Damnnnn dude I played one and it is pretty awesome and I think I might have to make some room for this one kids. Didn't really see this one coming but it did kind of make me forget aboot the PF issues

New balls.

That Demon Drop mech thing is so ccool.

Loving my premium.
Looping Gauntlet jackpots with the upper flipper is just the best

The raising spinner table is great.
Captain Marvel wireform if great, but a little frustating with rejects...waiting for a fix in the mail though.
Subway is pretty lame.
I say prem+ if you have the cash

Edit: oh and obviously a scoop instead of a stand up

Left - 54
Center 119
Right - 79

I never use factory balls

Last batch from ball baron where dull as shit, horrible. I'll be avoiding his carbon balls.

Well I just always use carbon balls in games with magnets. If holding multiple balls still with a magnet for seconds at a time isn't "heavy use" I don't know what would be

Yep it's a thing alright, off & on for years.

Well finally figured out how the gems work and using their abilities...so yeah that helps

Man, hard mode Soul Gem; that's a tuffy.

Premium if you can swing it, but pro is great too.

Haven't had a Capt. Marvel ball stuck yet

Did you remove your tilt bob like Danger? Thst helps a lot
Also death saves

Alright, getting a little action going

20210310_160459.jpg

They sound even more pointless than normal plastic protectors then. WTF would you be protecting the top of the plastics from?

I promise you your machine isn't going to fall apart without all your protection measures. Just breath

And If you looked at my machine I bought 14 years ago I have them on there! That's our job here; to teach the next generation.

Well it's not often done. You get the gem, then shoot the avenger to lock it in in, then there it sits. This is why strategerie in where you place it is important.
There is a red insert to "change gem" or some shit on the Ant Man scoop that will allow you like 10 seconds to place all the gems in whatever order you want.

Now, there is also a gem that power is allowing you to change gem location. How does that work, that's a good question I'd like to know the answer to. I don;t usually go after that one.

EDIT: So you complete the blue gem that allows you to complete a lit shot using the action button. You then place it in whichever shot you hit next, and then hitting the action button will complete that one shot.

Nice. You can look for the small number over the gem whihc will tell you how many uses it has. This is only for the button activated gems though.

Yeah when I played the pro there was for sure more Guntlet ramp with the right flipper.

Marvel ramp is cool but lots of rejects for me. Subway for the moving the ball is great, it's loud clicking and not really seeing it aren't that great. Ring master turntable is awesome.
If you have the cash prem for sure, if not you'll be happy with pro.

for sure

Why, is Stern having a hard time selling toppers?

Perfect timing!

Turn on the TV or another game

My CM is a bitch too...so many rejects

Yeah I have it installed already sadly.

Think I need to get in there and snoop around, check how the coil stops are and if I'm losing any power that way. Also, move the CM mod around and see if it helps but it seems to be in the right location
As for the ball falling out if the wireform, Its only happened once for me that I've noticed

It can be an annoying issue on some machines it seems.

tdiddy makes a mod for it and it's selling like hotcakes...So you can assume the issue is a real thing on some machines.

I'm not kicking it out the door because of it so I wouldn;t avoid it if I were you.

Welcome to your pinball skills tanking !

Its how many times you can activate/use them

Great thanks, I'll give her a go

Classy product, but didn't fix mine.

Even IF the ramp has issues I'd still go premium, and I've been Pro my whole life.

But it can be fucking frustrating. I had no battles left and had to keep hitting Dr Strange to spot me an Avenger instead trusting that ramp

Yea let's hear it so I can give it a wHirl tomorris.

You can't infinite combo it on the pro is part of the issue

With mine (Premium) it's all aboot ball speed.
Slow balls got to right flipper, fast get a bounce and go to left. So there is a weird middle speed that can go SDTM; not too often though.

Correct, this happens when there are no Gems left

Yes its simple. Instant info will show you the award for a completed row.

You think so? They made it the first thing to appear so it moves pretty quick for me.
Just gotta remember to look at it before plunging ball 1

Thats a fair idea.

Dmd era + have always had tons of important information in the information section

Awards given out for for ramp hits for example.

Counters that tell you when bonii will happen, EBs etc. Pretty important stuff to me anyway.

Easy fix if you can weld

Absolutely request a replacement

All pinball are steel and will "be grabbed" by magnets.
Games using magnets can sometimes "magnetize" the pinball which csn cause issues with machines. I would advise against listening to this and getting whatever ball you want and changing them out every once and a wHile.

Other than Ball Barons "Polaris" which is the worst pinball I've ever seen or owned. Uff.

No, just sick of hearing aboot him

For sure only gem shot points

Yup mine fell off after only a couple hundred plays

Well I'm going to have to cob thru the thread to find potential Capt Marvel ramp fixes. Finally got over to play my buddies and it was shooting smooth right up that bad boy; whilst mine (with tdiddy mod) still rejects 70% of the time.
Got beneath and took off the 2 bolt holding it on but still couldn't really adjust it at all. I believe I heard there was some bending needing on some?

