Black Rose in the current Tournament

[phillyforreally]

Guys, I could have had 4th place right now, my score was lost twice because of the Bug in Black Rose where you have to input initials for most ships sunk after your initials for high score..the game stops, everything is disabled..even if you let the timer go down to 0, your scores are gone..like my 225,000,000 which I scored yesterday. Any plans on fixing this? I know I'm not the only one with this issue.

Hello phillyforreally,

I apologize for the bug you encountered. This is happening when the user hits X or select during the number match which will cause the emulation to think you are adding credits. So it's basically adding players as your are hitting X and the game doesn't recognize that initials were entered. There was a fix that was supposed to be uploaded with it when it launched however it seems it wasn't. The fix will be in the next build which should arrive on feb 14th. Again I apologize for the inconvenience. If you don't hit the X button or select after hitting "End" the bug will not occur.

Thanks, actually I'm playing on the Ipad right now, can you tell me the instructions for Ipad..I guess by X and select you may have thought I was using the PS version.

 

[gooche77]

Yes he meant Select.

You have to wait and not touch enter between the entry of the first set of initials and second for how many boats sunk. This was happening in the android beta and I guess it wasn't fixed. I just don't touch the iPad screen at all between them.

 

[phillyforreally]

Thank you, will try this out.

 

[phillyforreally]

my fault, you right..select button under the "enter your initials"..basically it's safe just to not enter any initials at all and just let both timers run out.

 

[phillyforreally]

It worked!!!Thanks guys..i just all timers run out and it worked..thanks a lot.

lol welcome to the forum phill

You shouldn't have to play it safe. There are four input selections for the three initials and then one for selecting end. Just hitting x or select during the number match will cause the bug. Hope this clarifies the bugged event.

Thanks, glad to be here..

Oh, man...I thought I wuz doin' good with 47M...as a second thought, are you supposed to get an extra ball after 32M? It isn't like I'm getting pass that point really often, but if there is an extra ball, maybe it'll help!

Hi Buzz,

We disabled the extra ball from the score reward and special reward. This was because there are several other ways to get extra balls on the table and we wanted to make the table more challenging. We put in the instructions exactly what gives the extra balls such as video modes, completing the whirlpool ramp, and the lit broadside shot; Polly says.

FF,

I'm guessing that this won't apply to BK2K? It looks like they're kinda rare, three loops in a row or random reward.

 

[Zaphod77]

Umm, extra balls are NOT rare on bk2k.

After you collect the three consecutive loops then hurry up extra ball, you can collect the four loops and extra ball, then the 5 loops and extra ball, etc.

But the real issue is you can play forever if you've dialed in the whack the ball back up to the upper playfield shot. ALL balls drain from it to the lower right flipper, ready to be one-timed back up.

If there a table doesn't have enough extra balls for a table, I imagine we would keep the replay score as an extra ball as well the tables special. We always list in the instructions exactly what is supposed to give the extra balls in the Extra Balls/Specials chapter in the instructions from the table menu.
