I just got first place in the new Fireworks Remixed game with 3224 points. As a reward, I got 322 credits. So, off-hand I would guess that you get 1 credit for every 10 points in fireworks and that you have to make it to Level 5 to receive any credits. Quite a change from the old fireworks rewards. What have others received for playing fireworks?

Reported List of Prizes:

Level 5, ? Place, 4400 points = Remixed Silver Pin
Level 5, ? Place, 3900+ points = Remixed Bronze Pin (See 1342208)
Level 5, 1st Place, 4484 points = 448 credits
Level 5, 1st Place, 3224 points = 322 credits
Level 4, ? Place, 2362 points = 236 credits
Level 2, ? Place, ? points = 68 credits
Level 2, ? Place, 1344 points = 0 credits[/code]

Intresting. Pretty silly that you have to get to level 5 to recive anything though.
Can you still get fireworks magic with it?
*goes back to pirates*.

I haven't received anything besides credits at this point. And I don't know for sure that you have to make it to Level 5 to get any credits. But I know that I didn't get any credits if my game ended in Level 1 or Level 2.

are the points the same than with the other fireworks game? I can't log in now so I can't see by myself..
with points I mean: flawless = 1000 points, etc.

Wait so there is no possible wa y to get 1,300 credits again? Does fireworks remix stay forever??????????????????? I hope not

SillyKid where are you???? Break 6000, and see what happens... or anyone really.... I am a bit upset that they took away our only real source of credits fast and have not lowered the prices on items.... But it gets more and more like real life everyday.

Well real life is like this, but this game is supposed to be a break from real life, not a virtual replica of real life.

yeah, that made me angry too. That game was my main source of credits! I got third place, and I got like, 263 credits. Well I guess I'll stick to playing ghosts then!

Can someone answer me????/


Is this the new fireworks...or will they go back to the old one??????????? is this just temporarily

the old fireworks is gone and most likely never coming back

I think the remix is here to stay.... I got credits after Level 3, just like in the old game. In the remix, the fireworks come super fast and it's difficult to get lots of flawless.... I stopped playing Fireworks because it had too much lag - since everything is speeded up in this version, it's worse because you miss way more fireworks.... I don't really like it, but I suppose it will become acceptable like everything else.

Well, I guess I will reserve judgement until I play, but I wish they had a "retired" area where you could play all of the old games like PIRATES and fireworks "classic" versions.

Yeti Vision Episode Three, here I come!

What happened to rewarding the player who comes in First Place???
I scored 4484 in 1st place and got a whopping 448 credits. Wow:(

I did receive the bronze and silver remix pins today. Do not even know what place or what my score was bc I was so confused after playing. Did not receive fireworks magic.

hmmmm no more rich players after playing fireworks??? I thought Yavn said we were going to receive more credits when we get more points... now ppl just get around 400 top?

Can someone answer me????/

not coming back more than likely just like pirates.

Good to remain open minded - Remember there were lots of complaints when the Pirate game changed awhile back too.

YoHo, Yoho, Drink up me heartys YoHo!! :pirate:

The one thing I can say for it - as bad as i am in Fireworks, old or new, this is the first time I've ever gotten any credits for playing it -a grand amount of 19 ! .... That was at level 1 - I usually don't get much farther than that anyway, so I guess its good for me

At first it is not too bad. But towards the end of a level, it seems like there are several different fireworks all at the same time. I was trying to get the bonus ones but by the end of the level, I couldn't remember what they were. I was just clicking everywhere and getting nowhere.

I have to correct this I got to Level 2 and Lost I don't know How many points I had but I got 68 Credits

Hi, i just got fireworks remix silver pin, i had 4500 aroundish credits or
so, and I came in first!

The new pins I'm assuming are very difficult to get, since they are like awards... they aren't tradable.

the credits are worked out by your score divided by 10 or 1 credit for every 10 points. this does not matter what level or position you get to.

Yes, get 5000 points and you get 500 credits.

So...i'm really dissapointed in the game..anyone else?
I thought of it to be as a better version, a more fun, credit giving, game but..i guess not. Yippee i got 130 credits :)
I'll miss the regular, original fireworks forever :(

for me it's good to have a new version, what I don't like is that we can win less credits now :(

You get the silver fireworks pin by getting over 4400 in the game. You do not need to win.

