That’s fresh! Still has a corner board stuck to the front.

Or did you

Ok so I complained and my Mando rewarded me broke 500B and got to precious cargo which was awesome!

LMAO

Excellent Job!

FYI : Disney recently decicided to rename the Slave 1 as Firespray:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/boba-fett-ship-slave-i-new-name/amp/

But it will stay the Slave 1 for most of us.

No they didn’t! Like all of Disney’s stupid woke decisions I pretend they never happened

Okay I’ll bite and answer.

A lot of the NIB sales are from speculators/scalpers who thought this would be the next TRON LE because it was Star Wars.

Other sales are always the same as every other release, newest game is brought a couple dozen or couple hundred plays later the next new title is revealed and they sell up for the newest release, happens every release.

As for the game itself, it’s fantastic, I prefer the LE/Prem because of the up/down 180 ramp shot that thing is just fun and both shots are great! Flow is great once you get it going and the foundry/beskar RPG element to the game is awesome!

My only real gripes are the upper playfield isn’t as good as it could have been and the child magnet above the rollovers is just a dump idea and complete waste - why randomise an area that’s already pretty random? But everything else makes up for those two gripes of mine and the upper playfield is still interesting and fun the only real negative is the magnet/child I mentioned above everything else is brilliant!

Now add Luke Dwight and his Mando S2 scene and this will be a keeper!!

I agree, the design really compliments the theme and integration of all the assets. I love the way a lot of shots are close to the player which makes the game feel very intense, but there are still some longer sweeping shots. The upper playfield (premium/LE) is fun and really gets the adrenaline going.

One thing that definitely needs attention is the use of the upper post. As has already been commented, a clean right orbit shot just rebounds and comes back down. Apart from that it seems to be up the majority of the time during the game even when CHILD insert is not lit. PLEASE code team reduce the amount of time this post is up or at least some kind of option to reduce it. It doesn't work well as designed, and even when it does work that area is boring. It's fine to have it in play during the plunge, or at other times, but other than, limiting it will unleash the flow of the game.

Final point, a ball save timer for when a CHILD rollover is triggered would be helpful to stop those SDTM drains.

I'm sure Godzilla will be a great monster game!

Nerd warning: Boba Fett’s ship was always a Firespray. Firespray is the name of the ship model, like how Mustang is a car model from Ford. Slave 1 is the name he personally gave his ship.

When CHILD is lit the callout says 'shoot the left orbit' but both left and right are lit, could be a bug?

I still haven't even played it but it sounds like it could use some code "voodoo" like Batman 66 has, where the ball lock diverter flap is very responsive to the game state and even seems to anticipate orbit shots when you use the opposite flipper. I've never taken the time to figure out how exactly that works but it seems like a similar problem with the up-post on Mando. I've never had a "damnit that diverter shouldn't have been up" moment on BM66.

EDIT: is it truly an up post, or is it a down post? That is, what's the de-energized state? Asking in case it's actually a down post and there are electrical reasons it can't be (energized) down more often.

Good point about Batman! "Damnit I wish that post wouldn't have been up" moments are normal on Mando, at least at the moment on 0.97 code.

I believe it's a up post, because when it's disabled in the settings it stays down. The game is a lot of more fun when it's disabled as there is less stop/go by the diversion into the CHILD area. Also my scores seem to be higher but this could be just a coincidence.

It also sometimes says "shoot the right orbit ". Maybe based oh where the machine thinks the ball is currently (based on switch actuation).

Lots of comments about code fixes...

Completely uninformed speculation....they wait until the next release is ready with the insider connected features. That has probably caused a bit of a delay...

ZERO REGERTS

Not even one letter? Haha

New to the club, trying to learn this game. What is the best usage for the flamethrower?

I try to get a mission started, then start a miltiball and hold the flamethrower as the multi ball starts

Great advice! I had no idea. I have mine coming next month so I can't wait to get time on it. I've never modded a game before so would love to hear if any of the mods out there for Mando are more impactful than others, or if they're all just personal preference.

Deffo a bug !

