Stern, 2015Lean down way low when you shoot that shot without lock lit. The vuk fires as soon as the ball hits the entrance opto. I swear that this didn't happen on the old code.
I like it, but I was going nuts thinking that something was wrong after I reattached the demon head.
Quoted from zucot:Got my girlfriend to paint my demon head.

Looks awesome! I wish someone would commission to repaint some of these for us less artistic pinheads.
I shot two balls in genes head at almost the same time and they got locked up in there...looks like I will finally have to open her up to get them out. Weak sauce.

That is the only issue I'm having with this machine. How can this be fixed?

It's amazing how shittily painted the stock head is on this game. I believe Stern even sent some heads back because they were not even painted correctly.

Stern is going to have to look at this. It seems to be happening with everyone. It's also the only issue I'm having.
I'm trying to work this out and it's killing me. Can't even get it to happen with glass off, but it DOES happen..
Sometimes at the plunge, the left ramp arrow is flashing fast and if I hit it then collect the lite bumper shot at the inlane, ALL the band members at the right loop are then lit at once and catman can be got with one shot. It feels like some sort of super skill shot like on Metallica but I can't replicate it. Anyone know what's going on here?
Quoted from Rob_G:Does anyone think we see a new code update before the end of the month?
Rob
My distributor said at least by thanksgiving but that was complete speculation. I'm hopeful we get one this week. Would be great as I'm ready to start playing it. Just been having fun shooting around, modding etc.
Too little too late for me and I'm out of the club. I still like KISS, but in its current form it's just not a keeper for me. KISS has fantastic art, good music, poor/missing sound effects and just mediocre rules at the moment. I would say the code is about 50% done by my estimate. I also should have known better than to buy this game especially when LR was the programmer.

So I installed orange superbands on my KISS...I've never used them before but the pin is so colorful I thought it'd compliment it well.
Looks great but the bands on the slingshots are so frickin tight they dont fire as much as they did with the stock bands...Before I go monkeying with the leafs to make them more sensitive...Any suggestions I should consider?
Thanks
Quoted from Trekkie1978:I put red superbands on my flippers.
did you not put them on the slings for any particular reason?
Quoted from Methos:We need more code. LG multiball is too easy and you can get it again after a few shots? Also need more songs. Already bored with the few on there.
This game has great potential, but need improved code.
Ya, true dis. I need the multipliers to be a skill achievement rather than a mystery scoop award.

I'm glad its easy to start as actually finishing it seems almost impossible ..2 times in 600 games
Quoted from thundergod76:Looks awesome! I wish someone would commission to repaint some of these for us less artistic pinheads.
I paint all kinds of pinball plastics, see my multiple threads in the modding / topper section. Sparkys , well walkers, BSD village , stnng ships, MB figures, AF stuff, whomobiles......etc . I would be glad to help

I'd be willing to send you Gene, but can you post photos of an example?
Quoted from Pinfactory2000:Was really hoping for code for Halloween. It's been over two months now I believe. Bummer.
You can't go by what others say on here, especially when it comes to code. I don't think even Stern knows when code will be released. I hope they make some features actually earn-able instead of just being random awards from the backstage pass. Something like super ramps could light after so many ramp combos for example. Super jets would light after so many jet bumper hits....

I've finally been able to put some time on my LE…this game is in need of a code update.
Reminds me of when Star Trek first came out.

Yeah, its just something to bang around on right now. You cant really 'play it' yet...Still fun but in very early code stage for sure.
Quoted from forensicd:Just made some new cards for the game. Mine will be here this week!

Nice work. Love the free play ticket art
For anyone who has installed the Cliffy on the scoop, is yours getting beat up too?
Mine is just taking a beating…better the Cliffy than the play field.

My Cliffy took a heinous beating after only a few games, plus the shot was almost impossible. I installed a Mantis instead.

Yeah, the cliffy does make the scoop shot A LOT more difficult to make.

I left the club too, for the same reasons. In a year, after a few more code updates, it could turn into an overall excellent game. But none of this should have been a surprise - and I have no regrets being a (former) owner.

My Cliffy is getting beat also and I have way too many rejects. How's the mantis working? I'm considering switching but the Mantis leaves too much wood exposed. I feel it won't protect as well as the Cliffy.

the Mantis is working good, but quite a lot more rejects after I installed it. Makes the shot a real challenge which is ok by me. Just make sure that it is installed tightly to the front of the hole. I had to re-adjust mine to be tighter. Zero wear on the wood though.

have some pictures?
Quoted from capguntrooper:have some pictures?
Mudflaps, any reports on that mantis protector?
Quoted from rockrand:Code for a game that has not yet been produced,really hope kiss not not end up neglected
Nope. There is a huge update coming soon.
Quoted from Iceman5000:Nope. There is a huge update coming soon.
I hope so! It's been a very long wait for the game code to really get past the state of initial release. Some stuff needs to be changed like making super modes earned, not random freebies. Plus, Lonnie really needs to do more than light a pattern of shots in a song and have it score points. He did that same shit with Star Trek missions and it turned a lot of players off because the missions felt boring to some. He didn't even finish, let alone fix ST. That says something in itself. Maybe someone else finishes KISS...??
Rob
It would also be nice if they would add attract mode radio to kiss like Ac/dc and Metallica have. From the factory kiss has the best sound( with out changing speakers or adding a sub) with the new spike system and you can't play the songs without starting the game.
Quoted from Iceman5000:Nope. There is a huge update coming soon.
Sweet. Any hints?
Quoted from capguntrooper:Mudflaps, any reports on that mantis protector?
Here's the Mantis after moderate home play. My Cliffy is pretty beat up but the scoop seems to be holding up okay. A few rejected shots but not as many as the Cliffy.

Thanks, I slipped my cliffy under my play field protector and it plays beautifully now
Question so I don't do any damage...what is process to remove Gene head? I have cover decal to install on spinner disc. Aside from that considering the bad rap this game had on announcement, I think it was a mistake! I'm amazed by the play here, one of my faves now for sure.
