Is Godzilla this dark?

Quoted from Joker19:

Very sweet line up there.
Have you registered the machine under your insider account? That might be why it won't take the QR codes or get the new updates on WiFi. But I speak only from what I have seen. Should be getting mine next week so will know first hand then.

Dude, THANK YOU.

Your comment made me try really hard, and I went back to service menu and tried again. Before, it wasn’t clear I needed to do this, but I did try prior and my phone never blooped when scanning at the register screen. Even now, it took 7 tries but it finally took and registered.

Was so excited once it took, I have not tested further to confirm, as I wanted to reply with a fat thanks, but little doubt this was the ticket.

May your belly be extra full this Thanksgiving; bless you sir.

You can pull the interlock switch out so you don’t have to hold it in.

Absolutely not. This is mine in the dark.

After hearing about all of the wi fi update woes, I just went ahead and used a USB stick before even flipping my game. The update only took about 10 minutes to install that way.

I mean… I can understand mild touch-ups in the name of sales, but WTF. Anybody that owns one is going to see how stupid that is right away. How is that possibly smart business?

#3110 2 years ago
Quoted from Kenswift:

So I got a pinwoofer kit for my Wonka today and installed it and OMG. I totally wouldn’t have been happy with just adding a sub. The callouts weren’t clear and it wasn’t just missing the low end. Now it’s amazing. To say it’s 10x better is an understatement.
That being said, I thusly told the owner he sucks because I had to order one for my Godzilla. It should get here Wednesday.

It's just amazing in gz. Hook up an external sub as well

#3114 2 years ago

Just played multiple games on Godzilla LE and premium at Pintastic. Incredible game. I hate the theme and callouts (just a personal preference), but the gameplay is spectacular...and really, that's what counts the most. You Godzilla owners are very lucky. ENJOY!!!!

And PS - Blue Oyster Cult during multiball is an epic addition. LOVED that!

#3115 2 years ago

I gotta say, DugFreez , your upcoming Flamin' Frames kit is the main addition to my Premium that I imagine already being there when I step up to my Premium!

Quoted from rob3:

Doubled my money by installing that code update. I knew what I had.

#3117 2 years ago

Premium landed today. Just played for damn near 4 hours with one short break. Decided against updating to .81 as I feel it’s cool to appreciate the major code updates (and I just wanted to play the shit out of this thing right away). This is an amazing layout. It’s crazy how many shots Elwin can get into his games. Love, Love, LOVE that single pop placement guarding that all important scoop. Especially love the way bottom half of the playfield flows with the serpentine side to side action when the ball comes snaking down from the loops up top. Too soon to comment on the code (I have no idea what I’m doing as I resisted watching any streams). First impression though is that the hype is warranted here. This game is fun as hell.

That’s just sad honestly… but I guess there’s a sucker out there willing to drop $400 on cheap Chinese made LEDs.

#3120 2 years ago

I'm struggling a bit to reach tier 2 modes now on v .81 - what is the key?

I keep defeating a monster fully (happens with different monsters, yes I'm sure they are fully defeated), switching cities, re-lighting a battle, but I can then only pick another tier 1 - what am I missing?

#3121 2 years ago
Quoted from wtatumjr:

Here are the Wizard magnetic speaker surrounds. The LE has speaker cut outs. Premium and Pro are solid like in Aerosmith.

Get 0.81. The magnet handling is much better than 0.80, which is really crappy compared to 0.77.

And even aside from the substantially improved magnet grabs (not as good as 0.77, but better than 0.80), 0.81 has a lot of cool touches that make the overall experience better. Do it....DO IT!

Oh I have no doubt that it’s better, I just haven’t been an early achiever on a game since GB and want to ooh and ahh over the new code drops. So I’m going to see what’s here now and get .81 later in the week. That .gif is admittedly amazing though and had me grabbing my thumb drive.

Mine too. Little dampness in my pants…not going to lie.

Looks like the new code when out on “easy” mode offers a Calliou Battle that I can finally beat.

#3127 2 years ago

I still have no clue how to activate a tier 2 monster or what the point of the cities are.

#3128 2 years ago
Quoted from TaylorVA:

[quoted image]

No. This picture is a little over the top and slightly annoying. I actually have Pinstadium lights on four of my machines that really need them. Godzilla does not need them at all.

