Nice to see the LE/premium version but code still seems way early in general to tell how the features/lightshows will be integrated. I look forward to playing to feel how the ramp/diverter impacts game.

Not much in the lighting department other than the disco ball effect. It has a little more flow but i dont see much worth the huge cost difference. The drop targets are nice but not needed... like acdc pro to premium.

The Premium looked alot brighter on the stream. However if you noticed when the game went dark between players the playfield in the center of the game stays bright. Stern did a great job positioning spot lights on the playfield for the stream. Deadpool pro is a dark game and I did not get to see truthfully if the Premium was much brighter. 4th wall coded for game tilt was great. This game with the right amount of polish could be one to watch. So much work went into making this game. There is still alot more to go. The one thing I could not understand is when gomez said make sure to use a fresh coat of wax and use wd40 on the ramps. Looking at the Premium in the video they looked very slick however I would never put that on any of my games. It must do strange things to the playfields. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

I would absolutely NOT recommend using WD-40 in a pinball machine anywhere. A user used to promote using it on the BYOAC forums several years ago. When others tried it, they came back disappointed with sticky dust being present in their games. Also, it's flammable...

Yeah I was surprised when I heard George say use WD40 on the ramps, I honestly thought he was joking!?

I will wax the ramps, WD40 won’t ever go anywhere near a pin of mine.

Yeah i couldn't believe he said that either, i was like what? I even played it over and listened to it again to make sure that i heard him right. Then he was talking about the playfield angle and said something like put your playfield incline at 7 degrees. It plays best at 6.5 but its a little floaty or something to that nature. Whatever he said it didnt make sense unless i heard him wrong.

Don't forget ASOA that Dead Flip uses extremely bright lighting when he streams.

From memory (ignoring the WD40 comment) George said the game plays best at 7 degrees it’s a little floaty at 6.5.

But that seems to be common with his designs, BM66 needs to be at least 7 degrees otherwise it’s a little floaty, plus Gomez makes fast ramps the ones on BM66 are super fast and that left ramp on DP is back at the flipper before you can blink.

AFM was the only one at that was funny for the first 3 plays then got old real quick. SS one play and I was ready to go on a killing spree.

See this is the thing, Family Guy to me the pin or show or Ted whatever is just not funny at all. Never got it. Then again I like oldschool more than the newer terrible humor of today. I'll take Arthur over Ron Burgundy and Archie Bunker over Family guy. I do enjoy the expolits of Sheldon Cooper but thats mostly for his distain of the human race. Listen this pin would have been funny if it had lines and clips from the films but even those would get old, thats pinball.

Yes that would make sense but i dont think that's what he said. I knew what he meant but i think he said something else. Not a big deal but i was like huh? Anyway, Deadpool doesn't look too bad. The theme isnt for me but i wouldn't mind playing it a few times.

Haha I have no idea now what he said, that’s how I interpreted it, I was a little thrown off with the whole WD40 comment, maybe that’s why neither of us can recall exactly what he said, both sat there scratching our heads haha.

I put Baby oil on my ramps.

I also filled my katana ball lock with whipped cream. #justdoit at all costs.

Its a little odd they haven't put full RGB lighting in Prem/LE, seemed to be a fairly standard differentiator which is missing on this one. Pros only just arriving in UK so will be a while before any Prem/LE turns up for a live comparison

I’d rather put whipped cream on my ramps than WD40

Do it! LOL..

Banger always suggests putting whipped cream on your balls.

I have to admit I’m slightly tempted

George should make that a recommendation during his next stream, would make a lot more sense than WD40 on your ramps

I do WD40 on my ramps.

I wipe it off immediately, but it prevents rust, cleans and gives it a nice shine.

noted to never buy a game from you...

sorry but any flamable lubricant is a no-no.
The balls will carry it everywhere in the game and gunk crap up.

Novus to clean when needed, 100% carnuba wax to protect and make it shine, ONLY lub at metal pivots and VERY VERY sparingly. Best case to be clear to noobs is NEVER lube anything on a pinball machine. It simply is not needed and will cause issues.

anyone knows at what time in the video the disco ball effect can be seen ?

