Please fix the mystery boxes Whats the point of paying 500 coins to get bag after bag of 100-250 coins? Very very cheap if you ask me Also lets get some missions and new level backgrounds its getting a bit stale
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's exactly the point of a mystery box. There has to be an element of luck in it. You shouldn't expect to win at every gamble.
Actually it was broke and they did fix it Originally you would keep unlocking character tokens from characters that were already unlocked. So i spent thousands of coins buying mystery boxes only to get tokens that were eventually deleted. Instead of rewarding players for the "extra" tokens that they collected from this glitch they just deleted the extras in the update. Also since posting here I have kept track of the amount of boxes I purchased and the prizes i have received: 50 boxes purchased 29 Bags of Coins 250 or LESS 7 Yutani Tokens 3 Head Starts 1 Bag of 1000 Coins 2 Bag of 500 Coins 8 2x Hoverboards Nearly 30/50 boxes gave me coin bags of 250 coins or less (some being 100 coins). That's not random that's cheap. I am not complaining aimlessly I am trying to provide the developer with game data so he/she can better improve the game. I want this game to continue to grow as all my friends and family play it very often but without fixes like this, new missions, and new level designs it will become stale very quickly. Not to mention one of the characters (Frizzy) costs 150,000 coins to unlock which IAP purchase equals $20.00. I can average roughly 1,000 coins a game, so i have to play 100 games to unlock that one character or pay $20 sorry thats unfair and stupid.
Hmm. I had noticed something like that after the update but I thought it was just my impression or just bad luck. But I did notice that the 250 coin sacks appeared much more often now than before the update. I also noticed that mystery boxes appear much more often than before. At first I would run into one every 15 runs or so. Now I run into them every 3-5 runs, sometimes in a row. Guess that's to balance it out? I remember DBC saying he NEVER ran into mystery boxes, maybe he gets more coins per purchased mystery box? Like I previously said, it might just be my impression. If anything was tweaked with the mystery boxes, only Kiloo could confirm. I'm not too bothered by it though.
New update removes curves. I'm not updating. haha. At least not until I get some impressions from other users who did update. Is the difference that noticeable?
It's funny you mention the vanishing/deleted tokens thing, I just noticed that last night... wasn't there some plan to roll the extras over somehow? DBC
I never did really end up getting all that many Mystery Boxes, but I definitely didn't get any pay-outs that registered as significant, except I got 10 Hoverboards once! Between the leaderboard/hoverboard thing and the dearth of MBs, I've pretty much bailed on the game at this point. I still try the daily quests, but if I don't see a letter in my first 9-10 runs, that's pretty much it. Love the gameplay and the controls are ridiculously well-done, but I just don't really have a reason to play at this point... Knowing Kiloo and their work on other games, I suspect achievements/missions/other encouragements are forthcoming, at which point I'll likely become horribly addicted to the game again... Anyhoo, good luck all! DBC
This game is ridiculously addicting and fun but it has run its course. I have unlocked all the characters, reached all the achievements, maxed out the boosts, and unlocked all the trophies. This game needs the following: -new level design, as you progress further the background changes -new characters only if they add different characteristics -new boosts/upgrades -new missions -fix the mystery boxes (every time i get 100 coins, even after restarting my iPhone its becoming very annoying) The removal of the curves does make the gameplay slightly different (sucks bc I just was getting used to the curves and reached a game with 5200 coins and a score of a 1 million + yesterday) but I think the game is more fair in terms of seeing whats in front of you and reacting when the track is not curved I updated and I am happy.
Subway Surfers, among other great games is up for the Unity Awards 2012. http://unity3d.com/awards/2012 There are some great games in that category that I've played and liked a lot, but these is only one that I've enjoyed the most.
Im wondering the same. And are the curves truly removed (track is always straight) or does the track simply always curve left again and never right? (It has never been just straight, but it did used to always go left and seemingly people never noticed!) I really like the curves; ideally left AND right because variety = interest! But at least a constant left curve would be better than pure straight. Straight would be more generic feeling, and would often give less warning of powerups coming up.
There's still track curving but it's minimal compared to the last update. And I've never noticed the left curving until now. So yes, it still never seems to go right.
It's arriving very soon Late August, early September is probably the target depending on the Apple review process. Will keep you posted!
plz help me i use iphone4s ios5 i play this game since first version no problem until last week. All of my friend in my friend list was disappear!!! i dont know how to fix them. i try to relogin in game center and facebook both. but nothing change. In finally, i decide to delete and load this game again but the result is same before !!!! in friend menu, it has 2 icon one is login in fb and game center. after i press login by fb all of my friend were disappear and have only command bottom "recommend to friend" how can i solve this problem T T plz help me
Well, let's assume the Yutani items are worth 500 coins since mystery boxes are the only way to get them. I'll also assume you had a roughly equal number of 100 and 250 coin bags for an average of 175. That means the total value of what you got from the 50 mystery boxes was 15,495 coins and you spent 25,000. If you do average 1000 coins per game, you're only short 10 games. That's really not bad considering the potential for greater value as well as the mere fact mystery boxes are supposed to be a gamble. I've rarely encountered a system where you break even in a game. As to the "20 dollar character," I think you're burning the wick at both ends on that argument because what you're illustrating is that the effort to "make 20 dollars" in the game does not equate to 20 dollars. If it WERE worth 20 dollars of effort, the only people who'd likely get the character would be people who paid 20 dollars.
Hi inlover, We had an issue with our server that might have caused this problem. Do you still have problems with the friend list?
yes i still have a problem i just open this app again and it still has 2 icon one is login in fb and game center. after i press login by fb all of my friend were disappear and have only command bottom "recommend to friend" nothing change
Hmm alright. I'll have to direct you to our support team at [email protected] They should be able to walk you through a possible solution.
Game center It doesn't look like the achievements are updating. I scored 1.6 million three weeks ago but still havent unlocked the achievement for scoring 400,000. There are five more that I should have unlocked weeks ago but still haven't. It does seem to update the ones I unlock for buying a new character.
Thanks, yeah, there's a couple of achievements that's not unlocking properly. The update is on its way, will be submitted this week, which should take care of the problem.
