Vaccinated Jedi Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Whilst playing this game last night, I realized that the trophies for it are reasonably easy to obtain since the answers to the harder 7-letter anagrams can be found (for the most part) by using an anagram solver. But the thing is, even getting a NP1k score is time consuming. So I had doubts as to whether I should go ahead and try for the three trophies. I can't even imagine how long it takes to get a trophy-worthy score. :worried: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I got the gold trophy for Eliv Thade. The score I got to get gold that month was 4,661. It took me several hours, using an anagram solver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtaxotep Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 A problem with going for the Elive Thade trophy is the times when there are multiple solutions to an anagram, if you guess wrong you lose a life. So it's not a guaranteed thing that you can get to a high score and it can be very frustrating to put in hours just to die before getting a trophy. But otherwise it's a cool looking trophy and it could be fun to go for if you've got some music to listen to or tv to watch while you're working!

Ethelune Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I've considered going for a trophy, but I'm terrified that, after hours of work, my score won't send. That usually seems to be my luck. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 A problem with going for the Elive Thade trophy is the times when there are multiple solutions to an anagram, if you guess wrong you lose a life. I think one of the anagram solvers that TDN provides on the ET information page is specifically for the game, so in the case of more than one word, it will give you the right one. When it comes to going for a trophy, most people say to do it at the beginning of the month because scores are lower. I would say for Eliv Thade, because it's so easy (because of anagram solvers), you're better off to do it at the end of the month. The scores will be much higher and it will take longer, but less people will be trying for it then because the scores are so high. Also with Elive Thade, unlike other games that require a little bit of luck to get higher scores, you really need to beat the scores by a substantial amount. I tried for the avatar on my old account and beat the top score by a little over 1000. By the time my score was reviewed (it seemed to take a long time), other people had blown it out of the water. You need to make sure that you beat it by a substantial amount so that it still stands up, even after the review time. Good luck getting a trophy. And for goodness sake, be careful of accidentally hitting the refresh button on your keyboard! I did that while going for the avatar. Almost cried.

Alice ☮ Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I thought about going for that one too. But then, after getting the avatar, I was so frustrated that I vowed never to play it again x) I might try in a few years though. And if you have the patience, I'd say go for it!

That is brilliant, I never thought to look it up on TDN because it's such a straight-forward game. But now I'm wondering when I have a free five hours so I can go for the trophy too!

Riverus Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 It took me three hours to get a score that at the end of the month would have gotten me the silver trophy had someone else not beaten my score while it was being reviewed. Definitely worth the time in my opinion as I still got bronze, but I won't be playing the game for a while. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaccinated Jedi Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'll give it some thought and see how things go. At the minute, I'm not too keen on doing it. Hahaha! :evo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
