I say, forget this family friendly bs. When toddlers can afford to purchase a $7k pin, then we can cater to them.

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

WTH! Lol. Another fail. Nothing ruins the fantasy like moustache snd unabrow on a chick. Give her some hairy pits while you're st it, AP.

She's probably packin a dunkel under her skirt too.

All the animations need is more beer and jugs....errr....mugs.

Quoted from benheck:

There's no depth to any of this art, that's why it looks flat.
Here's a simple mockup. The beer is closer to the camera, which makes it look more inviting. Like "Here, have a beer!" not "I'm holding this beer against my nipple!"
Give it a slight tilt. Shade around the beer to show it's clearly in front of the subject. I also adjusted the arm so it looks more like the forearm is pointing forward (like the photo of the woman above) which then makes the angle of the fist make sense.
[quoted image]

I don't see the original wrist thing, but what immediately popped on yours wad the level beer in the tilted mug.

Only played it once at Pinfest. Wanted to play more but ball times were so long, it felt like forever waiting in line.

Quoted from 27dnast:

It’s the part of the game that feels sluggish to me. I think I’d like the excitement factor of randomness.

That is the only thing holding me back from buying one without getting some games on it first. Not sure if I'd like having to pause and flip through screens during play.

I love the look and layout of the game.

Joined the club this weekend. Struggling to hit the upper ramp. Think I only locked one ball in the keg.

Quoted from Pizzaman13:

It’ll come to you. Just takes a little getting used to. Also good to make sure that the play field is waxed nicely. Every little bit of speed up that ramp helps.
Enjoy the game!

What is the coil stop fix I saw a few posts about? Can I get that from AP?

#4804 2 years ago

Will check. Thanks.

#4806 2 years ago

I'll check it out. Thanks. I was doing some manual drop in the lane practice flips. I'm pitched at 6.5, so I'll go to 6 and see what that does.

#4808 2 years ago

Mine is the old style but just played a quick game and nailed the upper ramp three times.

#4813 2 years ago

Where is the setting to change how many high scores it keeps? Think mine is on like 15 right now. Would like to knock about ten off that.

Quoted from Wizkid93:

I just put a deposit down for an Oktoberfest, it'll be my first NIB pinball and I'm absolutely excited it was an American one.
Admired the game for several years, now all I have to do is find ducks to mod in the bumper cars!
Cheers Gentlemen!

It's a great game. So glad I picked one up.

Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

Awesome explanation, thank you so much. Now I see why I scored so high. I changed my strategy and decided to focus on calories instead of tents. Plus I did have some freakshow rooster steins. I also happened to have a ball cradled on my right flipper when the other ball drained, so it was an easy shot.

Thought I would change up my usual strategy and try for food. I'm choosing the tap it tent which I usually don't do. Man do I stink at pouring beers.

Quoted from rockrand:

Best way to hit the scoop is a left orbit and hold up upper right flipper and the ball will go into the scoop every time!
Very fun shot!

You serious Clark?
I'll have to try that.

What is everyone doing for preventing balls jumping the rail and getting stuck from the beer barrell ramp shot?

#4975 1 year ago
Quoted from E_Gpinball:

I created a 3d printable part to solve that exact problem. It works 100%. If the ball jumps the habitrail, it will simply fall back onto the main playfield rather than get stuck.

Mine doesn't jump there, it falls off after the yellow ramp switches back to the habitrail...like this...
