CONGRATS!
I consider getting to Valinor my greatest pinball accomplishment. I can't think of a more challenging objective (other than TSPP's super duper whatever). I was so nervous when I started DTR to get to Valinor that I started shaking.
Awesome score! My GC score after getting to Valinor was "only" 590 million. I didn't do well once I actually got to Valinor.. I think I was just too satisfied with actually having got there!
Again, great job!
Quoted from balloukevin:TABA does not have to be completed, but doing so does reward one of the requisite elf gifts, which, along with beating all the multiballs, is the requirement.
The two hardest elements to Valinor (IMO) are:
* beating ROTK multiball
* the fact that Valinor can only be started with a successful DTR round. You could have everything else done, but choke there, meaning that all 3 MB would have to be requalified and played out.
Fantastic effort on the firmware by Keefer, and WOZ looks to be similar.
That's not the hardest part though. It's the fact that you have to time it so that you DTR *after* doing all of that other stuff! If you complete all the other objectives, but you are a long way from even starting the DTR mode, it can be a real pisser since starting it gets progressively more difficult.
