True, but we're also getting TAF and most likely HS2, F-14, and maybe EBD. All very highly requested.

Yep big tables from February onwards

The early 200 run was a "prototype" run. We are licensed for the "production" game. So even though Williams did make that early run of the sinking building games, we recreate the production model.

Thanks I see.

So, does the table say *****in! or not? I don't think I've seen a confirmation yet?

Think Season 3 had a way better start than this season

POTO kicked us all in the nuts. Isn't it nice to play a new table with a great flow for a change? I couldn't be happier. It's not like it's the easiest table out there, it just doesn't end in 45 seconds like POTO.

Reagan Dow · Jan 2, 2015

I can't wait for TAF and HS2. Anything else (like Tomcat) would just make it the best season ever!!

I like the tuning on this table. Limited extraballs is great, I wish we had that on all tables.

Finally after three months of break playing TPA ( mostly because of work and playing the hell out of Indiana Jones on VP) I took some time with earthshaker.
Great job farsight!
Beatifully done, very fun and flowy table.
Nothing to complain.
Maybe I give poto a spin now...

Okay I actully finally played this.

Ramping out for great justice is doable, but not THAT easy.

the game is definitely easier then real life.

Extra balls are plentiful. Fault ramp is an easy shot. quick multiball is an easy million. captive ball is not a death shot. And the shaker motor doesn't slow balls going up the fault ramp like it should. it should be harder to make it with that shaker on.

A combination of shooting the center ramp a lot (to light quick multiball at the captive ball) and shooting the fault ramp a lot (to spot zones) will serve you well. before long you will be getting more than a million bonus every drained ball.

scoring would be insane if this game has million plus, or even unlimited million in quick multiball (quick multiball effectively auto lights jackpot for only one million, and is 2 ball, but is otherwise like regular multiball)

ALso try to abuse 1.5M jackpot+extra ball.

(btw, what IS the limit? there seems to be none that I can find. it's just hard to repeat most of them)

Gus · Jan 12, 2015

Maybe there is no limit, I'm bad at keeping track of ebs

Anyone know if scores are posted to leaderboards with rumble off? I think the rumble is pretty cool, but it does make it a little harder.

EldarOfSuburbia · Jan 12, 2015

EBs are unlimited, you can stack up to 4.

Farming for the 1.5M+EB Jackpot is a frustrating endeavor.

Max bonus is 594K from miles (6x99x1000) + 1.38M from fault trips (69x20000) = 1.976M. You can easily max miles and bonus x on your first ball, maxing fault trips takes a long time but is worth it as you can see it contributes a far more significant proportion of bonus in the long run.

Gus · Jan 12, 2015

Yeah at least ebs are limited in the sense that they are not easily repeatable. Even with the 1.5M+eb jackpot it feels quite hard to go on for very long.

I realize this is off topic but does ANYONE know how to unmask the phantom in POTO?

Sorry, I searched the internet for this issue. No results how to unmask the Phantom. I think, this was just a gimmick in the trailer of this table from Farsight (that´s the only source, where you can see the unmasked Phantom).

Maybe someone else will be more succesful in research, but if unmasking is an ability in the TPA-version, it would be described in the game rules.

Dedpop · Jan 21, 2015

It's random.
And it's not just a gimmick created by Farsight.
Phantom can be unmasked on real tables.
It ill be difficult to see it in TPA because it's during play on the backglass.

That's Julien. Great photo. I wasn't even aware it was shown in the trailer. I would imagine if they say it can be done that the view would scroll upwards when it happens? Yes? So it totally random? Not some crazy combination shot(s)?

Thank you also for looking. I've asked before but never received one single answer. I thought it was odd since it's mentioned in far sights little blurb about the table. I think all they needed to say was. POTO will kick you in the NUTS period!! 'Nuff said

I have no memories of a particular combination of shots to unveil the mask.
And I can say I played this table several times IRL.
I played about 30/40 games of POTO in TPA and I didn't see the view scrolling up to the backglass so far.
I think it's really random yes.

Thanks so much for the info. Let me know if it ever happens in TPA. Until then....repeat after me.."must get to 3 million in Genie"
