Might be fun if GLU's servers were any good. Just as lost server connections cost us gold and more in the normal hunts, lost server connections are taking all the life out of tournament play. Almost 50% of my tournament play had ended with a server error message and the loss of the rounds results. Once again, GLU introduces a half *** "improvement".

Android here also but no tournaments. Where do you see them at in the game?

Btw: Server issues seem to have been addressed. I have not been disconnected since Sunday evening. Gotta give credit when credit is due...good work GLU.

Very very soon!
Thank you for the privilege. Gotta admit...this update took a big step towards converting me. Very innovative idea.
." I shot against 9 straight opponents named Playerdi6h, player34pm, player6sms, etc. All of who, after my perfect or near perfect rounds, beat me by over 425% margin? After hundreds and hundreds of dollars on GLU, this is the one that will probably cause me to slam my Google wallet shut. Beware.
Which tournament are you in? Gold, silver, proving grounds?
Thanks!
Your post was approved! FYI if you are not signed into Facebook we assign you a random name called... You guessed it "PlayerXXXXX"! If you're not signed in I'm sure that 6th grader was cursing PlayerABC12 (Gave you a random name). We did not add any AI to this so one of the reasons we had to test the servers the way we did with Google was we were concerned we couldn't get enough people playing right away for matches to be made. From my experience I haven't had to wait more than 3 seconds so I'm sure happy with that.
Please do give us your feedback both negative and positive. Please do give constructive criticism as our usual response to "Glu suxorz" as the only feedback is to ignore or giggle. ;-)
Ok sounds like there was a mistake in the rules for Gold. You CAN lose stars at all ranks in Gold. We will have that text fixed in our next update.
Thanks for calling this out!
I have been one of GLU's larger critics in regards to DH16 but I have to disagree with you. I have been playing in the tournament since late Saturday...I have seen no evidence it is rigged. You are simply going through the learning curve, I did as well my first time through. Contrary to what you think, accuracy is not the key to winning many of the boards so long as you do not miss the target. There are patterns you need to learn and certain upgrades you need to make to your pistols, especially in the gold rounds. Unfortunately for you, it sounds as if many of the folk you are shooting against have figured this out before you. I was banging my head against the wall in some of the later gold rounds for two days until I figured it out. I would be ahead almost the whole round and then my opponent would beat me by 5000 pts in the last 15 seconds. Once you figure out the pattern, you will be surprised at how easily you missed it.
You are correct about one thing however, it seems the servers are being outpaced since the rollout today. Hopefully, this is resolved quickly as losing so many round results is frustrating. Heck, that was the reason I began this thread.
Where are the Proving Grounds, Roone?
I also would like to replay the Christmas levels though since we paid for them, they were really fun.
Also when losing a star between levels, you lose 2 instead. For example if you are on Rank 11 with no stars because you lost the last round, if you lose the next round you will be taken down to Rank 12 with only 2 out of the 4 stars.
I have also noticed that it takes energy away from you no matter whether or not it finds an opponent. This can happen several times in a row and with only having 10 energy is frustrating.
Another thing taking energy is the "Something went wrong" error box which can happen randomly (clicking Play, looking for players, during play or even waiting for the opponents score).
