Oh, good, I wanted to order a handful of LoV mods from them (for when my LoV eventually comes in...) but have held off given that negative thread about them here recently. Mind if I ask how long it took from order to arrival?

Whoa, nice. Are you making these for yourself or will you be selling them?

These will be a limited run of 50 sets. They will be sold through Tilt Graphics exclusively. I have them being painted now.

Just got stuck in some combo mode where I had to hit white combo shots. Played it forever and it didn't end. Is that a bug or did I miss something?

White shots are usually victory laps which continue to score the jackpots until you are down to a single ball. The screen should tell you what you’re in and what to shoot.

It took about a week to arrive.

I think the game didn't recognize a ball in the ship.

Here are the latest pics for the serpent and wolf (Jormungandr and Fenrir). Final revisions being made - Whitening the teeth and expanding the plastic protection. These will be available for pre-order through https://www.tiltgraphicsinc.com/. There will only 50 units made. These are being made by CFES (https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/cfes) not me. I am just helping with the fit and prototyping. Please do not ask me about $ or when they are available - I don't know myself. These are so cool! Talk about a world under glass! These look especially good as the skull pile is close to the serpent. I think the wolf actually improves visibility as the plastic was very dark.

Nice update! Just installed and played a couple games.

Thanks for the update and continuing to make the code better and better luvthatapex2 Game already is amazing but love that it keeps getting more!

The game is getting better. The art blades are terrific and the gameplay is feeling more polished than ever.

My local arcade just received a Legends of Valhalla last week! I've been attempting to learn the game and also have a few questions/comments for the group. I've read through the tiltforums rulesheet as well as the one at the end of the owner's manual. I've watched the Dead Flip stream a few times as well. My personal HS is ~177m but in the 10-12 games I've played I've only breached 100m twice so I'm looking to make sure I've got everything down.

First question: do the multiballs have an add-a-ball?

Second question: how long of a delay is there between the game registering a "completed battle" and starting the bonus battle? (Scenario: I used the Valkyrie to finish the last shot as a ball was draining and the bonus battle should have been Draugr. I would have assumed I could sneak in the ball saver.)

Finally, my comments:
I really, really enjoy this game. I could see myself owning one. Huge thumbs up to the design team!

I noticed on one of my ball drains I gave the machine a good shake and it "dangered" me on my next ball. I would have assumed the software would wait for things to settle down. A bug perhaps?

First question: do the multiballs have an add-a-ball?
Rage and Ragnarok (wizard mode) have add-a-ball, the 5 multiball legend battles do not.

Second Question:
Using Thors hammer (as the hammer) to complete the battle when draining will not give you a bonus battle, BUT you will receive the 5 million bonus if hammer is lit on the display. You shouldn't be penalized for using the hammer during a legend battle, but also you shouldn't get a bonus battle if you are not actively playing.

Shaking during end of ball bonus/release of a new ball will give you a danger so don't

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Two more questions now that my coffee has finally kicked in and I'm remembering more about the game.

1. How did I light the Mystery? It seemed more random to me and I couldn't find more information on it.

2. Is the War On Land progressive in its points within the same WOL? I ask because I find myself timing this out just to get the insert lit. When I went for it previously I was getting ~200k and in a game where I'm scoring 60m+ this seems trivial and I can't imagine wanting to extend the time with a Berserker hit. What am I missing here?

1. How did I light the Mystery? It seemed more random to me and I couldn't find more information on it.
Mystery is lit from hitting the Berzerker drop target. Mystery awards are random but with the new update, there is an option in service menu to set for tournaments which puts them in a fixed pattern. Always go for Mystery awards, there are some valuable ones in there!

2. Is the War On Land progressive in its points within the same WOL?
All 3 War on Land battles are now progressive (previously they were fixed and not worth spending the time to grind out a high score)
All 3 battles also have higher base value and continue to grow at each subsequent war on land. You'll score millions now if you keep it going.

You can't use Valkarie to finish a battle while draining. I've tried many times. It's a waste of Valkarie.

