As always, great job Travis! Collecting coffin items is another great example of great code. It is the one item that you cannot stack up like the other ones, but can double up on in lanes. It is also the only multiple ball where you can stack another multiball, which is so fun! Of course you and many other players know this, but it just shows the great code and strategies. By the way, I played a Metallica remastered the other day that was not set up Ideally. Drop targets would not drop. Round the world orbit shots would come around and hit slings. The Scoop shot was much more difficult than usual. It made the game haphazard and brutal, which was very unfortunate. Sometime if you could show a video of how a new in box game may need hardware tweaking to deliver the intended experience.
I'm in the situation David described around the improperly set up hardware -- my drop targets rarely drop, and most importantly, whenever I launch from the shooter, there's a column at the top-back of the playfield that pops up, so I never get the ball to go the left half of the playfield from launch; it always hits that column and then goes down the right side, which is very frustrating and is making me dislike this game greatly (despite being a lifelong Metallica fan). I'm only 3 weeks into my pinball journey (as you can tell me from calling those things that pop up columns -- I think that's the round-the-world problem David's mentioning), so any help would be much appreciated!
@@VarunKapoor1983 I tightened the springs on the drop targets (very easy- do not need to clip unless you don't like the look. For left orbit- adjust the metal left orbit side rail (has a couple of screws)- will have to remove a plastic or two... which reminds me I need to readjust mine again. Then the game will be a blast.
Love your guides Travis, good stuff! This was just added to the pinball league, love being able to stack multiballs
Thanks for the great vid

@@DavidVanderburgh Thanks so much for the thoughtful and detailed response, I'll try these fixes to see if they help!
@@DavidVanderburghYou have to bend the left orbit…..I don’t see adjustability using screws