Well.. let's look on the bright side (if there is one) and say at least they are not charging us to play the new game like they did with pirates.
The new version seems very stressful for most.. as there are lots of things going on at once. I got to level 4 in fifth place with around 2550 points and was booted back to the lobby, pronto.
All i can say is that after a day at work, this is something that will not be fun or enjoyable for me.
Ahem.. anyone up for a game of ghosts?

Yep I got the grand total of 52 credits.

I usually play ghosts anyway so the good news for me is there are going to be a lot more players to play against who aren't going to exit halfway through the game - we are all going to be too desperate for credits (should I laugh or should I cry??). See you in there!

Does anyone know the amount of points you must get in order to get the Gold Pin?

Does anyone know the amount of points you must get in order to get the Gold Pin?
Sounds like nobody's gotten it yet. It's probably higher than the 4,500 required for the green car.

2 words:

Hate it.

LT

I have to agree that the game gives WAY less credits than before.
It stinks man, stinks.

Good to remain open minded - Remember there were lots of complaints when the Pirate game changed awhile back too.

YoHo, Yoho, Drink up me heartys YoHo!! :pirate:

What do you mean were? I'm still complaining lol

I like the new game. I like the added complexity and especially the randomness of the fireworks. The old game was always the same and thus boring.

However, I do have to agree with everybody who says that the payout stinks. Items in shops are getting more expensive (2,500 credits for a four-piece costume, 500 credits for a weekly pin), and reducing the payout from the minigames is not a good way to help players afford anything.

Has anyone gotten the Gold Reward? Someone suggested 10 wins and the gold is all yours? Anyone know what the truth is ?

if the pay was changed, everybody would like it. Face it, thats our main problem here (well, ignoring the gold pin)

I certainly like the new fireworks game itself, and the new pins look great. Now for the gripes: You can't trade the pins, and you get about a third of the credits that you did in the old version. Virtual Magic Kingdom is getting more and more like Real Magic Kingdom!

Has anyone gotten the Gold Reward? Someone suggested 10 wins and the gold is all yours? Anyone know what the truth is ?

I got the gold pin, and yes, it's for every 10 wins. ;)

It may be a while before I see any of the pins, but I LIKE the new game.

I still cant make it past level 2, but at least I am getting credits.

I NEVER got credits from the old game, So I am happy.

I did get 660 points, which was enough to get me the new quest pin!

Is the game giving Fireworks Magic anymore?

I got the gold pin, and yes, it's for every 10 wins. ;)
Congratulations! I guess I won't be playing when you are then. So much for that lol. :)

Did VMK people look anywhere past their noses on this one or what?

LT

QA_caffdawg said fireworks magic is not being rewarded at this time.

SillyKid where are you???? Break 6000, and see what happens... or anyone really.... I am a bit upset that they took away our only real source of credits fast and have not lowered the prices on items.... But it gets more and more like real life everyday.


LOL hey there! what you didn't see me? oh i know, its hard to see me when i'm not on the list LOL! oh boy, the changes have really been a challenge for me for sure. i played 6 games, won 4 of them, but i only scored a high of 5700...i have just the first two pins...well, time for some other players to have there turn at the spotlight which is cool! just one question--the top list is full of names i have never seen on the regular fireworks list--how can you possibly be great at the new re-mix on the first day and not be good at the regular fireworks?? i find the re-mix to be much more harder than the old fireworks lol!

I have news for you :) 5700 is about 270,000 on the old game. It's a very very high score. Congrats!

Look at the high scores for the day, 6500 is average and hey, it's all the same people :) I'll have to write those names down and never play when they are. (see rant thread for reason)

I agree Neoteny...I liked playing the remix but after all the time invested, the most credits I earned was 186;that is compared to the 675 I usually won. I, too, will return to Yeti Vision Episode Three to accumulate credits.


:xmas35: :xmas35: :xmas10: :xmas35: :xmas35:

Okay so after a few more games last night - yes I was trying to give it a chance - and my highest score being aound 5200, I give up. Don't get me wrong the game is awesome. I really like the random patterns (keeps my tired brain alive) and the whole thing where you can see who is close to you with every click is awesome. I am still stuck on the payouts. So with the pins not being tradeable, and no fireworks magic being given out I don't think I will be seen much in fireworks again any time soon.

But for the good news, lol Fireworks will finally have some worth to it... lol

I feel pretty much the same. I love the new challenge the game is giving me but the credits are just not good enough. If they doubled it, the people scoring 6500 would get the same credits as the old way.

