So the lamp to the right of Grogu’s head was loose when it came from the factory and kept going in and out. Tried pushing it back in, it slipped and fell back behind him. Got the flashlight out and shined it around back there. Nada. Tried the stick magnet. Nope. Shake it around a little bit, nothing falls out. So I grab the bag of spare bulbs.

Now there are 3 bulbs back there and an empty socket where the loose one used to be. 20+ games since then and still waiting for one or more of them to make an appearance.

Anyway if you have ham hands like me, go grab a shooter rod rubber instead of trying to fiddle it in there with your fingers. It’s not worth it. lol

I thought that might look good, which is why one of the three bulbs stuck in the back of my game was a green one.

You could put R2D2 there!

Meanwhile, bulb #1 has reappeared at the most inconvenient of times:

Obviously the topper is going to be an animated mechanical Child in his floating crib, because you'd think a moving Grogu mech would be a given in this game but obviously there was nowhere on the playfield for such a contraption.

What’s Madness Multiball?

Dank Ferric is a separate mode. Madness Multiball does absolutely nothing right now except start a 3-ball multiball with no jackpots, animations, etc. unless I’m missing something.

So I’m choosing to believe that it’s going to turn into a Medieval Madness easter egg, and that hitting the left ramp is going to trigger callouts like “they took our thermal detonators!”

So with this completely baseless and unfounded theory in mind, what are some of the best Mad Libs you guys can come up with for Mando-themed “they took our _______” callouts?

Wellllll, I don’t know of a way to start it from regular gameplay and I’m not sure it’s wise to get into specifics in public since it involves some modifications to the game that may be frowned upon.

I’ll grab a vid of it running on my machine, though.

No problem. Now if I could figure out how to get THIS to pop up during gameplay...

Which would be what, outlane switch activation, tilt warning, then playfield validation? Is that how the old DE pins that rewarded you for death saves did it?

Do they have a public bug tracker or is it just kinda wild west email style?

I asked ZMeny the same question and he dodged it, so it’s basically a confirmed rumor at this point. Tell your friends.

Also I heard a rumor that Werner Herzog himself is going to make a surprise guest appearance at Expo to reveal the topper during the Stern panel.

Even if they were, you would still be able to test the switches themselves in the switch test menu.

Can you reproduce the problem 100% of the time if you take the glass off and manually trigger the sequence of events that cause your issue?

Sorry, posted that without reading the entire thread first.

Most of the code issues in Mando seem to pop up when modes are stacked, almost as if the node bus is getting saturated or something crazy. I think once the “final” rule set is in place, that’ll be the time they make one final pass and clear out the bug tracker at the end of the dev cycle.

Open the box, set it up, and play until something bothers you enough to fix it. Tried-and-true method over here.
