New version update of Zen Pinball 2: v1.02

[shogun00]

as for the kickback lights on blade i don't think they fixed that

Yep! It looks like they ignored that one. I just pretend that they are dead bulbs. It's pretty common to see in real machines.

Looks like Extra Ball is glitched on Plants v Zombies now. It doesn't always register once you get one. Also, I can't tell a difference in the multipliers advancing but I still need to test this more.

Trophy card

Hey shogun, your sad sad trophy card is upsetting me... Not only are you missing images, but if you go to your profile, it actually has the wrong completion percentage for the game... Why don't you use the trophy card from my site, psntl.com.

It's far more accurate, has much more information, up to you... Just thought I'd make you aware of it!

yes i saw the same extra ball glitch on pvz , it was clearly lit and when i hit it i got nothing i think it may be the jack in the box reward , if its 10 orbits shots ifor extra during ball save i didn't light it like that ,
and if its 10 orbits shots for extra ball during save thats hard

Wow what a change for PVZ. I wanted to see what kind of change was done so I started a quick game. You don't start with your Kickbacks and it's much harder to get them IMO. You have to hit the orbits several times. I'm not sure how many times you are supposed to do it but it felt like a lot. Getting ball save is the same. You have to shoot the orbits a lot more than before the patch.

You've got Mail takes more shots to hit. I think you have to shoot the ramp 3-4 times in order to light a letter.

I couldn't tell if the fixed the multiplier from Jack-in-the-box quite yet.

PvZ leaderboard hasn't reset. I suppose you couldn't really, since everyone would be in uproar about it.

I don't think it will make a massive difference. You Have Mail doesn't score a huge amount of points. If anything, it means you can activate the main missions quicker and get to the wizard mode without always having to pause for You Have Mail all the time.

I am sure glad I got my score in before the changes!!!

PvZ leaderboard <i>hasn't</i> reset. I suppose you couldn't really, since everyone would be in uproar about it.

It has been done on Pinball Arcade under similar circumstances. An alternative would be to either change the font colour or put a marker next to scores achieved on v1.02. This way, old scores stand, but it allows players to make a fairer comparison.

Odin's gift bug on Thor table has NOT been fixed.

I noticed the silver coin value on PvZ seems to have dropped. It used to be $250 (the operator's menu still says that) but now they only seem to yield $100. That does make it take a little longer before you can afford the 2x score upgrade. This seems appropriate now since you have to work for 2x scoring a little.

On the other hand, I think that maybe 2 shots per letter for You Have Mail Multiball would have been a better choice than 3 per letter. If it had been 3 per letter from the beginning I wouldn't be thinking twice about it, and I agree that it was definitely too easy to start up before, but now it seems like its gone too far in the other direction, especially when you consider the extra shots it takes to activate the ball saver now. Plus it seems very sensible to me if one shot made the letter flash and the next made it solid, and it took an even 10 shots to start the multiball. It used to be 6 and now 14 seems a bit drastic of a change I guess.

All in all I guess the updates did do a good job of eliminating what felt like endless multiballs on this table though.

Odin's gift bug on Thor table has NOT been fixed.

Neither has the misspelling of Ymir as Yimir on the DMD after you select one of his missions.

It seems in PS3 the "automatic" nudge has disappeared. But still missing a "Screen lock option" in Vita.

[Rafie]

This is really exciting news. I'm very happy about the trophy requirements for the new tables.

It seems in PS3 the "automatic" nudge has disappeared. But still missing a "Screen lock option" in Vita.

There's always been a way to lock it: Go to Settings, Video, and click "screen orientation." It will do either portrait, landscape or auto. Pick either portrait or landscape to set it so it won't flip around

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I would really like the feature the PBFX2 engine has that lets you see if your friends have the trophies you achieved, or didn't achieve. I thought it would have been standard to put that on there. I know it's no big deal, but when I see that most of my friends have achieved what I haven't...it motivates me to "join the club" so to speak.

+1, you have my vote!

That's why you guys decided to ignore my suggestions?

We certainly can't implement every single suggestion that we get. We try to fix major bugs first, and then go down the list from there. Your suggestions for the UI were great, but not exactly easy to execute on an already complex game. Please don't assume that we ignored your suggestions, were we a bigger team, we'd be able to do much more.
