3,000,000 Wizard Goal Too Challenging?

[inspector42]

Also, on ios you won't get the wizard goal achievement (grrrrr) so I would hold off.

Holy crap. That sucks you learned that the hard way.

 

[inspector42]

Yep. pinballchris confirmed. That one and the STTNG high score achievement will not trigger.

I was playing this and was on ball 4. I lit both of the extra balls (the rollover one and the drop target one), hit the extra ball in the upper playfield and all of the sudden I was on ball 1. That probably isn't supposed to happen, but it sure as hell helps with the wizard goal. I was past 150K at that point, but I somehow managed to choke on 4 balls in a row

Giggity.

Inspector stated there was a weird extra ball thing going on. Not sure what the rules state, but even I had a couple times in my high game of extra-extra balls. But it doesn't seem to be consistent as to how to get it. Been awhile since I played it that I forget even what sequences triggered it.

 

[inspector42]

Yeah. There was definitely some odd stacking of extra balls if you hit multiple in the same game. Rules said only one per ball, but there were a couple times I definitely got more than that. Didn't seem to be consistent as to when that would occur.

 

[Tuomas Hämäläinen]

This is definitely doable, I managed 1,9 million last evening (currently holding #10 on the leaderboards) and I'm not gonna quit until I'm past that 3-million mark

For me, challenging goals play a big part in holding my interest in certain tables.

 

[gooche77]

It seems to me that attention span is paramount on this table. My 1st or 2nd ball are usually quite productive. I can get 2 or 3 extra balls and score close to 1 million. After that, my game falls apart.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Out of 10,219 people only 2! have got 3million legitimately.

I know. That is crazy. Although it is possible that someone else has done it while they weren't connected to the internet to post on the leaderboard. I really think that the ps3 version is much easier than mobile, so maybe we will see some more 3 billions point scores soon.

 

[inspector42]

Agreed Gorgar. More precise nudging will make a world of difference on this one.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Mobiles are easier FS dumbs them down because of the lack of proper nudging on PS3 you TILT very easily.

 

[Kolchak357]

Is this goal too challenging? Yes, of course it is. We all know it.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

I just noticed in the rules a 3ball game scores higher but there is no option for a 3ball game.

 

[Robert Hunt]

The option is found by hitting the "Game Setup" button you use to set up multi-player games. (But to me Genie is a five ball game!)

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

For PS3? I looked. It has to be a multiplayer game?

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Oh there it is! I never play 2player. Youd think that would be in options or settings.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Scoed a little higher on average but you need an extra ball EVERY BALL unfortunately the ABCD targets funnel to the split by the left drain and drains almost every time.

 

[Tuomas Hämäläinen]

Got it! The game must've lasted more than half an hour because the screensaver kicked in near the end (Mac OS X seems to think it's idle when I'm using PS3 controller).
