So this button "restore HOF points" will recalculate your HOF points, based on the scores that got posted to the TPA leaderboards? Why is that necessary and therefore an interesting option? Isn't there an automatic connection between updating scores and updating HOF points? I never encountered a situation in which I got a better score posted to the leaderboards, without also the point increase for my HOF points. Sometimes there is a time difference in which the score for a table posts earlier than the HOF points, or in this case one of them is down. But this always auto-corrected when the boards got up again. Or does it other things too? How is it different from a remote restore?
I was curious about that button too, I was also afraid to push it
He is also very good at pinball 
I'm sure Rschwantner and the team will fix it again though, they're on a roll That button makes playing for HOF points a lot more fun.Sorry to hear you missed the train with the restore HOF button Slam. You have to pay attention to threads like the one you linked
[MENTION=4640]RSchwantner[/MENTION] I'd be interested in hearing how Farsight decides what the score limit for 1k HOF is going to be when releasing a new table. On many tables the limit feels just right, but there are a few where it's way too easy or borderline impossible. I don't really mind that, but it would be cool to hear how the limit is set.
So, how are the default high scores set then?
I think they, including HOF, are usually very well balanced. Are they set on an average of what people get in the test runs?
) Otheriwse I think it was a learning curve for Farsight how to set them, and I must say that in this last season, they just feel right on most tables. Season 1 they are on average too easy, Season 2 and 3 are definitely on the hard side sometimes. I think what makes it difficult to set them just right aside from judging how well the table can be played on average (and I surmise there are some pretty good pinball players at the Farsight officies), is the fact that on some tables scoring is linear, and on others progressive. Red & Ted is a good example of progressive scoring: the bonus can easily go up towards 5B on a somewhat longer game, and just keeps growing because of accumulation of cities, souvenirs and blasts. STTNG is the same with the ever increasing Borg Jackpots. A table like Xenon or Cyclone on the other hand is fairly linear. These are probably also easier to set.Hi Pinballchris, I sure hope you did a remote backup before pushing the HOF button? I'm also eagerly awaiting a fix to level the playfield again with my fellow iOS players who did benefit from a functioning button
I heard that CC was a mistake, the HOF score is definitely off by a factor 10, skewed to the hard side. Junkyard was initially set too low, so Farsight fixed that retroactively. Something like that also happened to Victory, although I'm not sure what happened there in detail (I just took my 943 HOF points and ran
Cyclone does indeed feel like a perfectly set challenge for 1k. Xenon I think should have a higher limit, about double what it has now.
