[QUOTE="Kaoru, post: 3850, member: 231"] As I said above, I too played it in real life a couple of times, but I can't remember it being THAT speedy and THAT bouncy as it here. However there's a point in what someone else here in this thread said. This is a game that is 15 years old and the tables that you occasionally see out there aren't in mint condition anymore... while Farsight uses newly restored machines as a template as their games. And I never got the chance to play a properly new TOTAN table. But still... I never witnessed a ball action as insanely speedy/bouncy as it is here on a real life pinball table in general. I mean... on some occasion I even saw the ball bouncing out of a return lane just to go down the outlane. And no nudging in the world could prevent it from doing so. Ah, sorry. I wasn't too clear about that one. I didn't mean a direct shot from the genie, but a shot from the genie going to somewhere else (slingshot, lamp, target, whatever) and bouncing off from there directly into the outlane. And since the ball at times tends to take off like a rocket these things happen within the blink of an eye, and I'm literally talking about a fraction of a second. Too fast to see/recognize what's going on, let alone even react to it. Well, at least for me. ;) (And the shot doesn't necessarily have to come from the genie, I just took it as an example, I just as well have said "ramp x" or whatever instead.) But thanks for all the advices and hints! I'm going to try to follow them the next time I play. :) I have to add though that I only have this problem with TOTAN. I do find the ball acting OTT on the other launch tables as well but it doesn't bother me too much on them. This is the most motivating thing I've read in a while. Thanks! :D Ironically I never had that much of a problem with those two. *lol* I mean, yeah, they're hard and challenging... but playable and very satisfying. I love these tables and can't wait for the re-release. :) [/QUOTE]
