Quoted from djreddog:I put that up on 1 ball. . Did you give up JP for this, or just add another game to the wife’s home office, lol?
Edit - JP is to the right
Future all Elwin collection here I come!
Score isn't great but that was already set from when it was at the Railroad. Now that's it's home I'm going to give it the business. 1b+ coming soon.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Maiden is worth a whole day of driving
I drove up hill both ways to get mine!
Quoted from Kkoss24:Would this be the part I need ? I’d appreciate any help thanks !
[quoted image]
The coil is rarely the issue, they don't go bad that often. It's more likely something mechanical or a broken wire.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Thanks I’ll have to dive in more tonight before I order that .
Unfortunately I don't have a Pre/Le so I don't have that specific part to investigate more. I would actuate things by hand and see if it's binding anywhere, after that check all wires are still connected and plugs are secure.
The 50 loops EB seems like a mythical beast to me. I guess timing out the loop jps would help, but that's seems equally crazy. Gotta cash those in. The struggle is real.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Im really hoping this is something that gets nerfed a bit
You know you can adjust the number right? It's one of the feature adjustments. Maybe try setting it to 40?
I'm going to leave mine alone for now, but it's still fun to grumble about.
Get the EB on ball 1, feeling good.
Completes HBTN. Soul shard blinking, saying "hey buddy, get some"
Brick, wild ball! Flailfest ensues
Shardless, survives
Still rocking ball 1, completes FOD
Soul shard is like "let's give this another go!"
Brick
Tilt
The game predictably continued the abuse from there
Leaving soul shards on the table is absolutely brutal. 2 in one ball? Oof. Right in the nards.
Quoted from Ty-Arnold:Does anyone have any idea when the new code is coming out?
No
Quoted from Kkoss24:Thanks makes sense.Im a newb bought first in April had latest code then this one also latest .Does the game change completely with a new code or is it just tweaking ?
This is the code history for this game. It gets updated with each update.
Read though it and it will give you an idea of the changes. Note, not all of the versions are released to the public.
To answer your question, no. Usually just tweaking. But there are exceptions.
But honestly at this point for this game, I really wouldn't expect much. The game is already complete and amazing.

Quoted from PinMonk:There's also the shot where the ramp opens on the Premium, but you have to get Up the ramp on the Pro
(which is harder than the super easy Premium shot, imo)
Quoted from PinMonk:Pro pretty much requires intent to collect.
(amazingly better on the pro, building up silly values is a fun strat)
Quoted from Eskaybee:Does mummy multiball have an Ultra Super Jackpot call out? I’ve never gotten a bullseye with 3x rolling on the super jackpot shot in mummy mb. Today, I did it! I’ve heard him say tripe, quadruple, and even quintuple jackpot. But, never heard the the 3x + 3x(Bullseye) call out. I could have sworn he said Ultra Super Jackpot, but I could be mistaken. In either case, it was intense! Anyone get that before and know what he says?
I certainly haven't. Mummy has become my beast roadblock. I can get the other 3 cards regularly enough but Mummy is owning me.
My pinside jedi mind trick almost worked. First game tonight, just completed mummy on ball one. Took two trips through, but got it done. Unfortunately the rest of the game was a little too beefy.
Here's my upper flipper. This is how the previous owner had it and I've left it for now. It's the only Maiden I've ever played that had the flipper like this.
Pros:
+ Really easy to make the big loop. As in you really don't need to ever lift the upper left flipper.
Cons:
- Can't really shoot the mummy ball or spinner
- Much easier to shoot the outlane by accident
My lunchtime sesh was a roller coaster of emotions which relate to current discussion:
Game one is going decently enough. Ball 3 I look up and see that I have the Power Jackpot at 28m x 4. I have 2x playfield qualified and only need 2 more x's to qualify 3x. 300mil club here I come! womp womp. Got 1 of the x's and then bricked a shot. Game over. Nice knowing you 300 club.
Next game going well. Get to ball 3 and I have 3 Eddie cards. Need to complete 1 more mode and get to 2MtM to get the last card. Got through the mode, started 2MtM. Just have to survive and hello beast! Nope. Tried to time out 2MtM and beefed a shot. Game over.
On today's edition of lunch with Eddie,
Once again, 2MtM ends my hopes and dreams. Completed all the shots once and got a super, was trying to time it out and caught a bad bounce. Also of note as far as timing it out goes, the clock on the display and the audio don't sync up. I drained when the countdown callout got to 7, but the display read 11:59:46. I'm no math genius, but I think 60 - 46 > 7.
