Not sure if this has been done before. The owners thread has a lot of good ideas regarding what would be a good code update.

Here is a poll/list of ideas, some are mine of course, that I remember seeing. Maybe Keefer or another programmer will see what the people want and include it in the next major update.

Ive never done a poll so not sure if you all can add things on your own. If so please do so. If not, mention them in comments and I’ll add them

#2 1 year ago

i dont see a chance to change the poll, so can you please add:
"Display actual Song Level during game"

Done. Thanks

I just wish knocking on heavens door was in the game.
Maybe an extra second to be able to read instructions up on the screen when a mode starts

#5 1 year ago

I Would love for them to add “I used to Love her” and Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”.also would like to see the text not cover up my pictures with slash when the game is over!

I just heard “I used to love her” today. Awesome song. Yesterdays is another good one

- Kill the pops when applause is lit.
- Stack slash solo with rest of the game.
- Add album scoring multipliers. (i.e. first album = 1x, second album mode = 2x, third album mode = 3x, final album mode = 4x).

Those are the big ones for me.

Yup, album scoring and slash solo scoring are waaaaay to low compared to song values. I usually trap up and wait it out on slash solo. Cool mode, scoring is just terribly low.

#9 1 year ago

Some neat options. I cast my votes!

Will be neat to see what people think.

#10 1 year ago

It’s not letting me add new poll options anymore. Not sure why.

Go ahead and add new suggestions in the comments, one suggestion per comment, and we can upvote the ones we like

#11 1 year ago

Been said many times before but a high score for jackpots LOST (or missed out on) to see just how painfully close you were in your "risk/reward" playing...

#12 1 year ago

I think I'd like to see rewards for combos in the game.

There are so many awesome combos that I was kind of surprised that I wasn't getting something in return for stringing together shots.

This is one of the most fun aspects of the game and you can get some serious flow happening. Making it part of the strategy is like adding another way to play the game, especially since there are so many different ways to combo shots.

Just sayin', combos could be called "riffs"...

1. A way to disable “Album Mode" just pressing and holding just once the Action button …. Not each ball for the whole game(and that can include to disable Slash Solo as well )

2. …(in my POV), 9 months ago it was fun to hear Melissa BS while choosing a patch, now I don’t mind to have the option on the menu to disable her phrases

Agreed, both great songs.

I wonder if JJP had to pay GnR per song? Or could they put in as many songs as they'd like to?

One would think they can pretty much do whatever since Slash and basically the whole band was involved in some aspect of the game.

Knockin on Heavens door isn’t their song so maybe some resistance there but I think it’s attainable if they were able to get live and let die from Sir Paul. Love GNR’s version of this song.

Used to love her should be a no brainer easy add.

#17 1 year ago

How about cutting back on the 5-6 ball multiballs?

Also, it seems to me there is a lot more to it and can't just say an "easy add"
Is there video from them doing used to love her on the lifetime tour?
Thats the first requirement... then how much game and light choreography & man hours of code to create, test?

#20 1 year ago

Pinmonk and the flipper ripper came up with a decent one…. A one time use applause jackpot patch that collects the applause jackpot when hitting the action button.

It is awarded when completing the Slash Solo. I love it.

It is so frustrating when end of song jackpot is lit and the ball is stuck in the pops. Just happened again last night with a 31 mill jackpot waiting and the ball just popped around until it was too late. Damn.

#22 1 year ago

I don’t think there needs to be a patch for “automatically collect applause jackpot” but a patch that adds 10-15 seconds to the jackpot timer would be awesome.

Both songs were played quite a bit on the tour there likely is the video for it and your correct, probably boils down to how much for JJP to code it in.

Yes or when I just killed a song, got to the applause jackpot and have 5 balls still going and they keep hitting each other while attempting to hit the scoop and then boom flippers die and no jackpot and all that hard work down the drain. I had ball stuck in pops and one stuck in guitar pick spinner during applause jackpot. So frustrating. I think something needs to be done like if you don’t hit the applause then you get half your jackpot at least.

There's a setting to make the multiballs harder to get. Easy to change that.

#27 1 year ago

There is a patch that says Light Special or something to that affect. I’ve yet to see it actually light anything. Seems like the special is at the right outlane.

Code update please to make the Special light up

#28 1 year ago

Anyone know if Keefer, Ted, or Joe are aware of this thread. Some real good feedback to bring this game to the finish line

#29 1 year ago

Knockin on Heavens Door is written by Bob Dylan. Probably not included due to royalty reasons.

#30 1 year ago

We got 21 songs .That’s 9-11 more than most music pins so let’s not scare them off from this thread .

#31 1 year ago
Quoted from Kkoss24:

I agree. More songs isn't the highest priority when we have 21 and there are other features we could use. I voted for displaying song value during regular play. No matter what I do I seem to start songs at around 70. Would love to see actual shots/jackpots show an increase of song level

I think something needs to be done like if you don’t hit the applause then you get half your jackpot at least.

