To be fair DJP was never intended to light just by playing a multiball but wanted to get it in the game for release. There will be other ways to increase DJP X value soon…

Frankly I much prefer these Destruction Jackpot rules (especially considering they were meant to act this way) over the multiball-heavy ones. I like that these encourage you to play the rest of the game out as well as possible for big scores rather than just focusing on multiball.

Played a few games on the new code and really enjoying it. Having progress in different cities and monsters locked to them is cool. Would love for megalon and jet hurryup timers to pause when the ball is held by magnet or scoop while videos play. Helpless feeling watching a good combo sequence or final fighter payoff blink away and no way to collect.

Anyone else seeing locked balls “lost” by the game if your game ends with balls locked on LE? Pressing START in this state does an immediate ball search, which of course finds the balls. Loving the new code otherwise!
I think the Destruction JP default after an MB/major mode is great. I works well with the difficulty level it has and the uncertainty/expectation of the value.
I have refered to it as “the pity victory lap” when playing with local heads. I was actually expecting it comming out some major mode on a game last night. Might have been Rampage. I dont remember which exactly. Veeeery dissapointed. Not the latest code.

Got our premium Friday, the game is amazing, the only thing underwhelming is the functionality of the insider connected. I know it’s in the early stages but I mean… weak launch with key features missing.
What are the key features that are missing?
A leaderboard with your friends and to be able to easily see their achievements and how you stack up with them. A way to see who shares games. A way to battle. It not being available as an app also is a downer. Im sure all of this is coming, I just wish a lot more was available to begin with.

Yeah, all that would be great, especially switching to an app.
During Godzilla MB should a ball ever stop under the building, similar to how a ball will get trapped in ST, or is that an issue with my building sitting too low?
- Being able to delete or reset your achievements and scores.
- See who’s following your progress
That shouldn’t happen as far as I understand. I’ve only played a Pro but based on the mechanism, there doesn’t appear to be any type of “catch” aspect to the mech.
This just happened to me. I hit the mystery shot which started super train but the ball ricocheted off the target and under the building. I had ball 3 lock lit prior to it. Unfortunately the building does not move up during the ball search. It eventually dropped the two balls I had up there. Maybe this can be added in a future code update.
City combos appear to partially in the game. I received one for 10 million (I think) by going loop to scoop. I may have had a center spinner in front of that. If I had to guess, he could be using them like EOTL in TRON by finishing a combo at the scoop. City may or may not have to be lit to collect.
Couple thoughts now that I have over 100 plays on the game.
First off, I love the flow and rules of the game, instant classic. These are all thoughts on how the screen is used.
Really wish the info displayed on the screen was clearer. The way that progress is displayed in games like AIQ and Maiden are really clear for example. Wish there was a way to see your progress on saucers. From what I can tell the color of the saucer indicates your status, but I’m just not seeing anywhere else to check your progress. Feel similarly about Jet fighter progress, just wish it was easier to glance up and tell how many you had collected.

Agree with the display stuff. Would be good to hang in instant info at least. Also, sometimes things like shoot Tesla or mechagodzilla ready will be on screen and not going away so you can’t see the bits of info that are displayed on the city like progress on tanks or raid status
Would be nice to see how far away you are from defeating monster, tanks, tesla, etc. before deciding if you want to move cities - guess it will be important in later updates.
Really hope that there’s more variance in sound and video clips to come as well
Has anyone defeated megalon with a full “combo?” Curious what the value of the final shot is like.
There is a Godzilla Pro on location near me that will not start Godzilla MB for some reason. Several people and I have looked at it and are stumped. You can advance the building until the insert turns green indicating Godzilla MB is one shot away, but any shots after that don’t start MB.
This all started after 2 updates ago (0.80?), but I was told it was working for a couple days after that update.
In switch test the opto at the front of the building works and the rollover switch to the left of the building works. I don’t see any other switches in that area. When you shoot the ball through the building the magnet never grabs it. The magnet works for magna-grab when it’s activated by the right return lane and shot with the right flipper. The node board tests don’t report any errors. The service menu says Godzilla Pro, so I don’t think the premium software was accidentally installed. All the feature adjustments are factory default. I did not check that the correct number of balls were installed when I briefly looked at it, but I have no reason to think balls are missing.
What could possibly be wrong with it and what is the next diagnostic step?
If you’re STILL on .80, that version required you to hit EACH ramp TWICE before the building can be destroyed.
Thanks. I’m pretty sure the operator updated to the latest code (0.81) in hopes that would fix this issue.
Once the arrow insert in front of the build is green doesn’t that mean next shot starts multiball (on Pro)? Would the insert turn green if the ramps weren’t hit twice yet to qualify MB?
And the magnet doesn’t ever grab the ball when the ball is shot through the building, but it grabs the ball from a magna-grab shot. Is there some sort of hidden proximity sensor near the building/magnet not documented in the manual?
