What view are you using? I use view 1, though maybe I should switch it to the top view for this particular shot, it might help.



Good call, I didn't think of that.

I use view 4 for all tables

View 6!

I'll try them all out lol there's a few tables where I have to use a different view, like with Spider-Man I have to have the top down view.

Just picked up the pack late last night on Steam and I really like this one so far absolutely love the video animation on the playfield, maybe because I've been rocking Future Pinball hard these days. This table almost goes out of the realm of pinball even by Zen and Pinball FX2 standards, but then throws you a curve for example the zipper flippers in the top playfield which totally blew me away because they are IMO paying homage to old style pinball. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in as I can't offer any stradagies or help yet.

For a while now I've been thinking that to get a 5 hit combo on the Sith alchemy ramp to earn an extra ball is nearly impossible, my best was 2 hits. Today I seem to have got the timing down though, I was able to hit 5 or 6 hit combos regularly. This helped me to win all 6 fights and I got the Prophecy fulfilled Trophy, I really love the fights in this table. 2nd on the PS3 leaderboard too, wish I had gone for more Holocrons now... Oh well, next time.

Always view 5 for me, all down to what you personally find most comfortable.

Just hit the #1 score on Kindle Fire leaderboards with 62.6M... still coulda been way better! I only completed one fight and had a total dud of a last ball.

I got my first ever extra ball on that round but I have no idea how I did it. It seemed like I just hit into the reactor shaft but it said PROTON TORPEDO, awarded me 3M and lit the extra ball. Anyone have any idea how that happens?

If you hit the cross ramp with the upper right flipper then the shaft is lit and if you hit it into there straight away you can get the extra ball. This doesn't work at the beginning of a game though as the shaft doesn't light, I guess you have to activate it somehow. Not sure if it's a certain amount of shaft hits or combos maybe?

Your alignment has to move from neutral. If you move towards the Light Side you get the Proton Torpedo shot, and towards the Dark Side gives you the Super Laser shot. They're basically the same thing, you just hit the cross ramp to activate it and then hit the Reactor Shaft quickly to win it. If your alignment is neutral, a cross ramp shot that's not part of a combo adds to your Balance bonus for end-of-ball.

Good info, thanks for that Ramikadyc

The same bug that I posted happened to me again, the Sith Holocron was down for a while with the extra time it gets from being on the dark side, since I had just beat the first Sith mission for the first time might I add, beating my score and a few friends, and my ball happened to be right at the Holocron when it went back up, sliding my ball into the trap to the right of it with the lone ball, and now my game is broken I even hit the alchemy ramp 5 times for the first time too! Really hope this gets fixed, surprised it hasn't happened to anyone else yet.

That's because I usually avoid the Holocrons, since I'm focusing on the fights.

Well I like to shoot Holocrons, guess it's a crime And, in case you misunderstood, this didn't happen during a fight. Just clearing that up, as I can read your comment both ways.

I know exactly what you're talking about. It's happened to me once too, when the Sith Holocron is lowered and my ball manages to get trapped as it raises again. But I was able to shake it out without having to tilt the table or restart.

I've actually run into a major bug on this table where my ball gets trapped under a bumper, thereby constantly racking up bumper points. I know exactly how it occurred, and it was a total freak-accident that I thought was surely impossible to recreate on purpose (without slow motion). But then I did it again somehow. Here's a picture of my bumper hit statistics, so you can have a better understanding of how nutty this bug is.

EDIT: Also, just want to note that I'm letting the game idle when I'm otherwise busy with other things while the bumper points rack up, and I plan to eventually upload a short video showing the "power" of the glitch in the hopes that it gets fixed, a video that doesn't show how to recreate it. The video will show the table being reset as well, so that people don't think I'm actually using this to reach the scoreboards; currently the point total in this game with just these bumper hits (minus 40k or so that I accrued before it happened) is 440k.

You must have nudged it out of there quick, because mine will disappear in a matter of a few seconds.

That bumper bug is crazy!