I agree with this.

I think they need to balance out the applause jackpot vs. points earned during the song. It feels cheap to play through an entire song, actually keep more than 1 ball in play the whole time (essentially losing your opportunity to cash out), and then biff the applause jackpot shot or have it get hung up in the pops or guitar lock and get no shot all.

I get it.......I need to play better. But that aspect doesnt pull me back in for another game, it just pisses me off. It's not awarding good play. Instead it comes down to how lucky you are with the feed to the flipper when the applause jackpot lights.

#33 1 year ago
Quoted from Kkoss24:

100% agree, plus the huge stuff of Music Video and live footage.
I guess AXL would probably not have authorized this 10 years ago.
Also that McCartney has given his okay for Live and let die, is already noteworthy. Bob Dylan doesn't seem to be a pinball fan
Comparing with other licences (e.g. POTC by JJP) this pin offers more than any other of licence material.

and don´t forget the hidden egg movie of GnR Tour, which can be activated during Attract Mode by:
2 x right button,
7x left,
1 x right,
14 x left,
1 x right,
18 x left,
2 x right.

#34 1 year ago

I also wouldnt mind seeing a ball save setting for booster multiballs.

And it would be nice if they could leave the jackpot on the screen after a drain. I almost always miss what the final value was.

#36 1 year ago
Quoted from Sunsfan23:

What I changed on my game is to not allow additional balls to be earned during song modes. With add a ball turned off in song modes you get what you start with and that's it. Personally I think this setting change makes earning locks more interesting, and the song modes themselves are more enjoyable.

Joe already knows about this one and is going to do some change for it.

I was in the same boat .Watch some tutorials ,it’s all about what you do with the buildup modes (lights ,amps etc) and the patches you collect beforehand .It’s hard to get use to as it leads to some short games ,but who cares when it’s at home .

This happened to me tonight.

Thankfully the ball fell to my flipper and I one times it in for a 59m jackpot! Boom!

But it happens too often to not have it disabled. Or something.

#40 1 year ago

There won't be anymore songs guys. Can we just take that OFF the poll?

Think about the immense amount of work adding just a single song would take.

Also as much as Knocking On Heaven's Door is the biggest missing entity ever.... It won't ever happen as they don't own it.

There are like 21 songs people....

We 100% need to be able to disable slash solo. As well as balance scoring for albums and slash modes. They are never, ever worth playing. And that sucks bc they are fun for the most part. A reward like that should be worth big points. It's something you EARN so the points should correspond with that.

And slash solo isn't really even earned so please, for the love of all of the pinball gods please add ability to disable it.

Has anyone tagged @pinkeefer here yet?

I guess a workaround for the time being would be to significantly increase the number of spins needed to start Slash Solo in the settings

The thread title is “Wishlist”, the additional songs are just that.

As for them not owning Knocking on Heavens Door, they didn’t own live and let die and all it took was a phone call from Slash to Sir Paul to make it happen.

Anything is possible

I have often thought this but never gone in and done it. I've actually forced myself to play it more often recently and can get through it most of the time. But the points are pathetic. Balance it, ability to disable it. Make it a REAL DECISION whether you want to or not.

True. But.... Word is the KOHD camp does not want to. Slash and Sir Paul have been buddies forever. Live and Let Die was an automatic. Plus it's one of the best light shows in the game.

But... We can definitely keep wishing and hoping.

#45 1 year ago

Another song choice for the lies patch would be great... one in a million i think is the best song on that release but that will never happen. Jackpots are a million a pop off the bat, which would be a nice touch.

Not sure why so much interest in getting kohd over a gnr original. Yesterdays, locomotive, break down... all better songs on UYI 2. The garden, garden of Eden on UYI 1.

Spaghetti incident has much better gnr covers than kohd... hair of the dog, down on the farm. Kohd is too played out albeit still a good cover.

Its a music pin so yeah why not more songs.

#46 1 year ago

Talk about stern doing micro transactions. Would you all be willing to pay for another song

Quoted from chet218:

I truly believe that paying for code updates is the future. Not bug fixes, but major enhancements to gameplay. It’s unfortunate but I think everyone can see that there is money being left on the table by the companies. It’s just going to come down to who will be the first manufacturer to charge a fee and be willing to take the heat until the next company follows suit.

But yea I would pay money for new songs

#48 1 year ago

With the $1k+ price increases, we pay more than enough. The songs are the ones that Slash wanted in the pin that were played on tour. There won't be any more additional songs added. I think this pin has more songs and song modes than any other pin. They already went above and beyond.

Yes, I wouldn't mind having a couple more songs that I know, but it's great as is.

Add a short 2-3 second ball saver anytime a new ball in plunged or is released from guitar lock. Too much inconsistency resulting in SDTM

You may be the only person they thinks that about kohd.

Doesn't make it wrong. Just not popular. Hahaha

And there won't be more songs. It is too much work.

It's been repeatedly started by jjp.
