Black Knight - Sword of Rage Club - Honourable Knights Only

I was going to check out the mech, send like there should be an adjustment one way or another but I couldn't find a manual on stern's site (I am on mobile though so could be something wonky). Maybe just some screws that hold it to the bottom of the playfield need to be tightened or something?

Rgb matching the insert? You'll sell 1000 of these.

What does your leveling bubble look like?

Well played.

Whoa. I def. Didn't remove the backbox but I did remove the entire ramp, the lower part of which was a PITA.

Pinside shitposters suck.

Mine is on location. They're only a waste of time if you don't care about playfield wear or resale value. Rolling metal ball is going to win eventually, it's just a question of how long it will take. If you want to debate it please find one if the PF protector threads and keep this one on BKSoR.

You are bad at logic.

Got just over 150mil today. Almost 3x my previous high. My first time in classic mode, what a blast!

There is a rule sheet in progress at tilt forums. You get knight letters for different accomplishments, such as getting to a certain number of shots in a mode, collecting super jackpots, war hurryups, etc.

Damn dude that sucks. I hope stern gets you back up and running in short order.

How many of your 80 games were on the pro vs premium / le?

You may consider it worth mentioning, while you declare the prem/LE to be the best version of the game, that you've never even played a pro.

Knight mode is awesome! Took me many games before I got there.

Retro (spelling knight). Haven't gotten to castle yet!

While they are spendy, I might hold out for a colored set. They look really good on my IMDN.

Like 6 inches up from where it's sitting maybe?

What's your raw material & source? Looks great. Did you have to flame polish the edges or anything or does it cut clean?

Total break out game here. Still didn't get to the black castle! Drained right after qualifying. GC at our location was 252 mil and I didn't think it'd ever get beaten, nevermind by a scrub like me.

This game has a crazy "just one more game" factor.

I feel like I hit the blue lit sword shot and nothing happens to show me I'm in an advanced scoring mode or anything. Is it off during multiball or certain times or something? What's going on here? So far I havent seen a reason to aim for the right side drop targets.

Where is the 2x multiplier shown?

The other thing I dont have a handle on is the orbit inserts. I know the gates are open when they are lit red but I dont know what controls it.

Video plz

Those are pretty dope. Animated ones on the way?

Those balls reserved for future expansion. Probably.

Maybe balls 5 and 6 will turn out to be our "are you a god?" Lol

I called stern and they sent me one for free. They said they stopped including them with munsters.

Modes are worth a lot of points but it seems like you can get a lot more with supers at the current code.

Hydra, the biggest lizard he could find. (Bog?)

It's a simple mode but it's really fun. I've had 3 different occasions where I sealed 4 heads and sliced the right orbit only to run out of time. One of those times I extended on the left standups like 6 times before running out, it's maddening and has become my white whale. Usually I drain way before then, though.

You can adjust that switch to a hair trigger to decrease the reduction in momentum if that's hanging it up at all. You may have a small amount of olay in the posts and can loosed the screws and justify the posts outward if the lane is too narrow.

I have a pro but I will say I was surprised how quickly the stock pinballs started to look dinged up. Take a look at yours and see if they need changed out.

That said the vivak or whatever is likely less durable than the lexan.

You know GD well I've never seen it!

That's pretty dope. I like the leather.

My pro came with a blue post, it was from early in production. Black would have been cool.

I wish they would give us peasant pro owners a code update.

Lack of code updates is not encouraging for a pro owner. Hopefully they're working on some good stuff and this game hasn't fallen to the wayside.

Lots of good stuff in the pro update! Yay! Looking forward to seeing how the modes and war hurryup values change the game.

It says multiball stops super timer, I assume that is to say supers are not eligible in multiball? Or is it a super free for all in multiball?

For the pro the easier modes are going to be a big help for enjoyability, especially on location I believe.

Re: spinner not settling. Make sure the spinner arms are square as well as the bracket and that nothing is binding. I put a little bit of graphite lube on a q-tip and applied sparingly to the two arms as well as the flat of the switch lever where it contacts the activating arm and my spinners are super juicy.

Bahaha this is a much better idea than mean knight mode.

Rage over the knight getting progressively less confident is a pretty bold take. Just get pinball browser and copypasta the mean sound files you want over the other ones.

The lightning flippers actually shot really well. I played it once and got over 60m which I felt like was pretty good. Not sure why they felt they needed to make the game even more of a bastard though!

Update now. Changes the game for the better.

I had some funky issues with insert lights a little bit ago but didnt have a chance to troubleshoot. Is there anything with this system like loose connectors or anything? For example extra ball was lit when it shouldn't be, and the "lock" and "light lock" inserts were both lit (they should be mutually exclusive). The hell hand inserts were also blue instead of purple. Weird stuff.

Did you physically inspect the EOS to make sure it didnt break off or anything?

*Eyeroll*

You all are so dramatic. If it's so offensive to you just use pinball browser and dupe / change / delete the callouts you don't like.

It can't just be "I don't like the callouts" it has to be Steve Ritchie ruined my childhood and has IRREVOCABLY used humor in a way that makes my eyes rain because the black knight belongs to all of us and when he used to say give me your money it was funny scary not funny haha.

How dare he alter the rich and deep canon of the world of the black knight.

Your logic is bad.

Same. This is the first one that's tempting.

Probs line up with the topper release

That could be pretty dope

Are you positive it has the correct amount of up/down play?

So who tries to light the outlane save vs. Trying to hit the black knight mode qualifying targets during ball save?

Has anybody gotten an ETA on topper production / shipping?

My prediction:

This game needs a 2nd set of monsters and more mode content, but we will get topper integration and a few tweaks and fixes.

This is the basis for my hypothesis.

How do they not have an animation for the hydra showing which heads you have cut off?! No brainer!

That's not how much it is, that's the star wars topper. BKSoR is $430ish.

You mean just not shipping the topper yet? Cuz it looks like the best topper in modern pinball.

As far as code I'll say two things. I don't know if he's in charge as far as these things but Tim hasn't released incremental code updates with this game in the way it happens with most stern titles. We've gotten what, 3 big-ish code updates? 4? Most titles get semi-weekly updates the first few months they're out. So maybe he's saving up for a big one.

Point two: less popular games get less attention. There's plenty of options for animation updates, additions, and code expansions but with the way people just don't seem to be digging this game as much as myself and many of you I am a bit pessimistic as to how much more they're going to put into it. I hope I'm wrong and there's going to be a lot in there along with the topper update. As somebody that loves the classics I think this game is an A-1 top titties marriage of classic brutality and modern smoothness but the rest of the pinball community ignores it and is enamored with generic dinosaurs I just can't seem to get into for some reason.

I really want to love JP3 but it just doesn't click. At all. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills the way people are throwing praise at it.

Damn 16 new posts I thought we had a code update or topper info