The most productive use of the flamethrower is when you have multiple shots lit that are worth something as the flamethrower will then make those shots worth double.
I believe this is also true if you have a jackpot shot lit which would then double the jackpot.
Not sure if it stacks with the multipliers tho as haven’t yet got that far into the code

Last night I enjoyed playing 2-3 player co-op games by myself.

I LOVE playing 4-player co-op by myself on this game so I can keep getting deeper into the modes. All the new player options (co-op/impossible/etc) are the greatest additions to pinball in years if you ask me.

Didn't know you're supposed to hold it. Will try!

Protector is a shit ! But it can offer you the chance to know better than before possible issues, how a mech work and to test your limit . It’s a real challenge sometimes. Thx Stern

Don’t forget to put washers under the ambush scoop mech or it will dig into the protector and get stuck

Ok thx

Didn’t realise people where still putting these on.

Dwight added a cool visual cue to know when all shots have been “hit” by the flamethrower - at least when you are in a multi ball. The blinking ball save light will go solid while the flame thrower is active and go back to blinking when you can let go of the action button.

Dwight is great at visuals and a lot of the time the frame work of his code is superb, I think Mando might be his best, the flamethrower is brilliant theme integration on a code level and the foundry RPG elements are very fresh and fun.

I just wish he would follow through with the polish that always seems to be lacking with his games, not sure if it’s timeframes Stern impose on him but when other coders are polishing their games to a shine why can’t Dwight?

I have been attempting to get to This is the Way on co-op. I play 4 person. Encounters is always hardest to get through. However maybe it is a error but seems if I get through all encounters it stays lit til the next game. Then the next. Green and Yellow reset. Red doesnt until I have lit This is the Way. Still have not actually played it.

I had done the same thing. Only got to this is the way once on my last ball and it didn’t last very long. I find that the encounters in co-op play sometimes repeat. I have had to repeat encounter 3 level 3 a few times before it registers.

Every player gets a chance to play the wizards. Every one has to complete to move along on that player. I just want to see it lol

The drain hole area of the Premium/LE playfield protector is kind of off I found, does not fit the hole properly. Did you experience that? I ended up putting mylar on the drain hole and a cliffy on top of the leading edge.

Others have...The mini playfield has a protector as well. It's a ton of work we'll see if it was worth it sometime in the future.

PP Overall Final Look (resized).jpg

It's a really really nice touch to see some of the concept arts from Christian Alzmann and Ryan Church in the attract mode. And in some way, Cara Dune is in the game...

20210919_211220(0).jpg20210920_075410.jpg

If we can alter the code through pinball browser I would like to see a lot more of Cara Dune, loved her character and the fact Disney keep trying to push strong women as an agenda it’s ridiculous they removed her character.

Plus they don’t come much stronger or tougher than Gina, regardless of her political views she an actress playing a character that’s all that should be considered.

Nice idea. I would like to change the foundry call out of "Welcome to the foundry! Use it wisely!!". I cringe at how cheesey that sounds...

Why does everyone care so much about whether or not angry Rosie O'Donnell is in the game.

I would like to change some videos like that one form the foundry, it seems so poor quality in the dark areas. Aslo would like to replace the extra ball scene with the one where luke enters. I love seeing luke, they say he's in the game but I have not reached that point.

I was surprised on how poor the quality on the video was. Hopefully they will fix it with higher quality/better compression.

The video quality throughout the whole game is quite poor, all the dark scenes show this up.

I'm waiting for the next code update before making any changes to the videos.

That’s weird because when people stream Mando using a direct video feed for the video assets the video quality looks great.

I wonder if the problem is the actual LCD display or how the gamma is calibrated?

Not to sound facetious... but how is the skill shot in any way relying on skill?

First on my machine it's sheer luck if the ball is diverted from the upper post into the CHILD area, or just rebounds off the post and down the right orbit. Second it then has to fall over one of the rapidly flashing CHILD lights. It's a poor implementation and skill has nothing to do with it.

Is there any chance the post can be fixed by a code update? Also what about the centre shot fouling on the left plastic? I can't believe some of these issues didn't get picked up in the first 5 minutes of play testing.

Also looking for an option to keep the upper post down during an auto-plunge, just to keep play going.