Also, I know I read some grumbling about it before, but that Ace's High grace period to collect the soul shard is brutal. I didn't even get a flip at it. Completing AH is difficult enough. Not even having a shot to collect is super sad.
In other news, as it turns out, I'm already in the 300 club! Decided to actually peep my scores and sure enough my Power Jack score is 300,750,000! Kinda bitter sweet since I don't specifically remember doing it. I'll still certainly be trying to knowingly collect it.
The other eye opener in the score dept was that my FoI score is ~550m! That's crazy town, don't remember that either. Must of had a multiplier running with some hot and heavy combo action.
Quoted from metallik:What's your penalty-killing technique in this situation? I was trying to kill off a 2MtM and would shoot the middle and hope for a feed to the left I could bump off the UL flipper to a trap on the LR flipper. Worked OK but looking for better ideas.
This is usually my go to as well. I also like left ramp to ski jump over to the right flipper. Ski jump on my pin isn't 100% reliable and needs a little tap which will occasionally get me in trouble as well.
Quoted from truthdivides:The mode counts 2 minutes off the screen's clock, but the mode is only 1 minute long. The screen clock moves 2 seconds for each actual second. 60 - 46 = 14 / 2 = 7.
I guess you can retire your username now. This post was your calling!
Quoted from tbaum:Hey all - about to pick up my Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast (Pro) but am trying to figure out if it will fit into a Nissan Armada (rental car).
It looks like the cargo bed height is 36.7 inches (https://www.caranddriver.com/nissan/armada/specs/2020/nissan_armada_nissan-armada_2020/405877)
Will I be able to fit it in with the folded down headbox? Any help would be appreciated!
Should be fine. I've used a friends older version of the Armada and it was an easy fit. I think the magic number is 30.5" clearance.
Quoted from WizardsCastle:What's the strategy for getting big scores in this game? I got to NOTB the other day with under 500M!
Get 3X going. Preferably during modes you are good at.
Tons of points in super loops. You can play for nothing but those and rack up good scores
And of course you should be trying to join the 300mil Power Jackpot club
I wasn't feeling great about my 300mil Power JP club membership as I didn't remember joining. Like, I figured I'd still get invited to the parties and stuff but I was still kind of an outcast.
Well today I am ashamed no more. I'm cradled up and see I've got the PJP at 5X * 30ish mil and I only need the easy x from the little flipper to qualify 2X. At this point I wanted to get a picture of the display but my phone is on a table behind me. I tried to do a super leg stretch toe pinch move to grab my phone and almost fell over. Luckily managed to keep my finger on the flipper button. Decided to stop being a dumbass and just get the thing done.
Qualified 2X and then hit the right ramp to start it and drilled the orb for pay dirt. \m/
20200820_143000 (resized).jpgQuoted from Billy16:Well I'll be...I thought that was what the cup in the pin gulp was for.
Reminded me of story:
I'm at a house party years back. Red cups everywhere, people wrote their names on the cups and in a lot of case made up names. Sitting at a table out back. Guy walks out grabs a cup off the table and goes "Who's Butts?", laughs to himself and then proceeds to chug the cup. He was calling some dinosaurs immediately after.
"Butts" aka Cigarette butts.
Quoted from Kkoss24:It probably seems feeble but I’m hoping the new code extends the high scores at least add a daily .My kids havnt been able to put they’re names up and this is concerning to me as it seems to bother them .Do it for the kids Keith!
Just reset your scores than. Also consider turning the auto reset down. It defaults to 2000 plays. You can turn it down real low and put initials in all the time.
If Stern goes the daily score route, I hope you can disable it. I get that it might be fun for newbs but I just find it annoying. I don't really know anyone who actually plays pinball that puts their real initials in there. It's always just AAAAAAAAAAA
Quoted from Gogdog:There is an auto reset of the high score tables that is ON by default? Do you know what the adjustment is called?
Yep.
Doesn't reset the GC, but will reset 1-4. I didn't know initially either. Had my scores reset on another pin and was mighty confused.

Quoted from Eskaybee:I say mess with them, that’s why the devs put them there in the first place. Pinball is meant to be tweaked to your liking. At least toy with it, see how you like it; if it becomes too easy, scale it back some and/or tweak some other settings to compensate. Have fun with it.
Speaking of, how are the lightning flippers treating you?
Quoted from djreddog:Anyone else using the exploit to blow the game up?
