Pinball FX

You mean the guys from Pinball Family, right? Yeah, some of them get in the global top 10 on a regular basis, which is pretty crazy.
Nothing wrong with that, though. It’s good that people even have a choice to play in tournaments with their respective skill level.

Here is also the announcement for the coupons and indeed, that’s their solution for the Steam store problem (although they formulate it so, that it’s because you could buy tables individually before and now only in packs). Seems to me like they won’t fix it any other way.

Fair enough. I don’t actually mind cheap tables. Though actually listing the packs I fully own would have been nice as well.

According to that there announcement, there should also be a coupon for the Sci-Fi pack, but those don’t seem to have materialized. Too bad - I like those tables, and I’d love for more people to be able to play them.

Could I trouble someone for the Cinematic voucher? It’ll go to a good home … I lie, I’ll totally use it myself.

I sent you a trade offer.

Jurple 2018-01-26 15:15:42 UTC #605

Accepted and cashed. Ta!

Imaginary_Llamas 2018-01-26 16:14:38 UTC #606

I have a Medieval Pack coupon if anyone’s interested. I don’t own any of the Marvel or Star Wars tables - are any of them considered to be paticularly good?

Stirbelwurm 2018-01-26 23:47:46 UTC #607

I now also have a Sci Fi coupon, seems like it was just a little late

Jurple 2018-01-27 09:11:45 UTC #608

Same here. Any takers?

Ffrog 2018-01-27 21:44:59 UTC #609

I’d like a coupon for the Sci-Fi pack if there is still one going spare…

Thermal_Ions 2018-01-28 08:53:12 UTC #611

Add me on Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/id/thermalions/), and I’ll shoot mine over.

Ffrog 2018-01-28 21:36:20 UTC #612

Thanks, although I think @electricbongo might have me covered once the Steam authenticator thingy lets it through.

Again with some delay I present to you or next challenge winner: AngoraFish! Congratulations!
I really tried alot on this table, but couldn’t manage to improve my score. I could only finish a single mission which got me the points I had. Any tips for this table?

I thought about selecting one of the coupon tables next, but I thought maybe we should play on one from another category. Which is why I ended up with the following one:

RPS PFX3 Challenge 14
Table: Paranormal
Password: RPSPinball
Rules: 1 ball, no upgrades
Created by: Bexo Dust
Duration: 7 days (finishes the 10th of february)

Good luck!

Jurple 2018-02-03 17:45:17 UTC #614

Excellent. A very generous table. I’ve set a (low) bar to clear, but I see there’s already others playing as well …

Ffrog 2018-02-06 22:35:18 UTC #615

I think the previous offer I had of a SciFi pack voucher has fallen through - does anyone else have one to spare they could send in my direction?

electricbongo 2018-02-06 22:51:00 UTC #616

@Ffrog, I think I sorted out the problem and the Sci-Fi pack should send to you now. Sorry for the delay. I’ve been busy and haven’t opened steam in a while.

I still have a Medieval Pack and a Legends pack, if anyone wants one.

Ffrog 2018-02-06 23:13:56 UTC #617

Thanks @electricbongo, I’ve got it now, cheers!

And thank you to everyone else for the other trade offers I got as well, respectfully declined

Stirbelwurm 2018-02-11 14:10:40 UTC #618

I was ready to accept the win for this weeks challenge … but it looks like someone was able to snatch the win away right on the finishing line! Congratulations to Ffrog! Well played

We also have a new player in our group, welcome Kelpie! I hope you’ll have some fun with our challenges!

The table pool rotation now brings us again to the Marvel tables and this time it’s the following:

RPS PFX3 Challenge 15
Table: Captain America
Password: RPSPinball
Rules: normal, no upgrades
Created by: Bexo Dust
Duration: 7 days (finishes the 18th of february)

Good luck!

If I’d had a few more tries I would have tried the method I used for the survival challenge, which is basically just keep putting the ball in the bumper section. I think the score multiplier increase has something to do with the bumpers, so it can end up giving crazy scores.

Blackice 2018-02-11 18:43:46 UTC #620

Congrats Ffrog, didn’t think anyone would beat Bexo Dust. I just couldn’t beat my meagre score (one of the first I set) whatever I tried.

Hmmm I don’t think I’ve ever played Captain America before…certainly don’t remember it anyway! I’ve set the early pace anyway.

And welcome Kelpie!

Kelpie 2018-02-11 19:02:20 UTC #621

Thanks for the welcome. Just started playing again recently after the steam table pack vouchers came out.

Picked up a few tables I was missing, and it got me to try the game again. I’ve being reading up a fair bit about FX3, and found the group in an RPS comment thread. Enjoyed that first challenge, although I’m still pretty raw at the game & just try and keep the damn ball alive.

Ffrog 2018-02-11 21:23:43 UTC #622

I really enjoyed that Paranormal table (and not just because I won this week!). I got very lucky with a multi-ball, managed to keep both balls in play for a very long time, that’s where most of the points came from.
