My scores don't seem to be regestering online. I looked under my name and faction and it's still all default zero's, but when in-game it shows my xp and best scores. Why could this be?
How the hell do you get XP? I've been wanting to know this for the longest freaking time. I know achievements and playing the game increases it over time, but the 5th guy in the leaderboards already reached 2mil XP and he's played for "0 hr 10 min". lol.
Well i've just fired off an e-mail to him explaining a few of the game breaking bugs i've encountered so far. I was talking to him before the game's release so I know he's someone that listens to what his players have got to say. I'm sure everything will be fixed.
Yeah he let me know that he's working on the performance issues then I believe the leader boards, scoring, experience etc.
Ha my suggested insult, RTFM is in the game! I'm loving the game, and it's ridiculously cheap. I haven't experienced any lag on my iPod Touch 2g.
You suggested that!? ON my first play through I started the game and saw the part that says to tap so I could read the instructions. I try to tap but the game starts by itself. I die 2 secs later cause I have no idea whats going on and I get RTFM! as my insult I wanted to cry just a little bit
The game crashes right as I start playing Level 5 on Hardcore... it makes me so mad! I want that achievement! I just installed 3.0 so HOPEFULLY it will run smother (and yes you read that correctly, I'm no longer jailbroken)
VALLY PLZ STOP BREAKING MY STUFF!!! hahaha. Thanks for the heads up and yes our beta testers were really mostly casual gamers and a lot of our time was getting the best controls and gameplay balance for the easier levels. You are also doing whats called "ranking up" in the online game world and it is considered a cheat by most honest gamers. You clearly have the skills to be trying to open up Elite Mode but you spend your time playing Easy Mode to get easier high scores. This happens in every online shooter that I have ever played - someone immediately figures out how to rank up in a way that the dev never sees coming. So for that thank you ; ) I am just calling you out because you are making a HUGE deal out of the problems and then saying you are my biggest fan. I am only one guy here man. I had to lose my car registration and insurance, my TV, my phone, etc., and let my credit cards rack up to make this game. Basically I sacrificed everything to make this game for you so please cut me some slack. If you guys want to help just state the problems and I promise to work to fix them as soon as possible. But lets get the word out that CS.One is a great game. The more people that buy it the more fixes, features and content I can add. It's simple economics. If you like the game, help support it. Make sense. Shen - L3G3ND is the highest ranking that you can get right now. PrivateJoker - see above comments ; ) and thanks for taking the time to learn the game... I think you will find that it's worth it. TheChasen - I would love to get this bad boy in HD. I could do so much more with it! But right now I just want to make it work for people who say it has lag and to fix the scoring, leaderboard and ranking up issues. PROGRESS REPORT ON FIXES 1. LAG ISSUE - I am creating a new screen in the Pause Menu that will let the user define the physics update speed as well as choose a level of detail for the visual effects. It will basically disable and turn down some of the effects to allow the game to run faster on devices that are having a hard time. It will remember these settings permanently, so set it and forget it. 2. SCORING - The current system uses each players best highscore to generate the leaderboards. The problem is that it isn't tied to the skill level that they played on and players can go back an "milk" higher score from lower skill levels. I don't want to have to wipe the current leaderboards out some I am working on a new solution that I can change online and adjust on the fly so that we don't have wait two weeks for Apple to approve each update. 3. XP - This system is being moved over to do the same thing. 4. DATA CORE EXPLOSION - This is cause a lot of weird issues like the dual ship, random restart placement, crashes, etc. The game is trying to spawn to much geometry and new textures while it is also destroying some of the last levels game data. Too much cleanup and creation going on at once. I am going to replace the geometry with flat 2D cards that will look the same but cost a lot less in memory. I think this will fix the issue and will thoroughly test it on every device possible before releasing the update. YOU GUYS ARE THE CS.ONE ELITE + I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE HELP. LETS SPREAD THE WORD AND SEE IF WE CAN MAKE CS.ONE NUMBER ONE ON THE CHARTS!! THEN I CAN BRING YOU MULTIPLAYER : ) Also Chillingo has posted a contest - I just want to clarify that the gift card will be awarded to the highest score at the highest skill level. That means in order to enter your score for a game you have to play online. When you play online your most recent game stats are added to a separate database. The highest score at the highest level in that database will be the winner. Thanks again everyone for the love and support ; )
Le'D: In hardcore the fighters are nasty, but I'll take them over the little purple ones anyday. Two swarms in hardcore and I had to use 15 seconds of bullet time. Vally and Shen. Man. You guys are killing me here. I thought I was making good progress at finally beating my last score. Which would actually probably put me close to 3 million if I can get that level 7 core. And now you guys are throwing up 6 million and getting to the "kill screen"? Contest over, chillingo.
Hi Se7en; regarding l3g3nd being the highest rank - Thanks for the heads up. Also, as a fellow developer, I know it is tough hearing people complain about stuff and tell you thing that they think should be different. Take heart in the fact that Valley, le'deuche123, myself and all the others on this thread are taking time to post because we are enjoying the game (well, at least I am). About the game: Does anyone know how to unlock the last (elite) mode? I am guessing that you need to beat level 8 in hardcore mode, but I've only made it to level 6 once. Hardcore is too hardcore for me! Also, just for the record, I am using the basic controls.
Shay! I just updated to the gold build of Iphone 3.0 and the game is SO much smoother! When the level starts there is 0 slowdown as the ship drops down. I just got to network 3 but I haven't seen and lag whatsoever
Whoa whoa whoa. Shay, dude. Ive been putting the blame on the beta testers, not you. I break because I love, an the game is incredible. It really is. But I just think these are things the testers should've picked up on, you know? Peace, no crap intended.
Vally - I know but you were a little dramatic don't you think. Like 36 point bold font with a screen shot reading "broken" - not exactly subtle ; ) Haha. It's all good I just wished you had beta tested for me and you will be beta testing all future title wether you like it or not : ) VegantTnT - Yeah a friend of mine just called and said the same thing. The 3.0 update makes it a lot faster. Anyone that can find it should try it out. shen - I know and I do really appreciate it. I hope that came through in the last post. I'm not bitter, life is too short ; ) And yeah as a dev I'm sure you can attest to the level of frustration with technical issues. These devices are all supposed to be the same but each one seams to have a very different memory situation. Oh well back to fixing things : ) Oh and yeah you have to beat level 8 to unlock Hardcore. I am rebalancing some of the gameplay for the next update as all of you guys should really be playing on Elite. Right now its just too hard to get there and it causes crashes. Ooops - none of my beta testers could get very far
Alright dude, fair enough and I'm sorry. But in a game where the scoring system is based around level progression, for the game to crash simply because the method of difficulty increase didn't forsee that extent of progression, I did think that was pretty major, but if I was rude then I'm sorry. Once again. No crap intended. And yes, I'd be honoured to test/violently break any future titles.
For the record, I am beating level 6 consistently on hardcore mode. I'm confident that my score is the highest score at the highest difficulty at the moment And as far as blaming the beta testers, I'm sure we reported any problems that were encountered during the coarse of the beta. I will say I never even tried to beat easy, cause well......it's easy. Didn't want to waste my time playing on an inferior difficulty
inferior...sheesh, i have yet to get past level 3 on easy, i am really enjoying this game, but i keep getting killed at level three, the enemies get really quick and aggressive on that level and i have gotten killed a bunch of times by having them spawn right next to me and i cannot even rotate and fire before i get killed a second after having entered the level
That sucks but I'm sure Shay will get it fixed. I've seen a few other players registering zero's and such.
