Definitely still lots of bugs to work out. I hope your online rank gets sorted out along with lots of other issues. Hopefully sooner rather than later for a change! It had to have taken lots of funding & people to get all those new songs out so I suspect (hope) we'll see improvements faster now.

I don't care for weapons, but I totally understand why the MAJORITY of players might like them. As long as there are non-weapons rooms I'm happy! It would be nice to not have to play with myself so much though! ;-)

There's no "sellout." It's a business & one that's apparently doing well. Let's just hope they don't get too greedy as it appears may be the case. Hopefully this stuff will settle down soon too. I think it will & we just all need to be a little more patient. – BUFULO, on December 23, 2009 02:54

PS. More AVATAR options would be nice. There should be more (free) choices for a few basic hair styles & color, skin tones, body shape, etc. I think avatars are better than photos because they eliminated the weirdo porn people! – BUFULO, on December 23, 2009 02:50

I guess I'm in the minority here, but think a 16x weapon is great... EXCEPT that it should be presented to ALL PLAYERS AT THE SAME TIME! It is simply too powerful to hand out at random. If everyone got the weapon at the same time, it levels the playing field while still adding the "interest" of a new powerful weapon. The more skilled players will still win as long as they use the weapon wisely (at the right time). Even better, with only one place for weapons to sit in wait, there is temptation to use it right away to not miss other weapons. I TRULY BELIEVE16x would be just fine if handed out to everyone at the same time! There are plenty of non-weapons rooms for more serious play!

When I first installed the update on both my Touch 2G & 3GS (NON-JAILBROKEN) devices, online lag was definitely REDUCED! However, since then the performance has degraded. I suspect this is mostly problems with the online game servers, but also probably related to all the new features being added (all the weapons junk). There are also a LOT more players online than usual due to the holidays & all the changes (curiousity).

If Tapulous would compute & make use of the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SCORE for each song, cheating could be significantly reduced. No score above the maximum should be accepted to a leaderboard. Seems simple enough (if done correctly). Also, the percentage stat should be changed to show the % or MAX POSSIBLE score rather than % of hits. This would be a much more meaningful statistic!

The OVERLAPPING TAP TARGETS BUG needs to be fixed. Make the tap & weapons activation target areas SMALLER. There should be ZERO overlap. Put an end to the software guessing! This will increase game performance & is just common sense. In addition, the weapons targets may not have to be moved up to avoid accidental activation if the active target size is reduced.

The color-coded tap accuracy rings around the tap targets were a good thing. The new single bar cannot take their place. Definitely reintroduce this feature. Make it prettier or whatever, but it is necessary & sadly missed.

Players should be able to use coins or real cash to buy avatar items & weapons. I don't see a problem with that other than being careful not to overprice things.

The small banner ads are enough. Don't be putting stuff on the opening screens. Move that junk to the online shopping areas if you must keep it.

PRAISE: VERY nice to see all the new music added today! WOOHOO!

Check again. ;-) – BUFULO, on December 19, 2009 22:07

Thanks! – BUFULO, on December 19, 2009 22:07

Thanks for the official reply, ed. Fixed in 3.1! – BUFULO, on December 19, 2009 22:06

I've seen this one too! Bizarre. – BUFULO, on November 30, 2009 05:07

Whatever you guys did today fixed something! No comparison to Sunday! If you did nothing for sure, then it must have been something going on with my network connection (no real evidence of that though). DEFINITELY did nothing to my phone. – BUFULO, on November 17, 2009 07:12

I think I've seen the "Don't Send" option before, but I wonder if there is also a "Don't Ask Again" button? I got no option this time, so I'm thinking I may have specified Don't Send & Don't Ask Again at some point. Can't find any option for this anywhere either.

I'll send them direct just to be sure you get them. – BUFULO, on November 17, 2009 00:32

Aren't they sent to Apple automatically or is there some option in iTunes to worry about now? If it sends them by default, you should get them eventually. I could also send them directly as I have in the past if that might help. Unfortunately there were lots of crashes, so I can't specifically point out what happened for each log/entry. – BUFULO, on November 16, 2009 21:15

I just fail to see the problem with female players without clothing...

How about a weapon that causes your score to go down instead of up if you tap the "weaponized" tappers it creates?

You seriously think this is a "problem" in the mind of any male player on this board? :)

Is it the same song, all songs, & how often does it happen? If it happens every time on a song, post a video! – BUFULO, on October 24, 2009 17:37

Yeah, I know. Apparently it's just not working right now. – BUFULO, on October 24, 2009 17:36
