Pinball Arcade: "Tiered Tournament!" Talkback

[9u1d0]

Awesome score Dylan_h. Congratulations again. Big difference in points between the #1 and #2.

 

[DeeEff]

Good job, Dylan! I was one game-ending bug away from taking top Whirlwind score which would have put me at #2 overall, but your scores were pretty up there.

 

[Nightwing]

Congrats to the top legit people in this tourney! As for myself,I just didn't have as much time to play as I wanted to...

But I'm not complaining - I got personal bests on Dr.Dude,T2,Flight 2000,Centaur,Whirlwind,and an awesome game of Pin* Bot (if I do say so myself)

My rank?

89 out of 890 players. That makes me,according to the standings - the last player to move up into the silver section.
I'm happy with that!

 

[Dylan_h]

Thanks everyone!

The scores are officially up!

Congratulations to dylan_h, Crusty Booger, and Tripple I. I have landed in 32nd place due to a valiant effort on Flight 2000, and hope to kick some pinbutt next time around!

Did you beat my score (7.9M) on Flight 2000? I had 1st for about 4-5 days, and was worried I might drop out of the gold tier if that was beat. I dropped several places near the end, but managed to stay in the top 10%.

Finished at 25. Surprised I ended up that high. Most of my scores were not close to the top. Do a lot of people not play every pin?

 

[FurVid]

I expect many played them all, but there was more parity between participants than in the past. In previous tourneys I could get 80 pts on any table with little effort, and would then work to squeeze a few more points. For this one, I had to work to break 50 on some tables. Much more fun - set a few new personal bests and learned some new strategies.

I usually will play two pin per day seriously, then go back and play a few here and there and the last couple tourneys have not played the last day or two seriously. Some scores are awesome, and honestly, I hate breaking PR's in tourneys lol. Nice job by the top 5 for sure.

 

[DeeEff]

Nice job by the top 5 for sure.

Don't sell yourself short - nice job by the top 6, eh? ;^)

I squeaked by you with a PB on White Water that I almost wish I saved for the non-tourney LB.

 

[Eegah]

Didnt make the cut, ah well. I like Cirqus but have trouble keeping comtrol after ringmaster shots, and apart from Centaur my other scores were okay but nothing spectacular.

 

[FurVid]

I almost never seem to get a working high wire multiball in CV - always seems to lose track of ball and does the search and spits them out early. Seems only way I can avoid this is to immediately call attendant upon locking a ball, then hope I don't instead get stuck in plunger cam with balls in play. Very frustrating table, rarely ever play it.

 

[Dylan_h]

I find Cirqus Voltaire way less buggy if you turn the event and multiball cameras off.

Yeah, only bugs I run into are the cannon shooting out of the backglass and the camera not going to the plunger on the first highwire (so no skill shot). I just can't get a consistent return off the ringmaster.

I Usually bounce pass when it's coming back from the ringmaster. It's almost always more controllable.

y Wh2o score was a PB as well. (I went back to the regular pin and still falling a bit short of that PR). I will say this , this is my third tourney and the first one I played in I set 7 PRs on the 8 tables. Made me much better player. So for anyone reading this that thinks the tournaments are a waste, it really does make you better. You guys in the top 5 still had me by a few points, so no bragging rights for me.

Only tables I did really work on (played more than a handfull of games on) were Dr Dude, Flight 2K & my personal tournament nemesis; Pin●Bot.

Had to do alot of playing on the phone too, so I'm kinda surprised I did finish in the top 10%.

 

[netizen]

sweet! I played an actual 2 games. 1 of T2 and 1 of Pin*Bot

I Managed to come in in the top 50%, LOL

Yet when I do press the My Score button I am shown a score that is roughly double my position down the list of players.

I came in 417, and I am shown player 832. How strange is that?

 

[Korven]

Silver had 415 players, quess they are counted as well? Which means you finished last?

Came in 41st. Last spot for promotion. Posted a half decent score on WW just before mr phone went dead on the last night of the tourney. Congrats Dylan and Crusty. Nice playing.

 

[fgrise]

Finished 5th in the bronze tournament, and without this bug in WW would have possibly finished a bit higher.
Anyway, pretty fun and as some people say, it also made me play tables I don't play that often and made me appreciate some of them more. Looking forward to the next one!
