I just want to apologize for letting this get under my skin last night and adding to the "fire" and frustration by playing devil's advocate and trying to stick up for Stern a bit. While I do personally still think that the game is fine as is, I want it to get even better as much as everyone else does.
I like the ramp as it is (I honestly don't mind that it randomly dumps the ball on the playfield...I still think that was the original objective, to add randomness), but I can totally see how it frustrates some and they would rather have it stay put until the ball is down. Hopefully that logic will be tweaked to make everyone happy. As for things being in the menu, they could just go the route of removing them from the menu since there are no other references to them, but I honestly think they will be added to the game instead, and I welcome them with open arms. At least there isn't a Deadpool insert on the playfield mocking us in its vast nothingness! (I say this as a former WoF owner...LOL!).
So really, we all want the same things. It's a manner of if we feel as though we are entitled to them to turn a crap game into a good one, or if they will truly be "a gift" or a cherry on top of an already tasty sundae. I obviously think the later, but I can respect those that think more along the lines of the former. I get that many of you are looking at this as an opportunity for Stern to build trust and show their support for the owners as you have shown support for them by buying. Totally understandable way of looking at it.
Here is to hoping Santa Gary comes through, and no matter what we think of him and his company, his team delivers everything we all are wishing for.
Merry Christmas everyone! And again, if I caused anybody's blood pressure to raise, I do apologize.
All the best,
Chris
