tempdisplay Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Has anyone noticed that there's something weird with games on neopets: *They open in the same pages *It says my high score for every game is 4,222 It did start on April Fools or just after it but it's still going on now :eh: http://www.neopets.com/games/play.phtml?game_id=366[/img] Quote
jemm Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Mine are all at 2248, which is my Pyramids high score (my highest score on any game is 6493, the my high scores page still works.) I think there are some bugs right now, when I went to get my Aldator prize, it gives me the page I got when I first completed it. "Altador beams at you as you approach. "So! We finally have a reward for your valiant efforts to restore the history of this great land. I must apologize for the delay, but it has taken us some time to regain our bearings. Suddenly remembering the entirety of one's history is quite taxing."" I finished it a long time ago, there are some weird things going on right now. Quote
Xepha Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Yes it's a glitch... my highest score for all games is stucked at 82! That's funnier, I think :P Quote
Strategos Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 If you look, the top of the page changes when you load the game. I'm pretty sure it's deliberate. Quote
Xepha Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Yes, that part is normal. Neopets added ads into the gameroom... some games are loading directly in your browser, and other are loading in popup. Quote
whitesand Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Some of the sponsor games dont seem to be working for me. Anyone else experiencing this too? :* Quote
antiaircraft Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Everything seems to be fine for me... maybe it's a local glitch? Or perhaps it's just cleared up already? Quote
tempdisplay Posted April 6, 2008 Author Posted April 6, 2008 yay i'm not the only one! boo when will it stop?!? Quote
ho_yt Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I don't really like it because you can't play a few games at once and some still have another window opening but the screen quality is not as good as previously... Quote
antiaircraft Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Hmm... I've noticed that happening as well. From the look of the page, it seems that TNT is actually trying to put the games on the new page instead of a new window - perhaps they want to force us to look at the ads while we play? Quote
ho_yt Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I acturally saw some lines appearing in some of the games since this change, so I don't really like the new change... Update: I also notice that when I play the kiko match today and pressed "play game" button, it shows a screen telling me that the game is not avaliable, maybe the TNT is still not stable with this new change...

TheCookieDragon Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I'm fairly certain it's an advertising thing. Now, every time you load a game, they get up to three ad hits. Unfortunately, this is not only buggy (at the moment) but distracting! I for one can't play any games that require concentration in the same window as a bunch of flashing, annoying ads. Anything that requires me to watch the entire game screen at once, especially using my peripheral vision, gets totally screwed up by the ads' flashing. I think I see something at the edge of the game and react to it, which makes me miss what's actually happening. Like Itchy Invasion, for instance. You have to watch the whole game screen for the various bugs, and in later levels, you have to pick and choose to some extent which bugs you hit, so you can make it to the next ammo refill. I see some blue thing off to the side, and I think, ooo, big score! And no. It's a bloody ad. Lovely. -.-;; In my opinion, it's a bad move on Neopets' part. TDC Quote
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 The altador plot is not working for me either. The meteor of kreludor isn't working too, the crash site. I just don't understand why! All my high scores are stuck at 720 as well... :worried: Quote
Sassy_Eggs Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 My high scores are all at 154. I'm not playing many games anymore. The ads slow them down too much and I keep dying or the game will just end. It's frustrating to say the least. Quote
m3l3ana Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Probably a good thing about being a Premium member.. Sucks that you can't even open it in a new window, then again it would probably still show the ads. Quote
antiaircraft Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Well I can still play reasonably well, since I am using Firefox with the AdBlock Plus extension (highly recommended by the way!). :yes: The glitches are still annoying though, and even the basic nature of this move is getting on my nerves... Quote
Ithil Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I like this new game thing. And I don't care about ads because I use Adblock (I never see the ads TNT muahahaha :laughingsmiley: ) All my highscores are set to 144, funny glitch, not really annoying. *shrug* Quote
antiaircraft Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 It's not just the scores that are glitching - a few of the games have become unstable as well. :( Additionally, now a whole new page has to be loaded every time I open a game (instead of simply loading the game in a pop-up window). Quote
Ithil Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Additionally, now a whole new page has to be loaded every time I open a game (instead of simply loading the game in a pop-up window). That's right. It's not just the scores that are glitching - a few of the games have become unstable as well. :( I think I didn't experience that. Which games are affected? Anyway that's an annoying glitch. :mellow: Quote
antiaircraft Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Kiko Match is having problems (as mentioned earlier), and for some reason random lines keep turning up on the screen (not sure which games this applies to, but it's annoying anyway). Quote
Xepha Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 It's not just the scores that are glitching - a few of the games have become unstable as well. :( Additionally, now a whole new page has to be loaded every time I open a game (instead of simply loading the game in a pop-up window). And what do you think a popup window is? It's a whole new page, loading in a smaller area that goes over the main browser thing... So it was already a whole new page loading, except he had less elements on it (neopets layout and ads). None of the games that I tried were glitching, including kiko match 2... So I guess it's case to case, depending of your computer and your browser. Quote
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I haven't had any problems besides the high score glitch. :mellow: Quote
m3l3ana Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Has anyone actually reported this to TNT? My High scores are still sitting at 580, but I have not noticed the game glitches, then again I only play certain games. Quote
MoyraX Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I don't mind the games loading in a normal window i guess. The popup windows kinda bug me sometimes, lol. The MASS ad flood on the other hand, yeah, those i mind. Neo is becoming an ad city? Arg -_- Quote