Good thinking

I already have the mod and it didn't fix it, 100% it's machine specific.

Thanks for the tips!

Yep I'm good on the plastic piece, so I think the bending is in order; just seems too steep. It's either that or the wireform is to small to let the ball thru...I mean it literally gets too the first corner and just dies there.

Thanks.

Aren't there like 5 insets lit up when it's Thor's shot? Don't know how you'd miss that?

I think the premium is there, and you probably remember I usually go Pro

I wouldn't worried aboot it until it happens again. Maybe the the pop got stuck on the edge of the spoon or something weird .

The eternal question whether its real or mental.
The short answer is a doubt Stern has changed anything.

Animations are all fine by me.

Bend the metal for more room

Spjn the wheel to re open it...collect avengers, work the computer drops etc

Just got my drop opto board today; took exactly 3 weeks from first email FYI.

Premium the way to go if you can swing it.

Adding a rear handle; weird

Please stop diaper rubbing; This is nothing new and we've been doing this for decades.
This isn't a classic Stern with wood rubbing against wood.

Yeah I just clicked a button, it really wasn't that infuriating.

This has no actual facts attached but no worries. I'm sorry you had to take time to link videos where newbs tell me how they deal with their "tables"

But yes of course, a diff'rent POV amounting to no big whoop.

Ahhh...crushes being formed with WalkDeezy

I would check you coil stops for sure and what pitch are you at?
I just can't imagine Stern flippers having issues making the Widow ramp.

Yes; don't worry.

It's hard to remember that most people are NOT good at pinball; that's just the facts. Bashing lil Deadpool, a set of targets directly in front of the player, is a simple easy way players can have fun. AIQ requires some thinking, although much less than people think, & using the entire PF to advance.

I personally don't get the "no energy" thing at all, but the stacking being confusing I find myself. There's always a countdown going on I have no idea what it is. Probably using the characters voice should be telling me but it's still like; "Whatever."

I guess just use real rubber?

Man pitch this thing under 8 and the ball gets stuck all the time ; but the Captain Marvel ramp works like a charm

Well its not a joint effort between you and the coders to make the game easier for you.

I wish there was a setting where Thanos can just show up and give us all the gems becasue he's such a super nice guy!
Personally I like it becasue it's a nice chunk of points for a few shots. But the participation crowd is always complaining aboot something; this is 'Lightsaber Battle' in SW all over again.

But maybe they'll come and make the game easier and add an insert for a left side kick back?Lyman did make
CIU easier on MET; but that might be the only game that's gotten easier.

Just crank it up to 5 balls if you want it easier. Game is already littered with EBs anyway.

Its kind of "Normal" for Sterns; shitty low grade flipper coil stops are the issue.
You can replace them with Pinballlife coil stops if you wish, and you should
https://www.pinballlife.com/flipper-coil-stop-for-sternsega.html

Whoa whoa whoa....you only need the coil stops. There's nothing here that says you need a flipper rebuild, and there's 0% you need a new coil.
https://www.pinballlife.com/flipper-coil-stop-for-sternsega.html

Hey, it's your monies But yes the first one you listed.

WE KNEW IT!!!
Monster score!

As soon as you get a hawkeye roll back start to shimmy the machine.
I dont find the outlines that bad, but true a slow roll out of Ant Man wants to lean out the right outlane

Well I assume its like any connector and you need a crimper and ends.
Or You could try to push the metal piece out and rewrap it on the wire and then reseat it.
OR you ghetto rig it and maybe drop some solder in the housing and get the wire to stick in the metal crimp

Luckily haven't felt much flipper dade on long games at above mid 7s, CM ramp is the biggest issue with pitch

And the only reason balls are in there are for portal locks. (should anyway)

up to 3.
Lit gem shots Shots are multiplied by # balls in play.

Ha that would have been frustrating

https://www.pinballlife.com/flipper-coil-stop-for-sternsega.html
6 balls I think...or 7 with the captive

And thats why we always advise against using alligator clips! Just solder it on

That's a 'Vertical Up Kicker' of VUK for short. The ball travels under the playfield in the 'Subway'

But wow, haven't heard of that one. I'm wondering if the wrong coil was installed from the factory? Unless there is aenu setting for that coil strength that would be where I would look first

If not then a bad node is suspected and you should contact Stern.

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

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

Let us Eagles soar!

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

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

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.

Ahhh...weird though that Soul wouldn't end. Anyway, what happens in magnet test?

Do all 3 optos work? Should say Tower opto 1, 2, 3

Ummm....agreed on tower magnet test WTF. It doesn't do anything at all

Well yeah man we've been like telling you that for a long time
It has all that but there's a random animation with Hulk that happens every 8 minutes that people don't like. Seriously, this is the shit people complain aboot.

What the heck is going on with all these tower issue lately?!
DO you have any mods hooked up to itt?

I would for sure. Might as well work thru the easy stuff it could be first.

Gross.
