Super weird that the wire is disconnected from the left bottom servo but the right is the one not moving up and down

excellent brother!

Ha you’re lucky, I missed out on a 10MIL in addition to that so I cashed that one out once it was above 10MIL. Damn though I forgot to send you the challenge. You’re up

.

I've started following a couple of local Aussies on Scorbit, If you want to follow me I'm TEZ (didn't know which was the initials on the game & which was username lol)
Let the mere mortal scoring begin!

I appreciate the responses both of you. Actually you pointed me in the right direction. The coil had a lot of play in it. The "DIVERTER SOLENOID BRACKET" seemed to be sitting too far from the coil, which allowed the coil to freely move back and forth between the bracket and the coil stop. So I just loosened the two nuts holding the solenoid bracket in place, and slid it back to better sandwich in the coil and push it up against the coil stop and tightened everything back up.

Everything works perfect from the test menu. Will need some "real world" game testing to determine if the problem is actually solved or not.

Argh! You Chakaaaa! (resized).jpeg

hahahahah

Got the same email, can’t wait…

Great to hear , looks like yours will have a few more k's to go .

The little guitar showed up , I didn't realise " some assembly required "

Aw, snap!

I considered adding washers to those two posts but because the scoop bracket extends under them, I didn't think it would be necessary. I'm adding the scoop cliffy today so I'll see what can be done.

I understand the rules but don’t like all the multiballs combined with being “penalized “ for cradling up in song modes. Doesn’t make it a bad game, just not my preferred style of play/rules. Pirates has plenty of multiballs too but still allows for controlled play by people that aren’t superhuman like Karl.

Wash your hands & finish your multiballs, then you can go play pirates... Oh and p.s. don't let me catch you cradling!

You can get the poster and tee shirt patches to allow you to cradle a bit more.

Can someone take a photograph of the lower servo of the left spotlight where the wire connects? Trying get a sense of which color goes where. Thank you!

Pinside logic:

POTC: 6 multiballs, stacking incentivized - best game ever please make more!!!!
GNR: 4 multiballs, stacking incentivized - too many multiballs! How can I shut this off and ruin the gameplay??

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but there are technically 27 multiballs.

21 different song multiballs (dif rules,) 4 booster multiballs, plus Tour and Coma mb.

If there weren’t so many multiballs, ball times would be seconds. Game is a drain monster with the feed off the launch and wide outlanes.

I thought was key post but can’t find it- can someone remind me who makes the flipper fans (to cool the coils)? Mine really lose steam fast- within 10minutes. And feel like gotten worse over time. Not sure if I should rebuild flippers too in addition to the fan/cooling thing. Lastly, are they easy enough to install or takes some skill (which I lack). Thank you!

Wait for it......

Wait.....for..... it ...........

(Releasing carrier pidgeon headed for Tibet..)

Pinmonk has the cooling fans. I'd try that before a flipper rebuild. They are simple to install.

I agree with others that the fans are a necessity.

I've found the sleeves need replacing (or at least cleaning) every 2000 plays or so. I did a full rebuild at 3095 plays.
By comparison I didn't do a rebuild on Wonka until 8169 plays.

The one in the back too. Consider the trio a set. All three had pooling. Logic pointed to the stress from the clear band and the other post getting hit @ the scoop.
Cliffy needed a grind.
I changed the blue foam too.

Any chance you could provide a pic?

Thanks I’ll get me some fans then!

That would work real well for a Who pinball game.

Didnt take any. But using someone else's…also some chipping on the ball guide. Touched it up with epoxy, added some mylar, rings…called it good.

Pretty easy job. Suggest starting with the wires under the field first. The only thing I unplugged from the upper was ethernet. Everything else goes with the playfield. I had to clip three zips. The rest weaved back through. There is some “glue” under the stock protector. May want something to help clean that up on hand. When the upper goes back together keep the wires for the spot light from getting in the way of its movements. Adjust the scoop all the way to the left.

Had to take a few mm off the cliffy at the top where the locks are.

Work was quick (about an hour 1:15), curing was 24 hours.

Now just working on staying a head of Vespula on score.

ZaphX, thank you for the video. Very instructional. Need to finish watching. Did you load up the Coma lock? Id like to see that thing work.

And think about adding some fans. Picked up Stranger Things. So, I guess ill need two from Monk.

Universe is trying to speak to you.

thisisnotadollshouse......

Yes:

We're getting reports of some odd challenge behavior, so let me clarify what is the intended way for this to work:

Two types of challenges we refer to from time to time: Challenge and Challenge Match. For the sake of this post, assuming I'm talking about Challenges, because Matches are done a different way in an upcoming release.

Challenges are taunts, or tags, to people you know AFTER you've played a game.

