Man I can't wait to get on my GOT to try this before Dwight fixes it. Haha.
I think there's another bug in the WHC + BFW super stack too. It seems if you can keep a ball in the pops, the ball saver never goes away.
Quoted from Eskaybee:I think there's another bug in the WHC + BFW super stack too. It seems if you can keep a ball in the pops, the ball saver never goes away.
Yeah the ball saver seems very long during that but I just assumed it combined the two MBs ball savers so it gave you the better part of a minute to flip away. Plus I feel like I get the add a ball from the pops almost every time I do the super stack.

I love it, hope it doesnt get nerfed too bad cause you sacrafice other elements of the game to pull off the super stack.
Quoted from Eskaybee:I love it, hope it doesnt get nerfed too bad cause you sacrafice other elements of the game to pull off the super stack.
Yeah I mean I don't see why that would need to be nerfed. I mean I had one for over 2 billion, but I got like 5 SJPs at least from WMB, and made it to at least the 2 or third level of WHC. That on top of the weird, risky route you have to take getting there, I think that area of the game is fine.
Keith should have totally pulled out a Mic out of his pocket, dropped it on the pin, let his ball drain, and walk away.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Not to exceed 5 million base value of the stark bonus round shots? Yeah, definitely a bug. It gives you 193,100,000 base value for those shots after you collect the SJPHU.
I explained how to do it during the broadcast of the finals when Bowen was playing got.
Quoted from sk8ball:I explained how to do it during the broadcast of the finals when Bowen was playing got.
Cool. Thanks for chiming in on that. And then showing us later haha. That was nuts.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Holy shit KME just destroyed the GOT at PAPA Circuit finals and got 17 billion after ball two. Haha. He had a 15 plus billion HOTK mode. He somehow was getting 2-3 billion per shot during the stark bonus rounds after he got his first hurry up. I think he got two hurry ups in the same HOTK MB. It was crazy to see.
This was all after basically draining on purpose on ball one to have add a ball for HOTK.
Great job Keith! Congrats!
It was the Red Wedding of pinball. Well played, Keith. Well played.
Yeah, Keith said on the broadcast that when you get to your 3rd round of Stark 20 second time, the shots are all multiplied by a factor of 10.
I found a bug for sure last night. I got the whc/wmb super stack. As i drained down to one ball i shot the right orbit and it was lit for mystery, so the ball went up to the throne. Then I was like oh snap, i haven't used my add a ball. So I hit the button and it then showed me both totals for whc and wmb. I'm thinking i was too late on my add a ball. Then it accepted the add a ball and started the stack all over again. I played the stack again for a long time and when i drained down to one ball, it showed me totals AGAIN for whc and wmb. Pretty cool but quite strange.
Quoted from twisty4678:Really enjoying my GOT pro. Does anyone have a list of modifications that should be done to protect the game fully? I plan on doing shooter lane protection and Mylar around flipper buttons, but am I missing anything? Thanks!
Any input on this question? Thanks!
I added mylar to the bare sheet metal behind the upper playfield, where the ball hits, lands and then runs down the ramp. Hopefully this will help minimize metal shavings I was seeing early on.
Quoted from twisty4678:Any input on this question? Thanks!
I replaced all the balls with oooo shiny balls from PBL. I put Mylar in the shooter lane and at the ball trough hole. I put silicone rings on the whole game from Titan. I also put plastic protectors on it. That's it for my game.

Did that day one and have had no shavings
I have a theory that perhaps the PAPA circuit finals game was not on the latest code anyway.
https://www.twitch.tv/papatvpinball/v/59008075?t=03h39m09s - Keith gets the LoL from the drops.
https://www.twitch.tv/papatvpinball/v/59008075?t=03h44m50s - LoL gets used, but very shortly gets re-lit from the drops.
I understand that in the latest code, one LoL from the drops per game is the default. Now I do know that you can change that setting in the operator menu, but I highly doubt it would intentionally be turned on an easier setting for a tournament among the top players in the world. The only other explanation is that it's the default behavior on earlier code -- and perhaps, just perhaps, it's a non-reproducable bug on 1.26. This is just speculation, and I could be proven wrong.

I can test it with the glass off, but I'm almost positive it's still there in 1.26. I agree with you though that they were playing old code yesterday.
If so I wonder if that was done to intentionally make it harder to get right loop shots to register during MBs

No way. But I guess anything's possible.

