing the button.

Nice work Ryan BTW - looks awesome after 5min quick try this morning.
Looking forward to getting some time with this after work.

Don't know about on android but on the ios beta I find the shark much easier to beat by just pounding the flippers alternately, forget the fire button.

I'm still faster with the button ;-)

But flippers are a redundancy provided in case the fire button on the lock down bar malfunctioned.

Why do we have to ask for screenshots? Screenshots please!

Thanks for posting these jaredmorgs, it's not looking bad at all. I like to make some comments on what I see. Because BR is such a colorful table, on the TPA version the colors look a bit dull and unsaturated on the playfield. I understand that the environmental light is towards evening, but the graphics team could tune-up the saturation a little bit imo. I am also having a hard time telling the left ramp is transparent.. And the metal parts on the sides of all the ramps, they are light-grey colored now, not looking like metal. Best to go way darker in tone than this. Metal is reflective and the environment is nowhere near this bright that it can give the metal parts such a bright appearance like this. (see playfield piccy below)

Are the leaderboards working for anyone? Or is this just not 'hooked' up yet.
First game (don't know the rules for this table - and in game rules are for FT) gave me...

Yet it didn't get to the leaderboard, and I can't see other people's scores, it just says none.

 

[netizen]

Leaderboards likely aren't hooked in yet, or maybe the server side isn't active :/

All Rules, Instructions, and Tips being for FT is an acknowledged bug and being worked on.

 

[PiN WiZ]

Leaderboards have not been hooked up yet and the Fish Tale instructions are just a place holder.

Note : Continuously press "Fire!" while Polly is on the DMD to kill him and collect 2,000,000 points.

 

[Baron Rubik]

Polly's a goner - Cheers guys.

Great table! Physics keep getting better and better!

Agree on unsaturated colors.

Agree some shots are too easy. Will get back to that later.

Low background music sound compared to effects. Background music can also disappears after pausing and selcting an option.

After entering highscore initials I got to enter initials for most ships sunk, but pushed select button too early and a new game started but with select screen still visible and ni response, had to force quit.

Edit: was wrong about the goals

 

[Baron Rubik]

Don't get rewarded skill shot or extra ball reward. Got combo reward after a few combos.

I managed to get these...

 

[netizen]

Is the video mode the only way to earn an extra ball? I haven't earned one yet
That and the three ball multi-ball keep eluding me. I either get the one ball straight down an outlane or just can't seem to lock the 2nd ball cause i'm having too much fun collecting jackpots, multi-ball broadsides and wracking up million point locker shots

 

[Kevlar]

Is the video mode the only way to earn an extra ball?

Shooting the whirlpool ramp consecutively advances the reward with a 20 second timer between each award or it falls back, advance it 5 times to get extra ball.

Great table! This really took me by surprise.

Audio issues for me. Delayed sound effects. Murky sounding voices.

Took a long time to start the "swing on to the boat" video mode(at least I think that's what it was).

Sounds are known issues and are being recorded again to clean them up.
