for those needing more infos on the gameplay, or just how to play it, we will try to do our best & show you...
tomorrow saturday 4PM (BRUXELLES, GMT+1), live stream from my house...

channel : https://www.twitch.tv/soireeflip

and after available on : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD4Xe-cQ7J5kRgM-vZxCaZw

nice score, even if now its quite impossible to compare each others, as with mode set-up available, GB is going from too easy (mode continous+time ON, factory settings) to still quite hard (mode continous+time OFF)

"harold" was the code name at STERN for GB...

6000€ ...

yep, finally some nice & quite various strategies in this game

just got a marshmallow mode going with in X3 starting shoot, that was 150.000.000 per shoot than ... according to your stragegy and having the PF in X6, this would have become some +/- 1B shoots in the mode

...

for those who're playing in DUO, its very fun now about the mass hysteria, as in fact it should be more easy while controlling only 1 flipper each, but its a complete mess all over, pure fun, laugh & adrenaline (tanx my son for these nice shared moments)

how was the slope ? even more when playing in a league !?
when i do that on mine, ball didnt go higher than the mid right slingshot...

no, as said...

got it, its in, its when you're finishing the 3rd ladder
and for what we've read from the begining, the big (big) wizard mode should be ARE YOU A GOD... !?

thats why evbd must change the factory settings, in this case the mode mission timer to OFF, else its indeed way to easy : start a mode, keep the ball on a flipper and wait... this is not playing pinball :/

dont drill your PF !
as said above, or you choose to go for the lane protection with the center post, or you choose the "carrot" flippers (which i did), its only few millimeters greater, just enough/perfect to make the game "playable/enjoyable" for evbd

well, as seen on pic, that also means that each shots (!) climbing or not the ramp, its touching the plastic... !? not good than !

i see 3 easy fix :

- as said above, upper the plastic on screw, no matter how
- re drill the holes (in line) to than have some adjusting possibilities (in this case plastic should be set a bit more near to the apron)
- lime (just a few) the plastic, just the place behind/above the the ramp

nice of course
but ALL DEFAULTS is not good if you're a good player already
its too easy with the mode (timer) being completed even if you just keep the ball on a flipper and wait for the timer to reach 0... this have to be change for sure

pics somewhere ?

well, than i'm not crazy, as for what i remember, didnt found fuse on my 1st GB (also very first runs)
will check asap my 2nd one...

well, scoring that is not only luck, than you're a good player (and my previous com was positive of course)

right, but it remains easy to just make a switch
right again about collecting points in mode, lets admit the aim in this case is to avoid playing hard/dangerous ones to reach easier the wizard...

and even not sure as long time not put my hands in the setup but i think we can bypass that chrono being stop

bah

you're just few monthes late guys...
all this, and much more, already listed in the 1.13 (and also few numbers before) topic talks incl feedback/bug/ideas

the sound is too low, hoping Dwight make it louder
about red lights in the outlanes : the 2 are off, flippers are normal, the 2 are blinking, meaning beware, flippers are inverted

and even better : a possible set-up in the menu, about inverted flippers, with 3 choices :

- factory settings : as now, invertion going on & off
- no inversion
- full inversion : flipper are inverted during all the multiball

1. assuming that WARTBY is not the same than AYAG (for Dwight i mean), than no, its still not in

2. without the gate being active ? than its not logical

3. time mode to OFF (its ON from factory); and if you like it more brutal, remove the gate at the right lane at the bumpers exit

4. well, ghosting is ghosting, what you have said will not make the ghosting "better"

not sure if you said it before, but how much games on this pin ?
as it looks quite "damaged" already... :/

in the other way, its a bit pity that "new owners" didnt search or just read previous pages (even if i know, its already page 56 here)
as most of the last probs related are not new and already debated more than few times

see, i was interested in (and than bought it) an Avengers, than i've read all his "club" topic, because i know it would be usefull for me

but OK...

and i was one of these guys as i was more than active in some GB threads, including code update... (btw, of course +1 with what Art said about you)
btw, its not my com was negative to just be negative (even more when i'm NOT natural english native, and also far from being perfect in that language) but more to people do a simple search by themself instead of having this easy reflex to ask evbd for the probs they have in front of them

in the same idea not sure if the "dick" joke is a... joke !?

