Kickstarter tables tourney

[nstalkie]

Couldn't help myself and played this evening anyway

T2: 8th place with 548,766,160
TZ: 4th place with 2,290,105,190
ST: 2nd place with 14,728,299,390

Overall: 2nd place

Edit:
As for strategies, I just played mostly like I would play a normal game.
For TZ: in order to speed up my game a little bit, I now do a dead pass from the slot machine instead of catching the ball on the right flipper. I went for door panels mostly. I got LitZ twice.

For ST: I only had 1 Final Frontier with 5 items, but it was a good one. I didn't have enough time to go for another one, so concentrated on multiball. Last timed tournament where this table was also in the lineup, I think I always tried for 2 Final Frontiers. I dunno what score I got in the previous tournament though.

For T2: nothing special.

Wow, that's some high scores in the Bronze level. I think they are better than the Gold one (Can't check as I'm not home yet).

You're right. All the 1st scores in Bronze Tier are higher than the Gold ones!

 

[SydyneBall]

The ST:TNG and TZ score are high. T2 seems reachable. The T2 exclusive tournament had a final score over 1 Billion on PS3.

Comparison to mobile Gold top scores: (I know it's different, mobile is different.)

TZ: 2,462,089,420 nzowl
ST:TNG: 20,050,933,030 Peter Williams
T2: 1,195,971,670 geohoo

I'm not in the top 10 for mobile.... yet!

Flip Well!!

Wasn't celfaradelege (sp?) one of those booted from Gold to Bronze due to that glitch?

 

[fromduc]

Do you know if the time announced for the end of the tourney is the last minute for recording a score or the last minute for starting a game?

And btw, i hate TZ in timed tourney, really ^^

I would say "last minute for recording a score".

 

[fromduc]

I would say "last minute for recording a score".

What i thought too... anyway i finally had a decent game on TZ, if no late runner, i should take it ^^

The notes for the tourney have an inconsistency. One note says it ends today, the other date says the 12th.

Well the tourney is over for real. Hope we'll have good rewards... A gold edition would be perfect

 

[Tann]

Wow, Fromduc, you did a blitz at the end, isn't it?

Impressive scores on ST:TNG!

A very tough tournament this time (I ended 18th and I'm soooooo far from these outstanding scores! -my best rank is only 10th on T2)... certainly because there are rewards for the ten 1st places.

Yep, was ill last 2 days so i had time (convenient but real ). On STTNG i did only Borg MB and i had an impressive one, did it on my 2nd or 3rd try. On T2 also i did this billion on 3rd try, but on TZ, God... I dont see a clear strategy on it, u got to do 2 LiZ very solids, but after that i didnt find where good points were. I finally did it on a solid (480m) and a monster (590M) LiZ, coupled with a good MB. Oh, on one of my try i went to LiZ in 4m40s... to finish under the 2B ^^ I think it's possible to make 3 LiZ if u're consistent on Piano and the other scoop and concentrate only on that, but i never made it.

 

[FelisLachesis]

I got 2.24B in TZ, though I hit LitZ just once. Though having Clock Millions, Clock 10 millions, Clock Chaos and multiball all happen at the same time helps.

 

[speed_stock]

Gold Tier: about 70 players
Silver Tier: about 250 players
Bronze Tier: I don't know.

July's Bronze Tier had 536 players ;-j

Wrong thread for me, but same difference. In the IOS tourney I lasted long enough with the same ball to get a 350m bonus. 'Collect bonus' camera award didn't come up before I drained, so I'm kicking myself for that. It was only with one LITZ. IMO, that's all ya need is 1. It's damn near impossible to last the whole 20min without draining. Not in that same game, but I've been able to build up my LITZ to 745mil. So, the trick to TZ (to me) is to last the whole time without draining once.

Other tips....
- ignore door multiball unless spiral or greed targets are going. But still collect the first jackpot so it doesn't try to give you the second chance.
-when getting a powerball mania jackpot, jam another ball into the camera soon after. This is a lot more doable than it sounds. (I've even had this work by shooting the town square)
-like I've said before, that 'collect bonus' is key. Just pray to Zeus that it shows up after a great LITZ.
-which brings me to my next point. If you drain and then start LITZ, Imediately after. It's not even worth it. This is where stacking up those gumball locks comes in handy. That way, if you drain right before LITZ, now you can start locking them away and start LITZ, hopefully after a good powerball mania. This will at least increase your LITZ from 400mil to 500mil

That 745mil LITZ I had was a fluke (at least within the 20min). I'm interested to hear what you all have gotten as bonuses and/or LITZ. But then again I doubt I'd be able to reproduce those scores on PS3. For some reason I'm better at IOS. High score on the IOS tourney for TZ is basically 3bil. Wowzers

"Oh I herd it threw the bovine
and I'm just about to loooose my mind...."

Gazooks! Nay! Surely not...? Sir_Moo (amongst others possibly, I dunno), put down to bronze at the last minute in the recently completed Kickstarter tables tourney?! How udderly awful. Will we have to wait until hell is friesian over before FS repair the tear in the tournament tier continuum. Q only knows?

It may well be that the signals I've been picking up on my dental fillings are incorrect , 'cos I see Sir_Moo did finish 3rd overall in the gold tier. George Dawes, what's the scores? Hang on now....wait.... I'm looking at the Overall Tournament page, where Fromduc is first place. Congratulations! You win a brand new pair of Overalls with gold (or possibly copper) rivets. Niiiice...

Anywho, like the little voices in the old radiator used to tell me, "If the glitch fits, wear it". Chin chin ;-j

Just had a message from Farsight on my PSN. Apparently the prize for placing in the top 10 in the bronze tournament is the "Eyeball" custom ball.

I'm just overwhelmed. I'd like to thank my Mum, my Dad, all my sponsors and most of all I'd like to thank our lord, Jesus Christ. I couldn't have done this without you.

 

[fromduc]

So i finished 1st in gold, and i got the same price.

I didnt expect a car or a week in Tahiti, but for winning this tourney having a stupid eyeball... i was 100% sure to have a Gold edition of the table, or something of this kind, knowing this kind of feature would cost almost (totally?) nothing to the company. I would have played the tourney even without a price, it's not the question, i play almost all of them, but here it's just a total lack of respect, dont say u give price for top 10 if it's for nothing, and the same garbage for #10 in bronze and #1 in gold . I never talked bad about FS before that, even when we were waited 3 month for a table on PS3, but there guys it's a shame. No need to say that it's the last time i pledge more than the minimum for having the table in any Kickstarter, or that i encourage anybody to pledge in, i'll continue to play it coz i like the game and i wont punish myself, but nothing more. HUGE disapointment here.
