I have a VERY hard time getting ROTK to start and I think i have it set on 'easy'. The post seems to work pretty well. I have a very hard time making the skill shot which goes up to the PotD as my spring is really tight and it seems like I'm either too week or a little too strong. (At least the spring is my excuse...on my first LOTR it seemed like ROTK was super easy to start)

Any suggestions?

Quoted from marble:

Well done! I like your spirit of wanting to do it again on harder settings too.
I'm not a fan of replay extra balls myself. If you want to make Valinor easier to reach, I would set specials to award extra balls instead. This makes special gift worth collecting in home game too and now the additional extra ball is really a playfield award and not just related to some (possibly auto-adjusting) score limit.

You might already know these, but here are some helpful tips for collecting souls to start ROTK:
- right inlane activates next shot to left orbit to be diverted to PotD (unless gift or fellowship mb is lit)
- green 1-4 lamps above PotD indicate whether the lanes are lit for 100 (off), 250 (solid) or 500 (blinking) souls
- ball dropping to Shire from PotD gives additional souls (starting from 250, +50 for additional collects, maxes at 750)
- War of the Ents mode helps too

I knew it was better to not divert but I didn't realize it could be so lucrative. I do have the diverter on there but I think the Arwen plastic protectors might already be installed. If so, maybe I should just remove it.

Is the Arwen protector just basically an extra level of plastic above and below the Arwen plastic? I'll need to check out my pin tonight and see if it is there. If so, should I just remove the diverter?