Wonderful, thanks for the input. Already replaced the balls. Ordered some sheets of Mylar so will be hitting up the shooter lane next. In addition to the metal plate on the right side where the ball hits. Only have a pro so don't have to worry about the metal behind the upper playfield!
Quoted from bellbrand:I am so tempted by this game but I don't know if I am willing to part with TWD yet..
That's a tuffy right there.
Quoted from bellbrand:I am so tempted by this game but I don't know if I am willing to part with TWD yet..
Tough decision. How have you been liking TWD? Do you have my sound package in?
Id stay clear of a GOT PREM to be honest. GOT in general is a different kind of shooter - simple, but effective and fun. I think Dwights code really makes this game a winner but he still has a lot of work to do to get it polished and refined. It's definitely a shooters and thinkers pin - not much on the surface, but watch out when you start peeling the onion. I can see my GOT sticking around a long time but I have 1 or 2 other pins coming in so don't know if I'd feel that way if it was the only pin I had for life - but I've been loving it in a solo collection so far.
I think TWD is a great game but there are some nuances that rattled my brain to sell it. I may pick up a pro down the road but I have 3 or 4 other pins I'd rather get first.
Have you thought about GB PRO or PREMIUM yet? Hopefully we see GBLE gameplay soon.
Quoted from bellbrand:I am liking TWD but I am thinking I might enjoy the pro better. The bicycle girl ramp and crossbow don't do a thing for me. I would miss the RGB lighting and the extra mag, spinner and drop. I still have your sound package and love it. The rules kick butt. GB looks fun also.
You're not gonna hate TWD Pro at all. Great great game.
Hold off on getting the mezel ram for now folks. Mine busted on the side after 10 plays. I cannot upload pics at the moment. I'll get one up soon.
Edit: it appears I put the ram cover on backwards. I will report back after I fix it and play a bunch of games with it correctly installed.

Its on its way to me already
But, backwards? Is not the head supposed to be smashing into the "gate"?
Quoted from Edenecho:Its on its way to me already

Haha. Yeah yeah really funny. The cover is one piece and the head is another piece. I put the cover on backwards. There is a tapered end on the cover. Make sure that is the end facing the player.

Dang mine is on backwards too I guess. I assumed the tapered end was supposed to face the backbox and was there to give the Ram horns a little bit of extra clearance. Thanks for the heads up, UG now I have to deal with those black spacers again FML.

What happens when you bring five houses into HOTK instead of four when it comes to effects on gameplay? Previously, I thought it applied all five effects even though it only calls out four at the start because when I've done it Martell wasn't listed yet I still have had to shoot each shot twice. But after seeing the bug where Keith had the martell effect without having completed the martell mode, that may have been a similar bug. If all five houses do count, then the broadcasters are wrong about Keith playing the best configuration of HOTK - the best would be Stark, Lan, GJ, Tyrell AND Targ
Yeah I am not sure about that either. Since is such a weird situation as you have to have 3 complete, bring two into MB and complete them both, I bet stern didn't think about that situation in the coding. I'm also not sure how the game decides which 4 houses powers to display when you have 5 houses completed.

Keith was playing as House Martell but if you re-watch the broadcast you will notice he never played that mode. In order to bring a house into HOTK, you must beat their mode (solid lit)
Quoted from chuckwurt:I bet stern didn't think about that situation in the coding.
I bet they did. Remember it would only happen if the 2 houses were completed on the same single shot.
This is funny because we've talked aboot this for weeks yet neither of us have tested it
Quoted from TheLaw:I bet they did. Remember it would only happen if the 2 houses were completed on the same single shot.

I'm guessing it wouldn't require the single shot to complete both houses if you are in a MB. Sounds like something fun to try and test though.

I don't know how to take off the glass. Didn't know about the same single shot deal either. if it's not the same single shot what happens? Does the other mode just end automatically?

Quoted from chuckwurt:Didn't know about the same single shot deal either. if it's not the same single shot what happens? Does the other mode just end automatically?
Well my point is one house will always be "completed" first, unless it's a single shot...so probably (Assuming!) the first house completed would be the 4th house in HOTK.
But yes...let's try this this weekend.

if the 4th and 5th house are completed at the same time with the same shot, it goes in order of the lights on the playfield:
Targaryen
Stark
Baratheon
Lannister
Greyjoy
Tyrell
Martell

I know. That was a key point to my question

The way I've always done it is to compete houses four and five during a mb as suggested above

Can confirm. I usually play as Martell, and whenever I manage to get a 5 house HOTK, that's usually the one that's always excluded. I think if you're clever enough to intentionally pull this off, you should get 5 houses' benefits.

So are you saying that when this happens the Martell effect isn't active in HOTK (each shot twice) or it's just the one not flashed on the screen at mode start?
Quoted from chuckwurt:Haha. Yeah yeah really funny. The cover is one piece and the head is another piece. I put the cover on backwards. There is a tapered end on the cover. Make sure that is the end facing the player.
Just got mine and installing now. Anyone else do this on a premium/LE? Can't figure out if I need to remove the mini playfield... Have the ram assembled, but getting it back in there looks impossible.
Edit... Ah, they must've recently changed instructions on their page or I didn't see the premium steps...
