Quoted from yonkiman:

I had the most unusual game a few days ago: I destroyed Mars, got the Super Jackpot, the 5-Way Combo, Total Annihilation, and of course Super Jets. But somehow I managed to do all that without ever getting Martian Multiball, and ended up draining my last ball before I did.
Can anyone top that for WTF-ness?

That's pretty wild. A couple questions:
1) Are all of the M-A-R-T-I-A-N targets working?
2) Do you have it set not to allow starting the first Martian Attack from the back of the scoop? (Note: Not 100% that this is an adjustable setting anyhow.)

Quoted from TaylorVA:

My outlanes are wide open and the game is set to extra hard, you can win one EB. My current GC is 32 billion and that was epic.

Same here, but no EBs at all. My GC is 30.8 billion.

Broken.

I think you're incorrect about the best post-RTU strategy. RTU again! Ideally, by continuing to crush it on the current ball so you get lots and lots of victory laps.

Quoted from DefaultGen:

There's a new AFM on location on me I have a question about. The saucer drop target stays down for almost all saucer hits, meaning every time you hit the saucer the ball feeds to left flipper. This not only makes the game very easy, but also incredibly boring. I'm not very familiar with AFM, but basically once you conquer Mars the best strategy seems to be shooting the saucer for 100m each time. This feels like a very low risk shot that I can grind out a whole bunch before inevitably screwing it up after a hundred goes rather than trying to rule the universe.
Could something be broken or is the game intentionally configured like this via some difficulty setting? The drop target resets sometimes (maybe during a mode or for the first hit?) but never in the middle of an attack wave and never after conquering Mars.

Quoted from LOTR_breath:

Has anybody on here ever made it to RTU with no extra balls, open outlanes, and tight tilt? I have never been able to do it. With extra balls turned on I found it too easy and my best score was around 42B. But with EB's off I've never made it to RTU and my best score is around 18B.

I set mine up with open outlanes, no EBs, medium tilt, and harder software settings (no extra hits on 3-bank for near misses, 6 shots to start the first MB). It took me quite a lot of attempts, but I was able to RTU. I'm sure a tighter tilt would have made it even harder or maybe impossible for me.
