Quoted from epthegeek:

Oh it’s not “is my switch working” - the ball is VERY airborne, jumping like a show collie. I was just wrongfully assuming that the switch is very clearly well above was the one needed to register the Black Panther shot. That’s my mistake.

Quoted from cwstattoos:

Yeah if there’s isn’t quite enough power for it to make it over that ramp it rolls back hits the gate and then it counts a hit on the ramp. Once in a while it may count an actual go around the ramp but rarely

Quoted from EaglePin:

It's normal code that for purposes of leveling up BP a shot that doesn't go all the way around and instead crosses the star rollover counts as a made shot to BP. Shots that go all the way around and shots that only go half way should both count for leveling up BP, so it's not likely a crossing of wires. If shots all the way around aren't registering while half shots are then I'd use switch test to check the opto in the back left of the playfield on the ramp that brings the ball back around.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Weird...both full panther shots and flank attacks should count towards panther

WTF, have you ever watched any Avengers....anything?

Quoted from awesome1:

*Edit - I was writing this response and didn't finish for a few minutes and the answers above were posted in that time. They are 100% correct and also -
Just to maybe clear up some things on the Black Panther shot...
When you shoot the right orbit for Black Panther - if the ball doesn't do a full loop and drops down into the pops (Flank Attack), it will count as a Black Panther shot towards powering up the Avenger, but won't count for Black Panther shots like Combo Jackpot - you need to go all the way around for that, which also counts towards powering up the avenger.
One other thing to make it a little more confusing - a Flank Attack Shot will count towards a lit shot, one time per every mode.

Quoted from Defil8de:

Is it it supposed to be a thing where you can't assign a stone to Black Panther? I don't have an issue registering that shot except when I try to do this. I can assign it when I get to rearrange gems, but not with the Black Panther shot itself. Anyone else seen this behavior?

Quoted from Defil8de:

? Is that even an answer?
Oh my bad, like that time in Endgame when Hawkeye came back from getting the Soul Stone. I remember it now - everyone asked Hawkeye where Natasha was, and after he slowly shook his head back and forth somberly, Iron Man said "Sucks to be her!"

Quoted from petrieslastword:

The point is the Avengers argue and insult one another and such all the time. I'm actually not sure if those comments are supposed to be Marvel or Widow but either way they feel pretty on brand for the way the group interacts.

Quoted from EaglePin:

Is the shot going completely around the orbit or just halfway? To place the gem it needs to be a full orbit shot.
If it isn’t placing on a full orbit shot then use switch test to check your BP shot switches.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Spoilers; 'Civil War" isn't a period piece

Nice sound bite, but that was about a disagreement regarding deeply held principles, it wasn't about childish insults when defeated by a common enemy. Does anyone on here commenting on this even read the comics series?

Yup and it'll go to the pops and get placed on Capt 'Merica

Quoted from Eightball88:

Your CM exit switch might be registering intermittently. Check to make sure a ball hugging the outside rail activates the microswitch. I had to bend the leaf out a bit on mine to make sure it always registers. Like you, I first noticed the issue during soul gem quests

Quoted from vikingerik:

I'd say the better use of the Captain Marvel multiplier is for the Reality Gem, not the Soul Gem. All the blowup scores I get come from that - shots of 100m or more during more Binary hurryups, Battle Royale, Super Victory Laps, and 30m multiple times in Trophy Mania.

Quoted from Da-Shaker:

I need a cheat sheet on where to place these gems.

Quoted from Maniac227:

Some quick questions regarding Capt. Marvel and gems...
How does Power gem compare on Capt. Marvel? Getting the perks faster and more binary shots worth it or Reality all the way?
I have the Pro and i heard that my Capt. Marvel multiplier doesn't go up? If that is the case should i go with Power?

Quoted from Bagdad:

Joined the club with a NIB premium on monday. I only played a couple of test balls but I already noticed some minor issues:
1- Intense airballs from the sanctum target.
2- Manual plunge is way too weak/weird most of the time. Auto Launcher is fine.
What are the best solution to fix theses? I'll search the thread but if someone knows the best fixes, I'm a taker.

Quoted from vikingerik:

1 - Just bend the target back down. There are mods for a stronger bracket if you want to get and install one.
2 - You need to get and install a stronger plunger spring - that seems to be the only thing that works for it.

