Gorgar
FunHouse
Tales of the Arabian Nights
No Good golfers
Cirque Voltaire
Cactus Canyon
Genie

how do you know who are the leaders? For me, tourney is still broken. All I can see is Gorgar scores

I'm really glad that Cactus Canyon is in the tournament. It has reminded me why I never play this table! (on iOS). It was actually fun on XBOX. The cradling physics are a joke...

I guess the LB work on iOS?

 

[kinggo]

except that he has a kindle

 

[Pinetwig]

Hmm, don't see devices on tapatalk. All I see is the broken Gorgar LB too.

 

[Eaton Beaver]

The point totals I listed were from iOS. I played a for a little while after my original post and moved up a few spots on the leaderboard so it appears to be working properly.

Folks on Android have brokenness that is preventing them from playing and recording scores reliably. There was a plunge issue on plunger tables like Funhouse, which was addressed in the 24hr beta. But now we only get one leaderboard: Gorgar. And the scores from CC have been transposed to the Gorgar leaderboard.

I think it's probably a good idea to terminate the Android tournament at this stage until the leaderboards issues have been addressed.

I mean, I would probably fall out to silver anyway but at least I would like to try and do my best. But chasing scores and points without knowing what they are doesn't help.

Looks like the android issues have been fixed with the latest update in the play store.

 

[SydyneBall]

I am using a Kindle HD 8.9. I haven't had any problems out of what was already known. No plunger issues.
My scores and the leader-boards show up fine.. Weird..
Had a pretty good night last night on the tables. things seemed to just click.

Anyone else get a black screen half way through NGG? Had a great game going first ball 34Mil and then nothing. I can still hear the music and table sounds, but no screen and no ability to get back. Just another reason to continue this companies shortcomings. No tournament should have been run if we cant get the tables right for everyone.

 

[kinggo]

no balck screen here but the game crashed on me when posting the score for Gorgar. A good one
Apparently, it happens if the game cannot connect. But unlike on starting screen where one has the option to retry there's no "retry" button after the game ends.
So, be sure that you are always connected.

But what really frustrates me is that that the games still doesn't start the second time, or the third time or............ Pause-Resume is the only way to start a second game on the same table.

This type of app behavior really ****s me.

I have four words for you Farsight: Google. Play. Games. Services. For other platforms, implement that ecosystem's solution.

It's time to junk the fragile leaderboards system and get serious. Plug into what works. Do away with this silliness.

Honestly, that doesn't bother me too much. I know, I know... It's the principle of it. Hit pause when your last ball drains, start it over that way. Just gotta be on the ball lol to catch it before it goes to the end of game screen. Same goes for the complaints about the horrible voice acting "byyyeeee good lookin'", if you don't like that, just exit out before it gets to that point. One of the other complaints I'm hearing about HRC can be corrected aswell. Ball remains in the roulette for too long. I've been able to plunge it so that the ball falls right into play every time. Yes, it does mess up the multiball ball save, but just don't suck when you get multiball. here's a real gripe, I was having a good game on gorgar, tilited on the way to the left bonus eject hole (somehow). Once the ball was in there, since the TILT showed up, there was no way to fix it. Oh well though, still having fun with this tourney

Edit: sorry mods, got a little carried away with too many posts in a row, but they are gone now because they didn't really add anything to the conversation

LOL, it's all good Extork.

I have to say I haven't given any significant time to this tournament. I have scores on each table, but that's about it. The problem with this is that I'll lose my Gold ranking because of my laziness.

I think it might be because I really don't like HRC that much, and the other tables in this tournament are a bit "meh" for me. Having said that, I've really enjoyed slogging away on Genie and Gorgar.

There is something about Gorgar's 1.2.3.4 target shots and snake pit "Me Hurt" that makes me come back again and again.

The 5x full bonus countdown SFX on Genie is something I'll never get tired of hearing. I'd love to see a tournament featuring tables with numeric displays and reels only.

Call it the "Old School" Tournament or something.

But before launching this tournament, do a "Low Hanging Fruit" pass on all the tables. Use the tournament as a way of highlighting the tables that have had work done on them with improvements to physics/art/lighting.

Couldn't agree more. I avoided this tournament pretty much until today because Genie, Gorgar and Voltaire are the only tables I like.
I've never been a Pat lawlor fan and Totan bores me to tears, how anybody has the patience to put up the crazy scores on the leaderboard is beyond me.
I love the idea of a pre DMD tournament!

Oh my god, what are NGG and CV buggy on IOS. FS should have fixed these annoying bugs first, before adding those tabkes to the tournament. CV has so many camera issues on IOS, even with all event cams turned off
