Official Plants vs Zombies Thread

[ShoryukenToTheChin]

What kind of help? I have most of the table figured out except for the bonus multiplier, some of crazy dave's items, and how to increase jackpot values for multiballs. I can talk about collecting sun, choosing seeds, how to activate and use the different seed types, missions, multiballs, extra balls, kicbacks, ball saves, etc.

Pretty much anything that you can contribute, Im doing my own recon' on the Table but it always helps to get other peoples experiences etc. If you have time just send me a PM about anything you think needs to be added to the Guide.

I got to the Wizard Mode yesterday but failed it, that far Left Shot is very annoying esspecially when you have Zombies approaching.

I got to wizard mode yesterday and failed to. I didn't switch the ball from fire to ice in time and a frickin' zombie got by me.

currently i still have #1 overall score it was my first crack at pvz/zp2 the multiball is a really go nuts go nuts go coconuts but i did seem to get a lot of extra balls i was thinking wtf i think i got about 7 extra balls at first i thought the game was broken :P

Hehe...don't get comfortable homie! I only played the table twice to get familiar with it. Oh and once Shogun, DiscoKing, Snakeman and a few others get on the table. It's a wrap! All of our little scores will be obsolete! Hahahaha Fun competition!

The game was too easy.

This game was way too easy, I also scored over 400 million and went to first on the High Score list without knowing what I was doing, I probably won't play this table again for awhile and I was just hoping that the game was over after each ball drained.

This problem could easily be solved on all Zen tables by just making an Easy, Normal and Hard skill level selection and have 3 different High Score lists. All Zen would need to do is to make the flippers a little further apart and make the outlane easier for the ball to drain for each skill level, this could all easily be done in their editor. I don't really want to play a pinball game for over an hour, it just seems silly to an old man like me.

Zen2 is still the best video Pinball out there, the tables are beautiful and I love the Marvel tables. I am a huge fan of Zen's quality work, these guys go the extra mile and they have taken video pinball to the next level and have done it with class.

Well, I don't know what to say about this table. Beat Dr.Zombo or whatever his name is second try (failed on him once, loaded the mode back up and beat him...if you lose to him you don't have to beat any main missions again ) and that's that, really XD scored 555 million I think. It was cool, but in my opinion it's too easy to start up MAIL multiball. I've only started up Disco multiball once, don't even know how I did it (I think you add backup dancers on some ramp/lane or something).

I haven't seen Hypno in a while. He may have taken a break or something. I know he wanted to get on the ZP2 though.

I think there is a bug when trying to activate the specials (Jalapeno's and cherry bombs) on this table. The specials located in the lower left corner of the table has the following statement above it: "When the light flashes, launch activates the first plant." The light beneath the first plant typically flashes when zombies are on the table. However, when you hit the launch buttton (x) while the light is flasshing, it frequently does NOT activate the Jalapeno or cherry bomb. Is this a bug or am I just doing it wrong?

In regards to advancing the bonus multiplier, it might be bumper hits or as a random jack-in-the-box reward.

I have only played the table once so far and I almost defeated the wizard mode on my first attempt. I'll go back to it over the weekend.

Right now, I'm just focusing on playing all of the tables (6 more to go) at least once and try to at least grab one of the two trophies for each table.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't really care about the score right now. I just want to do an initial run through them and grab a few trophies on the way. Surprisingly, my first run (only 1 time) on Iron Man, Thor, AND Earth Defense I almost made it to wizard mode. Well not Iron Man, but I grabbed the Tony Stark trophy, but I definitely almost had Thor. 1 shot away from defeating him and I drained the ball getting too anxious. LOL I also got 7 medals on Earth Defense my first run as well. Don't know why I don't have a trophy yet for it. Hahaha I knew I would be spending more time on PS3 this time around with ZP2 here. I was on PBFX2 for a bit, but I'm back!

I pretty much overkilled a few of the tables. On Iron Man, I was able to get both trophies, beat Ultimo and top my all time high score in my first game.

The same thing happened in Blade, Mars, and World War Hulk (not the high score part).

On Earth Defense, I got 9 of the 10 medal in my first game. It's really easy now, since failed ramp shots no longer do an instant SDTM.

Man I wish I could do all of that. I haven't even touched Blade yet and I wanna finish WWH and my most challenging one, Fear Itself! Beating all of the Worthy and Skadi is difficult for me. I didn't beat Skadi on the 360 version, but I did manage to beat the Worthy. It was damn HARD for me. LOL I'm going to finish what I couldn't in MP and ZP. I have to. I see you're doing really well. You got most of the trophies already. I'm doing them on both the PS3 and Vita simultaneously. It's a lot of work, but fun at the same time. The scores that I get on the Vita counts on the PS3 I see, but not the trophies. Hehe I'll say you'll be done by the end of the weekend, Shogun. If not before it.

[RabidShark]

i like the new feel "But" there should be a hard mode with separate scoreboard it feels comfortable as is for me but i can definitely see some wanting it to be harder now something funny at an attempt to stay on topic

I wouldn't go that far. There are a few trophies that are going to be rather time consuming. Both Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (collect 30 crystal skulls) and Epic Quest (acquire the Epic Armor) have cumulative trophies, where you need to play 30 or so games before you meet the objective.

Not to mention, some tables have very time consuming silver trophies. It's going to take a while for me to complete V12 (upgrade one part to the max), Shaman (start up the wizard mode), El Dorado (start up the wizard mode) and Thor (complete the wizard mode).

P.S. Play the Blade table. The ramp and orbit shots are much easier to hit and the Night Mode got a major graphical face life (light reflections).

[caper_26]

V12 - yeah, I think it is like 100 tire ramp shots in total or something crazy, but it doesnt take THAT long. Upgrading ALL parts, now THAT was time consuming...
