Personal Goal - 100m on every table=Doable?

[rapierdwit]

That's a wrap.

Finally...The Rock has Come Back...no, wait. Sorry. Finally, Speed Machine has fallen. Threw up at 100m score on my sixth ball. Finished with 104m, after a 5 hour marathon of Playing the table, I was burnt to a crisp.

Up next? Prolly try to pick up a few achievements I have missed and beat a few wizard modes I have not managed to so yet. So, static goal complete...and No, I am NOT going for 1 Billion on every table

Thank you! Actually, it was more frustrating than "normal" playing. I am ready to kick back and hopefully just let things flow for awhile

Shut up. You are not. You're a tactician and a chronic overthinker when it comes to pinball. You can no more start a game of pinball and just whack the ball around wherever it may go, than I'm able to refrain from looking at good looking, scantily clad women. LOL

LMAO You too, eh?

How about a Playboy or Hustler table? Talk about multi-ball. LOL Maybe light up "JUGS" for the kickbacks? LOL

This is all your fault. I'm just sayin' it now.

There are three missions I go out of my way NOT to activate, however. The Dive mission blows. having to hit the center, then hit an orbit before the lamps die out just isn't my bag. I also absolutely positively NEVER go out of my way to dick around with the Kraken. That is a serious waste of time. What's that mofo pay out if you actually take him down anyway? The last thing I don't go out of my way to activate is the Mine Probe multiball. If I get to the point where I need it for wizard mode, I will. But I'll already have to have beaten the Dive mission to bother.

Still...can someone please explain to me what it means when Escape is lit on the bottom left? I am absolutely CLUELESS about how to use the left plunger, or how to hit anything when I actually get to use it (which has been like, 3 times in a year). I'm positive I can get really good scores on this if I ever get ANY kind of multiplier. A video showing how to do this would be awesome.

Ok first off yes the dive mission is not fun but if you go more than 30 Meters you light free ball so...theres that..

Kraken fury (or whatever it's called) is not a mission it's a punishment. The reward for taking him down is ending the mode.

Escape. This is to avoid Kraken fury. After hitting the left ramp a few times (IDK 5-6 maby) escape will light. (escape route revealed) The next time you hit that ramp, as the ball is coming up to the escape route (right where the light is at) hit the A button. This will divert the ball from the left ramp to the right saucer thing and you get 100K points and reset the kraken fury punishment mission.

left plunger- You have to hit those little sea creatures on the right first, then the targets kind of pop in and out. You hit one of the moving targets and it "Activates" the left plunger. I have yet to find to find a reliable way to get the ball to the left plunger, you basicly have to drain down the left far outlane. Then it's a total crapshoot IMO to launch the ball horizontally acros the table and hit the correct sea creature (the one thats lit) to up the multiplier. I never do this....

Sotd seems to be one of the few tables with punishment missions and it really bothers me. I consider Rome to do this as well... The janus head mission - it rewards points I guess but everything else is turned off while it's active. Also pasha and "The carvan is under attack"...who cares let them die, I just want to steal pasha's lamp and get some treasure while I'm at it. Mabey kill a giant snake and make some boots.

Whats you're GT now BTW? OMGITSHUGE is unactive, I mssged cloda to find out also but if you read this first PM me.

blue balls multiball?

[UranusIsBroken]

blue balls multiball?

LMAO



BTW, I sent you a PM with my GT. I'm an idiot. I forgot there are spaces in there.

Also...thanks for the info on the Kraken! Usually I just trap the ball and wait for the mode to time out. I wish preventing an invasion in ED was as simple.

Wouldn't they be called Bouncebacks rather than kickbacks

Once I quit talking to Uranus, I was able to beat wizard mode on Pasha last night and get that cheevo. So, two birds with one stone (Wiz and Achievment).

Updated the scores on my earlier post (http://forum.zenstudios.com/showpost...1&postcount=95)

I improved on a few scores this week. Glad I did because Cloda is closing in on my Superscore. He also beat my Rome score this week

[rapierdwit]

Oh, I just want to note I have totally lost my groove on the Bandits Mini-game. I went 1/10 on beating that stupid thing when going for wizard mode...and it didn't get any better the more I played I guess I will keep plugging at it until I get that silly beat all the bandits cheevo. It downright embarrassing that I have not gotten that one. It is the only Non-Wizard Cheevo I have not gotten...Oh, wait, there is that Spiderman/Doc Ock one. All of Uranus's talk of other tables made it hard to focus on playing Pasha, which I need to do to up my score on it LOL

[Cloda]

One of my mates got a score of 520M on this table and he was only playing for 6-7mins. Something to do with multipliers, or being blessed, and completing Romulus mulitball (Only once though). How did he get that score? Glitch or luck or what?

I recently took on Rome again, fully with the intention of playing through the campaign and completing the Wizard mode. I have achieved it once after obsessing over the table for about a month solid. My high score was 132 million and I was pretty chaffed with it.... that effort also kicked off my confidence on other tables and I'm still making steady progress.

Yesterday, by chance I activated the Romulus multiball and low and behold before I knew it I had 88 million... it was such a surprise that I completely tensed up and buggered up the rest of the game (I knew about it, but have never been able to complete it). I then decided that I must give it a shot to see if I can get it again... before I knew it I had completed it twice more and my new score is now 150million+ and that's unfortunately it for me ever playing the table properly again... I'll most probably try from time to time to increase my score by doing the Romulus Multiball but it just don't feel worth it to go through the considerable effort and patience required again to get to the Wizard mode if you can double your score in a couple of minutes through another means.

Oh. I see. So...you told me you had to call it a night, stayed up playing pinball, and just...turned your online status to invisible???

I'm crushed. </3
