Quoted from 2000_Alum:I hope you mean million or I REALLY suck
Yep, corrected. If I was dropping 3.5 billion on the game I could live with a few bad balls.

5 ball games too?
Quoted from Green-Machine:5 ball games too?
No, factory settings. I play all my games on factory settings, I like to play the game how it was designed to be played and see how good I can do. I had gotten 2 EBs on ball 1 so I had 4 balls left after my first ball.

Oh! Gotcha
Quoted from Green-Machine:The price on the mod.
Yeah, it's expensive.... But that interaction when hitting the Dauntless. 
Quoted from LesManley:No, factory settings. I play all my games on factory settings,
Me too. I have been tempted to adjust outlanes, but I have never touched any of those either.
Quoted from LesManley:God I love this game, but I swear there is not another game in existence that is so difficult to string together multiple good balls in a row or even just in a game. When you have to really start focusing and shooting for specific things (like in Wizard Modes and later on during play), this game is unforgiving. I've never seen another game like it in that regard. Case in point, played Gibbs since he was low on the totem pole score wise. Ball 1...3.5 million with 4 more balls to play. Everything was working. Play on, get another EB...and still end up with only 4.5 million for the game...5 balls later. I of course missed my hold bonus that was lit, so I missed out on countless points over those balls by not being able to carry over bonus and I had the Dead Man's Chest wizard mode running with 6x scoring, hit 1 shot and drained. I have seen this so many times on this game. It's like the game says, "I gave you 1 ball, that's enough of that." and you get pops right to the drain or a dribble off the gold targets down the left outlane. She's a beauty, but what a cruel mistress.
I feel the same way! I actually lifted my playfield looking for electromagnets that could activate in the posts when it wants you to lose. I’ve never had a game so consistently screw me over when I get something good lit. The worst for me was 6x playfield on the Fountain of Youth wizard mode and all of a sudden I bricked every single shot until the timer ran out and got NOTHING. This was after me nailing every shot like butter getting there. After that I was on the defensive for the last 2 balls. Every shot rattled between the posts and came back with a wicked spin that would result in relentless slap saves and shaking it out of the outlanes, until it jumped over the flipper to drain, then the star map dropped the second one down the center. Somehow I still love the game though

You got nervous!

Choose Norrington today and the progress during modes goes very fast. Got close to the non-existing “break the curse” final mode.
Played 4 mini-wizard modes but didn’t complete any of them. Got about 6 extra balls which I really earned. Not for a score.
Only special rewards an EB.
Who has ever got this far?
5AB97B38-6F7C-4A61-A5B3-E3565D5BE5FB (resized).jpegBACK IN THE CLUB. In what seems to be fate or destiny, we traded away our AFMr LE #860 and some cash, in order to get a like new JJP POTC LE #860 (crazy!). HUGE thank you to Kurt at Hemisphere Amusements for making this happen. The game has only 83 lifetime plays and looks brand new. As someone who previously owned a POTC and put on almost 2000 games, this one definitely looks like it was hardly ever touched!
The family is stoked! Now I have a whole bunch of mods I need to pickup from Mod Couple. :p

Congrats....as you already know its a keeper 
Its the only game I've gone way overboard with mods, but it really improves the look of the game. The chest mod and that new Dauntless mods are both incredible

I got 2 wizard modes a couple of times. It's tough, but extremely fun. A great sense of accomplishment to play one of those wizard modes.

Welcome back! There's a preorder list for the cannon smoke mod too. I would probably only turn that on during parties though.