So YAVN, how about doubling the credits ;)

anyway

what Neoteny said about putting all the old orignal games into 1 place.. -.- i think its a better idea then having remixes

just one question--the top list is full of names i have never seen on the regular fireworks list--how can you possibly be great at the new re-mix on the first day and not be good at the regular fireworks?? ood" -

A friend of mine is on that list and he always was good at regular fireworks. I know he was busy learning the game yesterday and sharing his technique with others.

Ask him if he can share with the rest of us.

Not in love with the new remix either, but in my first day trying I raked in over 2000 in credits, bronze and silver pins too. It will take some time, just like pirates did, to get the hang of it.

I do not like that you have to take your eyes off the screen to "explode all", but that too I guess, will come with practice.

Just try your best and even if you cannot get "flawless" all the time pop as many as you can, that is what I have been doing, and I am not the best, but I am near the top each time I play.

Kudo's to Stitchers who really rocks at this already :)

i dont like the credit payout at all. i got first yesterday with 3604 points, only got 360 credits.. ?.?

This stinks! ..... we used to get a ton of credits from this game.. and now we don't get over 500!!! ( actually less) ... does vmk not want us to buy things or something?!?

I am still VERY upset about the decrease in the credits from fireworks. I would like to know why players are being punished this way. The prices of items have continually gone up but now credits down. Really, What gives here VMK?

That wasn't my idea. That was someone else:
Well, I guess I will reserve judgement until I play, but I wish they had a "retired" area where you could play all of the old games like PIRATES and fireworks "classic" versions.
I actually like change. The new Pirates game is much better than the old one, and I like the new Fireworks game much more than the "classic" version, as well, with the exception, of course, of the payout system. I'm not actually any good at the new Fireworks game, but I'll get better, and at least I'm not bored by the same pattern every time I play.

I love the new remix. The old fireworks game was slow, boring, and made me fall asleep every time. This remix is exciting, random, and alot of fun.

For credits, it isn't a bad idea. The game is tough and makes you work for your credits. Ppl on vmk have been getting lazy, we needed a really tough change. Now ppl must work for the credits instead of getting easy credits from the old fireworks game.

It is always challenging adapting to new things, this is life. So adapt and move on with it.

FYI:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I kept trying to get to the bomb and would either miss or be too slow. I can't wait to try it out tonight, maybe I can get that silver pin after all. Yay!:luxhello:

I don't like the game. For the times that i've played today, my highest number of credits was 107 credits. I was kicked of the game after level 2 when i was on place number 7, still didn't reached the first, second, third, fourht or fifth place and didn't received a pin :-(

Now ppl must work for the credits instead of getting easy credits from the old fireworks game.



Not as lazy as playing Yeti Vision over and over for codes for credits.

stichers was always up there with you so dont say all new names. and its not aobut going for all the fireworks like your trying to do. best thing to do is keep the multiplier up for flawless and if u know u cant get a flaw then dont try for it let it go by u will stay at x3 still. but if u try and get anything but flawless it will go back to x1. they made the game now to miss some, and only use the clear all bomb at the very last levels with the right icon on you can get lots of flawless at once

the credits they give now if u base it on it takes u 10mins to paly 1 game of fire but u get i see top players gettin over 650 every 10mins. in that same 10mins in ghost u can play what 2 games and get around the same amount of credits. and same goes iwth pirates in 10mins how many games can you play? i tested it and its aorund the same 650+ credits. so now in fair all the games gain the same amount of credits not like before where 10mins in fireworks you get 1300 that was crazy.

Ok, what am I missing. I have tried to play with the lock on and the lock off and I see no difference. Anyone?

Lock & Unlock
You now have a new way to move your selection cursor. Unlocked is the traditional movement method, with the firework shapes locked in place and the cursor moves over them. Locked keeps the cursor locked in the center and the shapes moves left and right (try this play technique and you'll see what we mean).

25516

Sorry the picture is so small but I could not log into vmk at this time, so I retrieved this from the Yavn newsletter.

Unlocked = The fireworks shape bar is locked in place and the cursor moves over each one to the left or right (Traditional Method)
Locked = The cursor (firework selector) is locked in place in middle of screen and the fireworks shape bar moves to the left or right (New Method)

I do like the new game but like you others, not the credits.
How about at least giving a bonus to the top three players? +500 first, +300 second, +150 third?

The comparison to Pirate...at least in pirates you get the keys for every three wins. Then you get some items sometimes that you can sell or trade. Also, randomly every once in a while they give "extra" credits for your effort.

I've been saying a long time that we need ways of earning more credits....too many new things. I can tell you now unless we have a way of earning more credits at a time, no more ride building contests for me...

Also, don't forget the contact us button...some of these changes you all are suggesting are great ideas!

Well, most likely I won't be on that game anymore because I did truly like the old fireworks game. I know, I should have time with the new game, but after I tried so hard in the old fireworks just to get green car magic, I have no interest at all for the game now. I do hope that yavn puts the old fireworks back next door to the remix one. You would have two green car magic quests then, but I just think it should be that way. Sorry, but I don't like the remix, not now, not ever :(

It's not a benefit. It's just another option. You don't have to use it.

And this benefits me how?


LOL, I didn't create the game so not sure how it benefits you :D Gotta love some of the responses you sometimes get when posting information or attempting to assist others :rolleyes:

On another note, Some of the postings have been quite comical regarding the new fireworks remix game, and I have seen many complaints. Complaints seem to be nothing new when vmk games are revamped. Doesn't anybody from beta or the first six months remember playing fireworks coming in first place and only getting like 75 credits. I believe it was pretty low when fireworks first came out during beta and for the first six months and then the credits where modified. Another complaint has been the number of credits received after playing fireworks, although I have a personal interest not receiving either 650/1300 credits per game, it now allows everybody who plays to receive credits based on their score. Because the credits have been pretty much lowered others have been waving a flag regarding the cost of costumes, pins, etc but in all reality not much has really changed regarding costs (Ok, The snowman magic price was raised). All-in-all the cost of items has pretty much remained the same since way back when the first costumes, collector pins, etc where released. The fireworks remix game is a pretty good game, and it definitely takes a little time to get use to some additional options (Flawless Bonus, Explode All Button, Fireworks Patterns Random, etc)

HINT: Others have posted this including CL_DBourque! The old fireworks your goal was to blast/explode every firework getting as close to flawless as possible. The fireworks remix game has a flawless bonus which becomes much more important in this game. Once your flawless bonus goes up to 3.0x you should not attempt to hit every firework if you cannot get a flawless because this will bring your flawless bonus back to 1.0x. I have only played about 6 games so far but brought my score from about 3500 up to about 5800 missing fireworks purposely that I could not get flawless on. So don't attempt to hit every firework that comes out because it will hurt your score.

8.0 Flawless Score x 3.0 Flawless Bonus = 24 Points
8.0 Flawless Score x 1.0 Flawless Bonuse = 8 Points

NOTE: Exploding a firework to awesome, good, ok or awww brings your flawless bonus back to 1.0. Plus, Your score above would be lowered anyways so play a game and miss a few fireworks to see how you improve.

I've just ended at the thrid place with 2246 points, but didn't got a pin :-(

This is a cheap game, I mean really VMK, people played Fireworks for credits! Now, you can get this in a 2 minute game of Pirates! What was the point of that!?!?! Really!

I agree with the others about the payout. It is really bad! Unless you win first place: You get a big fat bonus of 1000 credits plus the 10% score. I did it once. It's nice that the game is not so boring any more, but if you get one or two players hogging first place every time, no one else can get pins or the big payout. Today, there are about three players who have mastered this already and get first place every game and they play game after game after game, all day long! It gets very boring for everybody else very quickly. At least with the old game, you could rack up credits and prizes with out being in first place! They need to add a bonus for second and third place.

That bonus of 1000 credits may only happen every so often because I have come in first place a few times and I have not noticed this bonus yet, plus I don't have many credits so it makes this easy to track.

Here is a tip that makes sense!!! I hadnt even thought of it! do you have an opinion on how high to prioritize combos?

BTW I still think the game plays to low even with your points. The quest machine and bat magic came out after the fireworks payoffs were high. I think they should give 20% rather than 10% but I guess I will learn to deal with it ROFL!

That bonus of 1000 credits may only happen every so often because I have come in first place a few times and I have not noticed this bonus yet, plus I don't have many credits so it makes this easy to track.

Could it be for breaking a point threshold? I think it was when I got the bronze
pin. Could someone that has won many times already shed some light on this for us?

----------

Ok, just got a silver for breaking 4400 points (I came in second). Anyone want to chime in about a credit bonus for firstplace? Or did I just imagine that? I doubt I can get first place anymore, people are getting better at this game very quickly.

I think a good credit award would be: the current 10% of your score
300 credit bonus for 3rd place,
600 credit bonus for 2nd place,
1000 credit bonus for 1st.

