Wow thats crappie and really messes up the flow .

Pathetic

Im not gonna make excuses for stern, but if you guys do really care about your GOTLE's having a left orbit, you'd follow this guys instructions. Just filter out all his posts in this thread and read from the most recent and work your way backwards. Pinside kicks ass for a reason.

Take the time to do this and you will be happy

Just played a pro today and hate to say this but I actually think the pro plays way better then the le; ohh and the left orbit screams on the pro too. Just add this to the list of les that have had something wrong with them.

Got LE was my first NIB pin. Guess the 'buyer beware' applies to NIB machines too. Maybe I'm wrong about this but wasn't there a comment (I think at open house or Expo?) during a video about how the game was played for hours and hours by someone? I think it was said in front of the GOT machine. How was this not caught and fixed at factory. Especially if your on the design or quality control team? This is really a statement being made by just washing their hands of this. Very disappointed.

I installed v1.29 on my GoT Premium just now to play around.

Here are my findings:

1. Left Orbit is disabled - by default, as expected
2. Default: Service > Adj > GoT > #6 - Disable Left Orbit = YES
3. With glass off, tossing ball by hand - in Martell mode - LEFT Orbit balls do go directly to the pop bumpers.
4. Interestingly enough, a few LEFT Orbit balls did get past the gate and reached the right flipper (~10%-20%).
5. With "Disable Left Orbit = NO", the LEFT Orbits behave same as in v1.26

Average Martell Score Test:

I compared Martell (only) scoring in both v1.26 & v1.29, with glass off:

Setup:

1. Spinner propped out of the way for convenience
2. Started a fresh 4 player game, each player selects Martell
3. Hit "Choose Your Battle" immediately, then select Martell
4. Hit 3 consecutive LEFT Orbits
5. Hit Center Ramp to complete the mode
6. Drain the ball

Results:

1. v1.26: 172M
2. v1.29: 187M - (Left Orbits Disabled)
3. v1.29: 172M - (Left Orbits Enabled)

I guess it makes sense that disabling the LEFT Orbit would increase the scoring as the POPS will provide additional scoring opportunities. I am happy to see scoring remains the same with left orbits enabled in v1.29 compared to v1.26.

Observations:

1. In both versions, the left orbit appears to be intentionally disabled for the 3rd Martell LEFT Orbit (i.e., gate closed)
2. I know for certain I have hit LEFT-LEFT-LEFT-CENTER to beat Martell in four quick shots, but I could only reproduce the 3rd LEFT Orbit few times manually just now
3. There may be some margin in my machine that permit a a nice solid shot to pass thru a closed gate! Guessing this is not "by design",

I'm gonna keep v1.29 installed, LEFT Orbits enabled!

It is not hard to make a free flowing game if there is hardly anything on it except ramps and orbits.

Yawn.
