No, I'm in marketing. This would be one heck of a marketing gimmick for a Halloween Pack. I will actually be disapointed with Zen's marketing department if they didn't do this. It's a no brainer to me.

Old acquaintance yet bought and played in PA. . . .


Why nothing new......

[Cloda]

Zen confirmed the price as $9.99 and gave the following reason for the two pack - "These are licensed by Universal and cannot be combined with other IP-s. So that's why they are a 2 pack".

It has also been known for quite a while that there were two achievement placeholders added to Steam for FX3. In the past it has always been quite a reliable indicator that new tables are on their way and how many especially once they started only giving one achievement per table.

These two excellent tables are totally worth $10. Probably still the best table pack yet even without a third "meh" table included like all of the other DLC packs so far... or the last set of tables, which were all meh.

You absolute madmen went and gave us the two most popular tables! Respect. My hat goes off to you, sirs.

I wonder if the pricing has changed for mobile. I keep reinstalling and deleting the app hoping for a reasonable pricing model. I’m not paying $20 per table for a “level 2” table without better physics, the ability to play offline or save the game. I asked during one of their twitch streams if pricing would ever reach parity with other platforms and if they would stop ripping off mobile users and they responded by saying they are constantly experimenting with different pricing models. Still haven’t seen a pricing model that doesn’t price gouge iOS users. And why are we still waiting on controller support on mobile? Hard pass.

Cheats

Once again we are offered a new batch of tables for us to play with while the leaderboards continue to have, within increasing numbers daily new computer users posting bogus scores. I want it fixed. We have been complaining for a VERY LONG time and the boards continue to be flooded with bogus scores. Remove them and ban the suspect IP's. Simple as that. I will not just give up on the game I love and watch it be destroyed by a handful of douche bags. I will post several examples as I have MANY, MANY times, but be assured that almost every board has easily identified examples. I mean, they mostly all end in zeroes but some of the smart ones are figuring out how to make it less obvious, but seriously, this is likely due in no small part to the fact that Zen has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to curtail the activity. This will not be my final word until something is done.

Zen, can we please get something done about this? I can assure you that the majority of the loyal player base are sick of these cheats, it's seriously tarnishing the game. Also, when will you wipe the horrible fake scores built using the now fixed infinite bumper glitch that run into the trillions on Aliens vs. Predator?

[M!chel]

And also ban any players under the CODEX name, which is basically an illegal cracked version of the game.
Or at least remove any scores under that name.

They don't deserve a place on any scoreboard, amongst other players who did pay for their games.

Agreed.

I agree on the pricing. I'm very happy not to pay more but have always thought that Zen's tables are super cheap for what you get.

I do feel different though about the meh tables. I absolutely loved the Vol 4 pack, each of the tables gave me a proper challenge and both the Vacation Jackpot and Big Payday took a lot of fun and enjoyable effort to get right in Classic Arcade. Even Hurricane was a blast once I got into the flow of it. I've played Junk Yard (the presumably Meh table for Vol 1) which was fun and am busy with The Pary Zone, which present a really in interesting challenge with it's relatively simplistic layout and ruleset. I keep on thinking I have my strategy down for it, and then I discover something else or a different combination of things to try. Admittedly, it is not going to keep me as busy as say Medieval Madness, but I still really enjoyed it.

Safe Cracker is the one I haven't played yet and I do feel a bit meh about it... but that is also what I felt before Hurricane, Junk Yard, and The Party Zone so hopefully it will also pleasantly surprise me.

While we're complaining about things could you fix Pinscape plunger support via 360 controller emulators on a PC? Cabinet owners have been asking for this for well over a year now.

Windows sees them properly. The controller emulator (in most cases x360ce) sees them properly. But in FX3 you apparently apply a deadzone that doesn't allow one for one physical/virtual plunger movement.

It may be easy for me to say this as I already have a code but I'd gladly pay a small fee for a cabinet code if it meant you guys would take cabinet mode more seriously.
