Jersey Jack, 2018This has probably already been requested, but it would be good if the chest released any locked balls before the match sequence so you don’t have to wait to start a new game.
Also, the treasure horde award should be much higher. Not sure how the points are determined but I got it the other day and it was only about 50k. Going for combos is fun, but really not worth paying attention to currently.

Pretty sure the chest releases balls much sooner in the beta code now, as soon as the game ends.
By the time the match hits or doesn't, they're drained.
At least there's now been a small sliver of communication in the POTC forums from JJP. Had been a LONG time since that happened. Their radio silence has stood out in the past year while threads for many other games have good engagement from the people who make or support those games. Hopefully it's a sign of them being willing to start communicating more again.
It would also be nice in the new code if the map award and mystery award, would wait for the the animation to finish before granting the award. I like it to be a surprise. Also the hurry up award is not worth it and runs out too fast IMO.
Quoted from sulli10:Been awhile on this thread.
Any word from some knowledgeable insiders on possible code?
Just beta test like 6 months ago.
Bumping this thread to whine about no new code. My Elvira has been updated literally TWICE as often and about the same number sold. WTF
Quoted from Faust:Time to bump this; how about the wizard mode
Maybe now that GnR is released, they can get back to some other projects...
Quoted from Nepi23:Also don't forget BT for other pins as well!
Bluetooth and wifi are being beta tested on the other pins now.
Quoted from kidchrisso:double bump
And again... DI is getting an update shortly it appears... hopefully POTC isn't far behind...
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Maybe we’ll get an early Christmas gift of JJPOTC 1.0 code by 12/24. And a promise to mine the code ideas thread for gold and a final round of changes. That would be fantastic news (if real), now to get Keith onboard.
What Jeff said!!!!!
I wish they would just give a status update, the game is fun as is, but would be nice to know if it's actually coming.
Based on this thread, my Williams IJ is likely to get a code update before my
Jjpotc!! I kid, I kid...

100% guarantee you are right
Quoted from 3pinballs:Game is great now, can't wait to see what enhancements they make
It’s great but incomplete.
Hoping something happens soon or I may be letting my game go which is unfortunate.
Quoted from zaphX:Not that unfortunate since the LE is changing hands at double MSRP.
I’m leaving money out of the equation.
It’s a shame for a great game like this to not get the treatment it deserves from JJP.
Yes, I can already hear your next statement that it’s great as is and I don’t dispute that one bit.
It’s just a 95 percent complete masterpiece at the moment.

The final wizard mode has already been included in the game, but the mode is disabled if you cheat and take the glass off.
I'm joking but I'd much rather see other enhancements that I can actually experience.
Now it's been 9 months since Keith gave his big interview. they are SITTING on a beta, which should just be released. Plus the Bluetooth/wifi updates. Maybe some of the beta testers can share the code?
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Maybe some of the beta testers can share the code?
Please don't try and get them in trouble.
LTG : )

I’ve wondered if they are waiting to finish that last 5 percent for another run of LEs, despite the official position that POTC is done.
Quoted from dts:I’ve wondered if they are waiting to finish that last 5 percent for another run of LEs, despite the official position that POTC is done.
That would be a shitty thing to do to all of us customers who bought on day 1 and still own the game. Maybe they just don’t care, we will never know.
Quoted from Psw757:Maybe they just don’t care,
They do. A lot. They are working on WiFi for five other games. And a reset bug just popped up on GNR.
As good as they are. They can only do so much.
I'm sure they'd just as soon be caught up and everything done so they could catch their breath.
Talk to Ted, Keith, or Joe. You won't find anybody more passionate about their work.

They are not. I just talked to Eric about the code yesterday. Suffice to say they have more then they can handle right now with GNR so everything else has a back seat currently.

Well, right now this is certainly true, they are backlogged. And the next title, and the next after that. At some point, though, achieving a couple of games a year will result in downtime between runs, so filling in the holes may resurrect this title in a few years. I remember buying coveted MMs nearly 20 years ago, certain the game was over with Williams closing. Then it was to be made in Australia, and finally resurrected by PPS/CGC. Never say never, but it would be a long time. Back to the code, sorry for the detour. I found the code to be excellent with the POTCs that I owned, but getting through the entire game is pretty rare, except in hands like yours.

Not encouraging but not surprising since that's clearly been the situation for over a year now - focusing on the new shiny thing (Wonka, GNR) and not putting any of their "passion" into meeting the obligation they have to customers who bought POTC.

Give them a break... Did you hear we have a world wide pandemic going on... I am sure they will get it done when they can.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Now that GNR has had more updates than POTC at this point, I think it's reasonable to think they should finish the game. GNR has had 14 updates since release.
All the new games get a bunch of updates as the release continues. I have a feeling it will come soon since they are rolling out the WiFi update for wonka. At least I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I know it, I definitely hope you're right!!
