Quoted from Bork:

Go play some pinball and enjoy your games..

Quoted from joseph5185:

Thanks for creating this!
13. Don't trigger flippers when selecting character before game start.
Seriously, am I the only one that cares about this one?

Quoted from Psw757:

Flying Dutchman triple cannon animation!
Arghhhhh

Quoted from GrandFireball1:

For LE and CE owners, having a colored scene for game number. Hobbit and WOZ had these and were a nice touch. Right now on Pirates, it’s just a black screen with text

Quoted from Psw757:

Yeah his ship the Flying Dutchman has the coolest cannon.
Three barrels that rotate as they fire cannon balls, it’s called the triple cannon.
Need this in the game!

Quoted from JordanB:

I'd love to be able to skip the end of chapter animation when you drain (hitting both flippers, like the bonus count-up). It just seems to take way too long if you drain during a chapter (which, yes, I do often) and sometimes I'll pay a 4-player game by myself just to burn through a lot of balls and get warmed up. It's rather noticeable.

Quoted from gumnut01:

Just a thought, how many people have had to reduce the following coil settings:
1) sling strength. We know slings are causing air balls and contributing to playfield damage. I think a lot of people have turned them down to 16.
2) flipper strength, straight out of the box people are getting a lot of air balls from lower left and right.
3) BP VUK. Balls should not go THUNK as they are delivered onto upper playfield. Opto can break and playfield is getting hammered behind the ships spinning sails.
I think JJP should review their defaults. I have a lot more dimpling because some of these defaults are too strong. They should at least give a warning to check these. All it takes is 50 games for the damage to show. This is manageable damage and it could have been avoided.

Quoted from Psw757:

This is going to seem sort of trivial but I had thought I accomplished quite the feat when I sunk 3 ships during a single curse of the black pearl mb and other than the super jp callout....nothing exciting.
The fanfare/choreography should escalate a bit as you accomplish things like this. Need a little more excitement or drama. Just saying, that was hard as shit!

Quoted from joseph5185:

I have done zero as well. I can keep the ball on the ship just don’t, but STRUGGLE to load the cannon.

Quoted from gumnut01:

Trick is to ignore all other balls except for the first one that is popped up to the Black Pearl. Then try madly to get the first one whilst the multiball ball save is active. I may have been lucky and had a 2nd come to think of it, but never 3!!! I still find multiballs drain so quick. Blackbeard really helps. Although with him it just seems to be multiball all day!!
Great game. But yes a bit more fanfare for sinking the ships. I do like how the screen shakes when the on screen cannon fires for the chapter qualification. Some really fantastic touches. Looking forward to the shaker really going off for sinking the ship, take notes from AFMr SE and LE. Best use of shaker motor when a UFO is taken down.

Quoted from zaphX:

Feature request: ability to supply my own movie clips for each chapter. Characters/titles remain the same, just the ability to put in a different clip in mp4 format or similar.
Because, reasons.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

JJPOTC might be my favorite pin. Does this thread need to be resubmitted to JJP ahead of the next release?

Quoted from PinballTilt:

I scanned the list and didn't see the following - I'd like balls to be kicked out quicker when multiball ball saver is on. If I drain 2 balls I'll be lucky to get 1 back 5 seconds later

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

You didn’t add - fix liar’s dice which is supposed to be your 5 dice against his 5 right? The game doesn’t calculate in that fashion. You didn’t add - more gold awards to list. Game also needs a coin door ball save.

Quoted from RichterMC:

I like to add some enhancements from an operators point of view.
Most home users won´t see a benefits and most likely won´t like these features for there machines.
For that reason all need to be adjustable in the software menu.
- Adjustment for the Black Pearl mini play field to only rock from side to side when there´s a ball up and in multiballs.
The wires under the pearl will break, if it would only rock when needed time to breakage will be extended.
- Adjustment for the Black Pearl flippers. Flippers on the Pearl should only operate when a ball is up and in multiballs.
The two flipper mechs produce a lot of black abrasion on the main play field. This can cause problems with optos.
- Adjustment to show the player pictures more often in attract mode.
Location players like this feature a lot, as it seems.
- Custom message should get some love. At the moment it´s only white font on a black screen.
- Option to force the GI-RGB LED´s to stay white when a ball is in play.
In attract mode it should use GI color changing and during bonus count as well.
In some locations the house light situation is far from perfect, so GI lights are needed to see the balls on the play field.
In these locations a fixed to white GI illumination would be a big help.
Best regards
Gernot

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Add a camera and selfie programming.

