Getting quite a collection of tables with all kinds of problems, yes. White icon is annoying, too. Can't even get THAT right. And I keep on having to play as a guest? This app is SO bug-ridden it's not funny anymore! Go back and fix all the issues with each table, for crying out loud, and as much as I like getting the new ones, don't put out any more until it's done! This is a joke. Does anyone ever beta test these things? Doesn't seem like it. Just throw 'em out in a rush and you have a substandard product here. It's SO popular, and everyone WANTS to LOVE it, but it's a disappointment. Fix 'em, dammit!
Welp. I've full-rebooted my iPod 4G twice, updated every table I own, and restored purchased tables when prompted, and Gorgar simply refuses to load. I press Start at the table select, Gorgar growls, pause, crash to wallpaper. Monster Bash (the MB camera bug notwithstanding) is pretty much spot-on, though. Just missed getting double Bash mode on my last game.
Why I do love this game, it's annoying with all the bugs. And with the money they got from the kick starter project. Wait until that table comes out full of bugs. The shit will really hit the fan...
A workaround until they fix it: Rapidly hit the flippers when you first start that mode. It skips the intro but resets the camera so you can play it out. And BTW, they did have a beta test for this release and that bug wasn't in the beta version.
This is getting ridiculous now. Every time you buy new tables, all it means is you might be able to play the tables from last month, if the bugs have been fixed, in the latest update. They need to refocus and get all of the current bugs ironed out completely, Game Center added and save different cameras per table. If they concentrated on this more, this could take it's place as a classic iOS App.
There is really only one bug on monster bash, and that is the zooming during the frankenstein multiball. There IS A FIX!!!! Just mash on flippers during the startup of frankenstein multiball, and it will never zoom in! ITs awesome!! Just completed monster bash!
I love the game. None of the quirks are enough to keep me from enjoying it. However, it seems like I blew it by originally getting the free version, and then buying all of the tables from that. The free version hasn't been updated, so I can't play the new tables yet.
Thanks Jeff ! I had that happen to me once last night....but strangely enough it was perfect today....maybe I was doing your trick and didn't know it
Gorgar Plays great on My iPad3 Monster Bash has an issue though... Sometime during a multiball the camera zooms in on Frankensteins monster and LOCKS there making it impossible to see the flippers. A friend of mine had the exact same thing happen to him too. Every update makes this game a little better but every time they release new tables one of em always has to have an issue... So far they've been pretty consistent getting fixes in so I'm still quite happy with them! EDIT! Sorry for mentioning the MB camera bug. looks as though it's already been talked about. Another way around it that so far has wired for me was to turn off multi ball camera and lock the normal camera
No, you were just lucky. I have had those settings all along and I still sometimes get the camera bug. It doesn't always happen but it has happened plenty. For me it has not been at the start of Multiball, but after being in it for a while it decides to zoom into Frank for no reason and then stays there.
You are correct sir! I played it once locked and had not a single problem... Played again the camera wigged out. I'm sure they'll get it fixed up soon and at least for now we have nine other great tables to play! One of my friends is still beating mt in Voltaire!
Agreed. It's so damn frustrating. Here is a title that COULD be great but it is incredibly bug ridden! I got the white icon now, buggy flippers that let the ball go through them (this is a SHOWSTOPPER BUG!!).. this has been the case for several months now. Rippley's believe it or not is lagging like crazy on the iPad 1 whereas no other table seems to have issues (except perhaps TOTAN but it's much less frequent). I've also had all the weird camera bugs where it gets stuck in looking at the plunger while the game goes on! I've also had weird multiball camera angles totally killing the game. This simply isn't acceptable. Please Far Sight, don't follow your company name of being far sighted.. FIX THE BUGS before releasing ANY OTHER tables!! I mean, come on! What kind of beta team do you have? I can not believe that people who have identical hardware don't see the same bugs.. there's no way in hell that this game is working correctly on any machine. It was buggy on my iphone 3GS, it's now buggy on my iPad 1 and it's damn buggy on my father's iPad 3. It's by far the buggiest game I've ever purchased in the appshop.
Exactly. Well said. Stop releasing stupid addon tables until you fix the CORE game and add Gamecenter (this must be like the only "high profile" game in 2012 that doesn't have it.. incredible).
I haven't updated my app yet I'm afraid to after reading these posts I can understand the frustration but come on! Don't go calling talented developers work stupid It might get them in the mood to do nothing
I really hate all the hate in here. You guys are exaggerating... Me and my closest friend are playing this game and this game only, we got both an iPhone 4 and more or less not a single bug that makes the game unplayable or even less fun right now. We are playing the hell out of these tables in every free minute. It's really a huge shitstorm coming to life here and I just don't understand why. Tiny bugs here and there, bigger ones getting fixed pretty quickly, new tables every few weeks that are pure awesomeness in terms of fun and addictiveness and you just pretend as if that app is utter crap. Chill out a bit. Thanks.
Which would just delay those tables further, given how slow they are to approve and process updates. It might not be convenient for the consumer, but the most efficient way to fix bugs is to tack ALL of them on to the next update with the next tables, as opposed to trying to get weekly updates approved to fix each glitch as it's encountered. Really, though, it all comes down to them being stretched too thin across multiple releases. Neither the PS3 nor 360 have received ANY of the DLC tables, and are still stuck at four tables compared to 10 available on tablets/phones. The Vita HAS received DLC Pack 1, but Medieval Madness runs at about 70% speed and the lack of trophies is annoying people who care about that sort of thing (even though they'd just be "get a high score," "complete the Basic Goals" and "complete the Wizard Goals" - and they're all hidden so nobody would ever know if you'd done them anyway). And much like the tablets, the console versions are released with errors that don't get patched until the next set of tables launch. (There was a multiplier target on Black Hole that simply didn't work on the Vita until DLC Pack 1's patch was released, and the Genie target is still incredibly flighty on the PS3 version of Tales of The Arabian Nights.) Not sure if there's a PC version yet, and the Mac version is still in limbo because they tried to put demos on a platform that doesn't allow them. Basically, if you don't want to be a "paid beta tester," stay one set of tables behind. You'll STILL get them faster than the PC/Mac/PS3/Vita/360 users.
I can only assume the people who are bemused by us complaining about bugs have not had this app from the beginning. This is not a small bug in the latest table, it is a consistent policy of releasing bug ridden updates from the very first release. It is a fantastic app, I absolutely love it, but let's get everything ironed out at this stage in the tables and UI we have, before going further with, hopefully, loads more quality tables. It's as simple as that.
Yep, most of us realize this is exactly the case, as you stated. Get whatcha got RIGHT, I say, before moving forward. Then we'll all agree what an exceptional app this truly will be!
I had a good icon on the initial release... then after the first update, my icon went white... then the update before this one fixed the white icon, and now it's white again. I consider this a minor inconvenience though... the icon doesn't affect the gameplay. THIS! They have been VERY responsive in fixing the reported bugs... and I would rather have the tables early than have to wait for rigorous testing. If you disagree, see the above point, just buy the tables one release late. Since they allow trial versions, you can even check them out before you buy.