meanwhile, for those not liking what i wrote, without knowing me, than feel free to add some more negative thumbs if this makes you feel better

have a nice day, and of course enjoy GB

same here, didnt noticed real difference while moving post (its now at medium settings, with small rubbers on the metal lane)
the Yoyo mods are nice (for having playtested the 1st version, it even close too much, think the new/actual version must just be perfect now)

...

and about cabs being "broken" as it at the angle, i just cant understand that on new pins !?
OK about reinforcement, but what seems better & logical in your case is just a swap with a new cab !

anyway good luck with these :/

rumors are rumors...
and facts are facts ! Dwight clearly said, to some of us, that GB is now done, simple as that
btw, i'm also with the most of us hopping he will bring on his "home/freetime" to give us more, but...

if you're a (very) good player (with mind easily linked to code), you should see few things you will not like...
if you're just casual, you will surelly never notice what we are refering about...

than game is to easy for you, or the factory set-up is to easy !
not sure how is yours (moded with carrot flippers, and/or center post, or just nothing)
but what should be change is the time out mode (n° 50) and/or mode continue (n° 51)
(the n° 43 to pause the timer is not really a prob, just control the ball on a flipper (no matter right or left) and do an easy shoot, as the right lane, to activate the timer again, and so on...)

here home, to change our way of playing with my son, just go back to factory settings, and for sure its a nonsense :

ball 1 : going for the right ladder, WBTD started & played & finished normally... the last shoot in the right lane directly launch SPOOK CENTRAL, didnt finished it, than have to relight the ladder with the slimer... than start GOOZER, few shoots to make value bigger, and than i lose the ball

ball 2 : going for the right ladder as the skillshot, than i'm (already !!!) at the MARSHMALLOW... play it (its time to get some points lol), and as often its also when all is going to light quite in the same time : start STORAGE FACTORY, complete MM, start WCWS, start PKE, and finally start MASS HYSTERIA... from last time i've check points at 800M, i'm now at 4B...

ball 3 + 2 EB : just play as it (not gone to WARTBY)... with 3 skillshots, and even more some luck with a "+10%" of the score in the mystery, game ended with 8.9B

funny, but in fact not really
but of course evbd set-up the game how he feels/likes it and its a good thing to have these options available of course
all this said, enjoy GB !

seen it too if course... wanted to reply to Jared directly on facebook, but...
and than, Jared, do you know more things than even Dwight ignore ?
must admit its really confusing

my GB could leave soon, but i admit that one more time i'm really asking myself to know what to do (just wait again ?)

if i remember well its 3 scenes and 50 ghosts (not 15)

of course
but my son didnt do it, still playing (and playing well of course) without crossing hands... !!!
to me i just cant as it, my brain is to old, coordination is fragmented lol

asked from time to D.
mainly 3 options would be very nice :

1. factory setting : as now
2. no flipper change at all
3. flipper change, and remain as it during all the MHMB, than back to normal when it ends

wrong...

you increase them only with the GOOZER target, and the multiplicators are changing while hittings the bumpers

also in the wish-list from time...

of course its just "personal" taste, for me here at home i would choose setting 3... like in TSPP

nice score

and than again on GB, the PF multiplier is "the" key, and it makes the scores so unbalanced, but OK in a another way it could be so tactical
my son had a similar games as yours (200+ ghosts, 2 MH, 2 ladders completed ... from what i remember), and scores "only" the 1/2 of your points

and just another game to prove that GB is quite unbalanced on how its scoring...
or may be just to confirm what we're saying in tournament : pinball is a 1 ball game...

ok than,

ball 1 : 155.000 pts (quite hard to score less than that)
ball 2 : something in the 500.000 pts ... misery continues lol
ball 3 (+EB) : i got quite all, only BACK OFF MAN missing to get the big wizard, finishing my game at +8B (and again i didnt "think/play" with the PF multiplier, that's for sure my biggest prob on this game)

finally, games like that are making GB even more fun

and than, i only have a single question : the left, or the right !?

good point ! its correct ! thats the left one !

i know it, as in fact i've tried to touch the right few days ago, and...

