Quoted from snowy_owl:First of all, let me say that JP is one of my favorite games. I am not trying to trash stern, but there's a part of the code that annoys me. With the new software, stern gives you the option to go straight to the main wizard mode (escape nublar). While that is cool, to me it defeats the point of that even being called a wizard mode anymore, since one can get to it with no work. Most people seem to like this feature, but is there anyone out there who finds this stupid?
I doubt we'd see the attention to detail for this mode if there wasn't an option to go straight to the wizard mode. Why spend the coding resources for a mode that 99% of the players are never going to see. You don't have to play it, so it really is a win/win in this situation. I'm glad it's in there. There have been so many times that I've finally made it to a Wizard mode but than had no idea of what I was supposed to do (along with the excitement of getting there) that I usually lose the ball quickly and have to start over. At least now we can practice which should help calm the nerves.
