Forewarned?

I'm still waiting for flipper strength adjustment or the ability end a game that I believe started on JP.

Power to the trios.

I am curious when I get a mystery award and it is “add time”, what is it really doing? I’m not in the middle of a battle at the time.

Also, at the end of a battle you win, they show a couple different point totals and I am trying to figure what it’s really telling me. Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,

The end of a battle when you get the opponents health down to nothing you open them up for the kill shot. Collect at the scoop when the music changes.
This gives a kill shot total depending how quick you beat them and how ,much health you still have. Then it will show the total score you got for the battle and if you happen to drain the second to last ball on a multi at the same time it will show the total you got for the multi.
Each time the music will change.

Add time is probably for Berzerker Rage or Disco Loops (on the premium).

I’ll be joining the club shortly with a Deadpool pro.

What are everyone’s thoughts on adding a shaker? Worth it?

I’m think about joining the club also and have been wondering the same regarding shaker motor. On my BM66 the shaker feels like an afterthought coding wise. On my WoZ the shaker is amazing, feels like a haptic motor. Hopefully the shaker is good on Deadpool.

Love the shaker and I recommend the Pinball Life Spike 2 shaker! Works great!

I have the pinball life one on my modded out pro. It's well integrated and quite strong without rattling the walls.

I saw a few negative reviews with the older code updates. It's good to hear a current review. I just placed an order for the pinball life unit.

I wish I could rent those!!!

Yeah, one of my mates is an operator and with the pubs closed i've had two or three of his machines at a time rotating through here for a 3 months now.
Helps him out in tough times and i get to put some real time into machines i would never buy for myself on spec.
Had a Munsters Pro here, an ACDC premium, Jurrasic Park pro. The Aerosmith has been here the whole time and is the only one that i intend to buy, althoiugh i am starting to Enjoy Iron maiden in the last couple of days since it's been here. just the music i don't like.

+1 for the shaker
+1 for a sub

Yeah i have an external sub, makes a huge difference.

+1

Been having consistent lighting issues on my machine lately. I'll see the typical flickering or missing lights (usually first noticed on the top right lanes). This will then make almost every light flicker too. I unplug all of the Ethernet looking connections (node connectors?) and reseat. Works great for a few games but I can't seem to play about 4 games without seeing the issue again. What should I look for? I can't find any loose connections and there has to be one connection causing the whole playfield to flicker like crazy right? Any help would be amazing!

short question, is your right outlane also set to wide from factory?

With the power off, reseat all the pin connectors with node boards associated with the flickering inserts. Common problem.

Take them off. Game is too easy with outlane posts.

thankyou

Thanks! Went through and reseated every connection on the machine this morning. Is 6am too early to start testing and playing with young kids sleeping? Will report back if I survive and if it’s working better.

Wow, I must really suck. I'm terrible even with rubbers on the posts.

It is factory recommended to not have rubbers on the Inlane/Outlane post circled in yellow. (pic is from Stern online, I'm at work so can't get pic of my actual machine).

The outlane post circled in Blue has 3 position settings on the right side I believe. Widest opening is how mine came from the factory.

Removing either of those posts I have seen discussed, but seems pretty extreme In my opinion, but if it's your game set it up how you want it to be and find the most enjoyable for you to play.

I have no rubbers on yellow post (Have tried with and without and I didn't find easier one way or the other, but it does change how the ball acts)

I have Blue post at widest setting and have also tried middle setting with no noticeable difference in gameplay.

My high score is currently 2.9 Billion.

thanks, that answered my question. i just reached 2 Billion. the game is easier than other titles, but i like it.

Beat mr sinister part3 with my son today. Was a lot of fun. still wish some code polish with more Highscores entries.

Great game

i hate berserker rage, it locks you out from wizards modes... waiting 40 seconds until i can access megakrakolodonus rex on the last ball???

Power to the 4....

Plus previous Stern Gameroom of the week.... I am sure the Deadpool took it over the top

Deadpool can still be brutal to me... 1 or 2 Billion+ game followed by 50 million... haha!

Great Job! I'm still working my way to the final battle - have gotten to Megakrakolodonus Rex and Clone Multiball a few times though.

Yes, still a few "bugs" that could be fixed and the biggie is the lack of expanded leader/champion/highscore boards for various modes... could be expanded to include the battles, quests, multiballs, etc... The lack of extended highscore boards is the only missing thing in this game and is a bit frustrating since every other modern pinball has much more than just the top few scores...

Still hoping for that last elusive code update (even though it's been over a year since the last update. )

Anyone have a tough time un-screwing the coil-stop screws? Mine are either glued-in with screw glue, or I am super weak. Could not get them off to replace the coil-stops.
I feel shame.

I remember them being pretty tight, but you HAVE to remove by 500 games unfortunately, so going to have to keep trying!

Are you using a screwdriver or a socket? DEFINITELY use a socket and rachet.

I was attempting with a screwdriver. I will upgrade to a socket + ratchet.

Thanks Vireland.

I have a mystery screw that showed up towards the top of my playfield today - Near the Colossus loop, and I can NOT find any holes where it would go!
Can someone tell if there's a screw under this post to attach it to the ramp? It's on there solid so I have my doubts, but I otherwise can't figure out where it goes

Check under the ramp by the scoop. Feel around for this area.

I’m about to pickup a HUO Deadpool Limited Edition. I’ve never even played the game before, just watched videos of the gameplay and combed online for information on the game and it looks amazing.

My question for you owners is... is there anything I should look out for aside from normal issues? Any early model problems? Any issues with the play field or warranty issues that were present on the games?

Also, am I silly for buying a game I’ve never played?

Did I mention I’m so damned excited????!!!! This is my first pin that isn’t a pro.

First and foremost, look under the lock shot guide rail. If not protected it tends to move side to side and damage the playfield. Besides that the scoop protector is low quality and tends to break.

Edit: As for buying Deadpool, it's a great pin. That doesn't mean you'll love it but it is a rare total package of art, music, callouts, layout, and rules.

THEY ARE HERE! joeraptor2003 (pingraffix) came to the rescue and made us a ramp protector. While at it I worked with him to add sling and inlane plastics.

Here they are installed. Not sure on pricing just yet as we are tweaking two things but reach out to him if you want some.

I have a prem but added the hammock plastic. I'm suggesting to him a pro one with holes for that plastic and a pre/le version without the back holes.

The LE is beautiful. Congratulations.
Make sure you get the vinyl record that includes the soundtrack. If you'd prefer a cassette, I'll trade you mine from my Premium!

I heard a rumor a new code drop was supposed to be coming. Can anyone confirm or deny?

ThAt would be great !

There's been speculation for awhile now, and we certainly hope so, but until it's released it's just wishful thinking.

You've been lucky. The coil stops are so crappy they have failed for me in less than 100 games on some Sterns here. You have no gold dust in the cabinet under the coils?

Mine went in the first month or so, left side only. Dropped shavings all over the node board.

I had to change both of mine by 400 games and I felt pretty lucky to make it that long from what other's were saying. Fortunately they are inexpensive and easy to replace.

How many games have you played on your's in 1.5 years?

Wait....mbrave77 you’re from Haddonfield! Isn’t that where the famous Michael Meyers from “Halloween” is from? I’ll never forget the first time I saw that movie when it came out. Freaked me out for a week.
