You guys figured me out yeah the billion plus scores are no problem. I could put em' up all day. I try to stop around 1.5 billion where it will let me register the score. I too have had the "-" and only get it around 1.5 bil. Shay is aware and will be at very least adding more numbers to the counter. I'm sure the dynamic of scoring will still need to be balanced. Other wise we're all going to be scoring stupid high scores on level one and two, and personally I'd like you guys to get a taste of ELITE as it's by far the best. Stick with the game guys, Shay's seriously working hard to get all this squared away.
I believe the max score would really fall within 2billion and change if the problem is what I think it is. But the game wasn't struggling maybe 2 basic enemies. It's tough to gauge it though since the score raises exponentially after 50,000.
Wow. FIIINAAALLYYYY! Damn, I am in Slowenia right now in a hostel with bad Wifi conncetion, so download takes forever! But then I'll master you, my favorite beast! circuit_strike.one - I love you!
Is there a chance that adding dual stick controls will create an imbalance in player ability compared to the other control methods?
sorry ledouche I wasn't meaning to trivialize your score... it's still tough to get past the higher levels.. I got the elite mode and youre right it's really fun with the different configurations..I didn't start getting these really high scores until this mode anyways
Wow, I can't believe how easy getting those high scores is. That's almost unfair. Ha I think there should be a multiplier limit (20 so we can get the achievement). Ha right now nobody really knows who the best is haha.
OMG I did it! I beat lvl 8 on hardcore! Thank God for 11 seconds of bullet time after that last generator! I've noticed that you can't see players skill level online. I would recommend adding skill level to the online leaderboards because as of right now, there are no bragging rights for xp or high scores anymore. Then again, I know this'll get fixed somehow . Currently, I would brag that I'm number one, but I know I could easily be beat, because I killed myself so it would be registered. I think the real bragging rights are for the people that unlocked L33t, becausw few people probably did it other than the current top three (that I'm aware of). It was frikken hard! Ps, I love L33t mode. Is it kindof random turret/generator placement? Because I swear they move every time...which is totally wicked awesome!! Oh and last time I checked, it was 5 stars!!! F e a r l e s s even changed his review!!! Go CS.One Allstars! (us dedicated people)
how did you even register a +billion score...?? as of now I haven't gotten past l33t level 6... i love how the level setup in this setting is different! can't wait for an update... join a faction Titan
double ships Hey Shay, sorry to say that, but the double ship bug still seems to be in, also the wrong placement of the ship. And another weird thing, I encountered. The normal red enemies now start to get faster and faster in the later levels up to a point where they just shoot across the screen without any possibility to dodge them, also they are not moving towards my ship sometimes, which feels very weird. And to me it's a slight let down that the speed of fire of the enemie turrets is not increasing anymore. (Plus, I loved to fight 8 turrets) So, every next stage feels the same like the prior one. The game gets a bit more repetitive that way. But besides that, the improvements are GREAT! The brighter ship, the brighter core energy bar, the smooooooother gameplay, the possibility to adjust the graphics and physics (I use old physics and full graphics on my iPhone 3G). But I still score normal and don't know how other people get these high scores. But I also don't grind... All in all, my favorite game is a bit more repetitive now, still has some strange bugs but feels way better overall and so it stays to be my favorite game EVER
Hey guys, Personalrobot- yeah he had to limit the turrets for "now" Shay has been talking and working with a lot of unity devs to find ways to squeeze out more performance. Last I heard he had a breakthrough!! Grinding is lame, but I figured it out while testing, and had to find the breaking point. Aleceiffel- no worries my score is trivial The challenge now my friends is: Who will be first to claim the god mode acheivement!?
I don't understand the scoring system anymore. If I just grind in stage one, I get an unbelievably big high score. And if I try to reach far in the game (which I love more) I don't have any chance to reach that score (because I die several times,of course). So, grinders will be rewarded highly, while good players are stuck with a nearly funny score? A big let down to me right now. Or am I wrong somehow?
Alright I like that challenge. L33t doesn't really seem much harder to me, I think some of the turret placement sometimes makes it easier. I just got to level 8 and destroyed all but one generator, making my highest legitimate score a respectable 224 mil (no grinding either). I have 26 achievements. Still gotta get god mode, 1000 kills, 10000 kills (per match?) and 500 without dying. How about you guys? Oh and I have no idea how it registered my high score, but it actually registered it twice on my iPod, so I have 1 and 2 of the same score...wierd. Yeah I'm bummed about the system too, cause now it doesn't show the really good players, that's why I think the leaderboards should show the skill level. I think it would be hard for Shay to fix the system though. I know it probably sounds dumb, but perhaps there should be a score limit on lower levels?just an idea to prevent grinding.
Figures that this update comes out when my iPhone's off for repair. So what exactly has killed the scoring system? Does destroying the data core and progressing through the game no longer yield the highest scores? How come grinding the first level is giving you more points than destroying the data core? The only purpose to the enemies should be to get that multiplier up to it's maximum value then to simply progress through the stages as efficiently as possible.
Congrats, I just reach level 8 in hardcore, but couldn't finish it so far But I'm working on it. And I just played a bit in level one and reached silly -760 mio. Then I was really upset and closed the app. Just stupid, what is possible now. I really think it is just the multiplier system, which should be the old one again. Or in level 1, you can reach up to 10x, in level 2 up to 20x and so on... this would result in a perfect mix of getting far and scoring high. Shay, PLEASE fix it. Now, it's just messed up.
I think, now the multiplier is increasing with nearly EVERY dead enemy. This gets you to crazy scores in some minutes. In the first version, you needed to kill more and more enemies to reach the next multiplier. So, grinding was a loooong time thing, therefore stupid and that was good.
Well in the previous version, even if you maxed the multiplier, you still got your score by progressing through the data cores... How come that changed?
There doesn't seem to be a multiplier limit anymore...it just keeps going up. It goes up way faster in hardcore, plus each enemy is worth more in the hard levels (hardcore, leet). Putting a multiplier limit on each level is a good idea. I think it should stay really low at first, because even with a x20 multiplier, you can still get ridiculous scores early on, which is no fun. This is an awesome game regardless, it's just irritating because it's fun to show off how good you are, which we can't do anymore...I guess were lucky that few people have figured it out so far. Robot what's your player name? Oh and Leet really isn't harder than hardcore. Sure there are more enemies and that spinny thing around the inside, but as long as the enemies move the same speed as they do in hardcore, I can handle them. God achievement, here I come...just not till later today cause it's the 4th of July and I'm uber busy.
I'm not sure if the dev. is here, but is there any plans for different control options? Something like Isotope, Light Wars, or Nano Fighter perhaps? As much as I try, I can't get the hang of these.
I personally have removed the game from my iphone until the scoring is resolved. If the dev insists on allowing all difficulties to share a common scoreboard (which I think is silly right off) there has to be something in the scoring system to stop blatant point milking. When a game developer and testers have to use restraint to NOT milk the game for endless points, the system is just messed up and posted scores are no reflection of actual skill.
