An update from Tetris Friends

[ZacTASTIC]

Hey I hope this isn't too off topic... but what's dynamic garbage? I understand the whole concept of garbage, but what's the difference between normal and dynamic?

DYnamic garbage means that if you lose, your garbage gets straighter and if you win, your garbage gets harder to handle.

SO it helps the losers win and makes the winners lose.

It makes it so the same person can't keep winning.

Check out http://tetrisfriends.tetrisdev.com

Tetris Live works on http://tetrisfriends.tetrisdev.com even when tetrisfriends.com is down. Test rooms also work fine and ranked rooms are still unavailable.

Looks like there is a new game mode RUSH (if you look at the missions in the Mission Starter Pak 2). Couldn't find it on the site so I guess its still not available.

There is also a new shop feature where you can buy Rubies for 10 cents per ruby available in 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 Rubies. So 100 Rubies= 10.00 etc... You can then purchase sfx, voice styles, and other customizable features for you tetris profile (they won't be getting any of my money).

Everything on the leaderboard is out of date. Also when you get on the site, you will not have any of your friends or badges.

Looks interesting and future mission seem to be very time consuming, especially the ones in the 2nd Mission Pak.

Thanks to bigwig!

"Rubies"? It'd be cool if the player could buy these:

Lamp oil: Defeat all "hide" attacks (hide preview, hide blocks in matrix, etc.) from opponents.
Rope: When dropped into a column, clear all lines in that column as if it were a huge I piece. Then the rope retracts.
Bombs: Super Tetris style or Bombliss style or DuelTris/Tetris Jr. style, I'm not sure which would be best.

You want it? It's yours, my friend.

My guess is that RUSH is 20G SRS gameplay

[tempfelix]

so you can buy 10000 rubies for $1000? sounds like a good deal to me.

i don't think they are actual gems

The exchange rate was $1/100 rubies (which sound like rubles, russia's currency.)
tetrisdev now requires a password.

tetrisdev now requires a password.

It was a matter of time before they did that. They should let beta tester have access to that site. Aside from ranked mode, whenever they decide to release that, it does not seem that gameplay at tetrisfriends.com will advance much in the next couple months. It was fun while it lasted.

A sign of times of change for Tetris Friends? This heralds the coming of pay-to-play TF...I think.

[ZZOmega]

Maybe they're adding all the cool crap that Blockbox has. DAS and RS options maybe?

[clincher]

Crap?!
You can change your DAS already
and choosing your RS is not gonna happen
