Kickback, Multipliers, Ball Savers and Extra Balls

Mandatory bump for a thread that has zero business being on the bottom of page two. This thread needs to be stickied, and periodically cleaned up so replies don't appear after their content has been updated into the original posters primary post.

Edit: Hey flynn...I have a suggestion. Can you cut/paste the information for each table in such a manner that the tables appear in alphabetical order in your post? It will make finding the information for a given table easier.

No problem, buddy. On the case. I'm glad this has been added to the table guides thread. Thanks, admins.

Well...is there a way we could clean up the posts on the thread a bit?

Also...I think as a community, we need to step it up and try to all pitch in to fill in whatever blanks there are (see also Speed Machine & Xtreme).

And again, I think it would be nice if we could alphabetize the information by table so it's easier to comb through.

Thing with stickies is that they can clutter up the forum and a lot of people skip past them anyway. I think it is good as it is. Yeah there will be threads about it but they will sink to the bottom.

[UranusIsBroken]

Well, if they ask nicely I'm sure some of us would be happy to point them in the right direction

Some of us.

The point is, moving forward, the questions regarding how to activate ball saves, multipliers, etc. on various tables is going to get asked repeatedly, all with their own designated thread. That just clutters up the forum. If it was a little more transparent and obvious where those answers were being housed....


Only YOU can prevent the same questions from being asked over and over again.

[Nekro Neko]

That's nice. Hopefully those who are new to the forum will magically know to find it there.

No need, it's been linked in the stickied thread for table guides

Also, how is it possible with the age of this post, we still don't have information for Xtreme and Speed Machine? Those are like, 2 of the most popular tables in the FX2 suite, are they not? :-p

When I first signed on to live about two week ago, none of my scores were correct on-line - quite embarrassing as I pointed out certain achievements in the add friends thread (you won't see it there any more - I learned my lesson good ). Eventually after playing each of the tables a couple of times (not even full games) the scores slowly started updating until now all my scores are correct. So, I think it is just a matter of time before it will update. Only thing I noticed is that Xbox Live could not record when I achieved certain achievements - they only show I have them without the date achieved as with the ones I have achieved since I have been Live.

:-( No such luck.

Man, that sucks! I know how hard you rock this table, I would freak if I hit a score like that and it would not post! I broke my Nightmare Mansion score the other night by over 100m and the power went out before I finished...Not a happy camper.

[UranusIsBroken]

Should update next time you play Excalibur when connected.

:-( No such luck.

[rapierdwit]

Yeah. And we both know how well YOU "track" what you do. LOL It's a miracle you've been able to even put a guide together, much less two.

While I'm laughing at you....

I just bested my Excalibur score. Posted the 10th best score ever...only to find that my internet connection bombed and the score could not be posted to the leaderboard. 444K down the drain.

You me now laugh at ME. LOL

The only thing that's missing now is the relevant info for Speed Machine and Extreme. There are most likely multiple ways of earning these rewards on all the tables so please keep adding to this if you find a method that isn't already covered. This is quite close to being finished now. Good work guys!

Admins: Can this thread be stickied please or added to the strategy and guides section?

While you bring this up, I'd like to request the "strategy guide" sticky, be renamed "table guide...." A table guide is a detailed description of a table's features, lay out, and modes with basic information about how to trigger everything and what does what.

A "strategy guide", to me, would suggest a guide that would contain things such as scoring information (what on the table gives you "X" number of points), methods of attacking the table for maximum scoring, and how to hit specific shots.

Personally, I've seen many well put together table guides on this site, but quite frankly, I don't think the strategic aspect of most tables has really been delved into but sparingly. Now, I'm sure some folks might not be too forthcoming with information that could provide others with the ammunition needed to take down their own scores, but, I'd be more than willing to share what tips and tricks I have (and I admit, they're few LOL).

[UranusIsBroken]

Heathen is correct it was a theory I was working that I disproved. There is an extra ball, I have earned it just have to track what I did, at the time I did it was a partnership multiball but it was not from beating it.

Just a quick clarification, Agents does not award an extra ball for partnership multi-ball. If there is an extra ball on this table, I do not know how to activate it.