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/01_01/Hero3CP_468x606.jpg

another great game in term of play, but again misery in term of points (absolute no PF multiplier done in this game)

reach/played WARTBY (including a funny/hard/crazy 2nd MASS HYSTERIA in it !!!), and than ending with only 4.6B...

my pic from my GB
must say i'm still with these, working OK for sure
may be if you'll go for this, dont cut the ring as me, better remove the steel lane and insert properly the rings...
and sorry cant say what size these are, i had a full stock of various sides

now, about the Yoyo mods, its good too
he's here on pinside and could told more about it... PM him may be

PS : btw, this was my 1st GB, the one with ghosting & clearcoat probs
and you can see the clearcoat bad quality at the plot at the outlanes, with the circle marked in it

i have to correct about the Yoyo mods :

i was a betatester for the version 1, and yes those were too long and close outlanes way too much...
these last ones are shorter and seems OK (? i have not tried them !)

again, ask Yoyo
(and i will point him here)

(yes, its frustrating)

but again, depending on how you have set-up the pin, it goes from too easy to too hard...
on "factory", dont need to make all the needeed shots to finish/complete a mission, only make a switch time to time (to relaunch stopped timer) and wait for timer to reach 0... that's bad (and to easy) for sure :/

well, i was quite "involved" in new code & ideas hope...

tomorrow, the GB will (should be) leave the house for a new home, think its enough for me
but as always, and just to make the universal law wrong, be sure a new code will be available right after my GB will be out !!!

lol

+1
lesson learned

ok if you're lucky enough to own lots of games...
i have only 2 pins home, than i cant see it as it

asta la vista... let's say bye-bye to this club

no more patience for me
now, i hope you guys still get a code update in a near future, as GB deserve it, its something very special and not common in pinball history

gb (resized).JPG

as Art said

the guy who bought my GB takes it mainly because he knows i've got no ghosting & no clearcoat probs (after +/- 1 year at home)... simple as that
may be control quality has change at STERN, but seems a NIB remains a lotery

and aim these targets with a reverse shoot, its near 100% working (and safe) as it
as yes, a direct hit is often a pain...

will say it for the last time on this topic (as some didnt read old posts) : i had some private talks with Dwight here, and he said about 1.13 as i was asking for more :

until he gets some own freetime to work on it, GB must be considered as DONE

but OK, we never know, and hope remain alive (to me, i have sold the GB... )

didnt remember, n° 51 & 52 i think
and you're right, way too easy now from factory

why !?
seems quite logical and not a real prob

also do not forget MARSHMALLOW multipliers... hard to master and get them, but these + the PF X2X3 will explode yours scores

yes

yes & yes

and than, you have the 4 multipliers ready to X1...
before "choosing" with 1 of the 4 main shoots, you can increase these shoots (1 at the time) with the GOOZER target, while the bumpers are changing the lane/multipliers is going to be increase, and this with no limit of course UNTIL you did not make a main shoot starting stay puft

easy to understand, quite hard to achieve
good luck

yep i know
we're players here, and it takes more than some time to understand...

go for it now, a real trick as aiming for goozer without making one of the (unwanted) main shoot is not easy

heu... for what i remember, bonus multipliers goes to X20 maximum...

yep, i bit disapointing with your WM
we've done a bit longer here, as after main shoots done, you have to lock 2 balls on the 2 scoops...

he's here :

37 loops on GB

not sure this could be quite high, but for what i remember, never did that on mine when i get the pin home...
just found a GB near my house in an arcade, it's than all from factory (5 balls, code 1.11), including airballs (above the outlanes, oh dear), and big gap
the left scoop is exiting the ball quite always STDM, you have to "slide" the machine, which for sure blow a warning... luckily, there're a lot of EB on this pin, same about ball saver...

even with that, with 1 coin, get 11 credits and put a 5.5B score on it, high is 5.7B, but mostly i hit 37 loops