Jump to 56:30

Did you read that "wipe it of" part?

And I do it when taking the machine apart and the ramps are out, in part of the process.

That whole segment was in jest.... the waxing, angle, wd40...

Why use WD40 at all when there are so many better options? I guess if you really are using it solely as a rust remover and are then able to wipe all of it off that's OK. But then you're getting no lasting lubricant/polish effect. Which is fitting, since it's not designed to be a lubricant or a polish and is poorly suited for those purposes because it attracts both moisture and dirt.

It's amazing how many people think WD40 is a lubricant.

The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a “water displacement” compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

I learn something new every day.
I wonder if olive oil would work?

Probably would work. Just make sure you are getting the genuine stuff and not the fake stuff from the Mafia!

Nice to see the Classic Stern machines (Flight 2000, Seawitch and even Quicksilver!) Very cool!

Ramps are stainless steel.

Stainless steel doesn’t rust.

Don’t need to do anything to them. Except clean them periodically with simple green.

rd

Yeah to be honest not WD-40 but something that is about the same, and I use it after ultrasonic (?) cleaning to drive any remaining water after drying away,... with the positive side effect that it really let's all the mechanics shine (rust remover if any). Wouldn't leave it on of course, course it binds dirt in the long run.

Well, yes and no.

Plastic ramps are not made of stainless steel (and the flaps rust) and the wire ramps may rust as well (propaby only on the surface).

would you change iron man vault by deadpool pro?

I wouldn't. I think Iron Man is a much better game. They're very different though, so opinion would vary wildly from player to player.

anybody having black screen of death issues? seen a couple fried machines around town already after less than a couple weeks of play

Maybe it looks different in person but from the video I felt the disco ball was very underwhelming. Maybe the rest of the lights need to be dimmed more but it seems like the disco light was very faint in comparison to the Star Trek Starfield.

Also it seems like a lot of shots that went around the left loop would go halfway up the drop ramp and then roll back down and then fall in the shooter lane.

Other than that The game looks like a blast the play. Can’t wait to try one.

I'm wondering what the disco ball effect will look like with mirror blades? Probably worse, eh?..since you won't see the effect of it on the side wall.

You have to remember that was set up for streaming so it was excessively bright to show the table as Dead Flip does on purpose for good reason.

The Star Trek starfield only looked good if you installed the blackout mod.

Even without the blackout mod it is still much more visible than the Deadpool mirrorball based off of the video shown. As TMwilson said though and he has a good point, it may have looked more faint due to the amount of lighting they used to make the video.

I agree. Plus supposed IM code update is coming at some point.

Simple Green is corrosive! Just discovered that from H.E.P., didn't realize there was a diff. Switching to something non corrosive. Just a friendly FYI.

From the Simple Green web site:

Click on the aluminum link: https://simplegreen.com/faqs/

Don't know if they are aluminum or not, but I'd rather use a cleaner safe for everything.

Interesting. I’ve used it for years. But it is strictly spray on, then wipe it right off again. In the case of cleaning parts when they are off the machine, they are then washed clean with running water again.

I would never recommend leaving any product sitting on a surface for a long period. Whatever it is.

rd

Ditto here, but I think I'm going to switch just to be on the safe side. Just makes life easier if I can use a single cleaner since it's pretty easy to find alternatives locally. I've been using Simple Green in the ultrasonic cleaner, but perhaps time to switch! Might be fine on SS.

Thoughts on this feature in the settings menu? Is it possible Deadpool topper will have a camera similar to Dialed in or JJ Pirates?

20180906_172732 (resized).jpg

Having a camera mode, that 4th wall Deadpool can comment on and ridicule you and your photos as you play would not just make an awesome topper but the best use of a camera yet.

Or he could just call either "hot dog" or "not hot dog" for every picture.

Let’s hope Stern put a little more effort into it, if it becomes a genuine feature.