I just unboxed and I am having an issue unlike any pin I have ever owned or worked on. When I try to put the playfield up and service the machine, I have a huge risk of the playfield falling into the cabinet. It is like the cabinet is too wide or the rails were installed too close to the cabinet.

Did anyone else experience that?

My friend experienced this on his nib and I shimmed the rails out so the playfield would not fall off so easily,it was reported to American,you need to shim both sides and will need longer screws
I am surprised this is just being reported because it can scare a new owner and damage the blades and Chanel and maybe the gold sides rails

I am so lucky that it didn’t cause damage. I am not joking, there is zero margin of error when lifting the playfield. Do you remember what length screws or what you used to shim the rails?

similar thing happened to me, I thought it was just an anomaly....Good news is that AP builds their pins like tanks, so you really don't need to get under the playfield unless modding it

I would shim those rail out an 3/4 inch on each side so the screws should be an 3/4 longer than stock ,you need to find something to use for shims,American should really send out proper kits!

Yeah, I've learned the tough way a few times now. It's too bad IMO but I also understand them not wanting for someone to use it as an AAB which is effectively what I was doing. But I do like the "strategy" concept of weaving around the MBs specifically to do this.

Is anyone using Titan rubbers on their flippers for this game? I am getting a lot of air balls, particularly off the right flipper. I have tried it at different pitches and have even lowered the flipper strength. Some calibrations are better than others but still dealing with them. Last night one knocked the boat ramp house out of place. Mainly airballs occur when the ball comes around off the right orbit and down to the right flipper.

I've had Titans on this machine pretty much day 1. I have not had any other issues with Titans on any other machine. Thinking I may need to switch to the low bounce ones.

I’ve had no air balls with the stock synthetics or the plain black rubber that I am using now. Perhaps swap to plain rubber to compare

I am using Titans on mine and I am having no airballs off the flippers. I was getting airballs off of the stand up target next to the spinner, but bent the support forward a bit and problem solved. Try swapping flipper rubbers from one flipper to the other.

Ok. I had some other issues where I needed to bend the playfield hooks to get the shooter rood to be able to touch the ball fully on a plunge. I am wondering if the flipper support needs bent some also. It seems like it's launching the ball upwards on a lot of shots.

I would contact support before bending anything. Something is not lined up properly and Dave will help you get it sorted.

Am I supposed be to be able to hit the club shot from the left flipper?

It’s possible but easier from the mid left flipper

My update said successful then I power cycled and get this screen

Do the same update again with the usb but when you turn off the game wait 10 sec then turn it on. It needs a few seconds for the boards to fully power off (noted in the change log )

I waited a few minutes.

Ensure there is just the pkg file on the usb. No other files and try again (insert usb stick , turn on game and it will start the update again). When done, remove stick, turn off game, wait 10 sec snd turn it on

It says update successful. I even unplugged it from the wall and these LEDs have been on for over 5min still

20220805_212157 (resized).jpg

Did you turn it on after trying the update?

Been powered off for 1/2hr and I still see a faint LED

20220805_215247 (resized).jpg

Not sure what to do. All looked fine. Followed instructions, powered off for over 1/2hr and still stuck

Resized_20220805_211607 (resized).jpeg

Did you say you removed the USB stick before power cycling the game? Just need to clarify.

Yes. Tried it a few times. Will re-download the code again tomorrow and try

Maybe try one of these options to get you up and running again.

Re-download the update on a freshly formatted USB.

Try a different USB.

Download the last known version that worked.

All good now. Used a different thumb drive.

Hurray! Enjoy the new code

I am quite supprised more new owners have not posted about the playfield falling into the cabinet
Here is a picture of the shims I installed on both sides to keep it from falling off easily.

Also make sure that the file name is correct and didn't gwt

That's very odd, its like the cabinet is wider or something. Got mine in February and it's fine.

Ordered. Any plans to do something similar with Valkyrie in the top left?

Or the blood eagle.
