[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 279585, member: 134"] I don't miss the wizard goals at all. Part of that comes from the fact I often would clear the standard goals within 3 games without even looking to see what they were, part of it is from the frustration over certain goals that were either cruel or stupidly arbitrary. The biggest factor in making me not care was having all my progress wiped for the nth time due to either reinstalling, buying a new computer, or making the wonderful mistake of opening the game on my laptop and having it wipe progress from the home PC (because FarSight refused to figure out what every other game company has, saving progress data to the Steam cloud and not looking locally on your hard drive). If you are new to Zen, I suggest you build up your friends list on whatever platform you are on. The in game pop-ups for how close to beating a friend's score and the subsequent passing of it are great motivators. You also have the 'matchup' mode, which is a constant weekly tournament (so long as you enjoy grinding), and then there's my favorite, the custom tournaments. Playing those, setting up my own, it completely changed the level of enjoyment I was getting out of a Zen platform by a large factor. Lastly, there's all the leveling up you can do for each table. Play the 1 ball, 5 minute, and survival challenges and max them out. Play the table and max out all the bonus upgrades. It's no small task to earn every star available on a table, so let that be what you chase instead of wizard goals. Zen's intent with FX3 was to really establish the sense of a pinball community via interaction with other players. The only thing it's really missing in that respect is head to head, but those custom tournaments come real close to satisfying that. There are various threads on this forum with everyone's game ID for friending. Add people, whether you know them or not. They're from this forum, you'll at least recognize the name as you chase and pass their score. [/QUOTE]