My best I've managed yet is to get ~3B out of Icarus. Didn't manage to get to 2MTM that game though. Of note, I had both revive lanes lit, and used them during the attempt, and it didn't stop the combo. Thought I saw someone mention that anything that has screen animations would cancel it, so that isn't entirely true. Although I don't believe the revive animations played.
Quoted from Thunder90:Yep. Orb does 10 million and gives 2x to power jackpot with I think 1million to power jackpot and increases ballsave. I don't go for any skill shot but the super jackpot one personally. Orb is a fun backup
Ok, this makes more sense.
By 2x I thought he meant playfield multiplier which would have been huge.
I will continue to try and plunge the outlane.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:-Hold left flipper
-Plunge to upper left flipper
-Hit mini loop
-Hit super skillshot (sjp) for instant 2x playfield multiplier.
(It was hinted to me that two mini loops then the super skill will award a 3x multiplier but im not that good)
Well ok then. That is beefy. Game on.
Plunging the outlane is still super fun.
Quoted from twenty84:The recently described bug that allows the timers to be stopped and huge scores to be built up in Flight of Icarus probably makes this game unsuitable for tournaments until the code is fixed.
Disagree.
The laundry list of games where if you don't do 'The Thing', you lose is long. Additionally, from trying to exploit this myself, I haven't been able to do anything too remarkable with it. Definitely points to be had. I think if you can't easily ski jump to safe cradle, the exploit isn't all that affective. So then, just a setup issue, which again, many tourney games require. I do think it should and will be fixed though.
Quoted from Bohdi:For those of you who already updated, did you go into your settings and make some mental notes of some of your current settings before you updated? I like how mine is set up other than the update I'll be doing tomorrow. Just like to know how I had a majority of it set before it all changes.
No.
Update. Set to Free Play. Enjoy... maybe adjust settings later.
Quoted from mollyspub:Is it possible to go back to a previous code after installing the new ?
Quoted from Bohdi:Any recommendations on what type and what size storage wise i need when purchasing a thumb/flash drive for my code update?
I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Glide-Drive-SDCZ60-032G-B35/dp/B007YX9O9E/
Quoted from delt31:Music isn't cracked yet so I'm still on 1.06
There's a post in the PBBrowser thread that says the new version can handle 1.08
New code is solid. I'm firmly on team running old code is stupid FWIW.
Quoted from Shredso:That noise really drives me nuts
Someone in here said they just thought of it as Eddie trying to get out of the cabinet and now that's all I ever think when I hear it and it makes me smile.
Found it:
Quoted from PinMonk:I just pretend it's Eddie in the cabinet trying to get out.
Quoted from Vitty:Lots of info on the alignment and it not making it. My questions is quite the contrary. Aligned like a dream. I'm thinking maybe coil stop or coil losing power. On a cold start of the game it makes it fine, but as time wears on it seems to get weaker and weaker probably as its temperature rises. Just speculating. Maybe its time for a new coil even..
I'm going to apologize. Sorry, having a dumb day, but it also turns out I'm the idiot. Really thought I was in the JP thread.
Quoted from ectobar:I wasn't feeling great about my 300mil Power JP club membership as I didn't remember joining. Like, I figured I'd still get invited to the parties and stuff but I was still kind of an outcast.
I hope there haven't been any 300 mil Power Jackpot Club parties recently. I haven't been able to renew my membership yet since the latest code update.
Quoted from billrz:Can anybody help, I’ve never had this issue on my machines before, my revive spinner doesn’t flatten out,it stays at an angle after spinning, refer to video . I’ve tried a couple things,and thought I had it,but it still just stays in this position majority of time?!
I'm guessing you need to bend it. Haven't had an issue on IMDN, but I had that happen on JM. Just had to carefully bend it until it sat flush again.
Quoted from PoMC:I'm going to work on an Iron Maiden instrumental version - all the same Maiden songs, just without vocals.
I would be interested in this. I don't mind the vocals, but I think I would prefer it without them.
It's not going anywhere. Personally, as of right now I don't find it all that exciting. However, my local spot has IMDN and GZ with the scanners, and people are eating it up.
Quoted from wtatumjr:Just one question, I can't backhand right flipper and make right ramp except for half way. Is this normal or should I adjust something?
Not backhandable on mine.
Quoted from Biju:Does anyone know if there is going to be a "real" code update in the near future?
Doubt anyone actually knows. I wouldn't expect any more substantial updates, but I guess you never know as they might to help the connected sales.
