DLC Release Date

[laughing_lunatic]

On that note, I think it's time for some Drac Attack and a little Mummy Mayhem

I....hate.....you....soooooo....much

hahahha !! I actually figured out why TPA sucks so bad on my ancient 1st Gen iPad. I did the double tap on the home button and it seem that everything I ever opened on it was actually still open in the background. So I closed them all down and now it's actually perfectly playable, albeit with a touchscreen rather than buttons and a nudge that..well... it's not good, let's leave it at that. But at least I'm playing me some MB, until the real one is released again.

I have been eagerly awaiting DLC pack #4 in mid September but I am happy to get the bad news that pack 4 and 5 will be submitted to MS soon... so I'm guessing we will have to wait until October 9th or October 16th.

They haven't even submitted it yet? Where did you see that?

They said the last title update covers DLC Packs 1-3. DLC 4 and 5 require another title update, which means another 5 to 15 weeks for certification.

I see. They probably have submitted the Pack 4 DLC itself, but it looks like they're going to save on fees and wait until 5 is finished before they submit the title update, so they can then include support for both packs in one update. I think the title update submission period is different from the DLC schedule.

I'm just glad I got DLC 3 on the promised date (mid August) right on schedule for once.

I wasn't able to snag the new tables when they were briefly available, so I'm looking forward to the official release next week. It'll be a shame if Monster Bash is still bugged at that point though.

It's obviously still going to be bugged. It will take over a month to fix that. They'd have to re-submit it.

If you're going to be super negative all the time in non-specific, unconstructive, and hyperbolic ways, please go join your compatriots on the TPA Facebook page.

Non applicable post now.

Just a heads up to manage everyone's expectations:

Considering the bugfixing that is going on behind the scenes after DLC 5 has been done (and which is being tested as we speak on mobile devices), I think we should consider the likely possibility the update to implement the new tables hasn't been submitted yet.

It's ofcourse also possibly they have submitted (or will) an obligatory update with the newest DLC and some bugfixes that *have* to be implemented (Frankenstein MB) and will send the other bugfixes out with another "optional update" like the last time. Maybe some clarification from Mike Reitmeyer is possible on the path they chose (although he probably needs to clear with management on what info he's allowed to give).

DLC Tables Pack #3 will be released next week with the Frankenstein Jackpot bug unfixed. After FarSight is done with the majority of what they're working on now as far as bug fixes, they will submit DLC Table Packs #4 and #5 plus the Title Update with all the bug fixes (an Optional Update may be required depending on the file size of the bugs fixes) to Microsoft for approval and due to the delay, the new DLC and updates may not show up on XBLA until early October.

 

[AshleyAshes]

I wonder if we'll actually see it appear for real in a few hours now.

So if I understand correctly, Monster Bash won't be fixed until October?

Pass.

Right! Hopefully at least the leaderboards/achievements will work today.

Your loss. Unless you are protecting yourself from the lack of discipline to nudge uncontrollably during multiball. Frankenstein doesnt affect your game at all unless you choose to do so.. Sure it will affect leaderboard, but you passing won't stop that. See you in october!

 

[Volitar Prime]

So if I understand correctly, Monster Bash won't be fixed until October?

Pass.

I'm also waiting until the patch comes out since both tables have bugs which should be fixed at that time.

 

[laughing_lunatic]

The DLC is up. I'm getting it. I'll just refrain from nudging uncontrollably on MB. I'm only cheating myself, if I do.
