I only started playing pinball this year, I’m not good Don't let other people’s opinion on how a game should be played affect how you play it. One of the best things about having a machine at home is you can set it up however you like. If you’re inconsistent set it to 5 balls or lower the difficulty or increase ball save times or all of those lol. Some people will say that’s not how you get better or you’re not playing it right but I think ‘right’ is however you have most fun. You paid a lot of money for it, enjoy it.

Trying to practice certain skills or shots is good but sometimes I’d get frustrated playing like that and just get worse. Don’t forget to sometimes just play and have fun, you will get better like that too.

Replace the coil stop would be my first try, cheap and easy to do

If you look at Godzilla they've removed all the art around the ball guides and raised the guides off the playfield where they can. Probably too much to hope they will go back and do this to runs of older machines but you never know.

Has anyone who did the washers under the metal guides had any pooling/ chipping around the washers? Trying to decide the lesser of 2 evils

Congrats, that must have been an unexpected surprise! I hope they made some pros too but I haven't heard anything

It’ll just make it more exciting when you get yours! I’ve been avoiding playing the 2 pins I have on order just so when I get them it’s even more special. It’s really hard to ignore them when I’m in the arcade but so far I’m managing to resist.

Me either, for me I think it’s a mix of just being a terrible audio connoisseur and not having my games that loud. When I bought a used machine the audio was set to deafening to me. I can understand if you like it that loud you need better speakers but my spike 2s are set between 4-6 on volume and factory speakers sound fine to me at that level

Agreed, it looks amazing

I can’t really see what the problem is in this photo. Does it feel rough to the touch? If it feels smooth then you’re fine

If it doesn't feel smooth to the touch and it's a NIB I'd contact your distro.

Use the buttons on the inside of the coin door

Can someone help me. I doing a full re-rubber and I dont have a screw for this post to the left of the roll overs. Is there meant to be one holding that post in? It goes on the inside of the ball guide right? Meant to push the ball guide outwards and not inwards? Thanks for any help!

Wait, no I see, I think that’s the post that holds the ramp, I put the screw back with the ramp. Doh panic over

Actually can someone take a pic of that area, I’ve confused myself lol. Thanks

Nvm I figured it out lol. What a rollercoaster!

The mr sinister modes are a real let down in my opinion. There’s no real drama or suspense to them, when I first completed them I was like oh is that it? I just don’t feel like it matters how well you do on them other than for score, I didn’t feel like I really beat him or the game.

On most games’ wizard modes I feel the suspense building, I feel my heart getting quicker and hands sweaty and my shots get less accurate as I get closer to completing it, nothing like that on DP for me. I do really like the megakrakolodonus rex fight, that has the feeling of actually beating him.

Still love the game overall just the wizard modes lack atmosphere for me.

Has anyone had a blip where when they select a battle the sound cuts for 1 second and you think it’s going to crash but then sound comes back and everything is fine?

Not often, only had it happen twice. First time I put it down to a random event but then second time I start to wonder

Has anyone had any issues with game freezing and then resetting on newest code?

Does anyone have a latest run prem and pinmonk fans? Do the original cheaper ones fit or do you need the ones that attach to the eos bracket?