Crap I might be too late on the dauntless mod. 
Quoted from f3honda4me:Crap I might be too late on the dauntless mod.
You should start a will he make more speculation thread
Quoted from KingBW:I got 2 wizard modes a couple of times. It's tough, but extremely fun. A great sense of accomplishment to play one of those wizard modes.
In ~100 games, I've only managed to see a single wizard mode so far. And of course I didn't complete it.
Quoted from f3honda4me:Crap I might be too late on the dauntless mod.
maybe u can get on the "if someone drops out list"? It looks pretty awesome
Quoted from f3honda4me:Crap I might be too late on the dauntless mod.
A few people ordered 2, ... speculation says that a few might show up later if you can't squeeze in from cancellations, or incomplete orders.
Quoted from Reznnate:In ~100 games, I've only managed to see a single wizard mode so far. And of course I didn't complete it.
I might change to 5 ball games once the code update with the final wizard comes through. My wife and I are in the mediocre club. Don't want to put it on easy settings.

The game is hard! It’s fast as TZ and way more complex. Also, a keeper!

way more complex is an understatement
Ok guys and gals... shameless plug here for a awesome, easy to install mod:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jjpotc-double-barrel-cannon-mod#post-5548067
First and last mention I promise. But I do have a question for you all - the chest mod was about the most technical, time consuming mod I’ve probably done. All in all not hard, but took maybe a few hours or so to complete. Would you be interested in a mod unlike no other on JJPOTC, that could take maybe 5hrs to install, but visually on par with the chest mod?

Sure, well ... probably ... depending on what it is.
Quoted from PtownPin:way more complex is an understatement
Lol. The basics are pretty simple. The deeper you dive, the more complex it is (in a good way for me). Tonight I beat the high score for treasure hoarding. 
Now that has me curious on what that's all about. I'll research that one tomorrow. Love this game.

Totally agree....its gets more and more complex the deeper u go....one of the reasons the game will probably never get old....looking forward to the new code

Quoted from Soulrider911:A sneak peek at the top portion of a new flasher dome rum barrel I’m working on. Both the lantern and the rum jug allow light pass through from the flasher

Looks cool.....wish it was included with the barrel
Quoted from PtownPin:sure ... spill the beans
Me and my big mouth! I will say I threw a ton of time at the development and prototyping around the time the playfield clear problems emerged, kinda as an escape from the drama. I hired an artist(she worked for cheap)and spoke with some vendors about an initial run of 50 or so units. Then I got nervous there’s so few pirates that it may not be feasible. I could just sell the game (not that I would) an make a nice profit or go all in on this and maybe loose money. I was thinking about pricing it around $250ish which in this hobby is kinda the going rate for a premier mod, which this definitely is! Heck the chest mod is amazing and factory - this mod could have been in the game also! That might of netted around $100 each, but allot more time putting everything together, and support, and things never go as planned, and on and on. I also kicked around offering it to a pro modder to run with and take a royalty, or just put up the teaser video knowing it was my idea. I think a few brave souls here could/would do the mod on their own after seeing it, but offering it as a complete kit with easy instructions, where you’ve upgraded your game on a Saturday seems so much more appealing. Hell maybe it’s actually dumb and I’m just bias. Sorry no spilled beans yet... maybe some day.

Heres your saving grace....many people who own a POTC don't mind dumping a little more cash at the game especially since the market is currently several thousand higher than the original retail...your time is now

I’ve had two games like this. Usually though, I only make it to one wizard mode if I’m lucky. One looked identical to your screenshot. But my absolute best, I was 2 chapters away from the 5th wizard mode and had check marks for every chapter I played. End total was 9.1 mil, due to finishing the red wizard mode with 4x playfield. TBH I’m glad I didn’t make it, because I would have been pissed there was no end wizard mode yet!
Quoted from f3honda4me:Looks like I’m in on the HMS mod!
you was lucky! and welcome back! its a great game!
I miss this game! Anybody in the Northeast looking to make a trade? I have a bunch of games I can offer

Huh? So what’s the idea?
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Huh? So what’s the idea?
If its really a great mod I'm sure he could get 100 owners to pre purchase or at least put down a deposit.....
I'm only going to make about 8 of these as they are super time-consuming. If interested hop over to the topic here and add your name:
