Are you generally not supposed to be able to hit the tower shot unless you have some speed coming around? I'm a bit annoyed that I can't hit the tower shot with the ball coming slowly out of the pops, but I don't know if it's a feature or a bug. I can occasionally get it up there but it's like a 5-10% shot. Most often even a clean nice shot just doesn't have the momentum to make it up there, and my flipper settings for that flipper are on default (Max).

That's a crazy score. I actually had a freak game with like 29 rescues, so I was close to you on that, but I think my max fossil count is 3 or so.

Standard pitch right in the middle of the leveler, and the flipper doesn't feel weak (Actually with it being set on max, it feels a bit too strong to me as it really whips around the loop shot when hit that I'd like to slow it down a bit)

Looked at it this morning and yeah, that screw is just in a terrible place. I'm imagining this makes the ball pop up and is what's killing the momentum. Will take a look into how to fix it. Thanks!

What is the timer on combos? I've noticed that I'm getting quite a few combos where it seems like I'm able to get them a good 10 to 15 seconds after hitting the previous shot.

What's the timing on DNA Combos? I've noticed I've had quite a few combos register where it seems like I had close to 10 seconds between the shots required.

Drunk posting! Thanks!

1200 games in and finally got around to changing the left screw on the side ramp with a flat head screw and man it's just a whole new game. Can't believe I suffered through that for so long.

Had a new unique thing just happen the past 50 games or so, the uppost in front of the control room had been sinking so the ball would get trapped in the hole, and ever since I screwed it back up, now after a trapped control room shot, the ball will instead immediately bounce against the side on the left on its way down so it doesn't slide down the curved left side, so that the ball will 75% of the time end up going down the left outlane. For the previous 1,150 games, the ball would always just roll down along the left side and slowly be able to drop and be controlled by the left flipper.

Needless to say, having the ball drain 75% after a control room shot is no fun, anyone else have this happen or know a way to tweak to fix?

It looks like it's because the ball has become magnetized, so the ball is drawn towards the metal up post on the way down , moving it away from the left and leaving it to drop straight down into the left outlanes opposed to rolling along the side on the left. So I presume I need to de-magnetize my pinballs, but do they need to stay magnetized for the T-Rex magnets to work?

Holy hell is the post in front of the 3rd flipper a bitch to tighten once it comes loose.

Is there any way while doing a status check and getting onto the screen you want to look at , whether its fossils or what I wanna stay on is DNA combos to not have it cycle after like 5 seconds to the next screen? I usually want to take like 30 seconds to look at the needed DNA combos, but end up having to cycle through it like 5 times as it only stays on the screen for like 5 seconds.

How do you get a 6 Combo? As I feel like I've done it a few times but don't get credit for it, is there any rules like you can't get the left ramp 2 times or something?

I imagine the premium's mechs will cause issues in the long run. My raptor gate doesn't come down exactly flush, but luckily I haven't had any TRex Issues.

Just had like a 4 smart missle streak in a game to get me 46 rescues and a 720k visitor center bonus. 2.6 bil total. (Previous GC was 1.6 bil) Don't think I'll be topping that anytime soon.

I'm about 2,500 games in. The C, H and S shots should be three you can hit fairly consistently early on. Eventually I was able to get dialed in A shot from a cradle position as well. Only very recently have I gotten fairly dailed in on the O shot. Side ramp is still tough.

As far as scoring goes, practice your smart missle. It's ability to clear paddocks & giving extra balls really helps blow up the scores. My peak score I just got the other day, and it was from like 4 straight smart missle hits, 3 of which cleared a paddock for me.

More recently I started focusing/paying attention to DNA and trying to get the extra ball from that. If you're really hitting your H and S shot, getting 6 DNA shouldn't be that tough. So once you start getting 6-7 ball games, you'll eventually have a blow up game, as extra ball from 6 rescues, smart missle, t-rex, and DNA are all doable. Taking the long way through the paddocks to clear 7 and I ended up with a 720 million visitor center bonus. Clearing the T-Rex paddock also gives you an extra 8 seconds on all your modes, helping you beat them easier.

Right Ramp to me is very hard on the fly, but can be timed with a cradle fairly consistently. After about 2,000 plays I even got a little used to the O shot where now I feel fairly comfortable when I have to hit it (at the beginning if it was a rescue shot I just ignored it).

If I'm in a tournament the strategy is just clear first paddock and go for system boot for points. If at home aiming for highest score/completion I'm aiming the truck for the maximum amount of paddocks. I find in most games of the three objectives (paddocks, control room, trex) that getting through the 4 trex modes is the least common. So therefore when the ball is on the upper flipper, i've moved towards a simple aim to advance t-rex shots when the ball is there. Once you're good enough, getting through the paddocks isn't all that super tough.

Getting the paddock that adds 8 seconds to timers helps you get the fossils, and really the main key to start blowing up the score is being able to hit the smart missle. All my top scores are games where I was timed well with smacking that 3-5x. You can get extra balls, fossils, clear paddocks & get extra rescues with the smart missle. If you manage to get the extra ball with the smart missle it becomes a 6 ball game assuming you capture the T-Rex. 7 ball game if you get 30 rescues, and 8 ball game with some fossils.

The outlanes are brutal based on the positioning of the posts, so the game is all about getting that 6-8 ball game.

About 3,000 plays in, and finally got to the 4th round of Raptor Multi-ball. Had double scoring rolling and put up like a 550 mil Raptor Multi-Ball. I'm not sure if my previous high broke 100 mil.

My T-Rex head is starting to act up (it gets stuck at times and kinda shakes back and forth a little instead of moving around freely), any pointers on how to fix/adjust?

Interesting, I didn't know that. Mine is aligned so the ball will feed to the left flipper. Great for control, but it does make the side shot much harder to hit than it is on location games I've played. I've been hesitant to adjust it too much for the thoughts of losing control.

Is there a way in the settings of a Prem to disable to T-Rex? I played around with some of the adjustments thinking it would do the trick and it would not.