Here is a tip that makes sense!!! I hadnt even thought of it! do you have an opinion on how high to prioritize combos?

Hi aengus:

I haven't had enough time yet to really look that far into the prioritization of fireworks. One thing I have been doing is when two similar fireworks come out at same time I am only going after one for the flawless, plus the flawless bonus at 3.0x. The other firework I just let go so I guess I concentrate only on one...Typically, The first three levels (scenes) are fairly easy all-in-all, but the last two levels (scenes) become a little more difficult because of all the combinations. At the very end, I usually just use that "Blast All" button but make sure I get some flawless by selecting the correct firework. I haven't broken the 6000 point barrier yet, but I haven't played more than like 6 times either...

Wait now I know a certain CL who yesterday got all of the pins and in the end he landed up with 6500 in credits and in the other fireworks game he was always in the high game with a score of 183891 so I am anxecious to see what he gets everyday now. Because that is all he every plays is fireworks he has so many fireworks magic cards it is not even funny

stichers was always up there with you so dont say all new names. and its not aobut going for all the fireworks like your trying to do.

ok what i said was not meant to be a slam on anyone on the list so if it's taken that way sorry! i'm just impressed that a lot (ok a lot, not all--better?) of the names are ppl i don't recognize from the old game. i'm impressed like most ppl that those on the list are doing so well early on!

i've had a few ppl laugh at me in the re-mix fireworks lobby and make fun of me for not doing as well anymore...and that's ok really, i know a very few ppl on vmk are that petty...but really, i'm just trying to have fun like everyone else and those that know me know i don't have an ego to bruise. :)

How do you know which is the correct firework for "explode all"?

This makes NO sense!

Okay first, you had to get over 240,000 credits and NOT get first place. At least more than one person got it (usually). Then now they give ALL the credits to the first player, which is totally UNFAIR.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, but it appears they've already adjusted the rewards system. I got knocked out in the 3rd level (unthinkable in the old version! ;) ) and recieved 155 credits, made it to the fourth level (6th place) and got 209 credits.

So, you no longer have to come in first to get credits. In fact, you get slightly more at this level than you used to.

I came in third place and got the remix bronze pin. Does that mean that if you come in 2nd you get the silver and in 1st the gold? Or do you have to score over a certain amount for each pin?

SillyKid, hugs to you. :hug: And hugs to everyone else who is experiencing similar treatment. Personally, I was always in awe of the scores you and the rest of the top FWers put up. You worked hard and deserved the scores.

I have to say reading your post does make me feel a bit better now, though. I just barely broke 280,000 this past Friday, but I was a regular enough at Fireworks that a lot of people knew me. Even with scores in the 4,000s and 5,000s at this new game, I've had people be very nasty to me this week as well. Especially the first day when I was only getting in the 3,000s. Everything from I was a loser to I got what I had coming to me. Some of the players are downright pitiful and hateful, and I'm glad I'm not such a bitter human being. So, you are sadly not alone in the grief caused by sour grapes. *shakes head*

ETA: I've won 12 games total, and there has been no bonus for winning as far as I am aware of. Only bonus is the gold pin after 10 wins.

And KittenPooch, I believe you have to get between 3,900 and 4,399 to get a bronze pin and 4,400 or over to get a silver (either that or 3,900-4,400 for bronze and 4,401 and up for silver). Ten wins and you get the gold pin.

SillyKid has always been someone i've greatly admired in this game. Not only is he a great player but a kind and caring friend. It makes me ill that some people have had such harsh things to say to him. We are ALL in the learning phase of this game again. Yes there will be a few people that will do extremely well from day 1. Most people are forgetting that we all have to start somewhere.

I think part of the reason we are seeing new player names on the list is due to the great ones having to reprogram how they think in the game. Those who were not so good at the old method can learn the new more rapidly. Also, there will always be those players that are better at some types of games over others. It's a shame that people have to be so mean though. Just wait I'm sure the old top players will get their groove back on. :D

I'll be happy when I finally get my gold pin (in about a year!!!!). lol.

I'll be happy when I finally get my gold pin (in about a year!!!!). lol.
Bah, I'm just gonna trade for one. Shame I can't trade for the Silver and Bronze pins, too. Weird that the Gold pin will be the easiest of the three to obtain, huh?

Yeah i think i have a shot at bronze but not silver and ill probably trade for gold

I do like the new game but like you others, not the credits.
How about at least giving a bonus to the top three players? +500 first, +300 second, +150 third?