If the app is open when the game is over, you'll see a series of screens that let you add a photo, tag others (challenge), and share.

challenges_send (resized).jpg

What you do is after a game is finished, tag the people you want to receive the challenge, then hit "Send Challenge."

What should happen next is that the person who received the challenge gets a notification.

**If the target user checks their challenge menu or challenge tab in their profile,** they will see an option to accept the challenge.

They have 7 days to accept or it disappears.

Once a challenge has been accepted, the next game you play counts against that challenge. You can tell if you won or lost based on the score card in the screen when the game is complete:

challenges_complete (resized).jpg

There are a ton of known issues here, and all we're working hard to resolve quickly. For example, we will be showing you the score and the challenger when you're playing the game, and let you choose which one you want to challenge instead of handling it FIFO-style. Also, there have been some folks seeing challenges that shouldn't! We're looking into that as well. Understand, these are casual challenges. They are meant to be fun and done in a social spirit, and played casually. The Matches (coming soon) are premeditated, you can't just score a great game then challenge someone, everyone commits and the next game they play, good or bad, counts against the Match.

Hopefully this makes sense!

So I only have 1 game to play, the next one after I accept the challenge to beat the score?

Ha, I bought the same one, but at least mine had the decency to arrive “pre-assembled”.

This is frustrating but can be easily fixed by placing 1 or 2 washers under the post on left side of ramp. I did this and have had zero issues since.

Correct, assuming you've only accepted one challenge for that game. If you accepted 3 from 3 different people, it will handle them first-in-first-out.

We're changing this to let you choose and so on. Sorry for the confusion!

If your flippers have a mechanical problem, the Tibetan Breeze fans won't help. However, if they're working as they should, the kit will keep your flippers feeling roughly the same as when you press start the first time on a cold machine. With the cooling, how the flippers feel at the start remains consistent for as long as you want to play.

I did the fans and collected the temp data with help from Karl DeAngelo (who actually pushed me a bit in the beginning to hurry up and get a solution for GnR since I originally was going to wait for my machine), but I was unprepared for just how bad the fade is on GnR when I finally got my machine. It's very noticeable, especially with backhands and comes on way faster than I expected, even though I had made the temp graphs. Some pins I've tested are debatable, but GnR and Stranger Things are two pins that I can say are absolutely mandatory to have Tibetan Breeze kits for. The fade is just too severe, too fast.

And how is that “Mermaid” going to be delivered?

This game, needs to register when two balls are in the scoop.

Has anyone played with moving the posts on the outlanes into the other predrilled holes to see if it reduces the amount of drains?

In just about any machine moving the posts further up/down to narrow the gap for the outlanes will help prevent drains. It's a real easy modification too.

I think once we get an update for better scoring in the album modes the game won’t seem so multi ball heavy since the modes will get played more. As it is now the game is a lot of rinse and repeat. Start a multi ball, see where the lit shots are. Start a song, see where the lit shots are. Repeat.
Being able to stack Slash solo is also on the wishlist. I’m excited to see what the final version of this code brings.

Yep.

Be gentle. Snug. But not aggressive.

I would have thought it would be better to have a time limit and multiple attempts on a challenge. People are generally only going to challenge someone when they get a good score and the game can be so fickle. Having only 1 attempt seems very limiting as the game can be all or nothing.

I'm not challenging someone when I have a 200k score game. But I might on 20mil. Doesn't give the challengee a fair cracks at it.

know you skip them but i do like the album modes. Keeps the game with that “Zest” freshness. The game keeps the freshest game play imo.
Thank you again for the intelligence on patches.

You're missing two important parts of the in-song goals:

1. Power Chords (which will also improve your shot accuracy by cleaning up the playfield)
2. Hitting the *active* band members as their parts come up to start Band Frenzy. Arguably this is more important than following the song's lit shots and has a greater reward once you start feeding the pops.

Yes but still same thing over and over is my point. With album modes being pretty worthless they aren’t worth risking a drain. Once (hopefully soon) they are better balanced, it will change the dynamic of the gameplay. I think there is a lot of potential with this Pin.

On another note please let a future code update include verbal call outs for reaching various jackpot amounts and stop the skull from burping over the value

A reasonable assessment, but in fairness the songs all have different shots, different band-member shot orders, and levels of difficulty.

Coma, for example, makes you keep banging that Coma shot - difficult until you master the trick.
It's So Easy literally is.
Civil War is a song that consistently kills me off.

I’d like to see maybe one or 2 of those multiballs, as an option, to be into either a timed sequence of shots or super combo. Outer Orbit right to left, right ramp, left ramp all the way to guitar lock in a row lights “Pyro”. You can also hit Pyro targets for multiball still. Then I’d just avoid them targets and others can still hit them if they so choose. Right now we don’t really have a choice. Again, Songs make sense so leave those as is
