Quoted from PinMonk:

This moment from the JJP expo stream cracked me up. Keith's look while Steve is doing his Black Knight voice is priceless.

That watch looks like Steve lifted it from Capt. Nemo's quarters on the Nautilus.

Quoted from Ecw0930:

Hahahaha. That's great! Sweaty palms!
I missed a 42m jackpot ok Rain earlier tonight. Ugh.

how do you do it? i can't break 20 million, and never even sniffed a 10mil point song jackpot. what \am i doing wrong and/oor missing here?

maybe i'm just that bad at pinball, LOL. if that's the case, then I graciously accept the reality and temper my expectations based on this fact. no wizard modes for me I guess

#16905 2 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

I could go one of those .

I could jump into the trash talk bandwagon but Iā€™m going to embarrass myself when I can barely make it to 2M

On another note, has anyone noticed while playing ā€œItā€™s so easyā€ that the last line of text on the playfield screen is partially covered by the playfield back border? Only noticed this happening on this song. Wondering if it is just my screen being misaligned or maybe something that needs to be worked on by JJP.

#16906 2 years ago
Quoted from Ecw0930:

What are our thoughts, the consensus, on full playfield protectors?
Are they helping with the pooling and chipping issues? Does a playfield protector make things better?
Or will the pooling still happen?

never put a prophelactic on your game. It's too much work and effort, and takes away from the fun

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Iā€™m sure glad I missed this scorbit challenge [quoted image]

how in God's green earth did he reach 259 million points? I mean come ON! I'm about to start a thread here on who among us believes that Karl is not a human, but an alien sent to our planet to ensure that we humans are inferior in every way. no way that score is achieved by a bona fide human. no way

#16908 2 years ago
Quoted from thechakapakuni:

Hopefully theyā€™ll add the Friends/Followers tab with high scores for a specific pin. I just want to see Rolls-Royce highest GNR score below mine, where it belongs

ā€¦ hahahahaha
I was MIA the whole day and the 1st thing that I read is this one Chakaā€¦ ā˜ļø

Pay more attention to the badges. Lock more balls (6 if possible) before starting the song. Ideally you want a few badges and 6 balls to head into the song.

Iā€™m just now starting to get scores in the 20-30 million range. For me, yes itā€™s about the patches, but I seem to get more of those and better song values when I successfully stack the pre-song multiballs. And always lock all 6 to start a song if you can.

And for goodnessā€™ sake, cash out when youā€™re nervous!! I watched too much Karl and came into this thing with a real jagoff cowboy ā€œlay it on the lineā€ mentality. Karl is a bad influence and someone should start a media blitz, a series of PSAs letting people know about the Dangers of DeAngelo. Thatā€™s the title of the after school special.

#16914 2 years ago

Also, we should rank songs from easiest to hardest. November Rain is my biggest jackpot, so I know thatā€™s the easiest. How I love when my stage screen says Hit Everything!

Then this evening I played Welcome to the Jungle, and had one ball left with three shots to finish the mode. Hit a ramp. Hit an orbit. Hit the inner loop? Crap! Drained after three bricks.

Quoted from deejaypee:

I chained a bunch of encores on Chinese Democracy songs and had an amazing score. Once.

While I'm talking about the songs - Civil War bugs me because the light show seems very literal, at one point even having solid red and solid blue hotrails opposite each other. The song isn't literally about OUR civil war, but war in general. All human war is civil war is the viewpoint. It'd make a lot more sense to line up participant flag colors for specific wars scrolling on opposing hot rails throughout the song to represent various conflicts worldwide. You could even have the lights wash across the playfield from one side to the other to "take out" lights on each side. By representing wars worldwide over the last century or so, it'd be a lot better fit for the song. IMO.

And the only dog of a song for pinball play is Patience. Went to the trouble of unlocking it, then pretty quickly realized it SUCKED for pinball. Much rather have Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

Joining the club today - picking up my GNR LE in an hour from GAP. Gonna be a great day!

Decided not to just yet - it Will be arriving next week and Iā€™m going to give it a shot. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll have no problem selling it if it isnā€™t for me. Theme is 100% up my alley but I have some concerns on gameplay, which is more important (IMO).

Best of luck what ever you decide . There have been a few mixed reviews about it .
It sounds like they've been limited by the assets they can get .

... Grabbing my popcorn. Love these kind of posts.. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

#16934 2 years ago
Quoted from Blu:

Yeah it wonā€™t let me accept the challenge either unfortunately. I wonder if there is a bug in the last update and if it is tied to sending challenges to multiple people.
When they work, you have 6 days to beat the score, and a gold medal appears on the score if/after it is beat.
I actually like the challenges more than the achievements, so I hope it gets sorted soon.
You can see that I was challenged to beat a 5m score, and bested it with a 20m score and got the gold medal. Then the score I challenged back was not beat in time (no medal)
[quoted image]

Blu I am actually in Midlothian va as well

#16935 2 years ago

Nothing like unboxing your brand new game and seeing that they forgot to pack the leg levelers and utility tool. Great CS so far as they are helping me out on a Saturday - Headed up to JJ to pick up the accessories now.

I went with a key chain and painted it chrome. I think it's a nice fit.

So I took the ramp off and adjusted it.

Now this comes up. It's not really effecting anything. But I think I out it back together correctly. It's the same as the left ramp.

Is this accurate or do I need to fix it and how?

Thanks everyone.

Tests - Switches - Matrixed - roll a ball though, does it register on the screen ? No, adjust it. Or the black plastic cap on the switch might be holding the switch arm down the gate triggers. Remove it, if that doesn't do it, the arm needs to be bent near where the gate lifts it so it triggers.

Thanks for the quick response. Bent it up a little, moved the black hood up s bit as well. Send to be registering and working. There is no error now.

Does anyone have the art of pinball bullet shooter rod. I just got mine and it has a lot of wiggle or play in it. The stock one didn't have any. It sucks because when trying to hit the skill shot it's sloppy.... is there another sleeve I can get for this shooter rod?

How long did it take for them to take your money?

#16948 2 years ago

My bottom right flipper is all of a sudden not going all the way back to resting position after giving it a clean the other day. I can push it back with the glass off, but the problem returns after first flip. I haven't had a chance to open up the plqyfield yet, but I suspect it's a loose spring. Anything I should know?

Loose coil stop. Or broken spring.

Use the sleeve from the original shooter. You have to use everything from the original shooter except I did get a spring.