The comparison to Pirate...at least in pirates you get the keys for every three wins. Then you get some items sometimes that you can sell or trade. Also, randomly every once in a while they give "extra" credits for your effort.

I've been saying a long time that we need ways of earning more credits....too many new things. I can tell you now unless we have a way of earning more credits at a time, no more ride building contests for me...

Also, don't forget the contact us button...some of these changes you all are suggesting are great ideas!

I have to agree... the decrease in credits makes fireworks pretty much pointless to me. I can make about 600 credits in pirates in the time it takes to play a fireworks game for 350-400 now.

I guess my fireworks magic will be rare now, since it is no longer being awarded...

Does anyone know if the flawless bonus carries over from round to round, or does it reset back to 1.0?

does anyone know what score is for green car? i thought it was 4500 or 5500..

Does anyone know if the flawless bonus carries over from round to round, or does it reset back to 1.0?

The flawless bonus actually gets reset every round you change to, for example Scene 1 Stage 1 (You can get up to 3.0x flawless bonus) and when starting Scene 1 Stage 2 (Flawless bonus resets back to 1.0x). Hope that helps...

Yeah, That is pretty rough SillyKid I guess I have not played fireworks enough to really have some ill sorted treatment to me only playing about 10 times now. This happened some time ago also where people would complain about please don't play WDWTiggerRT, or you will mess up the whole credit/scoring system WDWTiggerRT, etc (The whole "You are a dumbo!" has always been a personal favorite of mine). That timeframe I pretty much just stopped playing vmk and fireworks, and started getting better at the other games, but never lost really any touch or score I had on fireworks when coming back. Typically, Now when I go into fireworks I will go into my own room so I don't have to deal with any of what you dealt with, plus I don't hesitated to use the report button and ignore button without saying anything. This way I don't say things I should not and get myself in trouble in vmk, after all that is what they are there for.

I agree it has taken some adjustment from attempting to blast every firework to determining which ones you should blast and which ones you should miss purposely. Last night, Came very close to 6000 again and since only playing 10 times I think that is pretty good. When I first started playing fireworks some time ago other players where always getting the high scores, and it just took some practice of learing the patterns, hitting flawless, etc before working on finetuning strategy. Its no different here and people will get used to this game and start getting high scores again.

does anyone know what score is for green car? i thought it was 4500 or 5500..

The frist day that Remixed was released the required score for Green Car was 4,500 and unfortunately I think many people were too busy complaining about the changes to figure out the new strategy, because that was a very easy score compared to the old 280,000. After the first day they changed it to 5,500 and that's what it's currently at. Still easier than the old 280 in my opinion, because I've already surpassed 5,500 on several occasions with Remixed and could never get 280,000 on this computer.

At first I didnt like the remix, but now it's growing on me. And, I received my silver pin today...finally! lol I didn't like the credit decrease at first, but like someone posted, it's more in line with other games. So I'm ok with it. Now hopefully Jungle Cruise will be adjusted also :)

at first i really did not like the new fireworks at all. but now i am srating to like it and get used to it, i have finally got the silver pin, and i have actually won in first four times! i like the new fireworks now

Everyone says you get the gold pin after 10 wins. Well, is it 10 win in first place, 10 win after you get the bronze and silver pin? I have won over 10 wins but never get over 3500 so I can't get the bronze and silver pin. Does anyone Know plz? Ty

ty mistey, SorcererDonald16, greenhpper, and WDWTigger72 for the kind words here :) i know the ppl being bitter or mean are just a small minority compared to all of the vmk players out there. thanks for reminding me of that :wave2:

That's a good question. I've already gotten a couple Gold Pins but I'm pretty sure I never scored less than 3500 in any of them, so.. perhaps there is a score requirement in addition to taking first place 10 times.

That's interesting about a minimum score to get the gold pin... I myself don't know what that might be though. I scored in the 3,000s all 3 games that first day and got third 2x. Second day I was getting in the 4,000s and 5,000s (I got my silver pin first, then had to sandbag to get my bronze). Now I'm up to the 6,000s. None of my wins have come at anything less than maybe 4,200 or so.

