ooo 5 balls, that's ban vote territory!
Quoted from CaptainNeo:why would you do that? the game is hard enough out of the box. You must have seen valinor every week then, and felt the need to step up your game.
The fact that you seen valinor at all, says you either play it a ton or much better player than I.
I don't believe Stern's tell you what is factory for each setting like b/w's do. Again, when I bought my HUO from the original guy, I thought he had many of the settings, such as TTT, on way to simple settings, as they just seemed way to simple to load up fast. I upped things after playing for a bit to what I felt was "default", without resetting, I don't know what I did it that way.
I think most of my settings are pretty factory, I really only toyed with the MB's, and of those, I am guessing only TTT and FOTR. I have at times hit TTT many times, and FOTR a couple times in a game, but regardless of how easy they were, ROTK would still be the thorn preventing me from Valinor.
I should have been to Valinor another three time, once my wife screwed me up at the worst moment, another time I called my kids down to witness, and they started fighting with each other over each telling the other to be quite, which made me drain prior to hitting the ring (man, the look on their face, and likely mine....), and another when the plastic for the lower pop bumper broke, sat in the cake saucer, I kid you not, while I have the DTR shot flashing to go to it, and was blocking balls from entering. I took off the glass, removed the piece, thinking the ball would sit in the saucer until I closed the door, ball rolled into saucer and out, I frantically closed the door quick trying to get a swipe with the flipper... drain...awesome...
If I hadn't of already done it once, I may have sold the machine out of frustration.
