Tapulous: Shakes gotta go. Seriously. Or re-do them altogether. Take a poll and see who likes them. Blame my ignorance of not knowing the numbers but I haven't heard ONE person who actually *enjoys* playing with them.

Practically every tap track in TTR nowadays has the same 15 second group of annoying shakes in the middle of the song... *sigh* Left...Up...Right...Up...Left...Up...BORING. It's just not fun. Fun is a well thought-out tap sequence which hits the rhythm of the vocals or beats or guitars or something where you get some sort of feeling out of the song.

Shakes, on the other hand, always seem like the orphan child of the song, always placed oddly and without much rhyme or reason as if someone was forced to put them in. Keep the fundamentals of the game--which is tapping--and do the right thing...ship em out!

For "no shakes" in the online rooms, I think the Tapulous server should just read into the settings of all the players currently in the room and take the majority rule of what people have it as under each's personal settings (i.e., Off or On, based on what most people prefer).

And another vote for the FC icon on the results screen

This has been happening to me A LOT lately. For days at a time 1P mode is straight unplayable. The tap track fails to load on the screen with the "tip", even though the song starts.

Ttr3 loses it's fun and my interest when im hit with so many goddamn bugs and glitches

By sliding manuever I think he means at 1:08 and 2:12 on the Heroes vid. sneaky move...I never saw a reason to use that tap + hold thing that until now. The end reaction is f-ing hilarious too. "F you Dragonforce!!!!"

This happened to me. I had to download the Twinkle app to fix it, though, and I just unfollowed a whole bunch of people from my friends list. Basically I cut my list from about 350 or so down to around 100 before it went back to loading OK in ttr3

LOL. Oh my God. Someone imprint this quote on a mug and give it to me for Christmas. This is 100x better than "All Your Base" – TappThatAzz, on November 07, 2009 04:19

Same problem here, only its the "Friends" tab for me....when clicked, the circular graphic just goes round and round and nothing loads. All other tabs are fine

Hahahaha

YA maybe I should add a disclaimer to my suggestion for playing TTR at the gym:

On the bike = Yes
Waiting for the next run on basketball court = Yes
On a treadmill = No
On an elliptical = No
While lifting weights = No
In the pool = No

Here's what you should do: be more specific.

The Perfect Time to Play TTR?

...at the GYM. Kills time like crazy. Usually the gym can be such a drag, right? Well holy crap I jumped on a bike last night, started up old school TTR2, and went through the Extreme set a few times until my battery ran out.

Then I looked up at the clock and realized that I had been riding the bike for over 2 HOURS. Didn't even notice...thanks tapulous for making my workouts go by quicker

TappThatAzz replied on October 23, 2009 08:29 to the idea "Thumbs or Fingers Selection" in Tapulous:

I agree with Cumy.

When you hit a bunch of notes real fast with one thumb, that thumb is guaranteed to be *off* the screen between each hit; whereas, if you use two thumbs--even following the beat perfectly--you drop taps due to the spliiiiit of a second where both thumbs touch the screen.

A good way to avoid this is do exactly what krohn is saying up there, and that's tap faster. Look at any online video and you'll notice that these mutantly-good TTR pros make each tap so fast. Like BOOM. Thumb hits the screen and comes off. BOOM. so fast. It takes practice.

TappThatAzz replied on October 19, 2009 06:29 to the idea "Guest Mode" in Tapulous:

Yaaa last night I let my g/f try TTR3 online and after a few songs she absolutely *hammered* my online rating...lol...No big deal but a "Guest" mode would be nice for 2 reasons:

1) You wanna let someone else use your ipod/phone without touching your character, or

2) You're in the mood to play online with a "just for the hell of it" mentality and don't wanna worry about your scores

"Guest" players would be able to rank after each song, but they would have no record of past scores, no profile and also NO effect on other players' points/rankings. You could even make the "Guest" avatar some kind of generic character (dare I say Tapulous mascot lol).

The only problem, maybe, is that it could be harder to keep players accountable for anything (hacking, cheating, inappropriate chat, whatever).

TappThatAzz shared an idea in Tapulous on October 19, 2009 05:50:

Skipping Next Round Earlier

Tapulous: Would you please adjust the "Skip Round" feature in between songs so that it appears earlier (i.e,. as soon as the last song ends), rather than just in the last 10 seconds of wait time?

Often I know immediately that I want to skip the next song, but have to wait a minute to so before I can opt out and step away from my iPod

TappThatAzz replied on October 16, 2009 21:10 to the problem "Another glitch. This time bombs." in Tapulous:

HAha...yep in theory it *was* a good thing not having to worry about hitting the taps with bombs--and actually I did win the first time it bombglitched me--except I'm not sure that bomb-laden taps even net you any points. If so. then that's another thing needs to be fixed.

And as funny as I usually find all these glitches later on, usually in the moment I'm suuuuper piiiiiissed having to go from competitive and focused on a 500-note streak to like "wtf just happened?" and in last place. lol. ya so hopefully the glitches go away.

At least frbbl up there has seen them too, so I know I'm not crazy.

TappThatAzz reported a problem in Tapulous on October 16, 2009 10:00:

Another glitch. This time bombs.

Happened on three separate songs tonight...about a dozen bombs came down on me, all at once and on straight taps.

Look at that....come on now. First the in-game keyboard & mass lightning yesterday and now this...is nobody else experiencing these glitches?

TappThatAzz replied on October 15, 2009 15:56 to the problem "Sorry, but I hate online" in Tapulous:

:D Thx Chris...Yea I know about the Shield which is AWESOME in this situation, since the bomb indication blinks up top before coming down. But the odds of getting a shield....not so good.....and to get one before you are hit with a b-trap...even less likely.

I'd definitely put this issue at the top of the "fix list," especially as something to correct for the "hard core" players I'm hearing about who play TTR more for the scoring aspect, than for the mischief and randomness

TappThatAzz replied on October 15, 2009 15:34 to the problem "Sorry, but I hate online" in Tapulous:

Bomb issue is getting more prevalent now....especially in Extreme rooms where majority of the songs have quick taps, dropping a bomb in a row of taps will *guarantee* you lose your combo. Either you hit the ball immediately following the bomb but still activate the bomb, or you let the bomb and following ball safely pass. Either way, combo is history.

Seems like online players now are getting smart to this and dropping bombs on all the fast tapping parts. Ya its part strategy, but unlike the other weapons which are avoidable if you're good enough to do so, the "bomb trap" is not avoidable