I wish they would put stuff like this in the game instructions in the FW lobby. Just like with fireworks magic, there was no mention of it, and then you have to figure it out on your own AND find some way to explain it clearly to other players while dealing with the dictionary restrictions. *sighs*

Yes, I received mine after 10 wins but did not notice any specific score requirement associated to this feat. Well, The fireworks magic took some time to figure out how often you would win that and I know I posted the different combinations somewhere. The vmk team doesn't want people to know when you will get these prizes and wants this to be a surprised to everybody, which is actually good. Once I get more familiar with the game play, and then get into figuring out strategies for the best way to play, I will look more into the ways you can win these pins. MrGenie was very helpful with me before in splitting up some of these tasks, so if anybody wants to tackle this with me I can place a huge post (sticky note) regarding the new fireworks game.

When you received your Gold pin, Did you already have the Bronze and silver pin?

When you received your Gold pin, Did you already have the Bronze and silver pin?

Hi Acepowerboy:

Yes, I was lucky enough to receive the bronze and silver pins during my first three games I played of the fireworks remixed game. I had no clue how to achieve those levels just played three games and received the bronze/silver pin. I am pretty sure you could still get the gold pin though without receiving the bronze/silver before it. I will have to try this on another account of mine just to see if I get the gold pin before the other two...

Ty for the info WDWTigger72 I just won my 25 win (that is 1st to 3rd place) but I don't get over 3600 points ( I STINK):bawling: lol and no gold pin:ththerethere6il: . Oh well I guess I just keep playing or one of you nice ppl will trade me:bawling: . Lol The only good thing is that I have gotten over 8500 credits.But in the old game I would have gotten 32,500 credits.

Not sure how your playing the fireworks remixed game, but here is a little advice that others have given also. With the fireworks game remixed it becomes very important to blast every firework with flawless, but don't attempt to actually explode every firework. This is because the firework bonus really adds up so you want to make every effort to wait until that firework turns into that white star. If fireworks are coming out too quickly or multiple at the same time only go for ones you can get flawless on. Your score should increase dramatically. One other thing I have noticed is it seems better to miss flawless near the end of a scene, but not miss flawless near the beginning of a scene (flawless bonus again). Flawless is the key to getting a higher score, and if you need to miss a firework then just let it go and go after the next one.

Wow ty for the info, I will try that.

I did that yesterday but it didn't work, I kept missing fireworks if I couldn't get them flawless but my score dropped so I stopped doing it. Wonder if I did something wrong... :confused:

BTW do you need to finish between 1st and 3rd place 10 times to get gold pin?

I hate this game now, it used to be my favorite even though 'sand-bagging' happened.

Anyway, I think the scoreing system is highly unfair, the first player shouldn't get ALL the credits, it's really unfair. Everyone who reaches the 5th level should be 500-1,000. It's only fair.

I finally got my second win today. Woot!

Also, I played in a game with QA_caffdawg and finished fifth. Not bad! :)

I'm not crazy about the remix but I am trying to give it chance.

Question: what's the advantage to using the "Explode All" button? I've tried that a few times but it's rare that there are more than two to explode that will explode as "flawless." So, should we even use this button?

I'll admit I used to argue over the previous fireworks game but now I see some people fighting over this one now! WOW @_@! Oh well I guess i'll jump in too. I think this version of fireworks just takes a slightly different talent then the previous version and that's why you see different names on top of the high scores list. Although I think you'll eventually start to see the familiar names on this new list in time like NaviMap and SillyKid. By the way i'm not sure if NaviMap has even played this version yet and I will be anxious to see how he does.

P.S I stink at this new fireworks game!

i have finish in first to third about fifteen times. i haven't got but one pin. i have got the bronze pin. i have written to the help and they have said they are having problems. so i don't know if that is the problem or not. the person to ask in arwenqueen she has alot of gold pins to know how to get the pins or if there is a problem with them giving pins

I just got first place in the new Fireworks Remixed game with 3224 points. As a reward, I got 322 credits. So, off-hand I would guess that you get 1 credit for every 10 points in fireworks and that you have to make it to Level 5 to receive any credits. Quite a change from the old fireworks rewards. What have others received for playing fireworks?

Reported List of Prizes:

Level 5, ? Place, 4400 points = Remixed Silver Pin
Level 5, ? Place, 3900+ points = Remixed Bronze Pin (See 1342208)
Level 5, 1st Place, 4484 points = 448 credits
Level 5, 1st Place, 3224 points = 322 credits
Level 4, ? Place, 2362 points = 236 credits
Level 2, ? Place, ? points = 68 credits
Level 2, ? Place, 1344 points = 0 credits[/code]

I noticed all it basicly does it just take off the last number in it...