#3129 2 years ago

The ball gets stuck here quite often. Anyone come up with a solution?

#3130 2 years ago

Does anyone else have issues with soft plunging the ball? Mine constantly hits mechagodzilla. I've recorded a few videos in slow motion. It's still hard to tell but I'm almost certain it's the screw on the exit ramp that is kicking the ball to the left. I've raised the ramp up and down. I've messed with the shooter knob. Still an issue I think I just need to somehow cover the screw. Looking for any suggestions if someone else had the issue.

#3131 2 years ago

So, now I have the choice, a tough choice, between this comic style figure or a showa movie style Godzilla.

What do you guys think? What would you prefer?

I like both, now I don't know what to do

I think battles are locked to a city now once you start them in the .81 update. Also, doing a Kaiju battle, bridge attack, tank attack, and power mode will destroy the city and earn an achievement.

Thanks for the info but that doesn’t really answer my questions haha

Quoted from nicoy3k:

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure you need to have at least one ally lit and not collected to do a teir 2 mode as they are team up modes. You also need to have defeated at least one teir 1 battle I think. I am probably wrong, but that seemed to be what was going on when I was playing yesterday.

#3135 2 years ago

LMFAO!!! This happens last night. Mechagodzilla caught the ball last night lol. My youngest son was laughing his ass off. Said Mechagodzilla was tired of getting smacked around LOL

Seems extremely confusing. I unlocked one tier 2 battle and it was amazing so I hope they make it more clear/straightforward (yet still challenging)

Great Picture...I would frame that!

#3138 2 years ago

You have to get at least halfway through a tier 1 battle and not still be in Tokyo. Tokyo is the only city without a tier 2 battle

#3140 2 years ago

Looks like there are some great mods available or coming out for Godzilla. This is a nice mod and easy install. It’s from wizardmod.com I have these on most of my pins. Just a overlay magnet so no glue residue if removed. Really nice quality. Here is a before and after pic

This one does as well. If you ordered the 1954 Neca Poster version yours will too.

I simply tossed the “fire part”

Half way through tier 1 = two spinners vs ebirah? That’s it?

#3143 2 years ago

Is the building lip, that flips open, supposed to catch on the tip of the bridge to make it come open? Mine hits the bridge and the building sometimes does not go down far enough to let the balls free.

#3144 2 years ago

If anyone's suffering from a clunky shooter lane (lighter shots seem to bounce off the right wall, then exit the ramp into the mechagodzilla mechanism), I suggest the following:
tweak the ramp. Undo the screw that's visible. Then go under the playfield and undo the nut that secures the ramp in place. Remove the nut and washer and you can then life the ramp off the playfield.
Make sure that you align the edge of the ramp to the metal bracket/wall/return lane that it sits on and then tighten the screw back in just enough to secure it. Don't overtighten it or you may affect the height of the ramp and the way the ball exits.
Once that's tightened, put the nut back on underneath the playfield and give it a try.

#3145 2 years ago

Ever since updating my LE to .81 over WiFi, the game loses track of any balls locked on top of the building if your game ends while they're up there. Trying to start another game initiates a ball search and they're found. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a setting for purging locked ball at game over?

#3146 2 years ago
Quoted from psexton:

This occurs on mine as well though only around 1/4 of the time.

#3148 2 years ago

I just defeated Gigan, advanced to New York, started a new battle, but no tier 2 battles were available…

#3149 2 years ago

Two questions about how this was meant to play, going to a friends to help him tune his-

Tail whip lane return, mine typically comes to my left flipper (I believe that’s the way it’s designed). My buddy’s machine it seems to hit the top of the right sling rubber and come down to the flippers differently every time (not real predictable). Not sure what the fix would be here (unless I can bend the lane return guide).

Scoop eject - mine hits my left flipper every time and I can’t deadflip it over the right flipper, will roll up the inlane a bit and right back down to the right flipper for a controlled shot. On his machine it shoots out so hard that a deadflip put it back to the right sling, which is dangerous. Maybe just turn down the scoop coil?

#3150 2 years ago
Quoted from PinHacks:

the game loses track of any balls locked on top of the building if your game ends while they're up there. Trying to start another game initiates a ball search and they're found.

Aerosmith dumps the balls from the toy box after the game ends BUT…you need to wait a few seconds before you start a new game. If you wait, does it release the balls?
