Just arrived (late). Unpacked because it was on a flatbed through a few drizzles (w/tarp) so wanted to check for moisture. Haven’t plugged in because I’d be up all night, but should be a good weekend!

Wow, it's good. To me, the shots feel easier than any other Elwins (not so tight), but wow it's fast (reminds of of Tron a little bit), and the toys are sick. I'm about 25 games in, learning the rules on the fly, but stacking Kaiju fight with one of the multiballs is a good way to score! 850M is my top score so far. Not a 30 minute game by any means, feels like the ball times are short.

After about 50 full games (probably 100 “started” games), still freaking amazing. A couple of comments:

-plays way better at 6.9/7 degrees than 6.5.

-only cheap drains (in my humble opinion) are created by the pop bumper. Maybe some sort of ball save if the ball drains up to .25 seconds after a pop hit in the next code? I think R&M had similar feature with its sling pop

-I haven’t gotten all the way through it, but seems like there is a risk/reward system like GnR in that second column of monster fights called fight or flee. I got to it but of course drained as quickly as the pinball gods would allow (every time I’ve gotten there).

Top 5 (maybe top 1) game at .80 code. Can’t wait for the code to develop!

steepening it fixed a few SDTM's for me too. A powerful shot to the middle orbit (exiting above the upper flipper) would come off and go SDTM at 6.5 degrees. Steepening fixed it. Assuming this is like the other Elwins, wants to be right around or just under 7.

Maybe I just don't know where to shoot, but I've been mid-battle with some monsters, and sitting there holding the ball with no lit shots. So it feels like I'm done, but ramp shots don't light the scoop, and I think I can hear him counting down (so I'm still in the battle), but no lit shots to shoot at. Is this a code issue, or am I just not getting creative enough in looking for where to shoot it? Just happened a couple of times.

I think it was titanosourus, maybe didn’t see the powerline targets lit up.

Plays much better at 6.9/7. I’d use PinGuy, not the bubble.

I’ve used my chin lol

Can’t keep up with all the posts so I apologize if this is discussed. I’ve played quite a few games on the LE, still so hard to walk away from, loving it.

A couple things, I think it needs the flipper cooling fans, are the rest of you experiencing that? After about 30 mins and wicked multiballs, mine get weak.

My shooter lane is clunky. I thought that was the cost of that extra real estate and I played my buddies and could hit the skill shot pretty consistently. Mine seems to do something different at the same power plunge every time, banging around in that left turn. Wondering where I might start here. It does get stuck coming back down on that switch, maybe that thing is too high and causing the issue going up as well.

This game is so good!!!

I think you have to change cities. When all else fails start hitting ramps and something will light up.

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?

I can’t be the first person with this problem so I apologize if it’s all over this forum, there are just a lot of posts. What are you all doing for stuck balls in this location off the plunge?

Look back a page I just asked the same question and got some good responses.
