Quoted from PanzerFreak:

. Highest item on Dwight's list for Ghostbusters is to do something about the game being too messy, said too many things stack. Would like to see Loopin Supers played on it's own and not stacked with other modes, should be a moment type mode to get to

And some things don't stack when the probably should, like the terror dog hurry ups. If you start one, then the next, you get nothing for the first. That is if I remember correctly.

Aside from any bugs, my biggest complaints would have been the lack of difficulty adjustments in the menu in regards to ladder progression, captive ball timeouts, add a ball difficulty etc. Some things were too easy (initial ladder progression) and other things way too hard (captive ball awards for playfield multipliers). I found ladder progression to be especially too quick during SFMB which adds to the undesirable ladder mode stacking (which I didn't like either).

I don't think the game needs 'Are you a god' mode. Clean up the bugs, add some user adjustments, tweak a few of the modes (more time on Gozer (I think)). ESP starting points level could be raised (make it a setting too?) and maybe move Don't Cross the streams to the left vuk? Otherwise nobody will ever want to play ESP because it's too tedious to get the same amount of points as DCTS.

It's too bad about GoT code still being in limbo. I really enjoyed that game and in some ways regret selling it. Oh well.

Well, just my thoughts.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Well he did address some of them items he is planning on changing, an update is coming. However, it was very disappointing to not hear a commitment to adding an "Are You a God" super wizard mode. That mode is advertised on the game and needs to be added, otherwise it comes across as false advertising.

Implementing AYAG is not going to make the game any better if the current crop of issues isn't ironed out first.

- Make Terror Dogs more a bit more lucrative and they should be stackable!
- Close down ladder progression during SFMB. Or reduce ladder progression rate. Make it adjustable in settings please.
- Fix the bugs like where 2 modes can run at once.
- Give more time during Gozer(?) so the alternate shots are viable
- Extend or get rid of timer on the left captive ball awards. It's almost impossible to achieve playfield x through them.
- Make the left side targets do a bit more
- Add a worthwhile jackpot goal for SFMB ghost captures
- Make WCWSMB more fun by giving it some rules
- Please please please make ESP start higher, like 1 million or maybe even higher. It's way too boring/tedious starting at 100,000 (I think).
- DCTS made ESP almost pointless. ESP is way too much work to get the same points (50+ million) and failing gets you nothing for effort.
- Change the static scoring on the first tier modes. It's boring that they always score the same exact points.

That's the stuff I remember from owning the game. It would be my wishlist for changes if I still owned mine.

Quoted from DruTheFu:

Besides the scoring balances, for me, I would like to see that the modes in a ladder, once activated, would either let the player select which mode to play (like the minor villain selection in BM66), or make the mode selection within the ladder randomized.

This would not work simply because the modes are not created equal in difficulty and scoring potential. You have to earn your way to the more lucrative modes by finishing the simpler ones first. Random modes would thus be completely unfair in a multiplayer game.