Quoted from EaglePin:

I've got one that I don't think is on the list yet. Disable left post assist when Curse of the Black Pearl multiball is qualified but not active yet. Currently when you're playing a chapter that the post assist would be working for while Curse of the Black Pearl MB is qualified, if you hit the Port Royal shot that would start COTBP MB the post comes up and blocks the ball. The MB still starts, but it prevents the ball from going around the orbit and up into the Pearl. Since that initial trip onto the Pearl is really your only decent opportunity to get a super jackpot for COTBP that post stop is really costly.

Quoted from EaglePin:

I hope JJP hasn’t abandoned #JJPOTC but I don’t have any reason to think otherwise and I don’t have any reason to have confidence in them. With no code updates since the end of April, no communication, and having only ever issued two code updates for the game there’s no reason to think they’re putting any effort into Pirates at all anymore.
I think it’s clear now that even in the first part of the year their effort was on getting Wonka developed instead of updating Pirates. Seems like their full attention is on Wonka and I’m sure they’re also now working on whatever their next title is. Seems like leaving Pirates incomplete at .99 should not be a precedent they’d want to set, but there’s no indication that they seem to care at all. They’ve updated previous titles, but for JJP their past performance doesn’t seem to be a reliable indication of how they’ll handle things today.

Quoted from sulli10:

Pirates has got to be one of the craziest recent stories in Pinball. The night JJP announces, this forum goes nuts. Wasn't that the "Its a sad night for Stern" evening? The game is super hyped with the expectation "no game will ever play the same" due to the numerous movie character selection opportunities. Later JJP announces they are not doing the spinning play field disks (which I happen to think they made the right choice) and the chest lid not being able to open/close (which I would have liked to see in the game but you can buy the aftermarket kit). The game then on this forum gets shelled. The announcement by JJP that the asset licensing base for the game is limited versus say a Hobbit (still better asset base then any other game besides Hobbit I know of ) again the game gets shelled.Ok, the the game is a late coming out ,but, is beautiful and sales are slow. Once people start figuring out the delivered game is something special, they start selling. The LE Model is declared the Best Buy in pinball compared to the SE (which I disagree with, but, admit I am an SE owner). To the play field chipping issues, to the development of a lot of cool mods. To people (including myself) starting to say this game could be the GOAT. To rumors/debates over is JJP going to continue running more games? To the JJP is running out of parts threads and Pirate owners are screwed. Now even tho JJP announces they are doing one more code update, people are pissed about code which is pretty damn good as is ( by the way can anyone identify a game Kieth has not hit a home run on code wise).
All I know is I played about 10 games last night. Every game I see stuff in the code I have not seen before. I am lucky , no play field issues. Debating on putting in the Pinwoofer sound system. Debating on putting in the chest mod. Waiting on the Houdini Devils triangle mod and looking forward to a code update from one of my favorite code designers ( I will never see the final wizard mode as I suck) and I still believe that game has a right to be considered the Goat.
Man what a wild ride

Quoted from EaglePin:

Any chance we can add this to the list:
I’ve often had issues with having Dead Men Tell No Tales multiball qualified and hitting a solid shot through the turnaround in Devil’s Triangle without it registering to start the multiball (and I'm certain it's a shot that went all the way to the back through the loop). If nothing else is happening in the game, a solid shot seems to register fine. But if I'm already playing one or more multiballs and hit a solid shot to the back of the Devil's Triangle loop while something else happens to be going on in the game at the same time (like a jackpot, mystery award, or starting a different multiball) then the shot doesn't seem register a lot of times. It seems like the other event going on takes precedent over the Devil's Triangle shot registering to start DMTNT MB.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Just read through the request list and there are a lot of great ideas. Do we know if JJP is soliciting input or reading this thread? One of JJP’s greatest assets is their finished game code. All titles reach a point when they feel as fun as possible and complete. That reflects high standards and helps their pins have a long shelf life.