After every 10th win at the Fireworks remixed you get awarded a Gold Fireworks Pin that is tradable, right? Ok, is that ten consecutive wins? I mean, do you have to keep playing until you get ten wins or can you log off and try again later? :pirate:

The ten wins don't have to be consecutive. It's kind of like the three wins in Pirates, to get the Key.

I think, but I am not sure because I have not one one yet, that to get a gold pin you must have 10 1st place wins, not just getting to the end on the game.

Finally got my Bronze and Silver pin, Ty all for the hint. They do work.

At the end when there are many different types of fireworks that are coming out, it may be worth it. Try to pick the type of the firework that has the most showing, and get a flawless on that with the explode all. The others you get are just a bonus.

Did they change the game I 'm on my 12th win and no gold pin

That's weird, I just got my Gold Pin today from 10 wins.

Thanks bopper - I'll try that! :)

Ok I got my Gold Pin today, the way I see it is

You must have the bronze and Silver pin to get the Gold.

Bronze Pin = 3900 or over and finish in top 5
Silver Pin = 4500 or over and finish in top 5
Gold Pin = 10 wins at First place

Yay! I'm getting better at this!

I just got my Silver Pin!

I still don't have the Bronze, but that should be easier now, don'tcha think?

I finished in the #5 position!

I had a stinky score so I didnt get the pin, I was only at 2557.

At least I finally got to finish the full game .:mickeymo:

Congratulations to you all - but now I'm depressed :(

For some reason I struggle to get flawless and always have done - I was pretty good at awesome on the old game and I managed a decent score, even coming in 1st once (the others must have really stunk!).

My highest score so far is 1550, which I played just when VMK opened and I guess none of the good players were on so I could actually get to Level 4 (for the 1st and only time). And yes, i aim for flawless and let others go, but my score is even worse than if i just get good - lol.

So - I'm happy for you, but sad for me. I will never get that Bronze pin.

Ok! I just got the Bronze, so now I have all three pins!

Which means I'm back to where I was before the remix: needing only four more pins for a complete set.

now if this isn't a kick where it hurts, i don't know what is lol..

http://i7.****************/albums/y285/inhellfire/fireworks.jpg

i actually got the 3880 first, then the other.. 20 points.. ::mumbles:: all i want is my bronze pin ::mumbles:: lol..

Ah. The only thing i got from Remixed is 100 credits. Atleast it gives out credits now and Pirates isn't backed up the whole time. Haha I never get past adventureland.

now this just isn't funny anymore.. lol.. :(

http://i7.****************/albums/y285/inhellfire/fireworks2.jpg



*Edit* I didnt get the bronze, but i got silver woot woot! lol ::takes a break::

http://i7.****************/albums/y285/inhellfire/fireworks3.jpg

i actually got the 3880 first, then the other.. 20 points.. ::mumbles:: all i want is my bronze pin ::mumbles:: lol..Yeah, me too...my score was 3888, and it's as high as I can go. Really humiliating when the top three are thousands ahead of the rest of us.

FWIW, the fireworks are NOT random and there ARE patterns. They aren't always the same icon, but they do come up in the same numbers, same groupings, and from the same spot on the screen for particular scenes. For the life of me, I can't figure out which ones to hit and which ones to ignore, when trying to keep the flawless bonus I get to missing them altogether, and then that on top of the fireworks I let go in order to get flawless is just bad news for my score. I can't even choose the right firework and then hit the space bar to get "good", let alone a flawless or two.

It appears that flawless in later rounds pays less than the bonus order, (though of course the bonus order doesn't always come up) but is very important in the early rounds. Getting them in the right order if you can keep the flawless going seems to be gravy, but I just can't do it. I've played enough to earn tens of thousands of credits, but can't get enough points to earn a pin. My kid has played less than a half dozen times and has a bronze pin already. I am so frustrated with this game.

Hate pirates too. Ghost, anyone?

The only good thing about fireworks remixed, is that you do win credits even if you dont finish all the levels, but everything else needs work. You receive no bonus for placing, and you have to win 10 times just to get a gold pin. Wow what a waste of time it is now. I now play pirates almost constantly and can easily earn more in the same amount of time. Remix fireworks again and make it better or something lol :)

Argh! 5,470! THIS CLOSE to my Green Car!

That should be your answer.

I hate this new version. I used to play this all the time for credits, now it is not even worth it. Off to the Mansion for me. I consistanly got 240,000 or higher on the last version and now I can't even make it to the last round all the time. What is the way to play? Is it to go for the extra point combos or go for perfects?
