Auughhh... soooooo many times over and over again, trying to get exactly 240, and all the little stupid shapes! I am SOOO sick of this game, but it's the best way for credits and like everyone I'm saving up for Bat Magic. Anybody else getting really tired of the Fireworks game? x_X
 
Don't worry, I've been playing since Beta and I still can hardly get over 200,000 points! I'm thinking that I'm simply not meant to ever get Fireworks magic. I keep trying and trying to get that magic and earn credits.
 
Do you know what really bugs me the most? I try and try and always get bumped before level 5. I usually only get 200 credits and sometimes I get none!

My son plays and the little sucker has to quit playing during level 5 stage ONE in order to get 1900 credits......and then he watches me play and says "Mom, you're not THAT bad, you get mostly goods"

Sigh, --expression of surrender--
 
Yea...i've finally finished playing enough to get 5 star bat magic! I think it's so boring after a while because it seriously takes 10 minutes each game! And sometimes it's not worth it cuz everybody stops at 240,000 and sometimes you played all that for 900 credits! Argh! Happened a couple times! I'm hoping never to play that game again but i know i'm going to need more credits eventually!

At least when ice was around it gave a better incentive to get 1st place! I liked getting two ice cubes and 900 creds a game! Now it's not so great! :)
 

been playing since beta days too, back then (and soon again), the game paid 190 credits for 1st place so I'd play about 10 games a day, now, they're lucky if I can tolerate 2 games.

mule'n the fudge out of the magic is about the only reason to play as enough of the "trade chips" can get you what you want.. (hint hint.. 100 briars.. 100 pirate stools...)
 
Oh yes the good ole days of 190 credits! I remember them well! I used to play the heck out of fireworks to get my magic but after i did i got lazy and don't play as often! My attention span shrinks each time! :tongue:
 
Now that ice is back it's a little more tolerable, seeing as you can now get the best score you can, but... *dies* I could only manage one game and a half before I was completely maxed out. I have been playing waaaaayy too much Fireworks. Time for some Pirates. *sigh*

I have reached the 200,000 mark a couple of times, but I just dont have the patience for it.... I would love to EARN fireworks magic, but I fear there are just too many others out there better than me.

Now Pirates... I am sick of Pirates... 67 darn games to earn a ONE star bat... Plus I pumped big money into a ride room and now we are not in the contest.... I have reached over 700 wins in pirates in the past 2 weeks.... I will keep plugging away while the credits are higher, and love that ice is back!
 
I am sick of fireworks and pirates. I actually have stopped but my younger daughter wants to get a bat magic so I have been playing as her most of the morning.

I thought with the return of ice, things would get better but I am still seeing people getting mad because they came in first. I was winning several rounds this morning (as my daughter) and stopped right at the 240,000 mark several times so I could earn her credits. A few times the winner came out complaining that they did not win the fireworks works magic pin because people were not winning on purpose ~ they went on and on about how unfair it is. I guess this really bothers me a bit. I am only trying to win credits for my daughter who had almost nothing until today (she is up to 30,000 credits now). I did not speak at all after the games for fear of people lashing out for me not winning. (going into level 5 I had 204,999 points and was in the lead, I finished 5th).

Maybe things will get better with the ice now back but I am not seeing it too much. I just wish people would realize that some are working to earn credits for their kids who cannot play during school time or are not very good at fireworks (she didn't even have a fireworks magic pin until today!) Sorry to vent a little.
 
What I get tired of is never reaching 240,000.
Not to mention the fact that since they raised the credits, all the really good players now play all the time. And they don't allow us moderate players to even get to the 5th level. I've also had trouble getting to the 3rd level. If you can't get there, you get zip. And it's a total waste of time.

I'll never be able to get the 1,900 credits from the game. So, even if I do get to the 5th level, all I'll ever get is 900. I'd much rather get top 10 on JC and get 1000 credits.
 
while i am sick of fireworks too, playing 6 or 7 times a night has its advantages. I am well over 100K credits now, and i have become awesome. Look at this Level 1 - Stage 1 score!!! Practice makes perfect!!

Maybe one day you can do this too!! Just dont give up, keep trying!

I get sick of it from time to time. Like if im playing, i play for 10 mintues... im sitting there going "i better get 2,000 credits" and either i dont get 240,000 or i come in first because the really really really good people just stop. And then im like, wy waist another 10 mintues doing this when i could be doing something useful, like roaming around in random guest rooms or playing my NES ;)
 
My problem isn't really getting to 240, at this point I can get there every time, but it's annoying to come in first now; and to have to watch your score so closely. Not to mention the game does get really the same after a long time. I start a game, and then I realize this is going to take soooo long and I'm just like- I really don't want to play this anymore... and I quit. So it's up to Pirates to get me credits now! :)
 
I am so sick of the fireworks game, by the time the game is over, I am a nervous wreck from trying to lose to get the 1900 points.
 
I'm wondering if its possible to set up a few rounds of fireworks where the players are all Dis.
We could then set up a co-op, perhaps where we just have one good player to get the win, so that some of the players that can't reach the big scores at least have a chance to get to the 5th level.
And perhaps another round with some of the better players, where 1 person is designated to be the winner that round, so they just go for the big score, and everyone else goes for the 240k. The next round, someone else is designated to be the winner, and so on.

I know it could be a bit hard to set up, and make sure that only Dis ppl are in the same round, but it would sure help some of the players who don't have the practice, get to the 5th level and at least get some credits (and more practice to get the big scores!), and it would help the better players to at least know that they were definately going to get the credits, so they haven't wasted a round. I know the frustrations of the 240k barrier, I played a game where out of the top 5, none of us scored over 240600! I stopped yesterday at 240006 :rotfl2:

If anyone is interested, let me know, and we could try it today, and see how it works out.
 
I always stop at 240K and there was a girl who asked me in the lobby if I had done it on purpose. She wanted to win magic and never could because everyone was stopping for better points. We played again so she could win. I felt kind of sorry, because I didn't realize that my game impacted other people, but at the same time, part of playing a game is winning and that involves strategy and other people losing.
 
I might have been in the lobby with you then b/c I recall someone asking that...lol

anyway, I've discovered that if you are not completely awesome at fireworks, don't even bother playing between 9-10pm. I was playing and had scores that would normally be on track for 240,000+, and got booted to the lobby after level 2 or 3 b/c it wasn't good enough! LOL I was getting sick of it b/c of the waste of time it is to get booted after level 2 (no credits...how sad). LOL

will try again tonight (but not between the hrs of 9-10! LOL) ok, so don't take my word on that in the off-chance you see me there...

btw, I've just realized that my right forearm is really sore...must be from all that clicking! :rotfl2:
 
Can't wait till see what the complaints are next week? Where did the credits go? :rotfl2: You'll be begging to play fireworks for 1900 and ice. :cool1: I feel it to be the most fun game on VMK, considering you DO HAVE to watch your score. Nothing better than hitting 240k at the 5th level stage 1 or 2 and hoping your score of 240,160 makes it for 2-5. :thumbsup2, I've seen 1st place have 240,388 (FOR 1ST), so bring it on ppl I LOVE IT!!!!! WOOT! And as always I have 5 or so Fireworks pins for ones who might not get there. I do like to help ppl, for the most part. pixiedust: This apple is out!