Quoted from vikingerik:

I go like this:
Power Gem goes on either Hulk, Captain America, or Black Panther. Whichever needs the most help powering up at the moment. After each Avengers Assembled mode, that avenger stays collected, so hit Change Gems when you can and move it to a new avenger to power them up and carry over next time. (The advanced version of this: leave it on the same avenger until they reach level 2 for the trophy, then move it to power up someone else.)
Mind Gem always goes on Widow, since she's the easiest to power up to levels 1 and 2.
Reality Gem goes on the drop targets if I get it early, then Captain Marvel later once the Binary multiplier gets up.
Time Gem most often goes on the drops, those get the most random hits for tacking on time.
Soul and Space go wherever is left over, doesn't really matter.
Sometimes I will move Soul or Mind for short-term tactical reasons. If I happen to hit Change Gems while a Soul Gem Jackpot is lit, then of course I'll move Soul to the currently highest-powered avenger (or Captain Marvel if Binary is at least 4x.) I will also sometimes change Mind for a specific next quest or mode - move it to a level-1 avenger for most quests, or a level-2 avenger if I have any and Reality Gem or Battle Royale is up next.

Right, there is no CM multiplier on the Pro. I've tried using Power Gem on CM, but it's not all that great, problem is the opportunity cost of not using it to power up and carry over a real avenger. If you want to make Battle Royale and the other wizard modes, you really need it helping on the avengers.

Quoted from Bagdad:

1- I tried bending it but was'nt sure which direction. Does it need to be pushed toward the player or more toward the back?
Also, is the game supposed to come with it's own keyfobs? It seems I only had the "dog fob".

Quoted from Richter1019:

Hey guys, first time poster. Can anyone tell me why I can’t access the mode menu prior to starting a game. I’m fully updated, hold both flippers and nothing pops up…

Thanks guys, I’m an idiot, I finally found it in the settings… does anyone else have a problem with the auto launcher… my ball keeps ending up stuck under Thanos’ glove (premium)

Quoted from vikingerik:

Not sure what keyfobs you mean? I just got two keys for the coin door and two for the backbox, just on standard key rings.

Quoted from shaub:

I really wish they would implement that on the Pro. I get that it's nice to differentiate the Premium from the Pro machine, but this game already does that from the layout and mechs.

Quoted from greben0ts:

I’m sitting at about 2000 balls played, and I think it’s about time to break out the Novis 1. I’ve never removed any hardware from the top of the playfield, even when waxing.
I’d like to give a good wipe down this time though. Anyone have any tips? I don’t really want to take every single thing off the top. Is there a set of things that will get me access to cleaning most of the playfield, without me risking removing a bunch of stuff and not remembering where it all goes?

There's an indexed "Key Post" with some tips on this:

Also i've seen a post somewhere on how to rig up a plastic edge to keep the occasional ball from getting stuck under gauntlet.

Quoted from smoothbore19:

So I have the Pin Stadium Neo Adam ordered. I thought i read a post about someone having issues with their flippers loosing power and they found it was the pin stadiums hooked up to certain areas. I did a search but can't find the post. Can someone link to it. I would hate to spend this much money, and hook them up wrong and hurt the machine.

Quoted from moat-pin:

Hi all- any alternative soundtrack/pinsound/any other options out there? I’m in the great game but just can’t get into callouts or sounds/music etc camp as I know many are. Hell even music tracks maybe better. DM if easier thsnks!

Quoted from Zambonilli:

I got to Battle Thanos for the first time ever. I was able to get to the last shot at the sanctum only to clank it off the right post SDTM for my last ball.
This game is awesome!

Quoted from Ryancaseystudio:

Checkout the incredible work by Spider with his sound mod. His visuals and audio are rockin'!!!

Quoted from Mileesa:

Would someone mind explaining exactly when the tower ball magnet grab is supposed to engage? Mine never grabs the ball.
Is it when the ball locks happen or just before multiball starts? Is it supposed to grab the ball at the end of the Soul Quest? I also can't complete the Soul Quest because the ball just goes up and comes back down for that last shot without ending the quest.
I just installed a new set of opto boards Stern sent me and the problem persists.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Put in test mode and place ball there to test if optos are working.
Every ball lock, every hawkeye challenge, for sure at the end of soul gem. Sure sounds like a switch issue because if it was just magnet it would end the soul gem.
