Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Been playing a lot of BKSoR LE and have one complaint about the current code which ruins the enjoyment of the game -> mode he!! I have played 200+ games and haven’t completed a major mode yet - wtf? I don’t get why the current rules mandate you complete 3 levels of a mode before the mode is finished and the wheel insert lights. It is fine that you stay in the mode between balls. It is too hard to complete 3 levels ... Toooooo Haaarrd! Stern please change.... One way the levels could work that would be a win/win with the world is
1) continue carrying over incomplete modes between balls. That is the easy part.
2) award the wheel insert after completing level 1 of three major modes. Game then exits mode level 1 and that mode must be restarted to try level 2 and a chance to win a knight letter. Game then exits mode level 2 and that mode must be restarted to try level 3 and a super bonus and extra ball. This would remove the log jam of not being able to complete modes and reduce major frustration.
This adds more strategery to the game -> select level 1’s of all modes in bid to complete the circle. Or repeated select one major mode in bid to complete level 3 to earn an extra ball and big bonus points. TIM SEXTON please consider. Otherwise the game is a gem because of the prem/le layout and game play. It is currently undiscovered because of the code, and with the right refinements this game will sing. It is pretty close and this might push things over the top where we want them. Game is currently around 35ish based on a few rankings, needing a few hundred more people to weigh in before went know where it will settle on Pinside 100. If game was perfected, game might sit in top 20. It would definitely garner my tippy vote for game of the year. If game is not significantly changed from last update, game might head towards the 50 spot.
Free advice ?? Just Do it -> Stern.
Play Better!
You must have something set to difficult or something. I have been able to finish 4 modes in a single game. Haven't finished the 5th one yet though.
Mud bog is hitting 5 hydras twice in a row
Molten is 2 rounds of the 7 shots
Burning Sands IS three sets of three shots
Deep freeze is killing 5 or 6 Lych lords by hitting them twice, the yellow inserts are extra points
Hell Hand is 4 sets of the alternating side shots.
I don't see any of these as completing three levels, they just have their own sequence.
Your progress is kept if you drain or if you run out of time and have to restart, so this makes it very achievable.
If you can't finish one of these in three balls, you need a new hobby!
