I always hear of excellent build quality on these games

What are the things To look forward to vs. stern for instance?

You guys weren’t kidding...what a solid build on this thing

Good job AP on creating this modern classic with the power switch in the right place

Lookin forward to AP4

Quoted from Sebastian88:

It’s awesome, Isn’t it? I love the fact that it’s not easy. Good looking game too

Seriously, it pisses you off and makes you keep coming back for revenge.

I can see why snowflakes melt away after a couple games on it

And is that pirate out of the hat a swipe at jjp? Hilarious!

Quoted from zahner:

It is. There are friendly digs to everything from that to TNA.
Awesome game.

Ya, I caught that one too.

I ordered that knocker like you told me to. And the add on board which I think is for it.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

I dont think he was going after you dude, he was agreeing. That the game is hard makes one
Mad and keeps one coming back for more, and those that can't handle that just say the game is bad.

+1

Quoted from 27dnast:

for some reason, pinball voices (such as Kaneda) have formed opinions from a far with bi actual real world experience. Too bad a voice like that can damage a brand.

Hopefully my podcast has undone that damage...

I don’t know if this has been posted but I’ve had a couple ball hang ups in the stage and the curtain just closes on the ball during ball search which requires the glass off...maybe in the next code update the curtain closing and opening would be better?

Quoted from rosh:

I've never seen the happen live, where it jammed like that and a ball search did not clear it. How did this did this happen? Was it a on a bounce out on a shot made or was it a soft roller that got stuck on the lip and the door closed at the end of a mode or ?

At least 4 times now. I just lift the machine up to free it before ball search.

Sometimes if there’s enough English on the ball it will just glide right into the track and stay there. Usually happens randomly off the pops. I think my pitch is fine as the trunk shot hits about 95%

#11387 3 years ago
Quoted from pinballinreno:

, not a game problem.

Not complaining at all. Love the game

Just thought the curtain opening and closing would be better as the curtain closes really tight against the ball, not sure if that would burn something up if left unattended in a game on route. I powered the game off right away when it happened.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Raise the power of the pops.
They should be aggressive and powerful.
I think thats the way to fix it.

K, what’s a good power level?
