An update from Tetris Friends

[XaeL]

The main differences in TOJ and TF are
TF has fail softdrop
Expert mode makes softdrop faster, but still slow compared to toj.
U dont need to rank up, u start with maxed out setings (custom das etc in url)
Expert mode is only for the room. i.e. some rooms have fast softdrop/set garbage, other rooms have bs garbage and fail softdrop.

[jujube]

So, how much effort should I put into ranking up? Are people going to play this often? Where does Expert+ put it in comparison to TOJ (excluding fast DAS, IRS, IHS, upgrading, etc.)?

they got rid of the Expert+ room option at TF. did they bring it back?

[m__]

nope, no e+, only e rooms.  but you can make a room with hard drop in the room name now.

i think tf guys will never learn to not upload svn metadata and upcoming modes to their webserver:

looks like tf devs don't watch their language much. maybe this is why arena chat filter is so strict.

Unity plugin? I've never heard of it. But anything's gotta be better than Flash, right?

[Wojtek]

yes, it would be much better than flash in terms of performance and speed. but from what i can see they just started experimenting with it, so i don't think we can expect anything anytime soon.

[iphys]

Wow, that would be awesome.  Playing with Flash is terrible, really terrible sometimes.

thats a pretty good prize

too bad there's no flash on an iPad

[massi4h]

Oh man I saw your avatar Blink and my dad told me that it's a new tetris arena item. And yeah wow that is really pathetic.
"Use up your rubies and now it is even less about skill because we'll stop you from losing rank." ffs this is so pathetic, just to make casual noobs feel better about themselves thinking they are highly ranked.
