I'm in the 50s, I'm not done. I would have agreed that plains could overtake candy for overall but after you hit 269k I'm not so sure.
In the 50s, eh? That makes 2 of us And yeah...after I got Candy to 269k, I'm not sure Plains will catch up. Who knows. I'm workin on a killer now...it's tough though. Is it bad when my thumb starts to go numb?
I've got a killer in the works as well, could be a one doll shave if I'm lucky, could be two if the gods are smiling that day. As for the thumbs.....you've got other digits ya know.
Hey all, Glad to see you all are still enjoying the game and that competition continues to grow for the fewest shots on each level. I understand there have been some concerns regarding the levels changes in the previous update. After the initial launch we realized that there were a few levels early in the game that were slightly frustrating for the more casual players. So, we took it upon ourselves to address this by tweaking these levels in a way that would improve the overall gameplay experience for all players involved. That being said, there were some unforeseen side effects that are now making it impossible for new players to earn the same high scores that our early adopter players (like yourselves) already have. We're currently looking into a fix for this and hope to have something available as soon as possible. You can help us by submitting some any of your old replays that no longer seem to work to [email protected]. We're constantly impressed by the amazingly creative ways that our hardcore fans find to solve some of the puzzles. We apologize if this has detracted from the experience for any of you. We hope you continue to enjoy the game and look forward to bringing you even more enjoyable Ragdoll Blaster 3 content in the near future!
Thanks, Jables Glad you guys at BFS picked up on our frustration with the changes in the old levels. We hope to be able to battle on RB3 for the next year (until you guys come out with RB4!). Might be hard to send old replays as most of us have replaced our old replays with new ones. Also, we got an error message saying something about the old replays being "blown up"! We couldn't view the old replays. I don't recall if we could send them. Perhaps if some of the dollers have the old levels we shared with each other over email, the attachments can still be sent to BFS and you guys can recreate the levels? The problem with going back to the old levels is some of the new levels produced higher scores. Might create the same problem by reverting back unless you guys use the new scoring system as the update. Maybe some of you guys can amend this list if you know something I don't. I think we are looking at: 1) Circular logic - lower score after update 2) Abridged - higher score after update 3) Boom Ball - higher score after update 4) Bomb Chain - higher score after update 5) Slip Up - lower score after update 6) Redirect - unclear if one shot still possible 7) Frosted Slide - lower score after update Please chime in fellow dollers.
Yay! Thanks for the post, Jables. Glad to get some inside info on why the levels were changed, my faith in BFS is restored! Sorry it slipped- I have some level replays to send... like Frosted Slide and Redirect....since I haven't worked on anything but Plains lately. Of course the "blown up" replays (4?) are gone for good. And those sent to me by other dollers don't work either.
Thanks so much Idoctor and Foxtail! If anyone else has information, feedback or replays to share, please let me know. We're looking into all of this right now. If you have any additional details regarding some of the levels in question, that would be great too. Specifically we'd love to know what changes may have affected your ability to get high scores on Circular Logic, Slip Up and Redirect. Feel free to PM me as well if you don't want to give away too many of your "secret shots". Thanks again all!
I haven't checked anything because I've been playing the new level nearly non stop. The only thing I noticed was Frosted Slide. I was showing a replay to my wife and it's a replay of me not hitting the target.
Changes to new levels resulting in lower scores I don't think any of these are big secrets. Here are the levels I know of that resulted in lower scores and why. These comments are specific to RB3 HD. Not sure about RB3 LD. 1) Circular logic - top of screen chopped off. best aim was in the area that was cut off. 2) Slip Up - lower score after update because of different scoring system for time. the one shot is much easier and faster, but the score is worse. 3) Redirect - unclear if one shot still possible - anyone gotten this after update? One shot was possible by shooting at the bottom of the screen on HD which is now cut off. 4) Frosted Slide - no gap between door. used to be able to slide a doll through gap and get a 2.
That list looks good to me. I think the 4 levels listed above are the only real troublemakers as scores on the other changed levels are higher. Redirect seems theoretically possible as mentioned, but I'm not going to put the time in to find out. Can someone confirm the bottom was cut off? I think the main change is that the first ball drops down a bit later than it did before. I don't have an old screencap to look at the old version of the level. Either way, it would likely be worth less because it would now be slower since you need to pause a bit before the first shot.
@Backflip How you should resolve the changed levels situation (imho) 1) Get a list of changed levels from last release (you should have this), asking the user community what is "different" is not really solving the problem as other not yet known or realised side effects of changing levels could be found at any point so you may never get an exhastive list that way. 2) create a new world with all the old versions of the changed levels 3) leave the new changed levels where they are 4) have an upgrade script to move everyones scores to the new world (yes this means that scores in previous rooms would be zeroed and have to be done again - annoying but at least you catch all known and possible scenarios in one update. I'm sure there will be some flaws in the logic - i.e. what if you dont upgrade and have a high score. anyway just my 2c Hi everyone - sorry not been playing at all - but been lurking. Some crazy shots going on.
Just when I thought it was safe to go to sleep, now I'm gonna dream about bombslider1. Sheesh! How about just a direction X? N?S?E?W? WendyKingston
Bomb Slider 1 Whoa! Not what I was expecting. Ok it was worth the deal. Only two ways I see this happening. Either getting a doll through the back door and forgetting the bomb or sliding an acrobatic dolly that hits very high on the bomb or just hits the target outright.
Crap! I was sincerely hoping it wouldnt be that all unlikely third way. Going to take longer to find the spot.
Wow, what ragdoll sorcery is this? Not from above, not from below; perhaps there is an ice wormhole? I'm sure I will never get a 1 on this level even if I'm told how, but my mind is boggled by the mere idea of it... I'm looking forward to an explanation/video replay some day.
